I'm not sure where you'd pay $50 plus for a set (a pair?) of coils. The hand wound coils I mentioned are 2 for AUS $25 (US $8.75/coil)

I just bought a 10 pack of the Vinci drop in coils from FT for US $24.73

Comparing the longevity of a hand wound premium wire coil that lasts for months and handles multiple cleanings to a drop in coil that is trash after the wicking dies makes an interesting comparison.

I love that vaping was the path that cured me of smoking but I also vape for other reasons
uhhh...I googled the place you mentioned and on any given page they are $20-30 each so that would make them 50ish a set (or pair, whichever you prefer)

I do not use drop ins much so I cannot relate to your comparison. To each their own. Not putting anyone down here just stating that I did not see myself paying $50ish for a set

The aromanizer supreme V2 is right next to me now....unfortunately still mint in its cellophane wrap. I must build it and try it. I'll probably have a big building marathon when i've got my stem cell stuff out of the way. Soo much kit and not enough time :p
yes, you really should. Awesome vape and always in my rotation.

    I would've chose the SS, too, and for the same reason, but the bronze is really beautiful. Hell to match, though. Black, maybe?

    With those tones, even some ss or gunmetal attys may work. Black definitely would though

    I have Velocity decks in mine as I got them long before the Supreme V2.1 came out with the stock postless deck
    So since I love the velocity decks more I guess I need to watch for SupremeV2 instead of V2.1? I wonder if many vendor know that

    Funny story goes with that. One day many years ago the wife needed to shave her legs and her stupid plastic Bic razors were too dull. She borrowed mine. Both legs were rather bloody after using it AND she was ...... at me!!! Women. :facepalm: I did tell her to be careful beforehand. She said "I know how to use a razor". Famous last words!!! :p
    It is what my dad used and what I used on the first time shaving my lags at like age 12. And YES both legs were very bloody :(

    I'm not sure where Pigs got his coils from but I got myself a pack of two Cloud Revolution coils a few months ago that I paid about $20 Australian for the pair:)

    And @Fredman1 you need to get home so you can play with the incredible Armageddon v2 ;)
    Ah @AngeNZ believe me, i'm thoroughly enjoying this holiday, but catch myself thinking about it (with a leaky mouth) several times each day. I am soooo looking forward to it :banana:

    Somehow the stars have aligned and I'm supposed to get like four different orders today. One of them is the mosaic white Luna I'm excited but also nervous cuz I've seen a couple really ugly ones but 98% of them are absolutely gorgeous LOL. Of course with that much mail I can easily see my mailman pulling up undeliverable status update on me. I'm going to try to be out there so at the very least he has to look at me while he drives past without delivering my mail.

    I hope the Luna has a little bit of pink or purple in it's Mosaic arrangement and isn't super duper crowded as far as the Mosaic pieces. The ones that have a ton of stuff on them always look kind of bad to me lol
    Ava-did you see the message from NIko at the Asmodus thread?

    Good morning shiners! Now NY gov Cuomo wants to pass a flavor ban even though his “emergency order” was thrown out in court. Worst part he keeps talking about all the deaths from vaping. I’m really losing all patience with these politicians. Tweeted my frustration out at him, but we know it’ll make no difference.

    There, I vented.
    Ugh, I don't blame you one bit. Vent away.

    You might be hard pressed to find old stock with the velocity deck. Steam Crave calls the postless version V2.1 on their shop but many online retailers just list it as a V2. It's too bad they used the same model number for both versions (SC204).

    Easy to grab a few Veloctiy decks from Steam Crave or FT etc. I use spare decks (already built and wicked) to swap out a gunky build, just pop in the prebuilt, juice and go. ;)

    I've been playing with the Gas Mods G.R.1. First build was more like Daniel's, single wire, Maybe 0.8 ohms. This one is with the ss .8 x .2 x 40g. It's the spool I got from LV. The jury is still out on this one. The 40g wrap is uneven (unlike a Framed Stapled) and when you wind it the wraps separate even more. I don't recommend a Coil Master. The wraps can get stripped away unless you're very careful. I did a slight tension wrap using a drill and long mandrel. More springy than most ss and sprung out from 2.5 ID to a perfect 3mm ID (which is fine on this atty). Resistance .3 ohms. Mike Vapes was using a .25 ohm coil with some type of Clapton, didn't say. Flavor is great but not sure about this wire. I've had just as good a vape with plain flat wire. Yeah, I don't think messing with this wire was worth it for me...If anyone is curious and wants to try it I'll be glad to send you some. Or all of it, lol.

    See all the space between the 40g?
