    I like Ni80 Aliens or tri core fused claptons in my Axials. Single coil 3mm or 3.5 mm.
    Great flavour and the ramp up time of Ni80 is quick

    huh_ i guess those must chunky enough then. thanks for info

    All the Boxxer talk - broke out my old single 18650 clone. Hits like a truck. Good beater if you don't mind the el cheapo paint job

    Good morning Shinyville! Doing something a little different for the family photo today. My son Matthew took 12 years of piano lessons, and I love to listen to him play. Today I'll share a couple videos of him playing piano. They are from a few years ago, but they are some of my favorites. Enjoy! :wub:

    Keep in mind I prefer a cooler vape and use citrus heavy not sweet juices. If I were vaping a toffee icecream or sweet coffee juice I'd run the coil closer to 50w.

    sounds fine too (toffee sounds disgusting though:lol:)

    i ordered the clone i ordered it the sxk i found two remaining SS ones at focalecig, at the german warehouse nonetheless!

    i watched some reviews of the authentic and found even more praise of the sxk clone in other threads_ pretty excited about

    IN FACT ,

    ehem
    in light of this we have found our-lovely-self overcome by a spirit benevolent and have decide to issue the following-gah decree: to all subjects shiny of the thread whose-ah namesake they have taken, with present effect, shall be allowed the suction upon the metal fountain dubbed the Axial, with all rights of pleasure and swag, wherein swag means the flaunting of cool imagery. Bells of approvation and happinotaion, bellow: vape forth shinyatians! _ except porkie _ !:pervy:

    No, I checked Ikea and they're choices are not good.. If your in Germany I presume (?) You might try this store, but check out the site for affordability:

    Finden Sie hier einen TEMPUR Händler

    thank you! you are a scholar and gentle_er_lady! will make a good baseline (at least). only wondered abt ikea for the delivery.. not that renting a van for this isn't worth it if i have to..

    Morning shinies ;)

    coil questions

    - does anyone know anywhere to get decent alien spools?

    - is alien v2 always with KA1 and is it nice to use? got so used to ni80 that i find the idea of ka1 odd for dl rba's..

    - when reviews say that to single-coil axial use chunky coils.. do i look at the gage or is it theyre wrapped and layered?

    - as such, the thing i've felt comfrtable ordering and dependable to use is wotofo stuff.. i got a quad core spool and plan to get their framedstapleclaptons. sadly can't find alien spools. after porkie saying alien is generally better and praising even the 20dollar/2coils, the 10precoiled aliens by wotofo don't sound that expensive. nonetheless, i am uncertain whether this is what'll make the difference_ whether it would be any different than a tricore clapton.. i.e. if wotofo just made regular claptons wavey and sell them as aliens (or is that all an alien is)

    been looking zivipf to these ends and am thinking abt getting something from there, a spool and/or precoiled. if/when i am certain axial will get here this second time around i will be needing something chunky. it is also a chance to try out SS coils. problem with their alien spools is that they lack the option of all SS and they don't offer ni80 aliens. i also don't know which of their fancy named wraps makes for a nice vape and which are cool but unusable (like juggernaughts which i've found to spit like crazy and wouldn't touch them again)

    i'm also wondering if all these multi wire thing is pointless and a flat wire will perform the smae..

    @TrollDragon you showed us zivipf as i recall.. any favourites/recommendation for someone that don't vape under .2 and doesn't go above 60w (it's blank that got me back to the 50s even), on Gear and elevate i'm always in the 43-7 range..

    If you want to try flat wire, go the ni80 road:
    NiChrome Flat Wire 0.8x0.2mm / .031*.008" - AWG 25
    This one from Zivpf should be fine under 50watts :wub:

    edited to add:
    this one is slightly larger 24g instead of 25g:
    NiChrome Flat Wire 1.0x0.2mm / .04*.008" - AWG 24
    and this one is 23g:
    NiChrome Flat Wire 0.8x0.3mm / .031*.012" - AWG 23
    play with them in steam engine to see what you prefer

    I just want a simple model. Would be thrilled to have the needle threader and thread cutter. Any recommendations?
    Enjoying my own Nana Butter today in my Aromamizer (first serious go with this guy since the lung surgery because I was afraid :ohmy:)

    Almost all the Brothers have some sort of threader. The PRW has a pull through, two hand style. It’s kind of prehistoric, but it works. The EM has a one hand, push through threader. Much nicer, some find it finicky. I have no problem with it.

    The Pacesetter does not cut thread, it’s not a big deal to me. I was looking for speed control and a back up button. It also does lock stitch, which I’ve never had but I think I’ll like. The EMs do an automatic lock stitch and it’s very clean. The new EM cuts jump stitches, and there can be hundreds of threads to cut in a single stitch out - like that ouija bag- so thread cutting is a huge deal there

    This might suit you. I bought from Moore’s, not Kens, and I called rather than shop online. Machines are going like hot cakes with the mask making. So it’s nice to know they actually have your item in stock.

    I still haven’t gotten a shipping email so I’m getting nervous lol.

    Virmy now just you be patient. Any time you start to feel that itch...think about all the other Axial lovers out there leaning back with half closed eyes. Thick, saturated, satisfying vape clouding the air. It'll make you feel so happy...won't it?

    I broke out a new squonk bottle last night. My absolute favourite- the sjmy from ft. Called "super soft" but is nice and firm silicone with a thick base. Really good threads on the cap and a catch cup design that stops any overflow from getting in the mod.

    One thing I hate is that new squonk bottle plastic smell/taste. So I'm trying an experiment (read it somewhere on ecf) of filling the bottle up with vinegar and leaving overnight. Will let you guys know the result in a few hours.

    perfect_ thank you
    think i'll be picking up a flat spool and one of them SS alien, maybe the .30 (the spools are all with ka1 so not sure, plus i'd like to finally try SS properly, my one try was the nunchaku2 mesh and it didn't fire didn't fire didn't fire didn't fire then burnt...)
    that and i'll probably order the wotofo framedstaple spool at some point. it's lovely! don't know why i didn't take to it at first..

    vic's latest whats up predicts new shenzen shutdowns... donno if i should wait for a sale..

    gonna be odd to wait till evening to try things out. prbbly won't have the will/time to rewick anything if i don[t have to..

    You’re welcome. I know that if you get to looking you’re going to see those $2k Innov-is and want that instead though :D. Very shiny.
    I already do want one but I have to choose my hobbies I guess. Drives me crazy to see things sitting around that I bought and do not use.

    At the beginning of the season here, I almost bought an electric mower. I already have a great Stihl weed eater. I decided I was going to do my own lawn maintenance again. It has only been about 5 years since I was maintaining close to an acre yard and a pool (I hired out my yardwork in CA during those five years) So I find one I like and put it in a cart at the local Power Sport place where I know I can go for maintenance. Do not pull the trigger just yet. In the next few days I decide to weed eat my backyard along my new fence. Only I cannot start the weed eater. I convince myself that it is only because it has not been started during the winter so I take it to the same Power Sport guy, he starts it pretty quick but agrees with me the winter rest might be the reason I could not start it. I get home, am able to start it again and weed eat my back yard. When I am done, I am exhausted and hot and I promptly come inside and take the darn lawnmower out of the cart and hire a lawn guy. Today is his second time here because I only want bi-weekly but I am inside happily watching someone else do my chores. Not sorry.

    isn't vinegar an acid?

    getting into the mod? something i should knows abt now that i'm mods deep into squonking?

    so per SE with ID 3mm and 6 wraps while leaving the others at default Legs 5mm and wrap spacing 0.05 , and assuming by playing is what resistance i get, only the last one is around what i been used to at 0.332ohm, the rest are higher resistance.

    i am wondering if higher resistance couldn't just yield the same vape i'm used to only with less power. donno how to calculate this. don't know what variable for 'vape' is to find the right equation_ is it heat?

    wouldn't Joule's power=current squared multiplied by resistance be better for that? there's something i'm missing isn't there hmm
