I should buy a lottery ticket!

FT orders for me have been 3 weeks in shipping recently. The Ddvarw and top fill that shipped 28 Aug is already in the US, due for delivery 3 Sept - under a week cycle time [emoji106]

    Morning shinies ;)

    Thanks for the information.

    Does anyone know--can explain--how that .68Ω Coilology coil compares to MTL Clapton? I think that higher resistance of the Claptons would be more suitable for my MTL vaping style. I generally prefer tamer coils--2.5mm ID,~1Ω, single round Kanthal is my sweet spot.

    $3.03 Authentic Vandy Vape Superfine MTL Kanthal A1 Fused Clapton Pre-Coiled Wire - 32*2/38 AWG / 0.2mm*2/0.1mm dia. / 10pcs/pack at FastTech - Free Shipping

    Don't worry about the resistance, as what I posted was ni80 which is lower in resistance to the kanthal ones you've quoted. If you want to compare claptons etc to 28g round wire - it has more mass so it needs more wattage to heat up. But as it also has more surface area, it can produce more flavour and vapour.

    In MTL terms - if you vape a 2.5mm id 6 wrap 28g coil @ 10 watts, a similar coil in a MTL clapton would probably need 12-15 watts. If you want to try it, I find that a plain clapton coil heats up/cools down the quickest - whereas MTL staples and MTL fused claptons need a lil bit more oomph. So something like this, if you want to use kanthal:
    $2.96 Authentic Vandy Vape Superfine MTL Kanthal A1 Clapton Coil Pre-Coiled Wire - 30/38 AWG / 0.25mm/0.1mm dia. / 10pcs/pack at FastTech - Free Shipping
    or the wire:

    yes you did. You beat Charlie going off the air too.
    Oops, no you did not miss Charlie saying G'night but you have gotten here before Daniel
    yeah I got up a bit earlier this morning. There's a mad Currawong in a tree outside my window. Think he's love sick. Makes a racket before dawn that'd wake the dead

    does the Lustro have the same chip?

    The Lustro has a different chip. Although still a very good one as you know.
    The Minikin 2 does have the slightly better of the two chips:)
