Should you poke holes in the cotton of your coils?

I assume you meant 30 ml of juice? $21-$25 for 3 ml is a little pricey. :D

I've been buying mine for ~$20 per 120 ml. I'm spending significantly less than what I did on smoking, (PAD of American Spirits at ~$9 per). It'd be even cheaper if I wanted to step it up to 240 ml, (or 480 ml), but I haven't found a juice I like quite that much yet.
@7sixtwo yesss lol typo. You buy online? I'm scared to commit to that much online and receiving it and I don't like it.

I DIY too. Hard to believe that I once spent $22 per 30ml. The only thing that regularly reminds me is my wife who still vapes store bought juices. But it was I who was the heavyweight of juice consumption so I suppose it worked out better this way.
Heavy weight how many mls is considered heavy weight ? I saw this vanilla custard online 120mls for 25.99 might get it.

Yeah I buy online, cause the local B&M juice prices are distinctly "rapey". Check out Vape Wild, they seem to have the best combination of quality and low pricing, especially when you buy your flavors in 120 ml or larger bottles.

Thanks @7sixtwo hopefully they ship to Canada!!
I'd be pretty happy with that head life at that power. Plus I've only heard of poking holes in horizontal coils. This allows a bit of wick feeding from the inside.
same coil is still running. Thought it was on its way out and wrong I was haha!

I was paying $25US per 50mls for my wife's juice and she vapes @50 mls a week so it adds up fast. I now make her juice for 5 bucks per 200mls and its way better juice. I have no clue how much I vape, I just know its way more than my wife vapes.
The Kanger vertical coils had issues with the cotton being too tight and dry hits so a fix was poking around with a pin to loosen the cotton but other than that its very easy to overpoke and cause leaks.

Any tips and help I got was from the DIY section of the forum. There is a wealth of info in there on making your own juice. I've been DIY for over a year now and all I can say is that I can't vape commercial juice any more just cause of the over sweetness.
