make sure you wear those galoshes! :D
LOL....I have the most re-donkulous snow boots....big rubbery things, with big warm liners. They look like old-timey astronaut boots :lol: But they are warm & waterproof! I have to carry a pair of sneaks with me because it's tough to walk stairs with gigantic feet :|

Hi @daleron :rolleyes: It's going slowly, but I imagine that's a function of the box of vapegear I have collecting dust in the corner :lol: There are tons of interesting options. I believe I have caught up on the latest tech, and now it's a matter of narrowing down choices. I am currently leaning towards a Vaporesso Revenger X...light, two 18650 batteries, with good performance with the available firmware update. But the thing is all shiny plastic...the fingerprints on it all day long would make me nuts :lol: But...I think it would be a fairly inexpensive upgrade/stepping stone if I wait for an Xmas sale. So there's time for me to change my mind again :D And I'm looking at a Coil Master kit...I could use one of those :thumbs: I have been using drop in coils for a long time and haven't fiddled with coiling my own for awhile, because life gets busy. However, reading all about vape gear again makes me want to play with the coils again. ;)

I recently got the Coil Master kit with the 521 Mini Tab. Boy does it make building coils easier. BTW is my first run at coil building for an Ammit 25 was aiming for a 1.4 coil ended 1.5 but wicked up and not leaking, so winner.

I'm glad you can report favorably. I used to wind micro coils on a 1mm needle, and larger coils on screwdrivers, and checked resistance with a multimeter :lol: The kit looks more contained and simplified! I can also see how the kits help keep coils spaced and even throughout. :thumbs: I will say you had better luck with your first coil than I did...we were kind of winging it, with some very clever folks trying to teach us through the forum. I sucked at it at first, but got OK with it in time. The first gennies didn't really satisfy me, tho...

    Hey Stone,I don't know what you like for tanks but the egoOne tanks I do love and the CLR coils can be re-wicking for many times before they need a new coil.
    Thanks for that suggestion. Simplicity these days is key for me. I've been doing some reading on the EgoOne tank, and it's on the list. I definitely want something easy MTL for travel/work, which is most of my time usually. Do you happen to know what wire/wicking material the CLRs use?

    Here's the thread,Stone.Nice people,eager to help. Personally I use 30 gauge kanthal and cotton wicking. Sometimes rayon. Easy to coil also.eGo ONE tank series – CLR coil
    Thanks again :thumb: I did take a look at that thread, but IIRC, it's a long one so I thought I'd get back to it. I'll take another look tonight
