So I got $125 in amazon gift cards for my birthday...

[SgtSponge]

I know there is a lot of vape stuff on amazon( wire, Japanese cotton, battery's etc) What do you guys think I should get with my new found amazon wealth? I am getting a tugboat soon so I can make big clouds. But all i have in 28g kanthol, so I know wire will definitely be in the purchase. Any of you guys recommend which gauge I should get or even Kanthol vs Nichrome? I want clouds dammit! And all i got battery wise is Lg 3.7v 18650-HE2 2500mah (Amazon.com: LG HE2 18650 2500mAh 35A 3.7v Rechargeable Flat Top Battery: Electronics) So I know a new battery also might come into play. Thank you for all your help in advance and have a relaxing Sunday everyone !

24 or 26g should do you fine, just remember battery safety , maybe pick up a tank or so, last time i checked amazon didnt offer too much variety

 

[SgtSponge]

A tank? like a RTA?

 

[Jvalles95]

I was thinking something like a prorank for when u need something on the go or a nautilus , if theyvoffer rta then go with that

I know I've said this like a million times but I guess I'll say it again. Don't buy batteries from sites like Amazon and E-Bay they might be knock offs and when you get them it'll be too late to do anything about. Same sellers that are on E-Bay are also on Amazon, save your money buy yourself something nice on Amazon but don't buy batteries from there. Trusted authorized dealers only!

Oh okay thats good to know, is it trusted if I buy the batteries from a vendor on Amazon who is Lg, Sony Etc.? Or do they sometimes put fakes out there too?

You don't know if that's really Sony or LG, buy from trusted sites like:

Authentic AW Batteries - RTD Vapor
Fenix Flashlights, Solarforce, Cree LED, Lithium Batteries, Lithium Ion Batteries, Li-Ion Chargers, Maxpedition Bags, Spyderco Knives and more!
Batteries-Chargers-Flashlights-Only The Best

For more information about specific batteries go here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4848-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected.html

Orbtronic is also a trusted site for batteries and they are back from out of town, so they should be back in stock and vending.
18650 Batteries Li-ion rechargeable.

Go to a nice Hobby site and look for Jewelry making tools, they are not too expensive and are smaller than normal shop tools. You'll be able to buils great coils till the cows come home. Might look into a nice free standing magnifyer with attached helping hands clips.

There are many fake name brand batteries on amazon.

It is much easier to just buy batteries from places like rtd vapor and illumination supply. Then there are no suprises. Any money you may have "saved" buying on amazon evaporates with the first fake purchased.

Thankyou for all the suggestions...What gauge wire should I get on amazon since that seems to be the only thing I can get on Amazon I guess haha And should I get Kanthol or Nichrome?

Kanthal start out with a 28 gauge and experiment from there.

Temco might not be the cheapest but it's tried and true, rest is up to you.
Edit: Also, wire isn't the only thing you can get on Amazon, there's other hardware sold there that's fine, just stay away from the batteries.

 

[Wraith504]

Cant go wrong with 26g kanthal. Nichrome is going to give you lower resistance and ss 316L is even lower. Since you dont have the best batteries yet, I would stick with kanthal. Maybe you can get an ohm reader and a digital multi meter.

Here's a few possibilities for you to consider:

1. Plastic Battery Cases
2. Coiling Gizzmo
3. Ultrasonic Cleaner - If you are into DIY (or would just like a fast way to clean all your metal mods)
4. Cape May Polishing Cloths

Alright kool thankyou for the info, I'm going to get better batteries I just don't want to get a 100 ft of wire that useless haha

Okay kool I use 28 right now and I got an ohm reader of course don't wanna kill myself haha ...should I get some VTC5's? Would that be a good upgrade from my battery?

Your welcome!

If you have some brass or copper mods you may be interested in the patina look. If so, look at this wonderful video:

If it comes down to it I know a place near me that buys gift cards for money. Exact change also. You want to buy from local b&m that might be a idea for you.

 

[Kaezziel]

I just ordered a bunch of stuff off of amazon.
CityPisces is a good vendor there (sells women's shoes mainly) But I got a Tobeco Knight mod in 18650, Gladiator UDT-V23 in 26650, and a Tobeco Orchid V2 from them.
Also picked up a copper Tobh in 18650 and a stainless Tobh in 26650 from amazon... as well as kanthal and nichrome in various gauges...
I had a bunch of gift cards and actually found a bunch of good stuff there... no complaints from me, and if you have any questions on which vendors I got what from, feel free to send me a PM

If you are into DIY, Essentials Depot sells their VG and PG there.
