Great video Russ very thorough..... now for the questions hey you asked for it lol
I hear you talk a lot about tensioned coils. What exactly does that do over a not so much tensioned coil? Is that to help reduce hot legs, or make it glow more evenly, both?
I have used bdc coils in a tank, but when I build, have stuck to single coil around 1.5 ohms. I've never vaped a sub ohm coil. Is the biggest difference with your net .5 .6 ohm coils the amt of vapor you get, or are there other differences as well?
I know in a previous video you said you didn't like the twist and tug method of cutting your leads, why is that? Just personal preference or a specific reason?
I'm thinking about a marquis clone from FT but where can you get a non bf atty modded to be a bf?
Thought I'd toss this link out there, I haven't bought from them yet, but it appears to be the same KGD, still 12.00 for 60 pads, but free shipping. Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads - DermStore
that's it for now, but gimme time, I'm sure I can come up with some more. lol
ETA: See, I knew I could come up with more. lol
where do you usually get your nic and vg?
I vape high pg, around 70pg, would this make much of a difference with your coils/wick?

Without offense intended, what are you talking about both here and in the later post about money changing hands?
Hi dan, I'm not sure what that means but there are no tricks applied or intended. Just the only way I know how to upload vids.
I wish I was getting money, but I get that from my day job. I do use the YouTube monetization feature though (but who watches those ads anyhow
) and I can tell you that with well over a million minutes of my vids viewed and hundreds of hours shooting, producing, editing and uploading the paltry amount I've received in return in 8+ months of monetization was barely enough to buy a very inexpensive video camera rather than use my iPhone to shoot . I have spent way more $$$ on this video hobby already than I ever expect to recover from youtube rolling ads (that you can skip / close) on my vids. I certainly ain't shooting vids to get rich, but if It can help offset the costs of the studio lights alone, I'm down.No, I do these as a hobby that spawned from wanting to help people.
Is there a better way to upload vids so as not to scare people off?
Oh, no I'm not a seller / supplier. Just a vaper who will settle for nothing short of a simple, easily duplicatable kick ayuss vape
Rock on

Thanks for the compliments and kind words ya'll I have the most awesome audiences anyone could ask for
I have the most awesome audiences anyone could ask for If the X_Drifter man gets got or gets a few bucks form me watching his video, OK by me. I have watched many of them, a few more than once. His vids have given me a lot of knowledge that I doubt I ever would have attained on my own. He does it with good humor and enthusiasm. I am going to go now and watch an ad, which I have never done.
Thanks Super_X_Drifter

Hey deb
. Thank you I'm not very god with the science behind the TMC, I'm more of a "seat of the pants" style vaper. But my man Mac here explains it pretty well in another thread we have called something like "Tensioned Micro Coils - the next step". Here's a recent quote from him:Hi B and welcome.
Simple answer is a tensioned micro coil allows you to put more wire mass within a potential coil/wick volume area concentrating the power in that internal volume of wick. Internal pressure builds rapidly in a wick of properly matched density to the wind resulting in a lowering of the the vaporization point temperature internally. This in my opinion is what delivers the net increase in efficiency over an open wind within the same geometric volume. Why those sampling a true t.m.c. report a cooler vape. They are describing a rapid phase transition at the given resistance, i.e. more vapor production.
A t.m.c. doesn't gunk more. That's contingent upon by how much juice is processed;
A t.m.c. doesn't heat up or cool down faster. That's dependent upon the mass of wire deployed;
A t.m.c. doesn't heat up adjacent wire driving up resistance. By promoting rapid vaporization the element runs cooler.
A t.m.c. doesn't form a pipe. Fissures large and small exist due to diameter and oxidation imperfections which force vapor release throughout the wind.
A few thoughts of my own to consider as we try an actual t.m.c. What is the vape temperature I am sensing? How does it relate to a standard wind?
At the end of the day what matters is how efficiently the heat energy we're applying to the juice provokes transition.
Good luck all.
Aside from those benefits listed, What I'll add is the consistency I get in every single coil, the ease of wicking, the advantage of a more tweakable positioning afforded with a small diameter coil in relationship to the air source.
For me, a 0.5 ohm net dual coil build I a setup with larger airflow capacity produces thicker and greater quantities of vapor. It's not a hot or even warm vape in the right atty, coils positioned correctly and a wide bore drip tip. I'm not a cloud chaser but I like a lot of thick vapor.
I prefer to cut my wire but that's personal preference
Hot legs for me are very persistent and difficult to remove on builds with less than 8 winds.
I get my bulk nic base and bulk from MFS
And yes, Nordstrom, sephora and others like your link are good sources for GENUINE KGD. I just advise against buying from eBay or any vape gear peddlers
Definitely on watch list this afternoon when I get off work. Sent while puffing on my Reo/Odin combo with dual tensioned micro coils, wonder where I got that idea for such a slick setup? You da man X!
No, no, they can't do that...That is against the rules, the Geneva convention and possibly the laws of physics themselves.
I knew about the black screwdriver thing, it seems UD has a thing for that color so pretty much anything that comes from them is black and or black and silver. I'm still loyal to the blue screwdriver though, nothing will change that. Anyone think of starting up the Blue Screwdriver Religion yet, that would be amusing.
I guess you'll have to watch for yourself

That is just one of the several compliments on this video
Excellent video. I've just a couple of comments on the Gizmo. You can get them for less at Hobby Lobby with their 40% off coupon, around $7 and change. On the bolt, washers and wingnut assembly, I use a rubber grommet to keep the bolt firmly in place in the dowel, I also super glue one washer to the wingnut to keep it in place to make wire insertion easier. Inserting the wire in the wingnut assembly prior to putting the dowel into the Gizmo is also easier. I've literally wrapped hundreds of coils with the Gizmo and it's the best. I like the 3mm dowel for wrapping for RDA's rather than the 1.5mm you use. I use that one for rebuilding Kanger coils, just right!! Thanx for the awesome vid!!
Nice tip on the super glue-ing the washer to the wing nut BCD will do that when I get home. Thanks! 
If they do start that religion, I will be set. I've got about 100 of those nasty little things. "Screwdrivers for the poor, step right up, screwdrivers for the poor!!"

Damn good tips BCD! I'm all over it. And thanks for the props.
Reign, I'm right with ya there brother
Russ......thanks so much!! I know ultimately I'll just have to try stuff to see what I like best, but I'm getting things a piece or two at a time, and just can't try everything I want to, and sometimes curiosity gets the best of me! lol I'll check out the TMC thread. I really appreciate all the time you put into doing these videos!!
Good tip on the rubber washers and super gluing it! Also, thanks for mentioning the dowel Russ uses is 1.5mm saved me from rewatching that part then converting the inches to mm. lol

You gotta watch the Drifter for the entertainment value....What we need is more Heavy Metal! Keep on SXD!
Unfortunately the Geneva convention is like the Constitution... no one in power pays attention to it.
Not meaning this as an offense. I was gonna check it out.. 1.5 hours is just too much time. Also I prefer pics, writings and steps... nothing against yours.. just how some of us roll.
Hey Drifter, did you ever think of cutting up the long videos into segments? An hour and a half is a long video to watch and I think segments would let the viewers grab them a bit at a time.
Yet another reason to break it up is for those, such as I, who have internet service which is nearly as slow as a 56k modem. Out here in the outer most reaches of Ole Kaintuck unless you get HughsNet, an hour and a half video is simply impossible. Fifteen seconds viewing, ten to twenty second second pause over and over, it is excruciating. It would be an all night procedure when the traffic is lighter and somewhat faster.
