I'm waiting on my Pico from MVS right now. Also picked up a Triton mini from them as well, and ordered a Kabuki from FT. I also ordered a CeroTank, just because, and it will use my Aspire coils as well. Now (even though the Pico isn't even here yet) I'm really thinking of adding the Coolfire4 18650, which takes single replaceable 18650 batteries. I'm just too afraid with the uncertainty to get anything with a built in, non-replaceable battery. I'll probably get it with the iSub V in the starter kit with it. I can get 2 ohm coils for it, and SS for TC when I want. There's also an RBA kit for it, so there's that for my 1~1.2 ohm builds.

I figure with my Plato for out and about (which I am really, really happy with), the Pico also for easy carry and any up to 22 mm tanks I get, and the Coolfire4, which is larger and can fit for any >22 mm tanks I end up with I'm pretty well covered.

Its the original Lemo. I use it allot the flavor is great and the airflow wide open is perfect for me.
I just got a Lemo drop. Haven't even opened it yet. Went on a bit of a tear buying rebuildable attys and the coils/heads to rebuild them. I think I'm in pretty good shape on mods and attys. Turning my attention to nic with the July 4th sales. I'll still buy a mod/atty that catches my attention, but I'm stocked well enough that I can buy for fun again. (Definitely at least one more Pico coming my way one of these days).

I'm working on learning to rebuild various systems. I won't lie. I DO NOT enjoy it. But, so far I've had at least some success rebuilding an eLeaf 1.5 ohm coil (very marginal success), the Cubis (very marginal success) and the Triton RTA head for the Melo 3 (very marginal success). Are you sensing a theme here? :unsure:

Thing is, I like some premade coils. It's not that it looks terribly difficult to build (especially for a single coil setup), but I can find just about everything I want in a premade. Of course my motivation for getting an RTA are the Deeming regulations, if/when getting premade coils becomes extremely difficult and/or extremely expensive to obtain.

If it were not for those upcoming regs, and all sorts of dislocations in the vaping market, I probably would have waited quite some time before getting into RTA's, but the way things look I feel the pressure of learning coil building now rather than after a few years of vaping experience. At least DIY juice is dead simple for me.

My experience and thoughts are very similar. If I could be assured of being able to buy coils from now on, I would not bother with rebuilding. But, I live in a state where tobacco products can only be purchased face to face. As of Aug. 8, coils will seemingly become a tobacco product, so I figure I better learn how to roll my own (so to speak). If internet vendors are still willing to sell me coils after that date, I'll be happy. My DIY so far is one or two flavors, and I don't get cranky about exact measurements except for the nic.

Puffin' tootles on the front porch, watching the kids play after a LONG day of work. Life is good. :)

lol ya just a little......

Well I think the Lemo Drop comes pre-built so it should be ready to go unless they changed that on the Drop.
Yep, but I'm trying to learn to build coils on all the new stuff I buy. I had a pretty good idea what worked with what before I ordered it all. Now, it's all running together in my little bitty brain. I did get the eLeaf ECR head, and I'm pretty sure that one will work with it.

I needed something different to go with the 25 black mods I have laying around lol.
Ha! All mine were black or silver until I was given a copper Hana. Then i was still buying bonly black or silver. Then I was given a blue iStick. That broke the black j silver rut. I found Hexes & want ALL the colors!

Corolla is a nice vape.

It's been my daily vape since I got it...very suprising since it was an impulse buy.

Sounds a lot like heaven to me.

Heaven is when the kids go to sleep and we break out the Vodka Gimlets. Which my lovely wife is making for me as I type this.

:)

I would be happy to continue buying coils. I have a few years in stock before I have to rebuild anything. I do have lots of backup stash. I figure by the time I have to use the Kayfuns I will only be vaping unflavored, the coils should last a long time.

I have my red, white, blue set, & the Mother's Milk, & Rainbows End. Still want a Pink Hex Angel Chicks With Wicks edition, the other Suicide Bunny, & I'd love a Hammond Finish or Sandpaper. Nuts, I know!

I still have a couple of those kicking around. Put em on the shelf in preference to newer gear, but might throw a build in for the better half.

Just wondering if it'll wick max VG... Been a while since I used one, can't remember what juice I was using then.

BOOM!

I just got a Lemo drop.

I'm working on learning to rebuild various systems.

I was resistant to building and happy with my single bottom coil tanks. Then I got into NETs. Trashing a coil in two days with NETS inspired me to overcome laziness and fear of building.

The Lemo is easy to build. I wrap a piece of wire around a small phillips screwdriver shank. By the time it gets into the Lemo, it's .... ugly, lopsided and unevenly spaced. But it always works! I should photo my coils some time so y'all can have a good laugh...

I still vape the non-NET juices in the BCC tanks and the Lemo gives me a full 30ml bottle of NET juice on one coil and 2-3 wicks.
