Always carry a back up..LOL! Get an icare or something like that..you won't even notice the extra weight on you. it's kinda like the old derringer gun....tiny, there when you need it and it works when you find yourself in trouble.

I guess I'm used to the prison...er...I mean postal system I worked in. If a customer called with a complaint about a postie leavin' a card without attempting to deliver, we'd be raked over the coals. I still have da scarsI'm not sure my mail carriers would give a rats behind
(not that I ever did that...honest!) I was so afeard o' gettin' in trouble. Plus, I had work ethics. Jist cayn't find gud employees these days

I had something delivered by a new courier company last week and the youngster bounded down our steep driveway. Gave me a bit of a start........ No one bounds down our driveway. I wonder how quickly that slows down.

I really do forget there are some postal slackers. Heck, I used to bring in seniors' empty garbage bins. I was heading to yhe house anyway.
I'll have new toyz 
So, today was the first day in a long time that I had a full day to myself. I took the opportunity to clean my atties with the plan of recoiling and rewicking. Note I said planned. My goal was to recoil a wine, 2 kf mini v3, 2 kf v5, and a fatty. Well after futzing for nearly 4 hours I have a wine, and a kf v5. The rest, no matter what I did (tried 27g, 26g and 24g) would NOT take. I couldn't get both screws to catch with the wire to safe my life!! I tried replacing screws, switching screws, etc. and nothing but frustration. I got so fed up, I went into the stash and took back out my subtank and nano with blister pack coils!!!
What am I doing wrong? I love my kfs, especially the v3 mini and fatty. Is there a FT link for new shorter screws so I can have a bunch? Or do I just give up? I'm so frustrated right now I could scream. Sigh.
Thanks for letting me vent.

You will have to get creative and make some pretty stickers for them
That, that, that, that would require me to be............ CREATIVE
I'm excited for, but dreading, the long drives coming. These AIOs aren't internal battery, but I guess I'm not quite so concerned about that.... I can still charge via USB, and I got two, so I have one always available
Sorry you're frustrated, Pokes. I just don't even bother with less than 28g on my kf v3 minis. What resistance coil are you seeking?
I have heard in the past that you might take a triangle file and channel a teensy bit under the screw to give a little bit more room to grab the wire? I don't have an angle file, and the last time I tried to mod an atty, I gorked it
P.S. If you're looking for lower-resistance coils, I've been using 28g Nichrome wire. I have both my V3s about 0.8 ohms, but I could wind a normal coil (about 7 wraps)

On the minis I've been trying for about 1.0 - 1.2, I don't know why, but I thought the mini wouldn't take lower than that well. I have some ss wire that I haven't tried yet, maybe that would work better than kanthal. I haven't ventured into TC yet, too many things that I don't understand. I only have one DNA 75 that would handle ss, and the two new teslas say they do tc with ss, but again, I don't know what temp I would need to set it to or any of that stuff.
Right now I wish I still had my egos and evods. Life was SO much simpler then. Not as good a vape, but so much simpler.
Oh man , i went through the exact same thing and i was ready to freak out and go berserk , no joke, i was actually shaking i was so ...... & i am extremely docile & non threatening in nature.
You will laugh but it was such a simple solution , i am 51 and i did not realize my vision was so atrocious.
As soon as i put a pair of readers on i was coiling till the cows came home & i don't own any cows but if i did i do know they rarely ever come home , (very very slow walkers) & they take their sweet time (probably on purpose) because they instinctively know you are in a rush to go somewhere.
Enough of the cows , anyways thought i would share , now i'm all ...... off at cows , got to lay down now .
Good luck
SS *CAN* run on VW - I have a few mods which can handle SS TC. I haven't found that "sweet spot" yet. I'm not sure how "good" my SS TC mods are, so when I do wind with SS, I just stick with Watts. I just run a little cooler than with kanthal. However, I'm pretty stoked about Nichrome. That's a nice go-between compared to Kanthal and SS......
I understand the sentiment about the egos and evods. Loved my Innokin VV3s and MVP2s. ProTank2s were my mainstay for a long time. I'm now looking at my rack of toppers, and there's nary a PT2 or an EVOD sitting out.... And the only ego-like I have any more is a Vision Spinner
I'm not even sure I know where the charger is
@herb, don't be pizzed at cows - THEY'RE TASTY!!!!!!
On more stubborn terminals which don't trap wire well I make sure to make a tight U around the screw with wire, then pinch it with a tweezers, leave the leads a little long so you can pinch with fingers while tightening, it helps. KF Mini, and Mini III
One little trick is to start your wires on the left side of the screw so that when your turn it to the right it will grab the wire as you tighten. Hope this helps poke.
pokes, I feeeeeeeeeeeel your pain. The KFM are a drive ya krazy koil adventure. I do believe that the bases and screws are not all that and more, and it's NOT you.
One word: Egg Rolls.
One word: Egg Rolls.
OK, will try to calm down , just upset that they walk so dang slow , probably under 1 mph , it's outrageous !!!! , a crippled turtle would blow a healthy cow away in a race imo , think i need to go lay down again.
that's what I was thinkin - egg rolls are very close to the old kanger coil experience (to me)
pokes ~ try using TOO MUCH wire; those longer 'legs' can be of MUCH HELP holding wire to screw, while you screw (and be sure to wrap CLOCKWISE so tightening screw pulls the wire in)
then don't read too much into the TEMP CONTROL world, set the watts, start low and climb with the TEMP ° (just that simple)
I saw a trick by qorax (I think) on a calix's setup that had the coil on a small bar, wound the legs around the screws and then took the wire and looped it around the bar (only temp to hold it while he finished both legs). That helped me a lot.because you can see the wire is under the screws properly before you snip the excess
