My mind is like a well greased wheel. Slips and slides all over the place. Spins a lot too.

I can't sleep 
Insomnia is back, I go through stages like this, drives me nuts.

The 30g Ni200 wire is like working with thread it is very soft and can be hard to get a wick through. I twisted my 30g Ni200 up to make it a little firmer.
If you get Tempered Ni200 it is much better, but twice the price. The tempered stuff is almost like Kanthal to work with.
The 8 wraps of 30g on a 2.5 will give you 0.15 ohm, I found that 8 wraps of tempered 28g on 2.5 for 0.1 ohm provided a better vape than the 30g stuff does and is easier to work with. Ni200 coils have to be spaced so depending on the atty you are putting it in there might not be much room.
What you set the temperature to on the mod dictates how hot or cool the vape will be, you just have to play with the settings till you find what you like.
Also Ni200 and Titanium coils can NOT be dry burned like Kanthal & Stainless Steel can, just something to keep in mind.

I have a couple of vapeprods just sitting in the cupboard, after I gave up on using them with aspire coils. Too many little thing that were wrong to bother with.
This morning I was setting up one of my cerotanks to taste some of my new mint and I had to make a decision between a protank coil or one of my precious BVC coils while I was recoiling a protank coil I remembered the vapeprod and wondered, as the threading is the same whether the protank coil would fit. Firstly it didn't the small collars around the Kanger coils are too big to drop down the tube. So I got my sanding guru (hahaha) to take a bit off the collar.
Well that worked.....the 510 connector screw held the coil firmly in place. Now all I needed was a bung to manage the airflow. The actual SS bung is designed to sit atop the aspire coils and the chimney of the protank coil was in the way. So I tried the coil without the chimney and that just flooded in an instant, I tried all sorts of bits I had lying around but nothing quite worked.
Taking a breather and looking at the genuine SS bung I realised that if I turned it upside down if fit snugly over the chimney and the orings were able to do their job of sealing the eliquid in the tube.
Now I know that most of you won't have a spare vapeprod lying around and they are not cheap but I did and it's nice to get them working and in rotation giving me a genuine rebuildable fuss free solution for my Billet Boxs. Protank coils have to be the easiest coils in the vaping world to rebuild.
So some pics of the process showing how the pieces went together
I have them setup in both a tank and the Billet Box ( boro ) and they vape quite differently so I will need to tinker with the wicking to get the right flow in each device. I was also not really careful with my treatment of the coils while tinkering so I will recoil/wick tomorrow. Very pleased with the end result.

So... I told my wife that Provape had a sale 29.29 for a mini. She said "So?" I was so depressed I had to watch
Lower watts gives me a cooler vape.
Awww reminds me of me and @MikeyConti
Yes, very.....lol
Brilliant!

Krisma, that's brilliant and one hellova good piece of modding work there. Very klever, girl!
I happen to have a couple of Vape Prods still hanging around. My experience of them hasn't been stellar, but it hasn't been vast, either. I do need to give them a go again. I wanted them for my karto tanks, but it appears that they don't play nicely with ALL tanks. I give you credit for this adventure, as I don't have total faith in my/their abilities for use in the B Boxes. They're a wonderful idea, but I'm yet to feel totally secure with them. I'm going to try with another karto tank and see how it fares.
I love my B Bridges in the B Boxes, and it ain't broke, so......
@Rixsta What have you gotten me into?!?
Oh you two!!!!! How cute is that.
Now get a room.
(Rixy, you changed your sig!)

Agree with you totally. I never trusted the vapeprods. I would just get comfy and then they just seem to unscrew and fall apart, catching you by surprise. I was just tinkering and it seemed a way to bring it back into play without wasting my finite supply of old style aspire coils. I suppose it also gives folks that have kanger coils another option. It won't replace my use of the bridge anytime soon and maybe I should just work out how to get along with the new coils.
Krismsa, Are you in South Australia where the new anti vape legislation will hit hard if it passes?
Just saw something about it on Grimm Greens vlog.

Yes, I shake my head. But the truth is that I will vape regardless and I am well stocked with gear, and my DIY eliquids (plus nic)
It will follow the same restrictions already in western Australia
