Menthol hate? Menthol is something you either like or you don't. Enjoy it if you like it.I am soooo glad I decided to try DIY'ing. Been at it since mid September and I have 3 recipes that are in constant rotation. I LOVE my menthols (sad to see all the menthol hate here) and am glad to now be spending .07 (cents) a ml versus the almost $1.00 per ml I have been previously.
Next big adventure... Cartos!!~
Not all hate! If I had not found menthol when I started vaping I would have never quit cigs.
Its still my main flavor. One lb off ebay has lasted me 6 yrs, now that's CHEEP!

That is cheap! Wish I liked the stuff.
But when I smoked and if i was out I would not even smoke a bummed menthol.

I don't hate menthol flavors. I just avoided it when I started vaping 3 years ago because I had smoked menthols for 45 years. I feared that if I vaped menthol I would crave a cig. Now that I'm over that I do vape menthol occasionally but it's not my ADV.
Since I only vape 3mg my 100% nic quart bottle I bought from MFS last year is not even dented. My guess is it will last years longer!
I have not done the math but have used maybe 60 ml of 100mg nic in 10 months....
I am probably set for the rest of my life.

I bought some 4oz glass bottles and broke the quart down to freeze. I have only gone through 2 bottles and I'm just on my 3rd. That was also making juice for others too. I bought it in August of 2014 so that's why I'm guessing I still have a few year supply.
Look what hubby just made me. He has been playing with a lathe
My driptip obsession just got bigger. I think it's a great first effort.

You are one lucky lady. Someday you and hubby are going to turn turning and wood box mods into a business!
No plans to do that. These are purely for me. It gives him something to learn and make.
And I get some lovely unique vape gear.
Yep. They should be the same thing. MVS is clearing theirs out so the price is lower. SV has a big business with cartos, so will have them so long as they are in business, I expect.
You do NOT want the black type cartomizer, however! And the ones from MVS are NOT punched. You would have to punch them yourself.
I get better prices on flavors for what I want at OSDIY Shop. I usually get my nic solution from MFS, however. Sometimes, if OSDIY is out of a flavor I need, I'll get it at MFS, but I'm not fond of the bottles they repackage the TFA flavors in.
I get my best prices on flavorings at Bull City Vapors or Ecigexpress.
My next Tootlin' project.
So little room in that Orchid to build on so I'm going to microcoil 28AWG SS430 and hopefully end up in the 0.9 ohm range and use 12mg Nic and hopefully Not keel over from a Nic hit....

28g Kanthal is my preferred. I usually do 5-6 wraps 2.5 ID spiral wraps (spaced) And man oh man for quick toots at lower wattage is great. No wasted juice, just clean toots. I just recently tried a duel build with a similar setup on my Aromamizer at 0.7Ω and all I can say is I was pretty impressed the performance
I have a tootle-puff related question for the coil gurus. Normally I use 7 wraps of 29ga around 3/32 drillbit, comes to about 1.7 ohms. If I used 28ga, I could do 8 wraps, and it would come to about 1.5 ohms -- fairly similar. The thing is, in the past I haven't cared for 28ga because it seems too slow to heat up. I fire my 29ga coils at 9w -- how high do you estimate I would need to set the watts, to overcome that slowness, yet not end up with too hot a vape? Just looking for a ballpark figure.

Nice!
Reason I'm using SS430 wire tho is because I can use it in TC mode on the Cloupor Mini+ pictured above or a Mech.
I did email Unkamen Supplies to see if he will get in SS430 in 30AWG, He said he was going to look in to it. Just want to try some.
I'm building single coils.

Honestly if I was doing that I would say somewhere between 11-13w It should heat up a bit more, but not unbearable. After 13w at your suggested vape style it might start to get too warm to enjoy. (assuming you are still using 29g.)
With my experience using 28g 15w at 5 wraps can warm up pretty quickly, so it's nice for quicky toots while still remaining fairly cool, while at near 20w if you don't draw hard and fast it gets throat roasting hot.
