Mmmmkay, I bought a box of 500' rayon at Sallys, bought coil master kit which came w/10ft of 26g wire, picked up a Royal Hunter X and Tobeco Stargate RTA $15 each yesterday (holiday clearence). So now wut???

Steam engine confuses me to say the least. I'm thinking in the future I will want a Etheon because I guess it's a Hadaly that doesn' leak?

My issue is this,, flavor chasing! Due to a medication (adderall) it does something weird to my senses. I drink tons of water plus hot teas each day. I've practically sworn off most caffine. Gawd I miss black teas....

It's not olfactory fatigue or dehydration. I know when I haven't drank enough and try to avoid most of the time.

As of last week I started buying 0mg e-liquids. Even my favorite took a taste hit because of that. I hope once all my juices are 0mg, my brain will come to like them as well.

On top of this I'm a super smeller. Boo to those who don't believe some people like myself continued to smoke to avoid smelling the world. Smells can trigger migraines and nausea for me. I never really lost much of my taste and only some sense of smell smoking. I smell things no one else can smell, even as a smoker. vaping is amazing alternative as long as I can taste it...

Saturday will be 18 weeks ZERO ciggys. I'm amazed at how easy my transition was because I went straight into DL sub ohming. 36 yrs, multiple quits and fails, used every quit aid from the horrid nasal spray to lozenges. Still keep the 2mg for in case of emergency can't vape times ; )

I have a Revenger and a broke 510 on a G priv ( any links to fix would be appreciated.

My tanks are Baby beast w/GT4 coil, NRG & Big Baby w/GT2 coils using non or lightly sweetened tobacco/cereal/bakery juices. I run these tanks at the low end of coil rate.

Blazer Pro w/.03 ceramic coil using menthol like juices. I run at 85 watts and it is a cool wonderful vape with tons of clouds. Unless I chain vape then it gets a wee bit hot. This tank I get very little flavor from and is why I'm using menthol juices in it.

3 Tobeco w/.5 coil and can run any juice with on point flavor. I run these at 37w to start and end up around 44w by coil change.

I have to change coils at about a week to wash because flavor becomes muted. I do a quick hot water boil, then PGA soak, then warm water rinse soak, air dry...

I would love to learn how to rebuild the Tobeco coil heads. I know the gage is smaller than 26g and they use a parallel build. Many wraps. I like the simplicity of drop in and go, no leaks ect.. I'm a chain vaper with small children around so tanks are a must for me on weekends and evenings. Dripping is doable during the day.

So besides to rebuild those coil heads, I need to know what size wire to buy and type of coils to build for the Stargate and Royal Hunter X to get similar results as my Tobeco Super tanks? I do have a drill.

Bought my son a N2 and I tried it out using the .7 coil running it about 21w. While it was restictive, it was still a flavorful enjoyable vape. I could use this as a stealth vape lol.

I want dense cool/warm small clouds rich in flavor which would be equivalent to my super tanks. But wouldn't mind trying a build to get into the 30-ish watt range. I do not wish to vape over 50w except on my Pro. I'm beginning to think less may be more for me personally due to my med/taste issue.

I know this is a long drawn out post, but thought it might be helpful in getting opinions and insight. Oh one last thing, I'm pretty sure I have a sensitivity to PG. I won' be buying any juice less than 70/30 and may have to switch to 80/20. Still trying to figure that out....
Stop taking adderall there's nothing wrong with your brain

So you're a doctor, and you can accurately diagnose a patient from a few posts on an online forum?

Nope, for yours. The post you responded to was a joke not a diagnosis, or even a serious suggestion.
Nothing obvious making it a joking. In fact, nothing at at all indicating it's a joke. And I've seen too many people here and IRL casually dismissing ADHD (among other things) as not being real to simply ignore such posts.

Can we just say that sometimes on the internet, using writing without all that "unsaid" communication can cause misunderstandings, and leave it there? I see merit in both sides, and I can also see it was probably a joke, open to misunderstanding??

Christmas spirit and all that? I got snarly (IRL) at someone yesterday and had to apologize today (openly, in a large group?) and it's not the most fun thing to do ever... really I wish I hadn't gotten upset at all....

I have ADHD but I also joke about it quite often.... I just have trouble with my punchlines sometimes. :)

No worries. I have noticed that humor styles varies from country to country and isn't quite as universal as some may think. We Americans are a sarcastic lot and as it happens I speak sarcasm fluently. :D

I'm a Finn, we speak sarcasm fluently. However, in writing sarcasm needs to be indicated, which it didn't in that post, not in any way. The poster has yet to confirm that it was a joke. Perhaps you know the poster, and can therefore determine that it was a joke?

Well I'm old school. I just use Kogendo cotton. Still have a huge box of rayon but it was a pita to use for me.
Wow, time does fly in this industry. Seems weird to say kgd is old school, but I guess it's been a couple years, so maybe....when I think old school, it was just sterile cotton from cvs, or better yet, no cotton at all , but mesh or silica....I wonder what the next big wicking material will be?
