A bit off topic, but do people actually pay $30 for a pair of fancy smanchy coils and an extra $7 for "seasoning"?
I can't imagine paying almost $40 for a pair of coils no matter how cool that are. That to me is completely mental.
Am I missing something?

That's nutty.
And I say that as a guy that has no problem spending $200-300 for a good pair of boots/shoes, owns high end Swiss watches, own insanely expensive bass guitars, have a big Bordeaux/Burgundy wine collection, etc.
Sorry, unless a genie pops out of that atty to do cheeky things, I just can't do a $100+ atty. Maybe smoking killed my ejuice tasting capabilities.
I have paid $100 for bottom feed squonking attys. But that's just about my personal ceiling.
Nope, not here, especially when there is hardly a difference to a regular kanthal coil. I bought a spool of clapton wire (the smallest diameter you can get that was for lower wattages that i vape, around 20 to 25 watts) and for a month I tried them in each and every rta I own. I went back and forth, even side by side with exact set ups and juice and hardly found any difference. Maybe in an rda at much higher wattages there could be a difference, but not in my rtas. So honestly I took them all out and am back to 26g regular kanthal coils.

160 for a mark bugs rta a couple years ago was the highest I paid, as for a mod, 600 bucks.

I thought you would of snagged that puppy for sure...lol..... no that is crazy indeed and a rip off

Same here.
I bought 3 expensive 25" spools of Lightning Vapes Clapton and am not a fan. Takes too long to heat up in my mechs. I used maybe a foot of it.
I do 26g kanthal mainly but am playing around with nichrome, SS, Ni200 and titanium. Just out of curiousity mainly.
Agreed....... I also bought from lighting vape, but the one spool I bought wasn't to bad, maybe 20 bucks or less? Still expensive though

I think they are $10-ish. Another $30 in the vape box likely never to be used.
I am using twisted 30 and 32 gauge kanthal a lot too. Great wire I make in seconds with a drill.
If I spend that much on a set of coils, I'm attaching ear loops and giving them to The Wife as earrings... framing them and hanging them on the wall... not vaping with them.
I do buy the occasional spool of fancy wire... got a spool of alien and a spool of SS316L stainless on my desk. But, most of the time, I'm using 28-24 AWG round wire in either SS316L, Kanthal A1, or Nichrome. I do have a spool of 28 AWG SS430, and a spool of 28 AWG Ti#1, and 28, 30, and 32 AWG Ni200, too...

Maybe the guys that make them are the Picassos of wire craft and have super celebrity status.
I thought it was nutty. Full websites dedicated to prebuilt coils too. A couple of the owners are cool ECF members, so I won't call them out. But someone's buying this stuff!
I think your right......yep I'm with you on the twisted 30 and 32, they make a nice coil for my resistance and wattage range also

To each their own. Everybody has their thing, I guess. Personally, I don't need my coils to be 'artistic'. I just need them to function properly. The only time I look at them is when I'm dry burning and rewicking. The rest of the time, they are hidden by the metal cap on the atty.
Clapton and fused Clapton wire isn't that hard to make, with a little practice. Not something I bother with for the mechanical mods I use.
