.... You load up a fresh coil, grab your stuff and head out the door while you let that fresh coil soak up your favorite juice... ...and then you take a hit off that thing expecting all that yummy goodness... ....and you discover that coil is a dud or a burner! Aren't you glad you have back ups???

Or when you load up a fresh coil, grab your stuff and head out the door while you let that fresh coil soak up your favorite juice... ... and then you take a hit off the thing only to get a burnt, dry hit because you forgot to open the juice port to allow the juice to flow to the coil... That's when you're ever so grateful to have back ups.

Getting ready to head out the door to watch USC take on Arizona St at the LA Coliseum. Fight On! Getting ready to head out the door to watch USC take on Arizona St at the LA Coliseum. Fight On!

...or, you can't find the caramel macchiato because your wife got up before you and took that sucker to work with her.... ...Aren't you glad you stashed a whole bottle of cafe mocha SHE doesn't even know about???.....

Another bad thing is getting down the road a few miles, and discovering you forgot to change the battery, and its really low, and you have to use your backup, and that battery is not to great either. That's why I keep a charger in the console.

And back ups for backups.

Coffee in the morning. Beer in the afternoon. College football all day. Maybe a little baseball and a short video shoot thrown in for good measure. Is it noon yet? It must be 12 o'clock somewhere. Is it too early to crack open a beer? Fight on SC! Go Dodgers!! And a good morning to @smacksyand all of the VT peeps.

Gotta love vaping offshore

Thanks for the update on your update, Edna. I'm sorry yours didn't work out for you when it showed so much promise in the beginning.

Thanks

I will vouch for Comp's Tiger Wire. He sent me a bundle a while back and I used it a lot. I then switched to TC and quit using it. I still have a few pieces left. I use it in one RTA only. Since the mod I use has poor TC I switched back to Wattage and with the looming vapocalypse I tried to find a commercial available wire that would work similarly to Tiger Wire. The Clapton wire is good, but it isn't as good, but it is cheap, and easy to work with. I need to find a new mod, but with 6 NEBOXs, I am spoiled to the design. I would like to find something that uses a recessed tank like the Smoant, or something similar. I just don't want to spend the money. So I use my NEBOX during the day, and one of my "standard" mods with a Crown when I am at home in the evening.

The vape gods must be smiling on me today, I twisted up some tiger wire like Comp said to, Twisted 30g round and .5x1 flat wire, wraped 5 wraps on 3mm installed it in a OCC coil and got 1.2 ohms, just like I wanted. Now to wick it and see how it vapes.

I twist wires, but if I try a Clapton coil which I probably will, I'll just buy the premade stuff.

Seeing the OP was about clapton coils I thought Id post my try at it. This was 24g x 30g kanthel on a 3mm bit dual coil build in my Griffin 25 RTA...plenty of room on this velocity style deck made claptons easy to install and no dry hits thanks to the large juice channels..vapor production was great..these coils liked alot of wattage before they hit really good making the vape too hot for me..I don't wrap claptons anymore, and keep my builds simple..lol Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Yea no harm in having both on the site. The more the merrier.

Not really... 24r-.5f, 24r-.9f, 22r-.5f, 22r-.9f 28r-.9f, 28r-.5f, 26r-.5f 26r-.9f 32r-.9f, 32r-.5f, 30r-.9f, 30r-.5f

Most people like the 60w, I prefer the versatility of the 160w. you never know someone else might want one too. I think I'll go for the silver.

We all entitled to our opinions, Some like TC others don't, I like TC and use it about 75% of the time, I have 3 mods that don't have TC, can't use what you don't have. I have noticed some juices taste better with TC, others taste better using watts. But that's just my opinion, what tastes better to me might taste nasty to someone else.

For someone using a mech mod, a dedicated ohmmeter is a necessity, or they could blow themselves up. Newer box mods will not fire or shut down when the resistance is too low. When people first started building their own coils, mech mods were used a lot, so a dedicated ohmmeter was needed. I figure if a TC mod can detect a very small change in resistance, .0001 in some cases, they have to be pretty accurate even when used in watt mode.

I think I paid about $400.00 for my Fluke 87 multimeter, I bought it to work on CNC controllers. Not exactly cheap, but it wasn't designed for checking vape coils. Most of my coils I use in TC mode, and a lot depends on what the mod reads not what another device reads. I can adjust the multimeter to adjust itself to compensate for the lead resistance, but not going to do that. because I use different leads for different applications. The TC mods available now are far superior to the VV/VW mods of the past, when it comes to accurate ohm measurement. They may be more accurate than my multimeter.
