There's an old joke that "Wind-chill" was invented by a meteorologist that also smoked... The dialogue went something like this: Meteorologist: "I'm going out for a smoke" Producer: "It's cold out, better bundle up... the thermometer says 10-F" Meteorologist: [Jokingly] "I think I'll strip down to my underwear and see how cold it 'feels"... that will give people a better idea on the effect of wind on your skin" [strips and goes outside to smoke] Producer: [after a couple minutes - pokes head out the door] "So, what's it feel like?" Meteorologist: "F-F-F-F-Feels more like t-t-t-t-two" Producer: "You better come in before you catch pneumonia" Meteorologist: "I w-w-w-w-ill ... in a m-m-m-m-moment... gotta f-f-f-f-finish t-t-t-this cigarette...."

You got that right! It got up to a whopping 13 degrees yesterday. Just the thought of going out for a "smoke" made me shiver.

I recently made a 600ml batch of 30/70 PG/VG mix, with 25% flavoring... and yeah, it seemed to be a ton of flavor (150ml total) and only 30ml of additional PG. When you mix a 30ml bottle with 20% flavor, you don't think much about the volume of flavor because 6ml is so low, but when you multiply that by 10 or 20 for larger batches, it does seem like a lot, lol. I've had to double-check my math before too... especially after mixing one of your juices that is only 15% flavoring, and then mixing an even larger batch of one that is 25-30% flavor... it does seem like a ton of flavoring when you're mixing really large batches

This morning I realized that things are changing fast. First thing in the morning I vape my little ego or nautilous mouth to lung to get some nicotine in the system. That is no longer satisfying. I want that wonderful direct to lung vape with the airflow wide open. How relaxing! So nice!

The short answer is the control circuitry steps the voltage up by drawing higher Amps... this is why you need to make sure you are using high quality, high Amp batteries in your mods. In order for your mod to step up to 75W with a single 18650, it can draw upwards of 20A+ (depending on the mod's chip-set and the charge-level of the battery). Most mods have safety built-in to prevent them from exceeding a specific Amp range, just like they won't fire coils below a specific Ohm rating. @jasonculp did a really good write-up on how the chip-sets bump up Wattage, Amp load on batteries, etc. and can give you a much more detailed answer... but suffice it to say, the mod's chip-set does a lot more than just display the Ohms, Voltage/Wattage, and battery-level

If you're going with two simple coils, I'd go with a 28 gauge (Kanthal) to start. Then you can tweak it as you want for different performance.
