This a million times over, it's not rocket science to build your own coils. Plus it's cheaper than paying £20 for 5 coils that you will be lucky to get a weeks use out of.
I don't understand why people just don't build their own coils. All you need is wire, an ohm meter, a coiling jig and away you go. It's just so easy to do, I've got 2 spools of fused Clapton wire and takes me about 10 mins from start to finish to get my coils up and running.
If you don't want to build your own coils then just get some pre made coils but even then it's just cheaper to build your own.

tbh i don't even bother with the ohm meter, but then i'm only building kanthal and i preferr to balance by heat glow than by pure resistance.
coil master v2 kit is all you need, a bench vice helps a lot
add a battery drill and some fishing swivels you can make any of the "practical" coils (ie not fancy braided stuff thats mostly for show)

Checked again today and it's now saying 18 days so I've cancelled it. I'll get it from somewhere else.

Trying to get used to vaping again
Throat is choking like a mofo on a lower wattage than I used to be on, but Twelve Monkeys Mangabeys is really cutting the tastebuds at the minute, very impressed with it.
real nice that stuff, but one of the worst coil killers i've experienced, can kill a tfv8 coil in half a day

That may explain my issues then hahahaha

i'd say so, i wouldnt use it in a tank for sure
Yeah I will know that for the future, makes sense why the T12 coils were burning out so quick

yeah, its lovely stuff but like many "premium" juices it's choc full of sweeteners. drippers are a tad more resiliant, and much easier to clean out when the gunk takes over.
normally i'd stick with places like nova or jackamoo for daily use, much cleaner.
although that said, smok's coil qc isn't the greatest, get a good one itll last months but most arent good

Well this is my third now and its horrendous... Probably just me not being able to hack it anymore but hey ho, gonna give the troll a proper go this week and see what I think
You'll get this with just about any hot running coil and coils don't run much hotter then juggs...

yeah, good plan, although potentially maybe a return to something more mtl is called for?
Thats a good idea, what do you suggest?

no idea, havent used mtl for a good long time, but if i were to drop back would be either building on the serpent mini, getting something like a nautilis 2, or ressurecting one of my older tanks.
Oh well, today has been a disaster completely, I'm that sick of the taste of burnt cotton i'd rather taste cigs 
Ijoy EXO RTA....worked fine for 2 days, now just constantly fluctuates resistance, so when you're getting a nice warm vape the resistance triples, along with the voltage, nice ****** burnt cotton taste. A little googling suggests the black version of these (what I have) has **** poor conductivity. Back to China you go.
Evic Primo, now auto fires as well as refusing to read 50% of all my attys, that was a nice discovery to make mid vape, when I put it down and it was still firing.
Sigelei 150 TC, unsure if related to the earlier EXO fault, now bounces resistance all over the shop, oh vaping a 0.25 setup? let me just drop that to 0.1 and **** your lungs up, oh and now the battery door as good as falls off.
The batch I made of Gee's fuji forest has gone from real sharp apple, to absolutely zero flavour, not sure what I've done wrong, too much VG?
All I bloody well want is a mod that does everything it says on the tin and a big RTA that doesn't suffer from garbage QC or severe leaks.
*rant over*

Could be mate. I always do my mixes at 60/40 and I've never had the flavour drop off so quick like that. Could probably add more concentrate to it?
