Dont get me wrong im not bashing using a torch i was just letting him know u only really have a use for it with 28g or smaller wire and to stick with 26 of bigger while learning
I'm just the opposite I used it on the bigger 26-24 g wire instead of dry burning cause I used to use mech mods alot and dry fireing would burn down A little 2000mah battery real fast and the torch would solve that issue for me

Hi everybody though.. I've been trying to prepare for basic training and battling a bit of depression at home.. Then my crown tank decides it wants to leak profusely despite replacing o rings.. I'm now looking for another tank I guess even though I had JUST bought some nickel coils for the damn thing.. Maybe I'll just get coil master kit and some wicking material.. Cause I did a horrible job with the twisted wire lol.. First attempt at building but maybe I made them too big?

Damn they got 1 hell of a start wait. When i enlisted did meps and 2 days later was at ft. Benning
Yeah man. I'm getting ready for my first assignment as an Army recruiter, and everything has changed. They told us most kids we sign up won't ship for at least 2 months unless they're signing up for a critical MOS.

It's the draw down. I think we still have about a 100K to cut and that's just Soldiers in the Army.

Whoa and I had a wait before I could even go to MEPS since they were trying to get more women in first

So I'm running the risk of sounding really dumb here but here goes I'm new to Clapton recently just made my first Clapton wire which led to my first Clapton coil now does it matter more what the core is or more what the covering is? Like if I wanted to use it in temp control does both wires have to be temp control or just the outer wire?

I think your gonna have alot of trouble doing temp control Clapton's TC doesn't like it when the coils touch and a Clapton is a bunch of coils touching.but I have heard of mixing ni200 with kanthal so if I were to try TC Clapton's I'd go with like 24-26g ni200 as the core wire and 32 g kanthal/nichrome for the Clapton wrap in theory the mod should recognize the path of least resistance which should be the core .... But to be honest without testing my self I have no clue sorry

The only TC control claptons I've seen, have been all Ni200. I think they did a 24g core and a 28g wrap.

The Navy and Marines recruiting missions are based on specific demographic markets. For example their goal for this month might be 2 Hispanic females, and 1 Asian male. Now they might find other qualified applicants, but the ones on their mission will be the only ones to goto MEPS this month.

Yeah, the only branch that currently allows you to choose your job is the Army. Every other branch places you where they are short the most.

Right. From the moment you came into the office you were going into that rate. The only exceptions are if you have musical talent. Then they may talk you into joining the band.

I've yet to find one that does Clapton wire best bet is go with 6 wraps single coil and test on a ohm meter should give you an idea

yes its the ud premade
i like my coils at 0.5 perfer to do a duo coil
I think with that 6 wraps at a 2.4 ID will give you about a .73 single coil. But I agree that you should definitely check it with an ohm meter.

50c6f280cb540865777795862d7f2e3e.jpg
replaced what I took with an ohm meter,a lemo drop,a squonker rda,2 coiler jigs,a single coil rda,a caravela clone mech mod With the other tubes (I couldn't find my Manhattan smh) & 24g kanthal,24g N80 & 24g Gplatt..

It's crazy because when it vw mode it will get so hot with an rda on it and it's fine I use temp control and it doesn't even have time to warm up and temp protect comes on. The smok tfv4 has issues with leaking so I'm def Leary about anything smok!!!! Or maybe from ecig.com

Hmm. I might have down that I'm going to check right now because if it's an option I'll use it because at least it's a little insurance but it's been longer than 14 days considering they have had it for at least 10days

I've never had my TFV4 leak, but I did read some of the complaints. Seems the culprit is an o-ring at the bottom of the coil heads. Someone here on VU posted about a fix...

Yes I bought like 10 of the replacement o-rings from him I just haven't used the tanks since I dumped several tanks on juice on myself that was my fault but I really like the kanger subtanks so it's been my go too for about a year
