LOL Pics in vape mail later..nothing crazy, some juice and coils. (the way I intended my vapelife to go) I've made the decision to stop obsessing about tanks,mods,rda's,etc and just VAPE..Maybe DIY ejuice next month 
Forgot to check, do Yeti juices need steeping?You are welcome
I got that email saying my order is out for delivery
I don't normally steep them... but during a big sale they could be fresher and need a few days to set in.
Thanks !!!
Yeah.. I've been watching my son trying out stainless for coils, he really likes it... but it sure causes a lot more drama than plain ol kanthal -- I've had maybe 1-2 hot legs on coils in 3.5 yrs vaping, using kanthal. Using SS, he's had 2 in the last 3 wks. Kanthal may not be very exciting, but it WORKS. That's all it needs to do.
I suppose a case could be made for the fact that he's a new vaper, new builder... but hellfire, it ain't exactly rocket science. If you can wrap wire around a drillbit and operate a screwdriver, it's really not that challenging. He may need to tweak a few settings, maybe get some 27ga wire, to get the kind of vape he wants, using kanthal, but the up-side is, no hot legs when you need to be at school in 30 minutes.

FWIW Andria, I've been using SS, mostly 28 gauge, for about a year now and have never had any issues with hot legs. I mostly do non-contact coils now, but I have also tried a bunch with contact. Heck, sometimes I've gone back and forth with the same coil
My bet is the same thing would happen to him with Kanthal. He'll get better as he gets more experience
As Mr Cromwell said, loose connections are always a bad idea, and even more so if you're trying to run in TC mode. Any change in build resistance is going to give you a problem with TC.
New contact coils typically get some hot spots until the wire surfaces that touch become oxidized enough to stop shorts from happening. With them I almost always get a hot spot between wraps or on a leg until I've fired the coil a few times and/or strummed the coil a few times with something. This hardly ever happens to me with spaced coils.
Before I put wicking into a coil I fire it and make sure there are no hot spots between wraps or with a leg. If there is a hot spot you can get rid of it then before the wicking is in.
Might also be a good idea for your son to fire the coil after wicking and juicing it to make sure no part of the coil glows then. It can change after wicking, two coils can be moved by the wicking so they touch, and this is real quick to do to make sure. If this check is good, he should be good to go
Ya, there's not much size difference between 27 and 28 gauge wire but I don't have any Kayfuns so I'm no help here. Sorry if I missed it in an earlier post, but why won't 28 gauge work for him?
But I don't think he will; like me, he can't see any earthly reason to huff when you're trying to avoid smoking, there is no similarity in the act at all... and though it's not quite as severe as me (he doesn't have asthma, just periodic bouts of asthmatic bronchitis), he can't tolerate too much VG; as I said, I expect any time now to hear him coughing as if he's inhaled a whistle; just using 70/30 gave him that a little, so he went to 75/25, and even 78/22, so i don't think the 50/50 will suit him for all day/all the time vaping. I told him if it starts bothering him, I've got some banana flavor, some custard flavors, and even some banana nut flavor, and lots of PG, so I can probably doctor up the 50/50 and keep it tasting good (it's a banana pudding flavor).
He's delighted not to be paying thru the nose for cigarettes anymore, yet not feeling any lack or any suffering from not-smoking. 
I get in trouble for new mods all the time.
At this time, though, I have to agree -- I have enough mods right now and don't need any more. 
Yeah. How many times have I said that?
Cloud Beast is fantastic. Better than the Cloud King IMO.
Of course you did - you're the Voop King.I VOOPED
@Ryedan You and Sadie cross my mind every morning while enjoying vdw. Hopefully you'll be joining us soon!
