      I have many tanks. My favorite is the Geekvape Zeus single coil with top airflow. I like this one because it doesn't leak. Also a Wotofo Sapor is about the same. But the Zeus performs better.

      I have a mesh rta made by Geekvape Digiflavor but I have yet to get it working. Dry hit city.

      I have had many mods. Most of them end up getting wet at work and quit working. My favorite is the Geekvape Aegis Legend because it is extremely durable and completely waterproof. I have some kind of Geekvape box mod with resin on the sides. I can't remember what it called. I ended up just using the Aegis because it is more comfortable in the hand.

      @DougNg yeah you're right. Having wattage controls and stuff is nice. But I got the Kennedy just because it is simple and pretty. I have been trying many different coil builds in it over the past couple days. And the only build I got that will produce a satisfying vape is running some 26ga kanthal in parallel 7 wraps. 6 would probably perform better. But the wire is so stiff that it is hard to fit in the posts and align over the airflow.

      I have some Nichrome80 wire on the way that is sure to knock my socks off.

      When I get some more time I would love to talk about juices. But this going to be a lengthy discussion.

        Thanks for the tip on the Zeus. Been looking for a single coil top airflow. Been pretty happy with my dead rabbit rta though.

        I avoid nickel coils because both my parents have nickel allergies and I don’t want to develop the same.

        Here’s a random trick I learned with velocity style decks. Go down one size on your jig when you’re fitting. The slop when you’re tightening makes it a lot easier. You can go up one size when you’re coiling as an alternative. If the coil is tight on your jig when your fitting it to the airflow it’s a lot tighter.

          The Zeus is the most easy to use tank and is truly leak proof. I own both the double and single. But you get a more satisfying vapor out of the single. Plus the battery life is slightly better. I have a few extra ones I can send you of you would like to try it out. I can send it for free.

            Nah, I'm about to place an order with Eightvape 🙂 Need to restock juice before the next furlough

            Thanks a ton though, that's very kind of you

            I don't do much with juices, I find a flavor I like and I vape the ever loving shit out of it. I think I went through two liters of Skwezed Mango. Switching to Skwezed Lychee for a bit. Got a case of vapers tongue.

            Been thinking about doing DIY juices, but haven't gone there yet.

              Have you tried the Steamcrave Aromamizer line? The build quality is pretty phenomenal, and it's also pretty hard to make leak because of the juice flow system. I have both the postless deck and the single coil deck. Side airflow but I've jumpstarted my coil in the morning by dripping into it and I've never been able to make it leak.

              You can set it up for dripper, 5ml and 8ml configurations, but I've found with Steamcrave if you use their super tall setups you get a reduction in flavor and warmth.

              Have you tried your Kennedy dripper on a regulated mod? What's it ohming out at? about 0.6?

                No I have not tried the steamcrave line.

                I make my own juice, and I prefer tobacco flavors. My favorite premade juice is Lunar Rover GLD. But it seems like they changed it somewhat and now it is sweeter.

                I build  the Kennedy on my Aegis and I think the Kanthal build I did last night was .14. I would have to double check that though. The quad core fused Clapton build in the OT is a .06 and it crackles like a crack pipe.

                      Did the coils glow from turning on other things in the room?!?

                        Actually both builds are about a .14 even the kanthal build from last night.

                          I only vape when I smoke weed. The company I use it called Dossit. It's alright. Can that be used for things other than nicotine? Also, I live in California so this is all perfectly legal for me. So don't call the cops.  😃

                          I thought it was mandatory in CA? 😃

                          Think it, be it.

                            Huh

                            I’ve got six wraps 4mm inner diameter with 26ga Kanthal in parallel and it’s reading at .55.

                            How’d you get it so low?

                              IDK… 3 mm,  7 wraps (14 wraps) x2 so 28 total wraps for both coils, 26ga Kanthal, 3500 MHA 20700 battery.

                                Ooooh, that's what you meant by parallel

                                I thought you meant dual coil in parallel

                                Not dual coil EACH

                                I have a couple series decks so that's probably why i was going in that direction

                                  Yeah wrapped in parallel means 2 strands side by side. This essentially doubles the Resistance and surface area.

                                  For example check out quad parallel. Worth a watch even though this guy grates on my nerves.

                                  Edit: I might have doubles the Resistance wrong. Cuts in half. But 2 strands is like a double barrel shotgun. You can only pull one trigger (single strand) or pull both triggers (parallel strands).

                                  Or you can go full-blown Phantasm 2 and do 4 strands.

                                    Yup. I get it now. You essentially have 1/4 of the resistance of 1 wire with your setup. That’s why I like series. Doubles the resistance

                                    But high resistance isn’t that popular

                                          I still haven't dialed it in yet. Part of the problem os that everything that performs great draws too many amps… But I did get some more kickass batteries that have a 45 amp pulse and continuous 35 amp drain that I can flirt with the .15-.2 ohm range safety. But 2 of these coils would put me at over a 40 amp drain. So single coil for now.

                                          I have been eyeing some staggered framed staple coils that might work. But before I blow $20 on a pair of coils I want to try some thinner gauge ni80 in parallel, due to be delivered today. I also ordered a set of different posts with smaller terminals to facilitate easier building with thinner wire. Because the wide slot on those posts is too hard to line up properly without causing a short.
