Bushwick

New set of claptons, 24g core wrapped with 26g nichrome...wrapped on a 2.5 mm screwdriver 4 times @0.17 ohms.

A little out of the (Incredibly low) price range right now. Check to check, at the moment. Had to pick up a $15 120ml...

I'll get back up there eventually. I've been running the same build for almost a month because I can't even budget wire at this point.

I've been thinking about grabbing a bottle of that PBFB. 

I'm way past that point. lol i was like that almost two years ago
Welcome to the club, dude. 

I may or may not be there. I can make it to Pomona, but I don't know if I want to cut a huge hole in my wallet, ya know? It looks like it's going to be pretty great though.
 

This stuff is available all over the place. It's exploded in popularity. There's also a 10% and either a 12 or 18% ABV version. All of which mask the boozey taste very well. It's a dangerous beverage.

My favorite place I sat down and vaped at has to be atop Fort Rock in Central Oregon. One of the most beautiful places. I left behind my two climbing partners and took off to a peak by myself for a quick vape. Sat for maybe 5 min or so, and looked out on nothing but flat farm land. Gorgeous.

You're getting it shen. Those look alot better than the last ones you wrapped. Also, smaller wire for the outer wraps (not the core) will help the gaps close up a little as well. 

My second try at claptons and they came out better and perform amazing. 26ga core wrapped with 28ga, 5 wraps on the 2.5mm coil master rod @0.25 ohms. Currently run it between 70-80 watts and get excellent flavor and vapor production. Only downside is that it kills my batteries in my sigelei in a day as opposed the usual 2 days time.

Cotton bacon has been around for awhile. I've heard very seriously mixed reviews on it. I know people who live on cotton bacon AND people who refuse to use it again.

hehehe I'm a bad influence. They're a P.I.T.A. to put together, but once you get them done and look at them, you feel so accomplished. Welcome to the nerd club.  Plus they make you look cool. 

Look at how much cooler I am now!
 

Spent some time watching coil tutorial videos. I'm holding Bushwick solely responsible for this due to his helixed wires from a couple of weeks ago 😉... Basic single helix coil: twisted 24g Kanthal helixed with two strands of 28g Kanthal. 5 wraps, right at 0.2 ohms, flavor for days and not a bad cloud either.

Take it really slow when you wrap your claptons, Shen. Take your time so that you can wrap it up nice and close. I know I have to go super slow to make mine look nice. 

Welcome to the forum. You should find everything you could need here. If you don't find it, just ask! 

Tam is right. We're all a bit weird. We normally just hide that side from the new guys for a while.

I recently tried ANML's "Looper". I was skeptical at first because I ate a lot of fruit loops as a child, but this flavor is amazing! It even finishes with the sugary coating on the fruit loops. It's a spot-on recreation, in my book.

Thanks! I don't have nearly as much time to build anymore. But I'm sure I'll sneak a few more pics in over time. Just keep your eyes peeled. I'm a long time lurker on this site. (2.5 yrs)

So this used to be my favorite and most-contributed-to thread. Seeing as I am now cruising the site again, I figured I'd throw up some shots here.

These are glow shots and not AT ALL my best builds. Just some cool pictures of some fairly plain builds that I've done in the last few months. 


I decided to revisit twisted flattened wire. 24ga this time.
 
A loosely wrapped clapton. I wanted to get a clapton glow shot. I wrapped a much tighter one than this, but I wanted to get a better view of the 24 at the core. This one produced a much more pleasing glow shot. I'm a better builder than this, I promise :P
 

This was purely for detail. I roughed up the wire with some magnetized pliers to get some shavings on the wire. I DID NOT VAPE THIS. 


Hope y'all enjoy. Some cool shots of some simple builds. I'll try to contribute more.

*conspiracy theory incoming*

Similar to the way that the govt. (both Federal and State) don't want other possible health improvements left alone (and or legalized [i'm not naming anything I promise]), they don't want anything "e-cig" or "vape" related to be left alone. There's a lot more money in "Big-Pharma" and "Big Tobacco" than there is in an industry that has already exploded. There is no room for them to come in and regulate this industry in a way that could be equally profitable. Instead, they are going to stick with their previously accepted (and otherwise ignored) cash-cow, Tobacco taxes. A quote from a previous rant " I understand that the increased taxes supposedly fund tobacco related medical treatment, but it strikes me as odd that California seems to have fewer smokers per capita than other states, but some of the highest taxes on tobacco products in the country. " 
 
 If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Especially when it comes to the money fountain. These are simply my thoughts/opinions. Take nothing too seriously. Just food for thought. Chew it apart.

I've had so many people try to tell me I'm "smoking antifreeze". It's just a minor annoyance at this point because I enjoy educating people, but I always get hit with those comments at the worst possible time. The last guy who said something caught me in a really bad mood, but I slowed down and told him "The chemical you're referring to (propylene glycol) is simply an ingredient in SOME antifreezes. And it only is because it lowers the freezing point of water. It's generally considered to be non-toxic, and if I WERE vaping it I would have absolutely no issue. But My juices are all Max VG or Vegetable Glycerin. Now, when you have some sort of evidence suggesting that Vegetable Glycerin is going to kill me, come talk to me. But until then, **** off!"

He couldn't get another word in after his initial comment and being the large person that I am, I'm sure he was a bit intimidated when I expressed my anger. He may also have been shocked at the informed response.

^^^^^^^ Sooooo Jealous ^^^^^^^
