    My kids are old enough to know not to touch anything in my room. My boyfriend already has nicotine, VG, PG, and sweetener but mostly cause he was getting ejuice on eBay in a 0 mg. I have just been spoiled on premium juice. I don't like his organic nicotine it doesn't have that satisfying kick I like.

    I suggest getting a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 35 headphones for the walk down your driveway.
    Bluetooth and background noise cancellation make these the best headphones I've ever used..
    A bit pricy but worth every cent.. [emoji4]

    I've been following this thread with interest, just to kind of get an idea of what people suggested.
    Vaping, while originally started to get me off the analogs, has become yet another hobby for me.  I already had plenty of hobbies, though.  From guns to scale model building to running a website for a model club I belong to to guitars.  The only difference between the things I do now and the things I did when I smoked is the fact that instead of having an ashtray sitting next to me on my main workbench or my mobile workbench, I have a mod (or 2...or 3) sitting next to me.
    The hardest part for me when I first quit was avoiding those things I normally associated with smoking.  Things like drinking, bars, friends who still smoke, etc.  I really didn't find myself getting bored because I wasn't smoking anymore, I just kept living life as I already did with only those few exceptions.  So you may not need a new hobby, you may only need to keep doing what you did prior to quitting with the exception of avoiding those triggers.

    I like Siriusxm too but I find subscribing to a couple of streaming services are cheaper and more useful to me.  I set up all my own playlists to suit my moods and find that just about nearly every thing you could want is findable, from comedy to classical and everything in between including podcasts.  I'm in heaven.  I have my mobile or iPad Bluetooth to my car, headphones, powered monitors and it's fantastic.  Kids today don't have any idea how fantastic they got it!

    Members can edit their own posts within a certain time limit (I don't recall the exact amount of minutes, but it's fairly short). After that,  you're stuck with what you originally posted unless you contact the mod of that area or an admin to make the changes for you.

    I'm glad it made you feel better I have a tendency of disappearing from time to time but I am trying to get better at responding on here. I tried the pen when I first started vaping it didn't work well for me. I don't tend to like anything high in nicotine. Part of it I'm sure is cause I smoked lights and didn't actually take in much smoke. It was more the habit of having something in my hand. I try holding my mod more than I actually vape most of the time.

    No your reply was great. I was asking if anyone had ideas on things I could do to beat the boredom cause I have been avoiding contact with cigarette smoke as much as possible until I get used to it completely. I don't crave them but at this stage the smell makes me feel sick. I also said you could just share some of your hobbies to start a conversation as well.

    I am learning the hard way with smok its best to wait anyway. They have been sending a limited amount of things in one or two color options. I settle for a color I don't want then they come out with loads of new colors after and the price drops dramatically.

    I vape at the same wattage on the CB and at about 75 on the BB.  Go figure.  Maybe something while cleaning them?  Honestly, I'm at a loss as to why they would warp (absent exposure to extremely high heat from the tanks).

    Never fear, the apparent resident expert is here.  (Those are other people's assertions, not mine.  I just happen to love the TFV8 line of tanks and have done a lot of research on them).
    Before I go into detail with an answer to your questions, I'll start by saying that @DWrainbowvaper36basically hit the nail on the head that the biggest differences in coils are airflow.  Honestly, the airflow differences between the coils are the biggest differences.
    Now, the more subtle differences in the coils have to do mostly with the actual number of coils in the assemblies.  I'll break it down by the name of each coil for you:
    T8 coil: This is an octocoil (this means there are 8 distinct coils in the assembly).  The T8 is rated at .15 ohms and can handle anywhere from 50W - 110W, depending on how warm or cool you prefer your vapor to be.  With the octocoil you are going to get most likely get the most vapor.  There is more surface are contacting the cotton and the higher wattage capability of this coil will vaporize more liquid as a result.  However, due to the higher wattages necessary to run this coil in an effective range you are going to experience a faster drain on your batteries. T6 coil: This is a sextuple coil (6 distinct coils in the assembly).  It is rated at .2 ohms and can handle anywhere from 40W - 130W, depending on how warm or cool you prefer your vapor to be.  Contrary to what physics would tell us about the resistance and how many watts should be able to run through it, this coil can actually be run slightly higher than the T8 coils, thus producing a warmer vape.  With the sextuple coil you are going to get vapor that is almost but not quite as prevalent as the octocoil.  The flavor will be slightly better.  The assembly is identical to that of the T8, so airflow is the same. X4 coil: This is a quadruple coil (4 distinct coils in the assembly).  It is rated at .15 ohms and can handle anywhere from 30W - 70W, depending on how warm or cool you prefer your vapor.  The housing is different than that of the T8/T6 housing and has less restrictive (more) airflow.  If you like higher airflow then this particular housing is the way to go.  With this coil you will get a nice balance between vapor and flavor, but if you are a mouth to lung vaper then it definitely isn't for you.  (In fact, if you are MTL then the baby beast probably isn't for you anyway, although it is possible.) Q2 coil (both options): The Q2 coil is both unique and confusing.  It comes is two different resistance variations, a .4 ohm dual coil and a .6 phm dual coil.  The .4 ohm version is rated from 40W - 80W while the .6 ohm is rated from 30W - 50W.  Both coils use the same housing as the X4 and have a lot of airflow.  Flavor is, in my opinion, superior with these coils but vapor production tapers off considerably compared to the T8, T6 and X4.  These will also produce a much cooler vape than the others mentioned so far. There are two new drop in coils coming out that will also be confusing, the M8 coils.  This is another dual coil that is available in resistances .15 and .25 ohms.  I would imagine these are probably going to be rated in the same range as the X4, but I cannot confirm that at this point.  From pictures I have seen they also seem to use the same housing as the X4 and Q2 coils, so airflow will be high. RBA deck: The RBA deck for the Baby Beast comes with dual claptons pre-installed.  The dual claptons are rated at .35 ohm resistance and can handle anywhere from 30-60 watts.  The claptons will help with both vapor and flavor production because of the way they are constructed (more surface area and the "why" a clapton works better than a standard coil is an entirely different topic).  After the claptons have run their course you can pretty much build whatever you want on it, which is nice because it means you can use nickel, titanium or stainless steel and use the Baby Beast on a TC mod (unless you have one of the very few mods on the market that will run kanthal in TC mode). To sum all of that information up, higher resistance will mean less vapor, but better flavor.  Lower resistance will mean more vapor, but flavor will be sacrificed.  However, as someone who has used the Baby Beast extensively, you really can't go wrong as far as flavor is concerned.  If you have seen my video review of the tank, they should have called it the "Flavor Beast", because it really packs a punch where flavor is concerned no matter which coil you are using.  You will have to make sure the mod you are using will fire down to .15 ohms, but most mods that have been introduced in the last couple of years will fire down that far.  
    With the lower resistance/higher wattage combination you are going to be drawing more amps and the length of time your batteries last before needing to be charged will be less than with the higher resistance/lower wattage.  You will also notice much more liquid being consumed with the lower resistance/higher wattage coils than with the higher resistance/lower wattage coils.  Add in the fact the Baby Beast is only a 3ml tank and you will be refilling it often, even if you choose to go with the .6 ohm Q2 coil.  
    Hope I cleared things up a little bit and didn't make anything any muddier than it was.  Really the choice is going to be based on how much airflow you like, how warm or cool you prefer your vapor and the amount of vapor you want to produce.

    For what it's worth, MSRP on the TFV12 according to SMOK's website is going to be $59.99. The MSRP for the TFV8 Cloud Beast is $54.99.  Considering there are plenty of places where a Cloud Beast can be had for about $30 online I expect to be able to find the TFV12 for around $35-$40 online.  The price will likely be closer to $40 for a bit and will start to drop to around $35 after the initial "ooooohh" and "aaahhhh" period.

    Got a pack of the T10 coils for my CloudBeast tanks from my local shop.. so far I'm impressed, [emoji4]
    Rated up to a whopping 300w the cloud blown here almost blocks out my 55" TV at 150w..Just when I thought the T8 was the cats' meow here comes the T10..And I've heard Smok has the TFV12 CloudBeast King tank that uses the newer V12 coils out now, but sites l've visited are sold out and not currently in stock...now this may not be news to some of you but it was to me when I made a run to my local shop for wire (RTA-2, Griffin)..
    Will probly get this latest Beast when it is available.. [emoji4]

    And you are doing a great job of keeping everyone here in the loop.  Per above, you are already providing a save sensible manufacturing environment.  When a person has to provide a photocopy of their driver's license to purchase a dropper bottle from one site because it is vape related while the same bottle on another site requires no proof of anything other than payment, there is a real problem with someone's thought process.
