SteveF stop making me changing the list of wires I want. No scratch that. The wires I need! buy it all... hahaha except that mad rabbit/g-plat/haywire stuff. you can pick up most grades of stainless or nichrome 80 & 90 for 1\5th of the price. Got the mad Rabbit for a fiver and was running short of wire anyway so didn't hurt my pocket too much!

enjay will take a picture of the bag once I get back home today I would say that the bag colour is more teal then blue or green. It is their low resistance range one. decoy I started using SS and love how easily they ramp up. Makes me want to build massive coil with ridiculous surface area but till the rx200 arrives I have to restrain myself. What I did notice with SS though is the when you pulse it to eliminate hot spots and then get it to glow like crazy so it's oxidised the resistance can jump from 0.5 to 0.8. Once it all good to cape it usually stays at 0.55 so just slightly higher then initially. SteveF stop making me changing the list of wires I want. No scratch that. The wires I need!

I can only imagine the fun you had! What would be better for the core then? I am quite happy with the 26g mad Rabbit but this won't last too long as I noticed that SS likes to gunk easier than kanthal. Or it is the juices I am running through it :x

Well done naDiel , hours of fun? Seems to taste so much better when you have done all the hard work. To be honest naDiel even your RX will eat batteries using a 24g/26g clapton, far too much ramp-up time and no real gain in surface area. I found 32g/0.2mm and 34g/0.18mm plenty fine enough for most claptons, not quite as much surface area as 0.09mm but it creates more larger pockets to hold the juice. I have been holding the spools with a piece of pipe through the centre but I got a bit adventurous with my claptonising and knocked this up yesterday using a 60ml syringe. I still prefer to tension by hand but with a counter weight it can be left to hang and follow the twist...to a point. Its a work in progress. I'm sure I have a stainless oil jet somewhere in the shed to replace the plastic tip. 39g/0.09 is very fine, its the wrap on the wrap OK... Got confused here then On this build I have used 24g with nichrome to wrap it. Now I have used 26g mad Rabbit for the core wire and then nichrome (I THINK it was 0.11) to wrap it round that but if I am correct you are saying to go with even thinner core wire? That would be hours of fun when trying to make sure the spool doesn't unwrap itself!

2x26G wrapped with something like 36G all nichrome 80 makes nice coils, I do a 6 wrap 3.2mm diameter for the tanks which sits about 0.18 ohms, it means I don't use nearly as much power at a 100watts because it takes less voltage. Which mad rabbit? One is nichrome 90 and the other is 316 stainless steel. Not sure where to buy the N90 yet but the vape mesh company does the 316 but also the 317L which is a purer quality. And finally if you haven't already get yourself some ball bearing fishing swivels, join about 4 together and use them to hold the wire tight while wrapping. I think the ones I got are maybe black cat or something, pretty cheap off ebay. I have the Green variation and from research it only comes up as Blend of different SS wires. God know what that means but it vapes beautifully!

I got shown a trick by someone were you use an old protank coil to feed the wire Protank coils tend to go back after like 10cm's, so dropped that idea. Next (once I get more wire) I will be using some plastic clamps

So got round to build my own Clapton wire (again!) and... Finally got it right! Spec is 24 gauge kanthal and 32 gauge nichrome. Flavour gallore but destroys battery life on my mod... Until rx200 arrives Tomorrow I want to build using Mad Rabbit 26 gauge and same nichrome. Hopefully same flavour value but better battery life! To build I have used an old juice bottle with metal tip Safe to say if will be kept safe! Also done an experimental build of 24 gauge kanthal and double claptoned that with mad Rabbit 26 gauge... BARELY got it to fit into post holes on the Tsunami but it drained battery pulsing it Once I have the rolo in my hands will show it off

sydsut absolutely killed it so I'm going to tone it down a bit Waiting as of this morning for the rx200 from gearbest... Figured out that at £24.94 with British Priority shipping AND insurance I can't go wrong Now need to buy 3 new batts from ecoluxshop or torchy on payday I can recommend these batteries ecoluxshop at 3 for 15.59 delivered. Just what the RX200 needs. At this price it may be wise to buy 2 lots to keep one lot charged as a backup. I was thinking more about his LG HG2's for £17.69 for that little bit extra life

Got the tsunami not so long ago from one of the comps from EVS and I must say that as much as I loved velocity the tsunami outperforms it in my opinion. Although I wish they got the 24mm version out before I won the 22mm as it seems that I could have the bigger one... But probably will get it regardless. Build deck is big enough for some fancier coils but I can't really show anything off as don't have a device that would pull something beefier (well.. not yet anyway ). However I love the flavour more from Tsunami than from Velocity! And a 4mm diameter coil with 9 wraps of 26 gauge kanthal sits there like it is at home...

Went to Vaper Expo in NEC earlier this May.
After potting about for a bit came across the booth with those guys.
This one was the last one I have tried and fell in love with it from the first Vape (not to mention that have had to buy some!). The main flavour is rhubarb but it is that kind of sweetly - sour taste that makes you contemplate is it more sweet or more sour.
That doesn't matter as it is literally on point!
Then you exhale and can taste that sweet undertone of custard and vanilla.
And suddenly without even noticing why, you realize that if you don't take another puff you will loose that awesome taste in your mouth.
I would say that this review can be called 'Childhood memories!' only because vaping this juice reminds me of my Nan and her own home baked rhubarb, yeast and custard cake. The taste of happy and careless childhood years and that special Sunday afternoons at my Nan when she would go through the effort of making me my favourite dinner followed by my favourite cake.
On this note I can safely say that I will be buying more of it as soon as the bottle is gone!
