No idea myself but having used a few named brands I've gone back to the regular Jap pads from the vape mesh company, the stuffs fantastic. I usually run the tfv8 at a 150watts with a 0.3 build. Flavour is banging. I've had a 0.2 at 200watts in the vcmt using that cotton too, wicks great, tastes great.

Are we talking regulated or mech? Regulated RX, isticks etc,there's loads it'd fit easily with various wattage options.
For mech mods then the vaperzcloud X1 is 24mm, there was a 25mm VCM but not sure if it's still available.

One of the isticks would be good, lady has the 60 watt one and I have to say I'm pretty impressed by it. Small form,takes a single 18650 and never messes up, just works flawless.
Just checked, my 25mm vcmt fits well with room to spare!

With the ladies coolfire 4 plus if you get a bit of juice in the 510 or a bad connection it can read the ohms wrong and ups the voltage to compensate. This makes it act a bit wild and lively lol.
As long as it's all clean though with good connections etc then it runs sweet up to full power with a 0.2 build and nothing gets crazy hot.

The ladies coolfire 4 plus decided to pack up, wouldn't charge or anything, I decided to open it up for a look. The original battery pack was a pair of lipos, they were totally bloated so the problem was obvious. I chopped the wires and chucked the battery outside lol. I then added a piece of wire to extend the positive wire and hooked up an 18650 which worked perfect. So I went to nkon.nl for a battery with tabs, got a samsung 30Q, 3000mAh, plenty of life per charge. So first thing was to replace the positive wire with a longer piece, had to drill the old one out as the solder just wouldn't play ball. Then I chopped the wire to a suitable length and soldered the negative and positive to the tabs After that I wrapped both ends with insulating tape, don't want any unwanted shorting going on. I also used some double sided sticky padding to take up space and help with any knocks etc, put a nice piece on top, slid the whole thing together then another piece on the bottom. And tada One working mod again. Happy days with a nice simple repair.

It seems to be but worst comes to worst I'll have to buy another screen. I'm just pleases to be finished lol There's something to be said for a nice square shaped box with lots of room A nice box with just enough room + a little spare is my preference lol You got a 5000mAh lipo in there?!

I've got an rx200 or Primus so no worries there, and will have my DNA200 as soon as the board is fixed and back from evolv. Geez that takes like FOREVER! Lol or certainly feels like it. That one I stuck in the RX was dicky first time and had to send it back. I wish we could just do a warranty through mod maker or something.

Ideally need something like an RX200 or lipo mod for the wattage when you start going higher.
I use the RX DNA200 triple battery or DNA200 lipo box for it.

I run one with a 0.28 fused clapton build at 155watts and love it! The flavour is awesome, better than stock coils.
Still use my kfl+ mostly though for the pure convenience and juice saving.
12mg in the kfl+ and 3mg in the tfv8, treat it more like a dripper.

I think next time I'll just hit myself on the knees with a hammer! Friend on FB had a ruined RX that no longer worked, turned out the 510 was pretty minced too. I thought why not give it a go, the board is only £60 or so from modmaker uk anyway. Obviously stripped the paint off, polished it up then gave the parts a dose of lacquer (which has taken a bit of abuse lol) Drilled out the 510 then had to mod a fair chunk inside and out to get the fat daddy 510 just right. Buttons all need sanded down to make them thinner too as the dna switches sit higher. Used a dremmel type tool and cutting disc for the screen opening then finished with needle files. When you peel off the plastic screen protector off the RX it reveals the perfect indent to cut out for the dna screen. Battery tray was also slightly modded, up top to make extra space for the 510, turns out there's really not a lot of room in there lol Anyway bottom line is it works but would I do it again? NO!

You're still on kanthal!!! Seriously though, flavour is WAY more with nichrome and can be better with claptons, it's all about that extra surface area and also they tend to soak up even more juice into the coils themselves which really helps. I use fused claptons exclusively in the vcmt's Each to their own enjay . Personally I don't need to stick something like fence wire in my tank to get a satisfying vape. So I'll just stick to 0.4-0.5mm Kanthal and continue faff free vaping. Didn't say anything about fencewire, I use 26G and 36G for the fused claptons and 26G in the kfl+, just get better flavour.

In my experience mikedidthis , claptons, tiger coils, twisted this, fused that, twin parallel the next thing ain't for me. I've never gained any advantage in flavour or vapour (which doesn't bother me) over a plain old kanthal coil. IMO, the poor reward just isn't worth the effort with some of them fancy builds.
