Thanks for organizing for us 
Great work, thank you. 0.8 ohms is my go to resistance for the BB atties and OL16s.@Andre, @antonherbst, @BioHAZarD, @Constantbester, @DracesBane, @Halfdaft Customs, @Mac75, @RenaldoRheeder, @Silver, @UzziTherion
and @Flava (because I said I would tag you)
My first build with the VandyVape Superfine MTL wire (30x2+38 Ni80)
BB ready for a rebuild now that the new wire has arrived!
Everything taken apart and cleaned
2.5mm ID coil, 6 wraps
Glowing nicely!
Cotton nicely fluffed up
Exo has been capped
Fluff has been trimmed
Trimmed fluff blown
Reassembled
Filled up and ready
0.82Ω @ 20W
Isn't she something?!
And we are done!
Wow! This is the wire that I have been looking for
Absolutely spot on for the BB. I'm sure it is going to be fantastic in the Skyline as well.
Easy to work with and builds to a nice resistance in a very confined space.
The vape is FANTASTIC!
I can definitely recommend this wire to anyone looking to build in a similar range
@RenaldoRheeder , Will have to keep my eyes open in the classifieds then, still just looking at this stage, but with the feedback from people using it something I may have to dabble with going forward. Maybe I could get to like it as much as the BB Bunch on the forum and just maybe the Xmas budget can be raised a bit for something really special.This morning's pit stop with my BBs. Probably their second last before they get ready for the Classifieds in December. A very short stay with me, but convincing enough that they will be replaced with the genuine ones from the earlier post from @TheV

You’ve got to send me some of that wire to try

Time to rewick the Skyline. Going to try Royal Wick for the first time.
Got some from Sir Vape when I was in Durbs.
@Rob Fisher Tagging you

Currently running a very similar build, thanks to you and and @RenaldoRheeder, in my sxk Exocet and wow, it is amazing, it’s a bit tricky wrapping as it’s so soft but the flavour is in a class of its own!

Glad to hear that you are enjoying it in the BB. It is soft wire but I find it workable still.
I did the Skyline and Entheon today:
Both 8 wrap 2.5mm 1ohm @ 20W ... fantastic vapes
@Silver, would you mind describing your wicking technique for the Skyline, if it is not too much trouble?Royal Wick is in the Skyline.
I like the way the Royal Wick feels. Quite easy to work with.
Wicking done and tank filled with my LIT Sidechick. Lovely juice I have been enjoying recently.
Wick seems good. Nice flavour. Will continue with it and see how it develops.

All clean and sundried.
PG and earbud to lube the O-Rings. Royal Wick ready as is the XXX and the wicking tools.
Royal Wicks done just waiting for the hairdresser!
Wicks trimmed and thinned. Tight in the coil with much less for the tails.
All done... two left without juice so when I need a fresh vape I can fill and go... Vapor Giant and Gold Skyline ready for action!

@Rob Fisher , i like how you wick and leave two empty

Would help me to carry on when i dont have time for a pitstop

Bliss and O-Genny V2 done as well. Installed a Fused Clapton this time and the flavour is on point! 0.61Ω
Big time Hi Ho @Silver! I do that with my BB's as well and always have 2 or 3 empty Boro's fully coiled and wicked and ready for juice standing by!
Fresh set of fused claptons in the OG Goon thanx to Mr Coilsmit, if you are in to real exotic coils,find this man and give him a shout!

Pit stop coming up
Reo Mini needs a new wick, batt and fill up. The purple Efests are doing well. This bottle I vaped right to the last drop and the battery has held up very nicely.
Siren V2 needs a refill. Havana Nightz. Still not perfectly happy with the vape but am going to do another tank because I don't feel like recoiling.
Keeping me company while pitstopping is @Tanja 's Peanut Butter Ice Cream in the Petri
BB and Skyline in the background looking on and a bit upset they not being used or attended to. Hehe

Missile Mini aka 'Scud' is done
Oh my it's glorious. I adjusted the mix slightly. 3 drops less menthol and a touch more Sunshine Cured Tobacco. Blend is about 22-24mg.
This just rocks big time! For those moments when you need a strong punch. Perfect.
Amazing what the juice can do on a simple coil and small battery

Siren V2 filled. That was quick!
It's got good flavour and I'm happy but it's not a flavour machine like the little Mini.
Still amazed at how quiet this Siren V2 is. I still sometimes think the mod is off when I fire it. Lol.

Pitstop tonight is my trusty SubTank Mini
The coil had been running in here since Sep17. But only about 40ml of juice through it. Normally I'd get more than that but this coil was tired and gunked up.
So out with the precision coiling equipment.
Here is my masterpiece. If you look closely you will see it's actually a quad core 30g claptoned with 40g SS. It's such a good job that you can't easily see it unless you look really close:
Hehe, only kidding - that was for @Christos. This is a simple 28g 2mm ID 8 wrapper. Came out at 1.3 ohms. Am happy, it came out neatly.
Next is making it glow and then strumming and snooker cue. And then wicking with Rayon because this wick shines for me with fruity menthols.
Bunny ears:
Snip those ears, position the wicks and lube up:
And voila ! The SubTank Mini is making a great vape again. Got undressed for the photo shoot. Off with the tank band and mod sleeve. This istick50 is the perfect driver for this tank for me. Perfect handfit, great battery life and reliable.
This tank is an incredible tank. It's never leaked and has performed flawlessly for a few years! A pleasure to coil and wick. Good flavour for low power restricted lung hits on fruity menthols.
It's my car vape and highly trusted out and abouter.
Love it to bits.

Major pit stop done on my MaTo squonker, Flave 22 ti, Dee Mods squonk bottles and DA ONE refill bottle. Major OCD strikes again, stripped everything bare to the bone, ultrasonic clean with soapy water, rinse under clean water, left to air dry and a new coil and wick installed. Build was a little too hot for my liking so I removed the staged wire and kept only the 5 core alien and removed a wrap. Very very pleased with it.
