1. Where can we get your coils?
My coils we be available though a couple websites for the initial release but I'm hoping to branch out to vape shops around the country, even throughout Europe!
2. Where do you frequent and how can we get a build from you?
I try to make it out to most expos on the West coast. Sometimes that is a hard task. I know there are a couple coming up soon and I'll most likely be with Anarchist doing builds on the spot.
3. How did you get into coil building?
I guess it all started when a buddy of mine showed me an RDA about two years ago. At the time, I was vaping for about 2 1/2 years already using an Ego Twist and those old school Kanger tanks haha. When he showed me that you could build your own coils while blowing huge clouds I was instantly hooked!
4. You have taken it beyond just making coils and transitioned it into your art; does it perform as beautiful as it look?
Oh for sure! In the beginning it was just plain round wire builds just to get me through the week. Once I found the Instagram world of coil building it was game on. Seeing @Twistedmesses, @Squidoode, @Ohmboyoc, and @blueeyedgoon83 wrap wire was a huge inspiration to take it further with the more intricate builds. And yes, these types of coils perform amazing. All the different gauges of wire bring out different flavor notes in whatever e-liquid you're using. All the cracks and crevasses soak it all up and release vapor at different heat levels.
5. What inspires you?
Seeing the faces of people who get to vape on my coils. Making the experience of quiting cigarettes enjoyable. Those are the two main inspirations. Hearing people say "Wow. That's amazing". It's also fun for me and I love doing it, and that's huge.
6. Whats your favorite(s) decks to build on and why?
At the moment I would say the Petri v2 RDA from Dotmod, Goon RDA from 528 customs and the TM² RDA from Twistedmesses are my go to decks. All 3 are extremely easy to build on. But all 3 are different deck styles. The Petri is a 2 post, the Goon is a clamp style post and the Twistedmesses is a 4 post. I'd say I rotate those decks quite often.
7. What did you do before getting into the vape industry?
I was and still am a chef. Just another love of mine!
8. Whats your go to build?
Go to build is a framed staple. 6x .4N80/2x 28gTMN80/40gTMN80. Quick ramp time and a hot, dense vape.
9. Tips for aspiring builders?
Don't ever give up! I know the feeling but you got to keep trying. It's easy to say fuck it and just do a regular round build but in the end it will all pay off. Oh yeah, and use swivles. Haha
