DNA40 – The New Paradigm Those of you who may have been following my writings probably remember me saying, several times, that resistance just isn’t as important as it used to be. I have been pondering that and trying to figure out a way to explain it better. Then it dawned on me, with this...

OK NI200 wire. First, lets dispel the NR myth, there is NO SUCH THING as Non-resistance wire! ALL wire has resistance, even so called super-conductors cooled by liquid nitrogen have resistance. How much resistance is a property of the various materials. NI200 has a very very low resistance...

Capillary action and Flow are two different things. To test capillary action set the wick straight up in some juice and see how high the juice climbs on the wick within a given period of time. Here is a demonstration I did of the capillary action of AO wicks. (I need to do a vid of SS wicks in...

There are 3 main types of UCs: The small cheap units Small Commercial Units often used in Dental offices Large industrial units. "Ultrasonic cleaners come in 3 categories, 1 the small toy like systems that are sold by companies for cleaning contact lenses, etc. These are very light duty...

Ceramic Wicks 101 AO (Aluminum Oxide) Ceramic Wicks are the cleanest vape I have ever tried to date. They also have the advantage of NO shorts since the ceramic isn’t conductive. No more fiddling with your coil all of the time trying to get the hot spots out! :thumbs: Their biggest downside...
