It's been a while...

I joined this forum over six years ago when I quit cigarettes and started vaping, and it helped me enormously. I used to get all my vape juice from Mount Baker vapor, but then started buying from a local smoke shop, which has now discontinued the juice I vape (12mg tobacco).

My question is, can I get it online? I live in California. And if so, what kind of hoops do I need to jump through? Can anyone recommend a place?

Thanks

Bench Test Results: “Tesla NCR18650T1”- 10A 3400mAh 18650…best performing over-3000mAh 18650

These tests below only note my personal ESTIMATED ratings for the batteries I tested at the time I tested them. Any battery that is not a genuine Samsung, Sony, Murata, LG, Panasonic, Molicel, or Sanyo can change at any time! This is one of the hazards of using “rewrapped” or batteries from other manufacturers so carefully research any battery you are considering using before purchasing.

Misusing or mishandling lithium-ion batteries can pose a SERIOUS RISK of property damage, personal injury, or even death. They are not supposed to be used outside of a fully protected battery pack and you use them at your own risk. Never exceed the battery’s true continuous current rating and keep the plastic wrap and top insulating ring in perfect condition.

Testing batteries at their limits is dangerous and should never be attempted by anyone who has not thoroughly studied the dangers involved, understands the risks, has the proper equipment, and takes all appropriate safety precautions.

If the battery has only one current rating number, or if it only says "max", then I have to assume the battery is rated at that current level for any type of discharge, including continuous.

Test Results
Vapcell sent these in a generic wrap and calls them “Tesla NCR18650T1”, giving them a 10A 3400mAh rating. I do not know if that model number is accurate or if these cells are used in Teslas.

These cells are the best performing over-3000mAh cells I have tested, beating both the Sanyo NCR18650GA and Molicel M35A (by just a little) and the LG MJ1 (by a lot). I was hoping they would be great cells as they use much newer tech than those other top performers.

This cell features a bottom vent (in addition to the standard top vent) and has the same three-stripe bottom spot-weld mark that the Tesla 21700 does. I recommend not blocking, pressing on hard, or spot welding onto the bottom venting ring.

DO NOT ASSUME THAT ALL 18650’S WITH THESE THREE BOTTOM STRIPES ARE THIS CELL! You’ll need to examine them carefully with a magnifier, comparing them to these cells, and then test them to make sure they are the same.

The two cells I tested delivered 3485mAh and 3504mAh, meeting Vapcell’s 3400mAh rating.

There are no datasheets available AFAIK and I don’t know this cell’s true ratings but 10Α and 3400mAh seems reasonable. Like any Li-Ion round cell, you use this cell at your own risk.

My standard recommendation for any ultra-high capacity (over 3000mAh) 18650 is to not go over about 5A-7A if you want to use the extra capacity it offers. Much higher than that and the voltage sag will cause much shorter run time and “waste” that extra capacity.

Vapcell donated these cells for testing so contact them if you are interested (https://www.vapcelltech.com). Vapcell uses ”NCR18650T1” as the model number. I don’t know if any vendors have them in stock.

Is the Vaporesso GEN S Kit 220W with NRG-S Tank 8ml the best vape under $100?

My Geekvape vape broke when I was getting out of my car and it hit the ground and got smashed to pieces. So I'm looking to buy a new vape and am wondering if the Vaporesso GEN S Kit with the NRG-S tank is the best vape kit for under $100 considering taste, battery power and the juice capacity that it holds? I would love to hear your opinion on that and I'm wondering if cases are sold for vapes similar to the cases for cellphones where all of the buttons are accessible but the vape is protected.

Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit 4.jpg


► Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit; First impressions:
The first thing you notice is the tank in common with the Oxva Vativ Supermod kit just released: https: //www.e-cigarette-forum.com/threads/oxva-vativ-super-mod-100w-kit-5ml-review-by-frenkyou.970931/

I find the Unibox Mod truly fascinating, the factor form recalls the prestige of handcrafted creations, but it is also very similar to another Top Mod (Kroma-R), even the weight and dimensions are similar, however Oxva Unibox appears better finished. and it also offers IP68 features that make it waterproof, shockproof and dustproof! Furthermore, the circuit (self-produced) is richer in important functions and highly customizable than all its competitors.

Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit 5.jpg


► Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit; Points of view:
I received the specimen in Gold Blue color which is the most lively color among those available, in my opinion this and all the other color combinations that are proposed and combined with different decoration materials are all well done and give the user only spoiled for choice.

The front of Unibox Mod houses; the round-shaped and metal-textured Fire button, the fire button is located at the top.
The 0.96 "color display is the central element and is recessed with respect to the profile of the mod in a position protected from shocks, below we find the adjustment keys (+) and (-) always round in shape made of metal.

The back is made for maximum ergonomics and tactile pleasure, the rounded lines of the frame perfectly integrate the leatherette element (with a slightly rough texture to the touch) with elegant red stitching.

The side view of the Unibox Mod shows the surface with geometric reliefs and grooves, the panels are perfectly in tune with the front and with the bottom and rear of the mod. One of the panels bears the word "Unibox".

Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit 6.jpg


The top plate of the mod houses the stainless steel cup with 510 thread, the gold-plated pin is spring loaded. If desired, it is possible to install atomizers with a diameter up to 28mm and without protrusions on Unibox Mod. However, the particular conformation of the upper side of the Unibox allows to house atomizers with a variable diameter from 22 to 28mm always with a good aesthetic feedback.

The lower part of the mod is screwed to the frame by two French screws and includes the Type-C 5V / 2A charging socket protected by a solid silicone rubber that excludes infiltration of dust and liquids. In the center there is the stainless steel cap of the compartment / battery equipped with two vents and a lifting handle to screw it in / out. The negative pole symbol is not present on the inside of the cap, the positive pole is clearly marked on the bottom inside the mod.

Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit 7.jpg


OXVA Unione PnM (Pyrex Tube and Magnetic Connection) was introduced with Vativ Super Mod and is a new generation Subohm tank that combines the performance of a Subohm tank with the same convenience of a pod system, allowing you to change coils in seconds while enjoying the crystalline flavor that pyrex glass can guarantee. The 510 type drip tip is replaceable and a practical coin-shaped tool is provided to change the glass. The refill takes place from the bottom through a silicone rubber. The tank in question works very well in RDL / DL thanks to the double opposed AFC of generous dimensions (without rotation stops) and thanks also to the excellent and performing Uniplus Coils supplied. The Puff is smooth and quiet and condensation is minimal. However, in the kit I would have preferred a tank for MTL with more compact dimensions, especially in height. Not problems considering that on the Mod we can use any 510 tank with a diameter up to 28mm without protrusions.

► Unione PnM Tank; Features:
• Dimensions: φ24.5x53mm
• Weight: 65g
• Capacity: 4ML (straight glass), 5ML (bubble glass), 2ML (TPD version)
• Coil: Uniplus 0.15Ω Mesh (70-80W A1) and Uniplus 0.3Ω Mesh (35-40W A1)
• Material: Pyrex and SS glass

Oxva & Vapx Unibox PnM Kit 8.jpg


• Mesh Coil Uniplus: 0.3Ω (Best 35-40W):
The good reactivity of the Mesh allows an optimal vape already starting from 30W. With the AFC setting fully open you get a quiet Puff with a good aromatic release. The steam has a cool temperature, the best setting is with AFC open at 50%.
Going up with the Wattage naturally the performance increases, but the steam never gets hot as long as you don't close the air regulation too much. Liquid consumption, performance and amount of vapor are comparable to those of high performance RDL systems.

• Mesh Coil Uniplus: 0.15Ω (Best 70-80W):
Also in this case the good reactivity of the Mesh allows an optimal vape already starting from 50W, with the slot completely open you get a silent Puff with a good aromatic release. The steam has a moderately hot temperature. With AFC settings open to 50%, the aromatic yield increases and the steam takes on a warmer tone. Of course, I also tested this Uniplus coil at higher powers, even pushing it to 80W with AFC completely open. At 80W the power supply remains constant, reaching the highest peak of aromaticity with a consistent emission of dense and hot steam. In order not to stress the coil too much and for an "almost" acceptable consumption of the 18650 battery, I found my "best" at 60W with the AFC open at about 90%.

In conclusion, I find both Uniplus Coils contained in the package of excellent resistances and if the AFC is not closed too much, they will hardly overheat the tank. These resistances with their large size will certainly be lasting. Another positive aspect is the almost total absence of condensation, an advantage that already belonged to the excellent Unicoil always by Oxva.

INNOKIN KROMA 217 WITH Z-FORCE TANK REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

Once again I welcome you to another kit review from Innokin. Many of you have at least one or more versions in the famed Kroma family of mods and kits, today's review is on Innokins latest Kroma called the 217 because it takes a single 21700, 20700 or a single 18650 battery with the supplied 18650 adapter that happens to be magnetized for easier placement inside the device. I need to mention this is a wattage/voltage device only and has no TC power modes. Along with the Kroma 217 the kit includes the new Z- Force tank that uses a new coil technology called duo prime wicking, 2 pieces of mesh 1 on the inside and 1 on the outside are in this new coil technology. There's a lot to cover in my review but first lets get to know the newest Kroma 217 Kit with the new Z-Force Tank.

FIRST IMPESSIONS


First thing right off the bat I want to thank Innokin for sending a box of 0.2 and 0.3 ZF coils along with the kits. My first impression of these kits was WOW, both of them are gorgeous and I really think the dark chrome tops of the mods add to there high end appearance. I have always been a fan of the Kroma devices and use 2 in my personal rotation of devices and or kits, I think the 217 kit is the best in the Kroma line as of todays date.

The Mariana Blue with it's brilliant brushed metal look that is darkened to a gunmetal color and the Blue pattern of swirls blend well together leaving no fingerprints, the engraving of INNOKIN on one side and KROMA 217 on the other give the mod even more flair in a angled look .

The River Wood has a Stabilized Wood look and sits in contrast to a matt Black colored mod that is fingerprint free as well, patterns on both devices look good. These covers are not a spongy leather but rather a sticker that is smooth to the touch. I've become quite fond of a leather spine on mods but the stickers look nice. For a single 21700 device it's compact and not much larger than some single 18650 devices, though not a lightweight it's not heavy.

The Kroma 217 Kit ships with the 0.2Ω mesh coil pre-installed in the new Z-Force tank, it's a good idea to pull the coil out and prime it and after reinstalling in the tank, fill the tank and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to fully saturate the coil with juice. I noticed these ZF coils fit very snug in the tank further reducing seeping or leaking and with the automatic juice flow gate both of those issues are gone with the Z-Force tank.


20220110_125434.jpg



The Z-Force uses a gate as a juice flow control and it works very well closing off the juice flow when a coil is removed or absent in the tank, once the coil is installed the gate opens up allowing juice to flow to the coil. Having a juice flow control gate allows you to change a coil mess free with as much as a full tank of juice remaining in the tank. In the picture below the tank on the left has a ZF coil installed and you can clearly see the gate is open and the cotton of the coil is visible, the tank on the right has no coil in the tank and the gate is in the closed position waiting for a coil to be installed.

Airflows through 4 slots that don't have the traditional shape as most tanks do, you have infinite adjustment closing down the airflow control as much as you want. It starts to close the top side first then further adjustment after it's closed can be made to the 2 open slots. The Z-Force gives the user more than enough airflow wide open for a great DL vape and dialed down a bit it gives a great RDL vape, these new ZF coils produce very good flavor.


20220110_130407.jpg



Filling the Z-Force is a breeze with it's sliding top cap that has a arrow between 2 tiny silver screws, no need to look for the arrow just press outward between the screws. I don't know if that was their intension or not but it's a nice shortcut. If however your juice is in a 100ml bottle the drip tip will need to be removed before filling.

As many manufacturers are doing Innokin uses a filling membrane that acts like a one way valve allowing you to insert your bottle tip in and then sealing itself back in place when the juice bottle tip is removed, this fill method of using a sealing membrane works great. The drip tips are comfortable to use and having matching O-rings is another plus to the kit as well.


20220110_145818.jpg



Now that I've covered the Z-Force Tank it's time for the mod. Using a 21700 or 20700 battery the device has a maximum wattage output of 100w when using a 18650 battery with the supplied adapter it's maximum wattage output is 80w and the Kroma 217 also has the round robin feature. One very cool feature that I have never seen before is if you choose to use a 18650 battery the included adapter is magnetized and will hold the battery in place, correct polarity is marked with a + symbol on the end of the adapter.

Installing your battery is done via a battery door on the bottom of the device, an arrow on the door points you in the direction to slide it open, it has that same gunmetal color as the top of the device and is very reflective, those are not scratches on the door but a reflection of the wood it's laying on, 4 venting slots are also provided as a safety measure.


20220111_125243.jpg



The battery door has some movement and play to it without a battery installed but when a battery is installed it's solid, you have the press up a little when sliding the door shut. I used a Molicell P-42A 21700, Sanyo NCR 20700B and a LG HG2 battery in the testing of both devices, no battery rattle happened using any of the 3 batteries I mentioned.

Correct polarity in clearly marked with a Red plus symbol inside the battery tube, a minus symbol is on the battery door and can be easily seen but I wish it was highlighted in white. The 18650 battery adapters with their correct polarity plus symbol is also shown.

20220115_083931.jpg



The top of the Kroma 217 has that dark gunmetal chrome with the 510 plate being silver, not only do the cuts in the 510 plate look good but also serve a purpose making it able to be used with a atomizer that gets it's air supply from the 510. Being raised a tiny bit prevents scratches on the beautiful chrome top but don't crank your atomizer down because it's raised just a tiny bit.


20220116_144627.jpg





We now come to the front portion of the device that has only 2 adjustment buttons at the bottom above the type-c charge port. You probably guessed by now the Kroma 217 has stayed with the firebar as other versions of it have, all of my Kroma's fire bars work very well with minimum effort to press. The 217 works just as well, by placing the spine or firebar in the crook of your hand a simple squeeze is all that's needed to fire the device.

The display is bright and vivid and has the information well laid out on the screen, the devices lay out is listed below from left to right and from up to down.

USING THE KROMA 217 KIT


As many of you know I'm a big fan of all the devices in the Kroma family and I think the 217 is the best version so far coupled with the new Z-Force tank. The 217 has all the Kroma designs but takes a 21700 battery and gives you the option to use 20700 or 18650 batteries as well.

Firebar tension remains great and the bright and vivid display screen with font sizes that are easy to read add to the many pluses of the 217. I have been using both Kroma 217's for a couple of weeks and in that time I never experienced a problem with the device not firing reading Ohm's wrong or anything. I like the use of the power mode Coil+ and have been using it mainly in the testing of this kit, coil life seems to be improved. The refresh is another feature I have been using and seems to do a good job extending the lifespan of the coil.

There are little things on this device that can be overlooked of forgotten about, like that the battery bar changes colors depending on the strength of the battery, that feature didn't have to included but Innokin did include it. Another thing that's pretty neat is that the supplied 18650 battery adapter is magnetized to hold your battery in place. ( I LOVE THIS DEVICE )

Moving on to the new Z-Force Tank I again have to congratulate Innokin on a job well done. I like the different cut style of the airflow slots although this may be why fully open it may seem a bit loud to some but it's fine to me and a lot quieter than many other tanks.

Having a slider top cap really makes the refilling process quick and easy unless filling with a 100ml chubby Gorilla because you will need to remove the drip tip in order for the bottle tip to pass through the fill membrane. Another plus that I like is the 2 silver screws on the top cap, instead of looking for the arrow to know where to slide the top cap just slide it in between the silver screws. (SAVES YOU FROM LOOKING FOR THE ARROW).

Having a fill membrane is another plus on the Z-Force, you can rest assured this is a mess free tank because of it acting like a one way valve allowing liquid in but sealing back up preventing any juice from escaping.

A automatic juice flow gate that automatically closes when a coil is removed is another very big plus on the tank, how many times has it happened to you that you just fill the tank completely and take a couple of vapes and find the coil is burnt or flavor is now gone from it, with the juice flow gate just pull the old coil out a replace with a new one without having to drain the tank of juice. This is a big time saver and convenient as well.

The new ZF coils for the Z-Force tank have been very good and after a couple weeks of use have begun to decline in the flavor department. The new technology of having a inner and outer piece of mesh seems to be working well because I've chain vaped both the 0.2Ω and the 0.3Ω coil many times and the coil just keeps up with the wicking, I haven't received a dry hit from either coil yet.

Flavor is good on both coils but the warmth of the 0.2Ω is more my style of vape, using the 0.3Ω coil greatly improved battery life because less wattage was needed.

The 0.2Ω coil is rated for 50-80w and for me 65w hit my sweet spot, I felt that I didn't need anymore wattage to achieve better flavor.

The 0.3Ω coil is rated for 30-45w and on this coil I needed the maximum wattage of 45w to get the vape that I liked and battery life was improved as well.

I have not had a leak or weeping of juice from either coil or tank in the time that I have been using them. Both of them wick extremely well and produce very good flavor.

So in closing I highly recommend the Kroma 217 and Z-Force Tank, both can be purchased separately if you wish but getting them as a kit I feel you can't go wrong, this kit is a winner.

I would like to thank Anna and Innokin for providing both gorgeous kits for the purpose of this review, pick one of these kits up folks you will not be sorry!!

THANK YOU

EVE 18650 Cell Performance and Ratings Comparisons

Performance and ratings comparisons for the different EVE 18650’s I recently tested. As noted, the cycle life ratings are from the datasheet. I have not tested that. The 33V would probably be my pick of the four. It’s the best performer at 10A and lower but I recommend staying at under 7A for less voltage sag.

How Does an E-cigarette Work Without Coil?

E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices that work by heating e-liquid into an aerosol that users can inhale.


A typical e-cigarette has an atomizer with a small heating element that vaporizes e-liquid and wicking material that draws in liquid. At the heart of the atomizer is the coil. Its resistance wire and absorbent material allow it to heat the e-liquid into vapour. When activated, the resistance wire coil heats up and vaporizes the e-liquid, which users then inhale.


Can an e-cigarette work without a coil? The answer is yes; it works very well. Ultrasonic vaping technology makes e-cigarettes coil free. Surge, a new ultrasonic vaping brand, has developed an ultrasonic chip that vibrates at a super-high frequency of 3 million hits per second to split e-liquid into a cloud of vapour.

WechatIMG129.jpeg


Ultrasonic heating creates smaller particles that deliver nicotine content more efficiently for increased vaping satisfaction. This is particularly suitable for smokers who seek alternatives from traditional cigarettes.

WechatIMG240.jpeg


No wires are heated to produce vapour which prevents harmful dry hits and burnt taste. Vapour is created at a lower working temperature, producing fewer potential toxins and chemical by-products.

WechatIMG191.jpeg


Ultrasonic atomization technology is commonly used in the medical treatment. Now it is being introduced into the vaping industry. We eagerly await the market's feedback and inclusion of this technology into the vaping application.

Best regards,
Innokin team
