TEA FIBER COTTON





CONSTANT FLAVOR





UNWRAPPING AND FIRST IMPRESSIONS


The devices are housed in a sealed plastic tube with a rubber end cap top & bottom, ingredients, specification and flavor inside the device in printed on a plastic wrap covering the tube, The plastic wrapping can be removed and the container tube that the came in can be reused for storing other vape gear such as coils or whatever fits inside. the 3 flavors I received are Apple Pie, Peach Ice and Watermelon.




Empty tube in the center, use it for storage of something ( coils, cotton, etc. ) Get creative!




Before using the device a small protective sicker saying PEEL covering the airflow inlet must be removed, there are no buttons as the device is auto-draw only that is a semi-loose draw, more tight than loose.





The other end of the device Is the mouthpiece that has a bullet shape to it, and also has protection of accidental vape that has to be removed, a small clear rubber plug is inserted into the mouthpiece opening and needs to be removed by just pulling out.





The auto-draw works very well and is a semi-loose one, The Friobar 500 fires pretty quick with no delay, flavor comes through immediately and gets better with each vape until the 3th or 4th vape as it starts to mute.

Letting the device sit idle for a minute or so after it comes right back.

I didn't think the mouthpiece would be a good performer although the bullet shape looks good, but it is comfortable with the right sized bore diameter. The bottom must be unobstructed because of the airflow inlet.

The Bottom also has a Red LED that lights up when you vape but goes out very quickly after you stop the vape, when the device is either out of juice or the battery is depleted the Red light begins to flash letting you know it's time to discard it.








FLAVORS SENT TO ME


APPLE PIE

The Apple Pie flavor that comes through is of a candy apple rather than a real Apple and although not mentioned in the description or printed on the packaging this really a Apple Ice flavor.

On the first draw you get a light candied Apple and menthol taste, the 2nd quick vape some pie crust comes through and the menthol ice begins to ramp up more, on your 3rd vape it hit's the peek of flavor and flavor begins to mute. I recommend only 3 vapes then let the device sit idle for a minute or so and the flavor will rebound for another session of vapes.


PEACH ICE

The Peach Ice flavor does actually taste like a Peach with very little Ice flavor although not as sweet and powerful as I thought it would be. The light flavor of this one is actually better than the Apple Pie in my opinion.

The same intensity drop happens as it does with the Apple Pie after the 3rd vape and rebounds back with flavor after paused for 1 minute or 2.


WATERMELON

Out of the 3 flavors the Watermelon has the most flavor to it, even unwrapping the package you could smell the Watermelon coming through. This also has a Ice flavoring blended in as all 3 of these do.

Watermelon is not a flavor that I gravitate to normally but this one is the best out of the trio of flavors that I tested. The Watermelon flavor is very good and it's probably because it has smaller amounts of Ice than the others.

With the Watermelon it's threshold is 5 vapes before starting to loose flavor and just like the Apple Pie and Peach Ice after some Idle time the flavor pops right back.


FINAL THOUGHTS

I really liked the Watermelon because it had a taste of real Watermelon and not a candied one, however the Ice although being refreshing to some didn't go well for my taste buds but I don't care for a menthol or Ice vape.

All 3 have Ice included in the flavoring but only the Peach states that on it's label. Being a salt vape 3 vapes should do you for a quick Nic hit so waiting a minute or so for the flavor to return is not to bad I guess.


I would like to thank Tina and Freemax for providing the 3 Friobar 500 disposable vape devices for the purpose of this review.

THANK YOU

The best ejuice I've had was Caramel Cappuccino from Heather's Heavenly Vapes. Since they closed, I cannot find another ejuice that's similar. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hellvape Helheim S RDTA Review By Frenkyou.

► Hellvape Helheim S RDTA; First impressions:
The Hellvape Helheim S RDTA tank was born with the collaboration of the "FIVE" team, a group of German enthusiasts, the system was developed to obtain excellent DL and RDL performance with a double adjustable air flow. The overall design of this atomizer is captivating with its metal grid to protect the glass.



Helheim is probably inspired in Design by the ancient knights of northern Europe ... The maximum diameter of Hellheim S RDTA is only 25mm and can be effectively accommodated on medium / small mods but also on some SBS Mods. The very elongated shape of Helheim S RDTA (about 60mm) led me to find its natural location on one of my favorite SBS Mods, in fact even Brunhilde Mod has a Germanic influence in its design (coincidentally), I would say an excellent combination aesthetic / functional.



► Hellvape Helheim S RDTA; How it's done:
Helheim S RDTA is made entirely of stainless steel and is immediately very robust when handled. The weight of 77g confirms this feeling.
The glass protected by the grille offers excellent visual control of the internal liquid level. From the outside through the glass you can also see the 4 intertwined metal cables for the transfer of the eliquid to the coil.
Positioned above the glass we find the RDA part of Helheim characterized by a double AFC system and a low and rather wide 810 type Drip Tip.
The upper Cap is well finished with laser engravings.

Authentic Oumier Wasp Nano RDA V2 Vape Atomizercontinues the transparent top cover design of Wasp Nano, and the dripper part can bring you a more comfortable touch. The new double-sided four-slot airflow system provides a powerful air intake system and airflow experience.

Hello. Have a question I couldn't find online. Im into preparedness and Im interested in alternative ways to consume E liquid, notably without electricity. I know consuming the liquid by mouth is a death sentence so that's a no go..

I was thinking if you had a glass pipe with an oil rig set-up and a blowtorch is it possible to vaporize the liquid that way? If you measured out a small safe amount? Otherwise is there another way to heat the liquid, maybe in a freebase fashion, and consume the liquid that way?

Prefer to continue to vape using the juice I have, rather than smoke, in the hypothetical case of a long term grid-down scenario. Im aware solar power is an option to charge batteries ect. and that will be my go-to. However if all my mods break Im wondering if there's any way to use the eliquid.

Yea it's been 12 years on here and 13 years of vaping. Ten of them years in my mind never would have happened if I continued with the "cowboy killers". While back then I was mixing over 36% nicotine and today I'm at 1.8% and may do 1.5 next week. I guess I'm more addicted to the additive and flavor now. I don't know why we have to battle so much for our rights, clearly this an better alternative than any nicotine product on the market. Yet we still have to fight the government and big tobacco, wanting take your tax dollars and to steal your health. I don't know if I'll still be vaping next year, I've on and off the wagon trying to kick the nicotine all this year. So if I fade away, I'll still be thinking of and supporting you in your journey. Happy Holidays, Rob

Here are my recommendations based on the results of my testing:



Choose the power level closest to where you will use your cells and then see which cells performed best for me. There aren’t huge differences between them all and when there are two cells for my #1, #2, or #3 choice it means they performed essentially the same as each other, choose either one.

These are merely my personal choices and there are no guarantees that these cells will perform for you the way they did for me. If you want to know about other cells I have tested check out my ratings tables:

I hope to have some updated 18650 recommendations soon.

This thread is for the general discussion of the Product VECEE V4 Disposable Vape. Please add to the discussion here.

Hello and thank you for joining me for yet another review for one of the more recent companies I have started doing reviews for which is Hellvape. I have to admit that I’m a little late to the game with Hellvape. My first product from them was the Vertex MTL RTA. Very good flavor and performance from that one. However, I’m here today after being impressed time and again by the tanks from them that I have been fortunate enough to provide reviews for. Today I’ll be doing my best to give a fair and honest review on the new Hellvape Helheim RDTA. This one is not to be confused with the Helheim S which uses cables for wicking. The new Helheim I am covering has no cables but is an RDTA. I have had it for a couple weeks now and using it some every day. The Helheim is 25mm at the base so will fit comfortably on many mods and has a 4.5ml liquid capacity. Let’s take a look at some factory images and I’ll give my thoughts on it.






WHAT’S IN THE BOX?






SPECIFICATIONS:




FEATURES:

1. 25mm diameter RDTA

2. Dual airflow system brings the various flavor experiences and huge clouds

3. Larger and open base for easy dual coil building

4. 4.5ml capacity, convenient to refill from the deck

5. Perfectly match your squonk mod with the BF pin











INITIAL THOUGHTS:

I had high hopes for this rdta after having good experiences with each Hellvape tank that I have reviewed. I wish I had discovered how good their tanks are sooner. Right now I will just say that I was not disappointed.

The packaging for the Helheim is what I have come to expect from Hellvape. Simple but nice and of course a red box. On the front is simply the name of the tank and on the back are features listed, a contents list, and Hellvape’s company information.





The Helheim uses an 810 drip tip and the o ring is in the top cap rather than being on the drip tip. I’ve seen reviews where people tend to prefer this setup but I honestly don’t really know why it makes a difference.



It is kind of funny now but when I received the Helheim, it hadn’t been released yet but the Helheim S had been so I was looking for the wicking cables. After taking the tank apart I discovered that there’s no way it could use cables. I guess it would have been easier to just look at the user manual. The tank can be taken completely apart for cleaning which I did when I received it. I’ve gotten in a habit of always cleaning new tanks in case there’s any machining oil or residue left inside. It doesn’t take much to make the first tank of liquid taste bad. After cleaning the tank, I lubricated the outer o ring that the top cap slides over to make it a little easier to take off and put back on since you have to remove the top cap to fill the tank.



I found the deck rather interesting. It’s a post less deck so you have to cut your coils to length before installing them. There is a hole on each end of the deck to allow airflow intake and a series of two rows of holes below where the coils sit to allow the airflow to come under the deck and up over the coils. The grub screws used take a flat head screwdriver to loosen and tighten and I had no issues with them. The threads were very smooth. The 510 center pin is removable and included with the tank is a long squonk pin so you can use this rdta with a squonk mod. I’ve been meaning to try it with a squonk mod but haven’t yet. I think I’ll like it better that way since I seem to go through liquid pretty quickly on this tank.





As you can see in the picture below, I went with a single coil. I had no doubt that the tank would be good with dual coils but I often prefer single coils and wanted to see how it would perform with just one. I was not disappointed. The Helheim provided one of the most dense and saturated vapes that I have ever had from a single coil tank. I’ve run tank after tank of liquid through it and am very happy with the flavor and vapor production I got from it while running it at 32 watts with one of the included coils. I wasn’t sure which way was best so I cut the tails a little long on the cotton and tucked them into the holes to stick down a little way into the tank. I had zero issues with dry hits. The cotton stayed fully saturated the entire time until the tank was nearly empty.



The bottom portion of the top cap has two metal pins molded into it that align with the two holes in the base where you fill the tank. So when you remove the cap to refill then you have to align the pins with the holes while pushing the cap back on. I did have a little trouble at first putting the cap back on but quickly got used to it.



The top cap has two types of airflow adjustment. The lower is of course a bottom airflow while the upper is a top airflow adjustment. I initially tried it with both open some and then one open while the other was closed. I felt like I got the best flavor with the top airflow closed and the bottom airflow control halfway open with the single coil I was running. However, while keeping the top airflow closed I did seem to get a lot of condensation seeping around the closed holes and had to wipe it on the outside occasionally. However, this could partially be due to me having my coil as high as it was.



FINAL THOUGHTS:

The Helheim RDTA has been a real pleasure to test. I don’t have much experience with RDTA tanks besides one other that I have purchased. To have a tank that can use single or dual coils and still produce phenomenal flavor is a definite bonus in my book. There are plenty of dual coil tanks out there that produce good flavor but they tend to not be as good with a single coil configuration. This tank produces some of the most dense and saturated flavor and vapor that I have ever had from a single coil tank.

Besides delivering great flavor, I think it’s great that a squonk pin is included with the tank and at some point I plan on moving it from my Arez 120 to a squonk mod. That way I can just squonk to fill the tank when I need to instead of having to remove the top cap every time and align the pins when reinstalling it.

The two different airflow controls will be a big bonus for those that like big airflow. I was able to get the airflow as tight or loose as I wanted and could even do an RDL with the right coil. I would probably go with a coil with a little higher resistance than what came with the tank for doing RDL because I like RDL in the 22-27 watt range. I had plenty of airflow with the included coil with the bottom airflow half open and the top closed. With both open partially it was more airflow than I needed for a single coil configuration.

The only complaints I have on this tank are the condensation I was getting built up at the top airflow holes when closed and wish it had a larger liquid capacity with as fast as I was emptying the tank. I guess that’s the tradeoff for getting such great saturated flavor. However, as I mentioned, that’s where the squonk pin will come into play.

Overall I think the Hellvape Helheim RDTA is a fantastic tank and would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a tank that is truly a flavor banger. Whether you choose to run it on a standard mod or a squonk mod, this one is a winner for sure.

I’d like to thank Hellvape and Mindy for sending the Hellvape Helheim RDTA for this review and also a big thank you to those that made it to the end of my review. Below is a link to the Hellvape website if you would like to see what they have to offer.

So often I see that this is the only rating looked at when deciding which cell to buy. I can understand why because it seems that the larger this number is the less often we have to charge…a good thing. But like so many things involving Li-ion cells, it’s not that simple.

Capacity is a rating that essentially tells us the size of a cell’s “gas tank”. It’s how much charge the cell stores and it is expressed in milliampere-hours (mAh) or ampere-hours (Ah). One thousand mAh is the same as one Ah. The rating tells us theoretically how many milliamps we can draw from the cell and for how long.

For example, a cell with a 3000mAh capacity rating can be discharged at 3000mA for 1 hour. When you multiply 3000mA by 1 hour you get 3000mAh. But that also means if we discharge the cell at 1500mA the cell should run for 2 hours since 1500mA x 2h = 3000mAh.

You can also go the other way. If we discharge the cell at 6000mA (6A) then it will theoretically run for 1/2h since 6000mA x 0.5h = 3000mAh. But there are things that affect how accurate this is when discharging at above 1A or so. I will address that later on in this post.

There are two main capacity ratings for the big manufacturers, Minimum and Nominal (or Typical). Minimum is just what it sounds like, the lowest capacity that any cell for that model number should have.

The Nominal or Typical rating is what most of the cells for that model number will typically test out to if they are not old and were not stored badly. This number is always higher than the Minimum rating. For example, most 3000mAh minimum rated 18650’s from the big manufacturers test out near to 3100mAh.

The cell wrapping/rewrapping companies like Vapcell, Efest, etc., usually only have one capacity rating and they often use the Typical rating on their wraps. For example, a 3000mAh-rated cell from Samsung would be rewrapped with 3100mAh or 3200mAh on the wrap. A 3000mAh-rated cell from one of the China manufacturers would probably be given a 3000mAh rating on the wrap since the cell often only has a Typical rating.

Some wrapping/rewrapping companies are better than others with this and use accurate ratings. Some inflate the capacity rating a bit (rounding up to 3200mAh for 3000mAh minimum-rated 18650’s, for example) to try to get more sales.

There can be a problem with these ratings though…they are all measured using a very slow discharge, typically at or under 1A. The standard is to use a discharge level equal to 1/5th of the capacity rating number. For example, a 3000mAh cell would have its capacity measured using a discharge rate of 3000 / 5 = 600mA. A cell with a 5000mAh capacity rating would have been tested at 5000 / 5 = 1000mA = 1A.

At lower power levels the capacity rating can be used to get a decent estimate of how the run times of two cells might compare. But as the power levels increase the capacity rating becomes less and less useful. Here’s why…

The internal resistance of a cell causes its voltage to drop down, “voltage sag”, when it’s used. Higher capacity cells typically have a higher internal resistance which means their voltage will sag down more.

This is different from the slow voltage drop we see as a cell is discharged down. Voltage sag is instantaneous and temporary, it only happens during the discharge. When the current stops flowing the cell’s voltage bounces back up to its true “resting voltage”, determined by how much charge is left in the cell.

As the power level increases, this voltage sag gets worse and worse. The higher capacity cells will sag more and at lower power levels than most lower capacity, high performance cells. This means that at higher power levels a good 2500mAh-2600mAh cell like the Molicel P26A or Murata VTC5A can actually run for longer than high capacity 3000mAh cells like the Samsung 30Q or Murata VTC6 when above 15A or so.

You can use the true continuous current rating to judge which cells might be fairly close in performance so you can directly compare their capacity. You can compare the capacity of two 25A cells but comparing the capacities of a 5A and 35A cell at anything over 3A-5A or so would be pointless.

If the current ratings of two cells you are comparing are very different then do not compare them at anything much over about 75% of the lower current rated cell. For example, the 35A-rated, 3000mAh Samsung 30T will run for much, MUCH longer than any 3500mAh, 5A rated cell if you are discharging them at much over 3A-5A or so.

But if you are using them at 1A or 2A (flashlight, toy, fan, powerbank, etc.) then there will be very little voltage sag in the 3500mAh cell and you can use all its extra capacity. It will run for longer than the high performance, but lower capacity, 3000mAh cell in the example above. The extra performance of the Samsung 30T is just not used, or needed, in this example.

So while we we can use capacity ratings to get a rough idea of how two cells might compare we need to be careful not to trust those ratings to be helpful at higher power levels. Choose cells based on their current ratings first and only then compare their capacities.

The various hobbyist/enthusiast communities constantly debate cell ratings and what they mean when choosing a good cell for our use. But there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

What do the ratings for a cell actually tell us? How can we use them to choose a good cell? This series of posts are my personal opinions on all of these ratings and how to best use them.

The ratings I’ll discuss are Voltage, Capacity, Wh (Energy), Charge Current, Discharge Current, Temperature, and Cycle Life.

Voltage
How can this be something that’s debated? The basic ratings aren’t but when to stop charging and discharging has been the subject of many an argument. First, the basics.

The “standard” Li-Ion cells we use are rated for use at 2.5V to 4.2V. There are a couple rated down to 2.0V and a couple that stop at 2.75V but these are rarely used. If you are unsure of the voltage ratings for your cells check for a datasheet online.

There are also a few “HV” (high voltage) LiPo cells that can be charged to 4.35V. But be careful, some LiPo HV cells might just be 4.2V-rated cells that the seller or LiPo pack assembler decided to call HV cells to increase profits. Charging these mis-labeled 4.2V cells at 4.35V will damage them and can eventually make them dangerous to use.

Standard Li-Ion cells can be brought down to 2.5V every time you use them without extra damage. This is their rating and how long the manufacturer says they will last, their “cycle life”, is based on bringing them this low.

LiPo” cells are another type of Li-Ion cell but are typically not used at below 3.0V and often not below αround 3.5V. Good LiPo’s are very high performance cells but they are delicate, both electrically and physically.

LiFePO4 (or LFP) cells are another type of Li-Ion cell but with lower voltage ratings due to their different “chemistry”. They are extremely durable with a longer cycle life and use a safer chemistry that standard Li-Ion or LiPo cells. It can vary a little but LiFePO4 cells are typically rated from 2.0V to 3.6V. Never charge one to 4.2V! It might not burst but it will be damaged.

There are other Li-Ion chemistries with different voltage ranges but they are rarely used by the various hobbyist/enthusiast communities.

So what gets debated? What voltage to charge and discharge to.

What voltage you charge to affects the overall life of the cell, its “cycle life”. This is how many times you can cycle the cell from 4.2V to 2.5V and back to 4.2V again. If you only removed 1/2 of the capacity and then recharged that would count as 1/2 of a cycle.

Do not make the same mistake so many others do! For a full cycle the discharge/recharge must be equal to the capacity of the pack. You cannot say that five uses down to 3.6V and back up to 4.2V are five cycles. That would be the equivalent of only about 2.5 cycles.

The lower the charging voltage is the longer the cell’s overall life (if not otherwise abused). A cell charged to 4.1V each time will run for more cycles than a cell charged to 4.2V every time. A cell charged to 4.0V will last even longer (overall) than one charged to 4.1V, and so on.

But charging to a lower voltage means there is less charge in the cell so it won’t run for as long. You might lose about 10% capacity charging to 4.1V instead of 4.2V but that can extend the overall life of the cell a lot. Charging to only 4.0V can significantly extend the life of a cell.

Some of the debates are about whether the loss of capacity (run time) is worth the gain in cycle life when charging to lower voltages. It’s not really worth debating IMO since it’s just a personal decision. If cycle life is the priority you might want to consider charging to a lower voltage. If run time is the priority then you will want to charge to 4.2V at a slow rate to make sure you cram in as much charge as possible. Do not charge any Li-Ion cell above 4.20V though unless you are absolutely sure it’s a true high-voltage 4.35V cell.

There are a LOT of debates on how far down you should discharge a cell. Some would argue that you should never go below 3.6V. Others say you can go down to 2.5V with standard Li-Ion cells and 3.0V with LiPo’s every time.

As always with Li-Ion cells, what to do depends on your priorities. There is no one “correct” voltage. Is the longest overall (cycle) life important or is maximum run time? Perhaps you just want a good balance between those two?

In my opinion you can increase the overall life of standard Li-Ion cells by staying at or above 3.0V or so. The exact voltage doesn’t really matter. Staying above the point where the cell’s voltage really starts to dive down during a discharge (around 2.8V-3.2V) is what’s important. This is where the cell’s internal resistance goes up and the cell gets hotter, which ages the cell faster. There’s very little charge left in the cell below this point anyway.

You can stop at 3.6V but the additional increase in cycle life you get probably won’t be worth the loss of up to 1/2 of your capacity (run time). Your choice though. You can certainly stop here if you have an application where max cycle life is critical. Electrical vehicles (EV’s) do this since their battery packs are so expensive.

For LiPo’s I recommend always staying above 3.0V as they are easily damaged from overdischarging. I haven’t seen enough good data to say how much better it is to stay above the 3.6V point many LiPo users say to stop at. It certainly won’t hurt your LiPo’s to do this and it will help to extend their life. I just don’t know if it’s worth the huge loss of run time.

For LiFePO4 cells I recommend staying above 2.5V for high power use and up to 3.0V for low power use. Below these voltages there’s just not a lot of capacity left.

Voltage ratings, and the others I’ll discuss in upcoming posts, may not seem exciting but these ratings determine how our cells will perform. A little time spent learning about them can go a long way towards getting the most out of our cells.
