    End of an era - Ikenvape closing shop.

    Sorry if this is already posted, I don't get here as much as I like anymore. But I got an email this morning that says Iken is shutting down, and thought i would share, many of the newer peeps have no clue, but the old guard knows this is like losing an old friend even if you didnt purchase...

    The 510 Drip Tip Debate

    Wide bore tips on drippers anyways allow you to use the tip for its actual purpose, dripping into the atty without removing the cap, hence the name...... When drip tips first appeared they were sized to fit cartos and premade drippers, the sizes were standardized by the size of the cart...

    Hannibal lecter coil

    The most amusing part to me with these crazy coils is how much wire surface is NOT touching the wick surface. Sorry but driving mega watts into a foot of wire will cause any wick to put out like that. Instead of 1/10th the surface area touching (hence the reason these coils have to be so big)...

    I quit vaping cold turkey 7 weeks ago. Didnt want to feel like a slave to nicotine. Anyone else....?

    Slave to- sugar, caffeine, salt, greasy burgers, coca cola, health/sports drinks, coffee, chocolate etc etc . With all the bs advertizing and false claims Nic is on the very bottom of my list, make sure you also give up any b vitamines as well as niacin is actually nicotinic acid.

    Giving up on rebuilding and here's why..

    Yup, and if you went old school silica, learning to hand wrap a coil on the wick. You would have a coil/wick that can be dryburned and cleaned at will without removing ANYTHING. And keep going for 3 to 8 weeks. Doesnt get any simpler or lazier then that.

    Still ok to use coils when they look like this?

    Have a picture of the actual dirty coil? Lol Thats nothing, just slows down the heatup time. Ive had em look like they're coated in brownie crumbles lol. Dry burn the coil and rewick and if you must use iy for now that coil will still work fine.

    Good Mod for military deployments

    Im with ninja, while it may seem like a good decision. Think of that lil plastic box getting slammed around when you have to hit the deck a few times or end up covered in mud or water. Nothing worse then stressing out, pull out the vape, go click, click, click and see a nice error message on...

    Helios on Apollo COMPETITION MOD question

    "Lastly, i have a 0.45 kanthal wire but i dont know how many loops should i put on it. To be safe i use only 3loops for now." !!!!!!!!!!! Really? Do you have an idea of the resistance your even running? Or are you guessing. Bad enough direct connect mods go bad. This type of rushing in just...

    wire Guage?

    Anyone see where I parked the car? Its the white one with 4 wheels. Doesnt help very much does it?. As said you need to know the size of the coils, gauge you want to use, number of wraps, what kind of power you want to run it with etc.. Steam engine, as mentioned is a good coil builder.
