    Lavabox DNA75 acting up

    All of a sudden when in tc mode I get the temp protection error immediately after firing and the vape is very weak. If I put the same tank (an obs engine) on my Therion DNA 7, it works like it should. I have checked the ss coils and even replaced them, with the same results. Anyone have any...

    Love my OBS Engine but I always need the next big thing

    I would like recommendations on what I can try next. To me the OBS is a near perfect RTA. The only thing I don't care for is the side fill, but then I don't have a top cap that I have to deal with so side fill has it's pros and cons. The biggest pros the OBS has for me is 1-Flavor, 2-It will not...

    Got my third OBS engine-It may be a clone

    I have ordered all of my Engines from Gearbest and the first two checked out as authentic. This latest one gave me the warning that it is a fake on the OBS site. Honestly, there is no way that I can tell the difference between the fake Engine and the authentic ones. The vape is identical to the...

    Love my wraps

    I have a Lost Vape Therion DNA75 that I use daily and although I love it and it is a great mod, it has a terrible habit of destroying the battery wraps around the top of the battery. So I bought some wraps from IMR Batteries and man are those things great. They are a little thicker than the...

    My Halo Sub Zero Substitute

    I am hesitant to call this a Sub Zero clone, but I am liking this as much as I did Sub Zero. I stopped vaping Sub Zero mainly because of cost. At $20 for 30ml of juice I would be spending about $60 a week for my vaping habit. I started making DIY juices almost a year ago, but I never attempted...

    I wish I had thought of this before-OBS Engine content

    Out of boredom I was watching a build tutorial for the OBS engine and it was suggested that you should pull the coils up towards the top of the deck since it is a top air flow tank. So I opened mine up, pulled out the wicks and moved the coils up until the coils were almost even with the top of...

    I am in a good place right now

    I have found a comfortable place in my vaping journey. I have found, for me, my perfect combination. For my mod I am using either a Therion DNA 75 or a Hohm Slice. They are both set on TC mode at 450 degrees with a nominal wattage of 45 watts. My tank is an OBS engine. It is without a doubt the...

    Why does strumming coils work

    I have been trying to understand the physics of this and it just does not compute in my head. I would like to say it is bogus but I have had coils that would not glow evenly or have hot spots and then strum them and voila the hot spots are gone and they glow evenly. But I think about it and I...

    Vaping and indoor air quality

    My wife has had a long bout with bilateral pneumonia and we recently purchased an air quality monitor to make sure that there weren't any environmental factors in our home that might be causing her lung problems. Fortunately our indoor air quality is excellent. As an experiment I started chain...

    OBS Engine is stuck

    I discovered today that the glass on my OBS Engine has a crack in it. How that happened I do not know. I haven't dropped it and I never have anything else in my pocket when I carry it . So I decide to take it apart to replace the glass. I can get the deck off just fine but the top part will not...

    Batteries in, or batteries out?

    When you put your mod away for a day of so, do your take the batteries out or do you leave them in? Are there any safety issues with storing your mod for a few days with the batteries in the mod?

    Whence comes the 510?

    The connector on the mod and atty as well as some drip tips are called 510. Where does 510 come from and what does it refer to? I have been vaping for three years now and I have alsways wondered why it is called 510.

    Unusual problem with my Therion DNA75

    I have my Therion set up for TC hitting 75 watts for 2 seconds then down to 35 watts and the temp set at 500 degrees. When I change batteries and take my first hit it feels like it is pegged at 75 watts and 600 degrees although the screen still shows 35 watts and 500 degrees. If I change the...

    Problem with Therion and TC, weak vape

    I just got my Therion DNA75 yesterday and it has been a solid performer in power mode, but TC has been a disappointment. The vape is very weak and so are the clouds. I am using a Griffin 25 with dual fused claptons (not spaced) at .30 ohms. I have it set to hit hard for 2 seconds at 60 watts...

    NMD (New Mod Day) Lost Vape Therion DNA75

    I ushered in the new year with a new mod. This morning vape mail brought me a shiny new Therion DNA75. I have been using my Alien as my every day mod, but at times it can be a little inconsistent, especially in TC mode. Now I have the consistency of my Lavabox M but with more battery life. Even...

    OBS Engine Gold Tone

    I had been looking at a Petri RTA gold plated, but $70 is a bit much for me. That along with the fact that it only holds 2ml of liquid was a real deal breaker. Then I saw the OBS Engine in gold tone. I loved the way it looked and it holds 5.2ml. That was it, I ordered one right away. I got it...

    Dulce De Leche percentages for good flavor

    I bought some DDL to give it a try in my butterscotch recipes. I mixed up a trial batch using FW-DDL @ 5%, FW-Butterscotch @ 5% and FW-Vanilla Custard @ 5% with a touch of sweetener. I put a few fresh drops in my Mutation X dripper for a taste test and did not like the taste. It was almost like...

    RDA Do I really need an RDA?

    Right now I have one, a Mutation X v4. I keep having this urge to buy another one like a Goon, a Recoil or a Tsunami. But I have to ask myself why? I hardly ever use the one I've got and I find dripping to be somewhat of an inconvenience and messy at times. I like my big tanks because I don't...

    Piña Colada Help Needed

    I bought some Inawera piña colada concentrate and mixed it straight up with 50/50 pg/vg at 3 mg/ml nic and it has a harsh bite to it until I vape it for a while. I then reduced the percentage of the piña colada concentrate and added a few drops of smooth and that did not reduce the bite at all...

    Ordered some Inawera Piña Colada, what percentage to use?

    For the most part I don't like fruit flavors but I do like pineapple I do like to drink piña coladas. I was going to mix my own but I thought I would give the Inawera concentrate a try first. What percentage should I mix with 50/50 vg-pg?
