    Ended Innokin Ares 2 Giveaway + Ask Phil & Dimitris anything!

    I suspect you already know, but the Ares is a ship in the Star Trek universe, mentioned in an episode in one of the first seasons of TNG. I was certain that the Zenith was also a Star Trek ship, but googling around I can only find a reference to fan fiction using that name for a ship (NCC-1002).

    Thanks for your suggestion. I must admit that I am a bit of a tinkerer, some of the fun for me comes from modifying and trying out different things just for the sake of experimenting.

    An update to using the Vandy Vape bottle with the Kudos: I bought another Kudos, and unfortunately the Vandy Vape bottles does not work as well in my new one. I do not know why, but for whatever reason they seem to be in there tighter than on my first Kudos. Here's a picture of an empty bottle...

    Another little "mod", if you like me are a little bit worried about juice getting into the USB-C port: One reviewer on youtube pointed out that the port is very close to where the RDA sits. In any case, it can't hurt to have it covered. The plug can easily be found on ebay if you search for...

    Hippovape Kudos 80W Squonker

    No, not really, apart from an issue with juice coming out of the vent hole while I filled, but it seems it works OK when I tilt the mod slightly backwards while filling. I am probably gonna keep using the Vandy Vape bottle, though. One idea, concerning your issue: It seems like the rubber...

    So I received the Vandy Vape Pulse Dual bottle from FT, and I am happy to say that it actually works fine right out of the box! It is a little bit fiddly to get the bottle in and out, but still much easier than taking in and out the original bottle. To remove it, place a finger through the...

    Hippovape Kudos 80W Squonker

    I have had mine for a few days. It is a good quality mod and everything has worked fine so far. It is amazing to have a squonker even smaller than some non-squonk single 18650 mods and still have 7ml capacity and a decent regulated board. I have one major gripe though: Filling. When I fill...

    Yeah, you may be right. In any case there are silicon bottles for $2.50 so it should be good. I just thought it would be nice to have another option if I did not like the filling system on the original bottles.

    To me it does not seem like the connection itself is proprietary. If you take a look at the bottle there is just a hole on the top. The question is if the diameter of the metal pipe in the mod is somewhat suitable to the silicon tube.

    Anyone received this yet? I see there are now replacement bottles on 3fvape: Buy Authentic Hippovape Squonk Bottom Feeder Bottle for Kudos 80W Mod Or this: Buy Authentic Hippovape Bottom Feeder Squonk Bottle for Kudos Box Mod Also, I am wondering if maybe these bottles will fit: $3.68...

    Hippovape Kudos 80W Squonker

    It seems like it has a fairly normal juice intake pin, so if only there was a bottle that was short enough it could probably work. I have briefly browsed squonk bottles on Fasttech but could not find any that would definetely fit, but it is hard to know for sure without the exact dimensions...

    I am not following you. What is the difference between "calculate the data" and "govern the output"? With regards to processing power, I would think that it is a piece of cake for modern chips to do the ohms law equation. Yes, there clearly is a ramp up. I do not know what causes it. But if...

    Kanthal is designed specifically to not change as temperature increases. It can clearly be seen on most regulated mods. The resistance stays pretty accurately the same during the puff. Other materials like stainless steel will and should increase during the puff. If you replace "wattage" with...

    But if the voltage changes in a VW situation then the ohms must have changed. I don't get what other reason there would be for the voltage to change or fluctuate.

    New squonkers

    Ok, but if your ohms are stable the voltage should also be stable in VW mode, right? And in VV mode, if the ohms are not stable the watts and experience will not be stable either. What you experience is your subjective perception. As long as you are happy that is what counts, whatever the...

    You, and others who have pointed out the same, are correct that in VW mode the mod will adjust the voltage on the fly according to the resistance and set wattage. Some older mods, though, would just calculate the voltage when you push the button, i.e at the beginning of the hit. I think the...

    Variable wattage IS variable voltage. There is no technical difference. It is just that the value is presented in a more sensible manner. So let's say you want twice as much power. In wattage mode you just dial in twice as many watts. In voltage mode, let's say you're on 5 volts on a 1 ohm...

    Authentic Gate MTL RTA by Ambitions Vaper

    Mine has been with me for about a week. I am sorry to say that I am not all that impressed. There seems to be an issue with gurgling, and I have noticed two things: 1) The bell does not sit tight around the deck, and the seal is metal to metal. 2) When I open it to fill and there is some juice...

    I really like the looks of the Ultroner Aether: Aether – Ultroner Had it not been stabwood I would already have ordered it. They got everything right, IMHO: Chip in seperate compartment from 510, in case of leaks. Button and bottle on the same side, a la the Pico Squeeze Small compact 18650...
