    Build for battery life

    The following is a chart I made showing different coil resistances, 2 different wattage settings and the voltages and currents required to hit those wattage settings. Note that the listings (excepting the final 3 at the bottom) are in PAIRS with the 2nd resistance being 2x the first resistance...

    I found this posted on CNN (feel free to move to approprate subforum)

    While my FIRST response is "well YUCK" - in regards to only 'tobacco flavored' e-cigs have been approved so far, it was rather news to me that ANYTHING had been approved at all. CNN Article about FDA crackdown on 3 popular vaping disributers g.

    Freemax Onnix (20W) Kit (update!)

    I posted my initial thoughts on this pod system sometime back (thread is closed for further comments?). Since Freemax no longer has a vender in my area that sells their gear AND since most companies no longer can ship to Oregon, in efforts to get another 'kit' so I have an extra battery I...

    Freemax Onnix

    Greetings, long term vaper here. Long term rebuildable/replacable/DIY temperature regulated user. So why a 'pod mod' ?? A friend of mine had/has one and liked it and I had not spent any on vaping for quite some time so I figured why not? I'll give it a try. A setup was ~$45 shipped and...

    A tale of two old setups...

    Greetings, maybe I was bored. Maybe to much doom and gloom on all the bans of new gear and the shipping of it. I started to think - why not have some fun with some of the stuff I already have? Cases in point - the two rigs in the picture above. I believe that all the hardware (mods and...

    Maximizing battery life in TC mode

    Greetings, over the years of TC vaping I've found two things that really effect battery life. Namely: mass of the coil power setting I think it is easy to understand that larger/greater mass requires more power to heat up than smaller/lower mass coils. Personally I tend to stick to 24-28AWG...

    Looking back at 2015 - a banner year that started my vaping journey

    Greetings, while looking through my photo archive I found images that help show my beginning steps in vaping. I need to point out that during the work day I use losenges that I get from Costco so only smoked in the mornings before work and the afternoons after work. Here's the first one taken...

    I was feeling "retro" today

    just for fun I tossed this together. (anyone remember these?) KF clone with 6 wraps of 30AWG Kanthal A1 @ 1.7 ohms @ 12W with 18mg 100% VG juice and one 18650 battery. Expectation is that I should be able to get more than a few hours out of the setup before ether the tank or battery run...

    Any inexpensive mods support single 21700 and decent TC?

    Greetings, while I have a YiHi SXmini SL Class SX485J 100W Box Mod inbound I was wondering if there are any less expensive (~$50-75) single 21700 mods that do decent TC (with user changeable TCR value) out there? It seems that all I have these days are 21700's and 26650's. g.

    Evolution of a vape (sort of)

    It all started as I was bored one day and decided to drop by the local vape shop and see what they had for sell. Silly me I bought a "pod mod" to see what all the fuss with the devices was about. Enter the mod on the far left. A "pod mod". I don't recall what it cost me but it was small and...

    Whats the shelf life of Juice? Flavorings?

    I came across a bottle of Juice that was buried behind other stuff for a year and recalled that I used to like it, why not fill up a squanker and enjoy? Problem is I found that it has almost no flavor at all anymore. (barely a hint of flavor) How long do you folks expect this stuff to last...

    Dicodes mods and Kayfun RTA's

    Greetings, while one of my favorite combo's is my Dani 25 and a Kayfun 25 squared I've been having difficulty replicating it. (all I use is TC mode) Namely, I've purchased other Dicodes mods and more Kayfun 25's and now have 3 Kayfun 25's (and a few v4's I have laying around built up) that...

    RDA Aspire Quad Flex - multifunction do everything tank

    I just got one of these. While it can be configured to be many different things I was mainly interested in the bottom feed, top air flow and standard 510 drip tip adapter. My 1st build did not go well as I tried a SINGLE coil between the posts. With the way the air comes in on two sides while...
