    What Size Is the GS-Air-M/MS Really?

    Thanks, If the diameter is too great the atomizer base hits the top of the battery which prevents it from going all the way down parallel with the battery. Just a cosmetic thing, but I'm not sure what would happen if the atomizer was squeezed further against the battery.

    What Size Is the GS-Air-M/MS Really?

    Darn... I was hoping they were 16.5mm, the same as the GS-Air. Anything any wider than 17mm won't let the Bending Adapter work correctly on their 20W device.

    What Size Is the GS-Air-M/MS Really?

    The Eleaf GS Air-M shows the diameter as 16.5mm, but the Eleaf GS Air-MS (Shorty) shows the diameter as 19mm and includes a note which states (same width as GS Air-M) which is 16.5mm. Which diameter is correct for which model?

    Sometime you can get them free at Harbor Freight, or at least in the $1.00 to $5.00 range with discount. Check your local newspaper (Usually Sunday) for coupons. Go to www.harborfreight.com and do a search for voltmeter. Yes, these are cheap meters, but the circuitry for determining...

    The Innokin iTaste VV V3 owners group

    Yes it is safe to charge with a 2A wall wart. I charge mine that way all the time. A device will only draw the amount of current that the engineer designed. You could actually use a source of 1000A with no problem. Look at your house; you can plug in a 3W night light or a 1500W electric heater...

    How I re-wick my T3's with cheesecloth (pictues)

    I found an easy way to make a batch of wicks all at once... I opened up the cheesecloth on the bed and cut a slit a foot or so long 32" up its length. Then I pull the threads out in pairs and lay them on the bed. After I have 6 or 8 pairs I take each pair and fold it in half, then in half...

    How I re-wick my T3's with cheesecloth (pictues)

    Not all. The ones I have (3) are reasonably stable considering how much they cost. It's the cheap leads more so than the meter itself. Make sure the banana plugs and tips are as clean as you can get them. I wipe them off with a rag dampened with WD40 every once in a while which cleans them up...

    How I re-wick my T3's with cheesecloth (pictues)

    I would strongly suggest you test the rebuilt head before you put it on the battery. One leg of the coil, which is the positive side, goes very close to the shell, negative side, and if it, the positive side, touches the shell you could do permanent damage to the battery. If you have one...

    How I re-wick my T3's with cheesecloth (pictues)

    My first T3 coil lasted 20 weeks. It would have lasted longer except I broke it trying to get the old silica wick out the first time. My current T3S has lasted 12 weeks and is still going strong. I do a thorough cleaning (coil and tank) and a dry burn once a week.

    where do I get an ohm meter?

    Harbor Freight is where I get mine... http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=digital%20volt%20meter I got this one for atomizers only. His stock goes fast so you have to check back often, but it's worth the wait. http://www.madvapes.com/cartomizer-and-atomizer-ohm-meter.html

    measuring battery voltage

    Also you will get inaccurate reading from a DMM if your device outputs PPM or PWM voltages since these voltages are constantly switching on and off. PPM and PWM explained here: PPM VS PWM - YouTube

    Youtube thinks we are all doing bad things

    Use AdBlock Plus, a plugin for Firefox. I don't get any ads on YouTube or anywhere else. Yes, I know, some web sites survive only because of their ad revenue, but then I mute the commercials on my TV, too. So, sue me.

    Kanger T3 wicks?

    I bought a base and 5 pack of coils from Sun-Vapers and converted my T3 tanks to T3S. My spare T3 bases are now sitting in a corner as backups.

    Kanger T3 wicks?

    To me going from the T3 to the T3S is good news, not bad. It's like not having to buy a new car when the ash tray gets full (you older smokers out there will know the joke).
