    Fancy(ish) builds and (slightly) higher resistance

    What are the best above-ohm builds for mech mod?

    Hi everyone, I'm not new to mech mods or sub-ohm vaping on mech mods, but I don't really like the idea of sub-ohming on a single 18650 (the only mechs I own are single-battery). I was just wondering if anyone has tips on getting the best performance (vapor production and/or flavor) out of an...

    New to Claptons

    Looking for some guidance/info on switching from Kanthal to Clapton single coils. I just ordered some rolls of Clapton wire for better flavor. I am not sure if a Clapton coil will give that, it seems people are just switching without really saying why. So, the "why" to switch is a question...
