New guy in town :)

[DonMatteo]

Hi all.
I'm new to this forum and just wanted to say thank you everyone. I've been getting my info and tips from here for quite a while now and just decided to sing up. I will try to help you guys as much as I can. Btw that's my baby right here
I know it has loads of hate out there from few people, especially on the coil life but I think this kit is the beast, just my opinion though.
Again, thanks and see you out there

Hate is a strong word in vaping circles. There are products I'm not sure about and products I think are not reliable enough, but we try not to to judge.
That looks a beautiful rig to me... sure... why not.

Hi Welcome to ECF. Hate is a strong word indeed, I mainly reserve it for wicking my RTAs at which time I do, truly hate them.

However, welcome to ECF and glad you joined, hope you enjoy your stay. Your mod looks very nice to me, but I like them (mods) generally, so....

Welcome

Anna

I do have a Baby Beast X4 coil in there now, just wanted to try it out, and honestly it is better than original Vaporesso GT coil. There, I said it, it's better. What bothers me is the BEST possible wattage for that coil in my NRG. Any suggestions?

 

[stols001]

Start low, prime, work your way up. There is no "best wattage" for that coil, there is the wattage YOU prefer at this time, with the juice you are using. It will be different for everyone. EG I like a cool vape so I tend to be below manufacturer's "recommended" settings, which really doesn't mean much, other than "I like a cool vape." You may prefer something entirely different, so you'll have to experiment with it.

If you want your coils to last in the BB, I'd really recommend a good prime. Some of those coils can be a bit temperamental. Glad you are enjoying the vape, however.

Best is what works best for you. I am a 40-50 watt guy depending on the ohms.. Like suggested, start low and work your way up.

I think I might be that 50s man. I did try 40 which was a bit too "soft" for me. 60 too strong (at least on that coil)
Anyways I didn't work my way up, will leave it to another coil which could be T8 because I want to try all different coils before getting the right one in batches. Btw you guys buy your coils at vape shops or order in batches? Vape shops seem to do a bit of a rip off on them :/

 

[stols001]

I order in batches once I've figured out which coil I like. It's less expensive, if you can wait for the slow trip from China, Fasttech is pretty good about labeling authentic things as authentic, and they tend to have decent deals on coils.

Good luck,

Anna

I think it looks FANTASTIC!

 

[DonMatteo]

Yeah that's what I indented to do.
Anyways, I'm only trying to quit smoking now, I'm fairly new to vaping, at least to "high watts, low resistance" vaping.
Once I get rid of that cigarette crave I will look more into RDA and mechanical mods. For now I will stick to premade coil heads.

Thanks
I think Vaporesso did a stunning job on that Revenger, I could even say I'm in love with it

I use a lot of premade coils. It depends on what I am trying to to. On a squonking RDA (protected 'mechanical', unregulated) I make the coils to get a specific resistance. (about 0.3ohms)

 

[DonMatteo]

One last question. Is there any tanks out there you could recommend? Apart from TFV8 and TFV12 because I'm getting these anyway

Is FastTech actually in China? I was wondering, because I usually order from AliExpress which is in China and takes at least a month to deliver the goodies. I'm asking because it seems that FastTech is a lot cheaper.
Thanks

 

[stols001]

Fasttech is a China based company, but I think they have SOME warehouses or A warehouse over here? They're kinda really slow, but then every now and then unexpectedly fast. With that said, the prices are reasonable and Customer Support is decent, provided that you accept that you are talking to a Chinese middle schooler who isn't allowed to vape, but once that language barrier is done, well, they do have great prices, I probably use them more than the other Chinese retailers but I don't buy anything I need immediately that's for sure.

I'm a little partial to the Revenger.
Have the same one minus the NRG tank. Good choice.

Thanks for the info Anna.
Yeah I can agree on the NRG. It's a good tank, no offence, but I know that there are better. Speaking of tanks, how do you peeps stock yourself with coils and cotton for RDAs? I mean, where do you buy your equipment.

 

[jfcooley]

MUJI Makeup Facial Soft Cut Cotton Unbleached 60x50 mm 180pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VHA3ZXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_OpwFletebIBTE

The cotton I use, there are plenty of choices.
Wire I buy where I find it when I need it, sometimes I just buy pre-built coils. I can only wrap basic coils though. Nothing fancy.

FasTech is often where I buy that stuff now that I think of it, usually not in a hurry.

 

[stols001]

A lot of vape stores sell them, I find amazon to be cheaper and you can get pretty much everything except vape equipment and juice there, fairly inexpensively.
