Is that Switcher!? Always such an informative post with beautiful writing.
Great to see you my old friend!
You always kept my seat open at the supper table
To tell the truth I burnt out with forums. I lurk to keep in touch but in all honesty (without any disrespect to anyone) not a lot of intelligent convo goes on any more in general
Excellent idea Catcat!
It seems we might have to do away with them unfortunately. It seems like the negative is outweighing here.
Rick, now that's just plain old kinky buddy.I'm afraid I don't have any left my friend.

It seems we have an enigma here. With the new coils rating at 2.4Ω and being fully operational and maxing out at 3.7-4.0V area. We might have to increase the resistance up to 3.5V for VV users. How are your battery run times guys?
Not being on the ground level as I once was, and not being sure what your aim was I felt the need to chime in good buddy. I read a thread by Toronto Mike on WO (all Canadian Forum) who asked or posted a link to (don't remember) are cartos/carto tanks dead or a facsimile thereof? A good Q indeed considering where the industry has gone in the past year or so. That being said I am not fond of where it is heading with some folks requiring 30-50W plus to find satisfaction. These non-smokers would have been back on the stinkies quicker than you can say Jack Robinson, in our day
My new avatar says it all, sorry Johnny that one will remain.
Only knowing the basics that have been posted here, it seems there is still a wetting problem as a 2.4 coil should be good @ 4.5-5V (if not chain vaped), definitely should be capable of vaping @ 4.2V without problem. Some folks questioned the validity of my statement that a carto is only good for 7-10ml depending on liquids. That is what technology has achieved folks, compared to one or two fills in yesteryear. Therefore, are we being too demanding, because unfortunately vapers are cheap F...ers. I know no one wants to hear it but isn't there a little bit of truth in it? Atomisers, coils, tanks and cartos are a consumable item. Let's say a carto last 3 days, it would cost in Canada $45-60 (me) for smokes compared to $1.99. Where do we draw the line?
I am not sure what you think you may achieve good buddy with increasing the resistance to 3.5Ohm so VV vapers will gain from the increase? We did that experiment and we failed, a problem then and still (not yet proven) a problem now (because of the new material). Wetting! I know we would like to vape at higher wattage but, in my most humblest of opinions, a carto was never designed to do so. I admire and support anyone that strives to improve what we had/have towards a better vape. I know a girl that comes to our vape meets, still tooting on a 510 and Boge carto. She's been vaping for 5.5 yrs.
Cartos were also designed for 100% PG liquids. PG never produced the clouds of vapour (COV) vapers demand today. So what is this fixation with COV? Heck we never produced COVs when we smoke, please enlighten this old fool why it is necessary to do so? If you want COV then vape 100% VG and that has its problems as well. It clogs the lungs and causes phlegm, but you will get COV. The downside, VG needs to be diluted by 20% distilled water or 8-10% Ethyl alcohol to wick properly. The other downside of VG? It doesn't volatilize entirely adding to the improper wetting capabilities of wicks and fillers. The fill becomes greasy for the lack of a better word, a term coined by Trog. Back in the day when one would rinse their filler under cold water, they would feel this "greasiness" on their finger tips. A problem evident on its own, greater with VG present in liquids and exponentially so with with the use of 100% VG liquids.
Folks are boosting their voltage/wattage because they can now. There is nothing wrong with that, absolutely nothing. Why? Because if it keeps you off the stinkies, then its a win. That being said...
Circa May 2010 with the advent of the LR atty, a 510 with a resistance of 1.614 and change, these atties were lasting folks days/week compared to months on a regular 2.2Ohm atty. The latter is the price one has to pay for performance. Nothing wrong with that, it is called justifiable risk and one that was accepted by many. Now, it goes without saying that the LR atty has come leaps and bounds compared to what we were accustomed to in the beginning. For the record, the 510 @ 2.2Ohm was a low resistance atty when it appeared on the scene as the avg was 3-3.2Ohm, some as high as 3.5. Pretty darn cool vape at those numbers considering batteries only put out 3.3V under load.
This one will make you smile Isaac. The local B&M vendor wanted to know about dripping, so he got educated. In order for him to understand he had to start at the beginning and not jump in at the fall of 2013. In order for him to understand the IO6 which he had heard about but was fuzzy. As you know one cannot justify or qualify an IO6 unless he/she has something to compare it to. As he was visiting my home it was relatively easy to take him from the baby steps of 801s, 302s, 901s and 510s. How we started with polyfill, then the mods to the fill to finally end up dripping and tail piping. He got the slew of them: the 801; 901; 302; 306; 510; and IO6. As you know good buddy, no one can really appreciate the crescendo unless thet go through the bay steps. Although I forced him to try them all, his favourite atty was the 901, which he mastered in 10 minutes. He was then introduced to dipping with the 306, as folks dipped before they dripped LOL.
Sorry for straying off course. This is all old news to my old friend but to many, new information these days. Unless you know where you came from, one cannot appreciate where they're are going IMHO. I vaped them all! Big, skinny and tall. I vaped them all
Permeability of the filler is a factor, the other is the build up of gunk on the coil, especially now that more and more liquid mfrs use artificial sweeteners in their liquids. In the day we had folks ..... about Isaac's product, it didn't work with set up X or Y. It always came back to the liquid. Why would it be any different today? Folks in the day used to say. <<
I heard great things about your product, but I am not about to change my x or y to use your product>> Sorry folks one size doesn't fit all.
This has gone on long enough. As stated in my previous post, don't be so hard on yourselves. Toppers are a consumable product
To my good buddy... I am only a Skype away
I liked your special vid, too! I just can't post correctly sometimes.
I'm just happy I learned how to multipost..(sortof). I'm the dummy...and it's okay!! I still like me anyway!
