    Theorem RTA

    Hey guys, I am a wussy when it comes to vaping. Not a sub-ohmer or cloud chaser. I Usually vape mouth to lung at 10 watts using 1.2 ohm Kanthal. Prefer tight-ish air flow. Is this the tank for me? I like the top coil feature; better throat hit. Thanks in advance.

    Good to see you back Str8. This thread slowed down to a nearly halt during your absence.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Another way to use VA might be to add just 2% to another flavor as an enhancement.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I use Am-VA Flue Cured at 6%. Anything above that level intensifies that grassy note.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I haven't seen that post, but come to think of it, they may be right. Much of my problem with taste comes from Virginias. Too bad coz I like the way they smoke :)

    I need to check out that setup but don't understand the abbreviations - specifically the Cyclone and the REO... Would appreciate a link to the hardware you are referring to.

    I haven't seen too many people who are a fan of M-type, but it does have a small following who swear by it. As I understand it, it needs a long long time to steep.

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    Someone suggested using a different setup to see if that makes a difference in taste. I usually vape at 10 watts using a 2.5 mm coil at 1.2 ohms. I might try going to a 3mm coil using rayon instead of cotton. What kind of setup are you using?

    Tobacco extraction using heated Ethanol

    I have had to lower my wattage when vaping tobacco extracts since they contain organic material that burn more easily. I also taste a bit of 'funkiness" in some of my NETS. Is that what you mean by hay/corn flavor?

    Come to think of it Mac, any of Hangsen's tobacco flavors can also be considered an "Absolute." They are actually extracted from tobacco leaves. Hangsen calls them "essence" I think ...

    Until Inawera came along, we only had two types of TA, namely Nicotainia Tabacum and Nicotainia Rustica. The former was typically derived from Virginia leaves and the latter from Mapacho leaves, an exotic variety. But you are right, the term is used loosely these days to include extracts from...

    If you like an ashy taste, you can try Red USA from HS. Or else you could add some tobacco absolute.

    Attack of the (Kayfun Mini V3) Clones!

    I prefer the nano over the mini if it wasn't for that annoying hissing sound.

    Counterfeit/Low Grade LG HG2 Test Results

    Thanks, could you possibly share the formula behind those calculations? I have forgotten all I knew about Ohm's law. Also curious to know how you chose the amp rating at 3 A - was it just an an example?

    Counterfeit/Low Grade LG HG2 Test Results

    I just had an strange experience with an HG2 battery which I suspected was fake. Threw it on a mech mod with a 1.2 ohm coil, and the battery got extremely hot after 3-4 puffs. I heard somewhere that a mech mod should not really be used with a high resistance coil such as 1.2 ohm. Is that the...

    Are you referring to a coagulant for oils and waxes? I heard aluminum sulfate absorbs water, not oils.

    Hi everyone, I just had an strange experience with an HG2 battery which I suspected was fake. Threw it on a mech mod with a 1.2 ohm tank, and the battery got extremely hot after 3-4 puffs. I heard somewhere that a mech mod should not really be used with a high resistance coil. Is that the cause...

    New FDA regulations and effect on DIY?

    If the government's real purpose was to protect kids, they could have done a much more effective job than creating these cumbersome regulations. I have visited some websites with sophisticated age-verification tools that work quite effectively - nearly impossible to bypass. They were not giant...

    The 30Q is rated at 15 amps, but Pooch rates it at 20 amps. I guess it's OK, unless that is a typo ...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    According to this thread, some of the Hg2 batteries we are getting might be fake. I may have received one such fake myself judging from how fast it drains. I vape around 12 watts 1.2 ohms, and lost 75% of the charge after just 6 ml's of vaping. Doesn't sound normal to me. Counterfeit/Low Grade...
