    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    Juice "popping" is generally indicative of 1) good wicking and 2) higher PG blends. I use KGD because it wicks the best in my opinion. Vaping a 50/50 blend I don't get popping but while using the same exact set up but adding 70/30 to the next fill up, I get the popping. Its because of the...

    How did you go about decreasing your nic level?

    When I switched from a pack a day of American Spirit Blues to vaping 5 years ago I went with 18mg and pretty much made a full swap out of cigarettes for vaping. I'm currently at 12. If I ever feel like its too much I'll lower it or if I ever consciously decide I want to lower it then I will...

    Sony VTC 5 is back!

    Personally, I'm sticking with VTC4s until the 5s come back. I'm sort of limited because of the super tight battery channels in the vapor flask so even authentic VTC5s which have a longer top part wont fit. I've got 4 or so VTC5s which I bought within the last month which are supposedly legit...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I've had it up to 20W but it's too much for me. I preferred it between 14 & 17 watts for a smoother but still hard whacking vape.

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    The only place I could find tempered Ni200 was a UK site called stealthvape. $5 shipping to Boston in 7 days with Christmas within that week. It's A LOT easier to work with than any other nickel I've worked with. It sucks tempered seems so hard to find & if it doesn't say that it's tempered...

    What should I buy next?

    I just found this when doing a brief search. It says they use an authentic evolv DNA chipset and it's $100. For your budget, if you want a new device, this one should do the trick and is regulated down to 0.5 ohms, so you can go low safely and crank up the watts to 20. (I have DNA 30 & 40...

    What should I buy next?

    In my opinion, putting a good atty on a cheap mod/battery device is... eh. 1st & foremost I think you should buy a good mod. I highly suggest a regulated device. They're safest, you can control how hard or light of a vape you get off of any atty and they're reliable, show ohms, battery power...

    Introducing Futura - The Modular DNA 20 APV by NexgenVapor[ISSUE]

    I've been vaping nothing but a DNA40 device since I got it 100% of the time using nickel wire and temp. My biggest attraction to temp control is the flavor and not inhaling torched juices & wick - which ultimately makes the flavor nastier, obviously, but also carries potential health risks...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    Squape R, wide deck, tempered 28 awg Ni200, 10 wraps, 0.16ohm. Great flavor & vapor. Hitting like a champ & not coming close to the 410F max temp. Happy New Year!:party:

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Squape R, 28 gauge tempered nickel 200 wrapped around a 3mm bit on a wide deck, using KGD cotton not twisted or compressed, cut as best I could deal with to the edge of the top of the deck, right now coming in at 0.16ohm and slowly rising to the 370's F with it set to 410F. No leaking, great...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    Oh, & in case you couldn't see in the pics, its 10 wraps. Love to hear how the vertical coils are working on this thing. I imagine you could probably get a lot of well spaced coils with long legs to boost the resistance.

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! I got tired, came home, twisted up a coil using some new tempered Ni200 28 gauge I ordered from stealthvape and I gotta say, the "tempered" nickel is much easier to wrap coils with than annealed (ie all other nickel available that doesn't specifically note that its tempered...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    HAPPY NEW YEAR! I was beat, just got home & twisted up my first coil using the the tempered Ni200 28 gauge. Prior to getting this tempered stuff I have been using the drill bit method for straightening my Ni200 to make it easier to work with. This tempered stuff is MUCH better. Super firm &...

    Sony VTC 5 is back!

    So electronicstix got back to me and they said their VTC5's have the longer tops and wont fit into a flask. :( Not bad for anyone looking for authentic ones not planning on using it in a flask.

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    Yeah, I only use the sheets of Japanese organic cotton because it works so well. I was heavily considering rayon, but I'm on the fence and doubt I ever will. Okay, @ Junny89, If I ever experience a heavy gurgle/leaking, 1st I'll open up the air, draw light & vape to burn off excess juice...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    Thought I'd share my current DNA40 build even though it's not pretty right now- been vaping it hard for a couple days and a bunch of tanks through it so it's probably due for a new wick & getting gunked up. 28 gauge Ni200, 9-10 spaced out wraps around about a 3mm bit to come in around...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    On a side note, I contacted StattQualm about designing a wide deck made for DNA40/Ni200 because there's not much room for all the coils needed for this type of build. Not sure he got what I was saying but he did share that he is planning on releasing a couple new decks sometime soon so...

    Official Squape R[eloaded] thread!

    The first small handful of builds I made on mine I encountered this issue. What I believe, for me, is that if I don't cut the cotton flush at the top of the channels where they meet the sides, too much wicking material ends up down the sides which wicks it too much and thus causes flooding...

    Sony VTC 5 is back!

    The ones I got from illumn (HE2s and VTC4s) both fit nicely in my flask. Perhaps a bit snug at first but gently wiggling they slide in with minimal resistance. All of the VTC5s that I bought in the last few months I feel like I'd need a hammer to bang in, but an older VTC5 I got from...
