    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    Seeing the gaps in the coils, I am thinking hot spots too. Anemic production also makes me think of uneven coils. It's also too many wraps for my liking. Gonna take of time a bit to ramp up. An old school wrap on silica, no coils touching, etc, can yield a fine vape. Just be sure the resistance...

    Wicks can get better after some use. His wicking may have been a bit slow to keep up, thus the throttling and low vapor he experienced. Finding that ideal wick length/thickness on a new build may prove challenging but once dialed in for your different devices , it should become second nature.

    I assume that is NI200 wire. What gauge and what resistance? I'd think you'd need quite a bit for say an 0.2 Ω coil.

    Depending on how they do this, this could be a big thing with microwave cooking. You won't have to wonder about what watts you're oven is, just the food temp. I wonder if juices will start coming out with different flavor profiles at different temps on the label, like coffee roasting profiles...

    Purple efest 18650 battery warning

    I had a short Q and A with an Efest rep who insists their 3100 mah is made by their "parent company". She says that is true for all of their purple batteries. Maybe so, as there are cell mfr's in China and maybe they are licensed to mfr for other companies, I just don't know...

    Purple efest 18650 battery warning

    From the test "Pattern obtained simultaneously from Vapor-Freak.de and Akkuteile.de. Ooops, Sorry, I've poorly coordinated) " So the batteries were from 2 different vendors. Efest has replied that they are 10 amps and pulse at 20 amps and so slapped a 20 amp sticker on them. Without saying...

    Purple efest 18650 battery warning

    SO we know that 1 test showed the 3100 mah 20 amp is a rewrapped Panasonic 18650be. There is a chart there with that battery at 20 amps. At 4.2 volts, it drops to about where DWCraig got in his testing. I do not consider there good results when compared to the other batteries though. Here is the...

    Battery Internal Resistance Measurements

    Seems I forgot the wattage setting affecting the battery cutoff. I was disappointed in the dna in the Futura but it seems now that I can, I vape everything at around 18 watts, lol, not that I need that much. Imho, your pink samsung will be at a higher voltage when it quits on all those mods.

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

    What he said. The DNA will not reduce voltage below what the battery has. Add some coils. Be sure they are right over the airhole and lifted off the base. You will take less and maybe shorter pulls with the higher nic hit. You simply adjust to the product. Laboratory rats do when given the...

    When you tap down with the hammer/punch it seems like what you are really doing is knocking the insulator down a bit.You might try that directly with a small socket or an upside down screw, center pin removed of course.

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

    Keepower is better known in the flashlght forums and they have an excellent reputation there. Their batteries usually test on par with the original mfr's tests. They do what orbitronic and efest do. Rewrap the battery adding, protection, nipple tops, etc. I think these are the Sony VTC4 in keeps...
