    Help!!! Brass caravela by hcigar will not patina!

    I've seen a lot of patina caused by the natural oils on your hands and use of the device. Almost every YouTube review I've seen on Hcigar caravela they mention a natural patina. If it does have any stainless in it, a little bit of gun metal oil will give a little bit black/brown patina. You...

    Help!!! Brass caravela by hcigar will not patina!

    Chris, That gauge brass would cost a fortune. I'm wondering if it's stainless with Brass. Both are non magnetic. 100% brass will patina from the oils in your skin for gods sake. I really wish these vendors would be straight up with us. Your original formula from your first post would have made...

    Help!!! Brass caravela by hcigar will not patina!

    Go to an art store not a craft store like Ac Moore or Michaels, and you'll find an array of different patina fluids that will produce Statue of Liberty to mid evil looking brass. I'll try to find a link. Here you go: Patina Finishes - BLICK art materials i have a BFA and have a ton of patina...

    Changing coil in aspire atlantis

    Dollar stores sell little tupperware cups by the dozen for a dollar. I use them for keeping coils in to testing out steeping juice some more.

    Aspire Atlantis issue

    Dumb question but do you have the coil holes exposed in the tank where the notches are?

    istick 50 with atlantis

    I have the aspire Atlantis and the eleaf Melo tank on a 30 watt IStick. They both work great, the only thing I've noticed is the Melo doesn't seem to drain as quick as the Atlantis.

    Pick one

    As much as I love my IStick I wish it wasn't going to be a pain in the ... if I go the route of disassembling and putting a new battery in.( I probably won't, nyiddle I promise lol). The upside of the ipv is you can just pop new battery in when one starts to go downhill. But I agree bwh79...

    Issues Rewicking SUBTANK .5 ohm Coils (burning)

    You probably did this but did you check to make sure none of the coils are touching or something is creating a hotspot? Your ohm reader is reading .5?

    Smaller bottom gasket for Atlantis

    Does one exist? Can it be diy'd. I feel like there would be better performance all around if the wick holes weren't almost half covered by how big the bottom gasket on the Atlantis is.

    Atlantis coil rebuild.

    I just finished rebuilding an atlantis and melo coil, both required a 3.5mm -9/64" drill bit and 24g . Make sure the coils are about a mm away from each other and all that good stuff. Check ohms on volt meter if all is good prime well, take a few dry hits and should work. You'll get the hang of...

    Can someone please help? UK laws have forced my e-juice supplier to have it made in the UK and the replacement which are supposed to taste the same. B

    Welcome to ECF. Besides steeping like others have already said I have nothing to offer. I was a heavy marlboro smoker for years and really got hooked on NicVapes RY4 medium. They have mild medium and strong. It's the closest I got to an actual cigarette after taste but with the slightest bit...
