    The Myth of the 30 Amp Battery

    Thanks for the responses. Safety and/or redundancy is not a bad thing of course. Personally I only use high quality protected cells. My 3600 mAh Orbtronics were pricey (over 20 bucks each), but according to the specs they can handle up to 7 amps before the protection circuit cuts in. Reviews and...

    Court Defeat for a Vaping Dealer in Western Australia

    Vaping seems to be coming under attack more and more. I have heard of the difficulties being faced in Australia, but I've also seen some new vendors coming online there. Perhaps there is hope.

    The Myth of the 30 Amp Battery

    What I am saying is that @ 1.8 ohms, in a mech mod, with a fully charged battery at around 4.20 volts, we are only at the 2 amp level. Does such a vaper need a 28 amperage safety margin/buffer?

    Voltage Drop/Loss: Is it really that big of a deal?

    Seems like copper mods are in vogue right now and voltage drop/loss remains something vapers like to talk about. But how important is it for the average vaper? My Nemesis for instance has about .20 drop at around 1.8 ohms. My 69 has maybe a .40 volt drop at the same resistance level. Another...

    The Myth of the 30 Amp Battery

    All I see these days are ads for 30 or 35 amp batteries. And I ask myself, does the average vaper need this much amperage? Plugging these figures into an ohm law calculator, we find when vaping at 1.8 ohms on a freshly charged battery at 4.20 volts, the current draw is only around 2.33 amps and...

    Anything out there to measure battery status?

    Probably the best all around tool is a multimeter. Very useful. Touch the probes to the center pin and threads, hit the fire button (if it has one). BTW: Welcome to ECF.

    Best Mech Mod Clone

    Probably the best clone I've come across is the Nemesis clone. I've heard good things about the Stingray as well, particularly its low voltage drop.

    want to buy the thing that the liquid goes in

    Your post made me laugh. If twas not intentional, no disrespect intended on my part. Shouldn't be hard to find a nice pink clearo/carto maybe with some bling. I think I saw some at valuevapor.

    Newbie here need help about Vaping

    I am confused too. Do you mean juice in the air pathway/center post? Juice in the coil is the goal. BTW, Welcome to ECF.

    Had a Terrifying Dream/Nightmare!

    Although I haven't touched a real cigarette in almost 10 months, I had a most unsettling dream/nightmare about one. In my dream, I was smoking an analog and thoroughly enjoying it. It was very vivid and very satisfying. When I awoke I was mortified. Do you believe dreams have significance? If...
