    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Love the fact that I'm getting about 10-15% more battery life on Eco mode. However I'd much rather simply see an option to change how long the screen stays on. As far as the modes setting go, it would make more sense to have them adjust the temp when in joules mode. Something like .... Soft = 5%...

    Asolo by ijoy mod claims Temp control with any kind of coil/wire

    Monitoring "juice level" would actually be simple. Since the resistance rises faster as the coil dries out, all they'd have to do is monitor the rate of resistance climbing as you take a hit. When the rate of resistance change reaches a certain level the device tells you to add juice. On...

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    Reviews I have seen clearly state that the device runs between 30 and 60 watts in temp mode. That is an incredibly bone head design decision IMO. I would have bought one as a backup but unless that issue is addressed, I'm out.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Ok, I'll chime in here. Owned a DNA40 device from get go. Never had a problem so I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I learned how to build coils that worked very well but it required quite a bit of fiddling. Bought an SX Mini M class and sold my DNA40 within 12 hours of using it. I'm not...

    DNA40 vs SX350j

    Reading from the page you linked to, I read the Yihi Specs as Joules mode 0.05 to 0.30Ω. Am I reading in the wrong place?

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I don't know if this will help but I've been building Ni200 coils for 3 or 4 months now and have found that you must make sure there are no hot spots before wicking the coil. To do this, I turn off temp mode (or joules in the SX), set the watts to 6.0, screw on my atty and in a darkened area...

    SXmini M Class + Subtank Mini RBA = all over the map

    It sounds like a hot spot on the coil. I'm not a big fan of the Kanger Sub-Tank, in fact mine ended up in the garbage! One thing I do, to detect a hot spot prior to wicking, is turn off temp mode and turn down the joules to 6.0 - 6.5. I fire the coil in dim lighting until I start to see a faint...

    Authentic vs clone

    The original Stingray has a crappy switch. The cloned stingrays have incredibly crappy switches.

    High End REGULATED MODS !

    So the "Goya". Really, it just takes a minute to do an online search to see that perhaps the name you chose is not appropriate. Would you call your mod the "Heinz?" Also, if the cut-out serves no purpose, why on earth is it there? I just don't get it. That said, this had the potential to be a...

    Vape Show Tampa : VCCT2105 Feb. 28 - Mar. 1 Tampa Convention Center

    It was great getting to see so many folks that I haven't seen in years! Laurel, Classy, Julie, Jen, DJ, Nick, Iffy. Made me yearn for "the good old days" when we'd all meet up and discuss blue foam, tea bags and carto tanks! Alas, the movement has grown huge, as was evident from the mass of...

    mod shops in clrwater largo area.

    Magic Dragon on US 19 between 580 and Curlew. Kyle knows his stuff and mixes some very good juice. In Tampa, see Jason at Tampa Vapor on Dale Mabry. Try the VIPeach. It's amazing. I like to have knowledgeable people when I visit a Vape Shop, not kids that have no idea what customer service means.

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Unlike drippers. subtanks and their ilk rely on vacuum to feed juice to the coils. People who want to blow clouds open the airflow up all the way which reduces the vacuum which, in turn, reduces the wicking. Insufficient wicking will cause the TL to kick in. Try this. - I assume you primed...

    I must have a DNA40M because mine magically fire with one click after shutting down.

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Kiwi, all I use now are contact coils. I was having problems where one coil was great, the next was terrible and so on, so I decided to dry burn a coil that wasn't working well to see what was going on. I hadn't actually done that before due to the warnings about glowing nickel wire red hot! I...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Only took me about three months, 60 coils and 200' of wire to figure this out. I'm a freaking savant!

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Gets right up to 310°. I'm not sure how to calculate the proper temp to use that would equal 410° which I used on pure nickel but the coil and cotton seem to be staying clean and unburnt.

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    I've made many Ni200 coils over the last few months and most have been very good. I finally tried building a twisted 30g Ni200 and 30g Kanthal coil like (I believe) Mamu suggested long ago. I should have listened to her sooner. I have this running at 330° and 20 watts on an Origenny v2. It...

    Jam Band Fans Unite!

    Here's a memory. I had just turned 15. The Mothers of Invention were playing five shows in Montreal. One on Friday night 8/16/69, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. I was at all five shows, however the last show was rained out, so as we were walking around at Expo (which was the leftovers from...
