    Best battery for a mechanical mod & genesis setup?

    For <1.2 ohm coils, an AW IMR 1600mAh is going to hold its voltage under load better than anything else that I've seen tested; meaning higher wattage for a longer time. Next best will be the Panasonic CGR/CH followed by the AW IMR 2000mAh. Above 1.2 ohms, its a pretty level playing field with...

    Should I take out clear rubber in VAMO connection? Also Vivi Nova issue with VAMO

    Disassemble the VAMO, push the center pin and wire out through the top of the connector, remove old isolator, put new isolator over center pin and wire, seat the isolator in the connector body, push center pin into isolator. It's harder than is sounds if you are not mechanically inclined.

    Non Resistance Wire - Does Material Matter?

    Copper will oxidize quickly, especially in the presence of heat, moisture, and nicotine. I don't think patina would be particularly good to vape (random thought: would the vape taste like a penny?). Silver and Nickel wire are most common and very resistant to oxidation and corrosion.

    Click the links in the above posts. It's free 3D Modeling software. Food safe...you pick your material when you send the model to production, but unless you are planning to make a hybrid/all-in-one device where juice will contact the material then there isnt much reason to worry about being...

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    1.7 seems high to me. 3/4 w/30awg gave me 1.2ohms with a wick the exact size of the wick hole. With one less wrap AND a thicker wire, a .2ohm difference between the 32g and the 30g doesnt sound right.

    M81 mod??

    Should be an easy mod. 14500 should fit nicely, and they were nice enough to give you a premade bottom switch and key ring. ;) Just don't try to fly with it. :D

    Alternative to the Electric Angel?

    Can not decide AGA T/T+/T2/W or Vivi Nova 2.5

    Get both if you can. I have a whole stack of cartomizers that I haven't touched in weeks because of those 2 devices. But as always taste is subjective, however those 2 are cheap enough to cut your teeth on and find what you like. Be forewarned though...many people don't like a ViVi Nova...

    Safe to recharge IMR AW batteries mid-drain?

    That is the essence of the question. Not many people know...but many will still tell you "don't [fill in the blank], it's bad for your battery." Those statements are usually accompanied with vague or undefined variables like: too low, sooner, completely drained, more life, etc.. So I like to...

    Safe to recharge IMR AW batteries mid-drain?

    What is completely drained and at what point does the damage start?

    New 18650 Question

    Refer back to post #3... The Panasonic 3400mAh will never use >3000mAh in a single cell APV. 3 amps, or about 7-9 watts from an APV. The red lines are typical cutoff voltages under load. Where do you get your info about how the "NEW" ICR batteries behave? You can't increase the...

    New 18650 Question

    The AW IMR 2000mAh will hold about 1800mAh down to the cutoff voltage at a pretty stout wattage. What is not being talked about is the underlying factors. It's easy to talk about average current and look at battery charts and specs. How about peak current and voltage sag? Ever notice that...

    Sanyo 2600mah Unprotected vs High discharge IMR

    Switches???

    Have you tried these to make sure they fit? I have not, but looking at the datasheet it will be VERY close on the depth and I never measured the hole diameter of the bolt.

    Switches???

    For wire, go to Home Depot or Lowes and find a sales associate in the electrical section. Tell him you need 22/4 security cable. They sell it by the foot for about $0.50/ft. 22/4 means that there are 4 strands of 22g wire inside of the outer jacket. Strip the outer jacket away and you usually...

    Sanyo 2600mah Unprotected vs High discharge IMR

    Without getting too deep in the weeds, 5.2 amps doesn't seem to be sufficient for many of the Chinese APVs. The difference is in the average current VS the peek current. Average current can be well below 5.2A but peak current could be more than double of the average (remember we are dealing...

    I want to like the vivi nova

    You make the rebuildable category sound like "The Isle of Misfit Atomizers". The beauty of it is that it is a rebuildable that is easy to use. Some kanthal, some wick of your choice, and something to wrap a coil around, is all you need. Because of the highly subjective nature of ecigs, very...

    I want to like the vivi nova

    My experience with the VN.....the stock heads are atrocious. I solved all of my complaints (tight draw, dry hits, burnt taste...) about the stock heads with a bit of modding and rebuilding. Now it is my primary device. On a fresh battery it is running over 11w with no burning. I found it...

    120v Line voltage VV battery-less passthrough..... build?

    The board and switch wont fit in a 2xAA box together. He would have to use a tact switch to fit in that box.

    120v Line voltage VV battery-less passthrough..... build?

    Madvapes for the 510 connector The switch depends on your style. You could mod the board a bit and use a tact switch for a small profile in a small box. A larger switch would just go inline and require a larger box. All depends on what you want. Choosing the form factor of the box is probably...
