    More TH with 0mg Juice

    I have completed the journey to 0mg...sort of... A couple of weeks have passed vaping 0mg juice and all is well, except that I am not happy with the lack of TH. The flavor is great, same recipe that I've been vaping for months, but without the TH if all feels incomplete. I've found myself...

    Why do many people seem to favor low-ohm coils?

    Where electricity is concerned...Neither. They both will drain the battery at the same current. Conservation of energy says that if we have 13 watts at the coil then we need 13 watts from the battery....no matter what the resistance is. However, the construction of the atomizer does play a...

    GGTS Clone/CCST/Chi Chi Show and Tell

    For as thin and flimsy as it does feel, it's held up very well (except the chrome finish) and performs pretty dang good. It is a good first mech to get one's feet wet. First impressions can be swayed with a disclaimer. Besides, she might like that it is lightweight compared to it sturdier...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    The largest unknown variable is the battery. There is no telling how much of the voltage drop is in the battery and how much is the #20 and RBA. With a good IMR we can make some reasonable assumptions, but with an off brand ICR it's a shot in the dark. ETA: Dont go any lower on the...

    very SLRs ohms (<0.5 ohms), ss wire wick rope, & a-1 kanthal ribbon wiring

    Anything less then .7Ω with an 18350 is begging for a visit from Murphy and Darwin. If you are less than .5Ω they are probably already en-route. For the love of God, or whoever you believe in, KNOW YOUR BATTERIES and check your resistance before you even think about touching the fire button.

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I got tired of the air channels and the diameter difference of the #8 with the IGO-L....so I fixed it. ...and put a 2000 grit polish on it.

    Battery Life, Low Ohms, and Mechanicals.

    Using CGR18650CH's with a .5Ω coil I get a full day on a charge; about 4-5ml juice consumption. I keep 4 batteries in rotation so I never feel the need to find out how long a charge will last before the vape is completely anemic, I just throw in a fresh battery before turning in for the night...

    Are Panasonic batteries safe to be used with ecigs.

    Oops:oops:...good catch. Too late to edit the previous post, so I hope everyone acknowledges the mistake.

    Are Panasonic batteries safe to be used with ecigs.

    Just the opposite. The CGR/CH holds a higher voltage longer than the NCR/PD. Since most people wont vape a mech mod down below 3.5V, you can ignore the curves below that voltage. At 7A (~0.6Ω coil) the only advantage that the NCR/PD has is below ~3.1V where the lines cross. Nobody would vape...

    Im ready for my first mech mod. But wich one?

    To be honest...if nothing more than to just to get your foot in the door and find out if mechs are right for you, the Sigelei #8 would be my recommendation. It has stainless steel tubes with chrome plated brass end caps, 18650 or 18350 modes, kickable, flush mount, adjustable positive pin...

    Battery Charging Bag

    What would the quality of the bag have to do with the reason that his batteries and charger were overheating? Would a quality bag have prevented this incident?

    Battery Charging Bag

    The proper use of a LiPo bag has been mutilated by the uber-safe e-cig crowd. The bags are designed to be used with Li-Polymer (LiPo) batteries and LiPo chargers. LiPo Battery: Lipo Charger: The only thing placed inside the bag is the BATTERY. The charger stays out...because...

    Are Panasonic batteries safe to be used with ecigs.

    The simple answer is since they do not have a protection circuit, they should not be used. Performance wise, @ 3A the NCR18650A is nearly identical to the AW IMR 2000mAh down to 3.3V, both offering ~37 minutes of run-time with a constant 10W discharge. Even though they have an additional...

    Are Panasonic batteries safe to be used with ecigs.

    Those batteries should NOT be used in VV/VW devices or mech mods. They might work fine and perform well in your device, but do you really know what is going on inside the device? VV/VW devices use pulse width modulation to in order to operate. These pulses can drain the battery at rates as...

    Cotton wicks not lasting long--is this normal? Am I doing something wrong?

    I use the Wal-mart Red Heart brand #10 Crochet yarn and I usually get about 2 weeks on my wicks. I try to keep them wet at all times but I do have the occasional dry hit/burnt taste. I've found that this setup recovers well from the dry hit and I dont have a lingering burnt taste. 8 strands...

    Not recommended in a mech mod. Both are ICR UN-protected batteries.
