    can someone explain ohms to me?

    From the pain in this thread the answer appears to be that explaining ohms and why you'd care is hard, but people gave links so I'll just focus on why you'd care. You should go through them, and know that if you have a VV (variable voltage, eg you can dial it up or down) you'll generally want...

    First experience with nickel build :-)

    First of all, welcome! :) Second of all, this post has my spider-sense tingling, especially when someone's first post is phrased as yours is, but glad it's working for you. Did you have any issues working with the the nickel wire? What type of coil'd you make, what gauge of nickel, what...

    Hi there

    It can, but it's not a given. It really just depends on the price and reliability of the batteryless-mod. e.g., a decent pair of batteries and a charger will set you back ~$35. So you basically have to weight it for each mod, unless you're talking a very reliable mechanical box mod or something.

    hello everyone just thought I'd let you know where I get my liquid from for cheap

    Their 300ml is $17.74UK or ~$26.61 USD or $0.09 before shipping. mtbaker at 236ml is around $0.14 and makes a healthy profit. Yaeliq in Israel is like $0.10 and does just fine. I don't think people have a real sense as to the profit margins involved with eliquid, especially in volume -- they...

    Eleaf iStick not charging

    Not that I've seen on the places that'd have them, at least not labeled as from them -- but it wouldn't surprise me if they aren't exactly designing their chipsets and having them fabbed. Before you even got there you'd want to break it down with a multimeter and check all the caps/circuitry...

    Tunnelno5 Introduction: KFL+V2 (Pics of build)

    1. Please help us clarify ... you're doing lol as I think we're all confused by your terminology. When you say "I'm smoking a "PIE" Caramel Flavored Concentrate with 3 mgs of nicotine" do you mean you have an eliquid that's pie flavored and has 3mg nicotine? Or you are making your own eliquid...

    why cant i post links to pics??

    Because you don't have enough posts, so you're still in quarantine. :) Go to imgur.com, upload your pics, come back and paste the link in as an obfuscated url. e.g. www . joeyjux . com Also, welcome!

    opinions

    Good advice above, but a few notes: [1.] Avoid the 20w iStick, it doesn't downvolt voltage and isn't a great mix with your existing tanks. Because it can't go below 4.2V until your battery goes down, your mini PT2 is likely to get lots of dry-hits and such. The 30w fixes the voltage and a few...

    Need Help With iTaste MVP

    From the stats I've seen on people who'd choose their smartphone vs 5 years of their life, yes. But most of them weren't having to choose between competing addictions, and as the senior citizens smoking hooked up to O2 tanks shows -- don't bet against nicotine. :) I'm not sure it's a "big"...

    Do you have to rebuild to drip

    ah mesh: I tried it twice: once so I could fail, and once to prove I could do it. I can recognize abusive relationships, and that was clearly one. Never again.

    For the masses... It arrived and it's ready to be vaped (Preview RDA)

    1. Death by Robino1 isn't the worst way to go. I don't think I'm the only one to have had those dreams. Well, maybe the one with the seal. 2. You always want a little wiggle-room, otherwise people will get clever and word their posts so they can be taken multiple ways. :) 3. To the OP, best of...

    First Build Help

    Regarding build quality, the IPV2 is generally well regarded (IPV3 is having some issues) and the Sigelei even moreso. Regarding the biggest clouds... mate, you have a lot to learn, which isn't a knock but just a reality. You're looking at dropping a lot of cash on an advanced system. If you're...

    Eleaf iStick not charging

    I'd listen to CampbellMC on this one, if you can't fix it yourself or have a friend who knows their way around a soldering iron and a multimeter (and even then if it took out a chip you could be SOL) a fix would probably be more than the cost of a new one. Sorry mate.

    First Build Help

    Hey mate, welcome! A few notes: 1. I'd listen to Boomer and forgo the mechanical. They have their charms and benefits, are an interesting part of the history of vaping, and can be dirt cheap -- but you'll be able to do everything a regulated that you can on a mech. You'll also be doing it safer...

    Fight Fire With Fire

    While I agree with the gist of what you're saying, I feel like it's unintentionally coming across as an either/or situation rather than "we can't just have research, we have to do the politics or the research won't matter." I wouldn't underestimate/downplay the role of research as a tool in...

    new vaper

    That's great mate, congrats on the successful DIY! And that's a bummer about your work kicking vapers to the curb. I mean yes, you could talk to them about how if all the smokers become vapers productivity and health yadda yadda, but there are still so many social issues to deal with in terms...

    How to steep?

    We're pals mate, you can call me db. :) It can yes, it really depends on the flavorings used and their base. If they're heavily alcohol-based you'll end up muting the flavor. Every eliquid is different -- some will be best right away, some in 2 weeks and some in 2 months, depending on taste...

    My Cole's notes

    Oh! I see the issue, you wanted to talk about an important topic while I made everything about me. In my defense, I usually find myself to be the most interesting topic. And we're in 100% agreement, there's a bit of a wild-west thing in this marketplace as it grows and expands almost...

    !! WARNING !! Kanger Subtank RBA Insulator Dissolving Into my Juice !!! What should I use to make one?

    Well, for the most part it isn't an issue, but in engineering everything has tradeoffs. Insulators in clearomizers are usually a form of rubber or silicone, which each have different strengths in clearomizers. Rubber resists the heat better, but it "holds" flavor more. People use redhots in...
