    What is the ohms sweet spot/max/min

    I don't have an IPV4, only use mech mods. But if I was going to build it the first time, it would either be dual 22g coils 2mm ID or dual 24g coils 2mm ID. Either with 6-wraps per coil. ohms out to about .14 or .21, respectively. You probably don't need to do that with your regulated mod as...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I think he is just saying that a habit that consumes the mind to the point where its the first thing you think of before you go anywhere, are thinking about it constantly, take multiple extras just in case, and try to use it even in situations/places where it is difficult or could have negative...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I almost vented a battery once in the Dimiri. I was at a pub showing it off and I put one of the batteries in backwards, creating a hard short. I didn't even notice it until about 20 seconds later. They were hot enough to melt the wrappers. As for the CB, Bad Ninja is right. The design is...

    Coils aren't lasting!

    I liked the story. I guess it certainly can work for some people, even those who don't care about quitting smoking.

    Coils aren't lasting!

    Exactly. You have perfectly reiterated my point. This is about putting smoking behind us. That is the main reason we do it. ETA: in other words, why be disappointed when spending money on coil packs? You are putting smoking behind you. This is cause for celebration. Unless putting smoking...

    Coils aren't lasting!

    All I'm saying is that if saving money is the main purpose of vaping, then why not just grow your own tobacco and roll it yourself? You will save a ton of money. If you want to spend less money vaping, you could get a rebuildable, like most of the members here use. And you could DIY your own...

    Coils aren't lasting!

    Yes, I was serious. And I'll say it again: Vaping should be about doing something that will improve your life. It should be about freeing yourself from the carcinogens of tobacco. It should be about experiencing far greater choices, far greater flavors, far more vocal community. If these...

    Coils aren't lasting!

    Although it is definitly possible to save money vaping, I dont think thats a good reason to be vaping. It certainly is going to be hard saving money using store bought juice and packaged pre-made coil/wick packs. You could upgrade your gear snd start rebuilding/diy, but thats not for everyone...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    Anything can form an addiction. But when something becomes compulsive and habitual to a large group of people, then that something is addictive.

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    its not a bug because it was intended to work this way. If they made the box plastic, it wouldn't be the same. If they ran a wire from the switch, it wouldn't be the same. The basic needed protections were designed as a dual insulator design above and below the atomizer connection. Just...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    Its not really a fair comparison since my CB is copper, but I did just test it using a .07 ohm test build. Dimitri had voltage drop of 1.11 volts. CB had voltage drop of .44 volts. This is using the same batteries and same atomizer on both mods.

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    The copper contacts are shorter and larger. I guess its easiest to explain if you are familiar with the Dimitri mechanical box, which is similar. The Dimitri is a positive-switched aluminum box that hits hard too, but it requires the current from the batteries to use a longer distance of...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    The feature is that the thing hits like a beast. Its an acceptable trade-off for a cloud-chasing enthusiast. Its kind of like have a supercar that weighs less than any other car ever made. The thing will kill you if you try to crash it, but the trade-off is that its also way faster than the...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    lol. the way to short a cherry bomber has been known since the device first came out months ago. Most interested and experienced vapers still bought the mod... because its awesome. The way it works is an aspect of the design. They designed it that way to hit really ....ing hard. The...

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    Most mech mods will self-fire if there is a small tear in the battery wrapper. There is no warning for this either. But people who buy this kind of device should know.

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I guarantee that when MCV designed this mod, they knew exactly how it would work and exactly how it could possibly be shorted with something metal. Its obvious how the device works. It is not a design flaw. It was intentionally designed this way.

    PSA: Cherry Bomber mech box mod is just that.. A bomb. Do not use.

    I love my cherry bomber. Its full copper. The heaviest mod that I own. It wouldn't self fire if I put it in my pocket, but I would never put one of my nice copper mech mods in my pocket with other metal things anyway. Who does that? It's metal, copper even. I don't want to scratch up the...

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    But there is no problem here. I want a specific legal drug. And I want to inhale it in my lungs, not eat it or absorb it through my skin. It's addictive but doesn't motivate me to rob/steal/harm others in any way. And it doesn't pose any significant known health risk. So why is this even an...

    My custom wrapped batteries

    That first one doesn't look right either. I think it would cause some of my mech mods to self-fire.

    Nicotine less addictive via vaping then smoking?

    I agree we need to stop FDA from destroying our pastime. I just don't think that arguing against nicotine being a drug or being addictive is going to be successful way to prevent regulation. I think the hand to mouth thing that you crave is because you have associated it with the positive...
