    As a never-smoker, I'm really liking e-cigs

    Exactly. And, with or without nicotine, I don't think developing a vaping habit is something to be embarrassed about. Nor is it something that we need to prevent never-smokers from trying. Why be ashamed that some never-smoker found a much more healthy way to enjoy a wonderful pastime that you...

    As a never-smoker, I'm really liking e-cigs

    IMO, nicotine is good. It feels good. It helps prevent serious neurological diseases. And it is safe. This is not something enjoyable only for former smokers, it's available for everyone. Caffeine is good too. It feels good. It helps me wake up in the morning. It increases stamina. It...

    As a never-smoker, I'm really liking e-cigs

    And I think nicotine is great. Adults who want to enjoy this safe legal drug should, because it feels good. It doesn't matter that it is habit forming. A lot of things are habit forming. Nicotine is not hurting anybody.

    Premium vs budget E juice

    I've got an El Cabron, which is a very similar RDA. This thing is made for a lot of power, but you can make it work with what you have. I would do it with 24g kanthal, dual coils, six wraps each, around a 2mm screwdriver. This will hit your target resistance and will work at 60 watts.

    Premium vs budget E juice

    It's quite easy to do. Your coils will last much longer. The juice will taste much better. The wattage required depends on how many coils and the wire gauge you are using. TBH, I drip and drive every day. I can do it without even taking my hands off the steering wheel. I just hold my mod in...

    Premium vs budget E juice

    You really need an RDA to get the full flavors. And anything above 3mg nicotine and the nicotine will be destroying the juice flavors, so might as well just get the cheapest high nicotine juice you can find.... it all just tastes like nicotine anyway. But, if you are vaping 3mg on an RDA, there...

    Where do you order your vape juice from and what flavor?

    I order from a ton of places and sometimes get locally too. High nicotine destroys the flavors of most juices. If you vape 3mg, these are some of my favorite juices: ANML - looper Epic Juice - Banilla Fogboss - Bobby Two Fingers Brewell Vapory - Brew #88 Traditional - Indian Giver Potion Vape...

    RDA Characteristics of "flavor" attys

    It's a unique design, but not my style at all. It is difficult to build and designed for lower power single coils. I wish it had room to do more, and a wide-bore tip.

    Best mod for under £90

    This is a subjective question. IMO, a copper mechanical. But I guess it depends on how you plan on using it.

    New to Vaping. Need help with RDA Basics

    No, you got the wrong thing. Look at the links in Susan's post on the previous page. Or just get one of the batteries already mentioned. You really have to be into this whole vaping thing if you are using mechs and RDAs. It really has to be something that you enjoy reading about, enjoy...

    Broken Button On Mechanical Box Mod

    Post a picture. If it is 3D printed plastic, how is it mechanical? How does the current flow?

    New to Vaping. Need help with RDA Basics

    Those batteries are garbage. Very dangerous for any mod. You need high discharge batteries like Samsung 25R, Sony VTC series, LG HE2, LG HE4.

    RDA Characteristics of "flavor" attys

    @Mad Scientist makes a good point. Or you could do it with 24 gauge parallel strands. That would be able to more perfectly align with the direct airflow. This is a parallel 24g build that I use in my Mephisto v2: 6-wraps per coil, parallel 24g wires. This is huge flavor and would work...

    RDA Characteristics of "flavor" attys

    Well with four 24g coils around 2mm, you should try maybe 5 wraps each so that they all heat up fast. It is going to be a low resistance, but you know what you are doing. Just be careful with your builds/gear. Some people here think a build like this is crazy to recommend, but I have coil...

    RDA Characteristics of "flavor" attys

    If you have 22g kanthal, you should definitely try it. It would work with 22g nichrome too, except with 8 wraps per coil. If I was going to build it with 24g, I would probably do four coils, which would end up at a bit lower resistance, but I imagine that would work well too. But, as for...

    I don't think you can put a clone in the classifieds here, but you should PM the OP. I've got a fasttech Cartel that works great.

    RDA Characteristics of "flavor" attys

    I've got a samurai bonzai, a tugboat slam cap, a hastur, and a few other smaller chamber RDAs. I think that the Velocity is comparable... and it certainly is much easier to build and adjust airflow. My smaller RDAs will spit up juice if I overdrip slightly too much. The Velocity is a smooth...

    Questions about mods.

    I use an Efest LUC v4 to charge my batteries. It works great. I have heard that the XTAR VP series chargers are excellent also, but I haven't used them. The copper is going to hit harder. I don't know much about the overall quality of the aluminum, since I don't own one. With angelcigs...
