    kangside s500, have anyone tried it?

    Just got a DPV-50, 6-40watts. To install the battery, you have to remove two screws. I used an IMR Sony VTC-5. Too high of a wattage for my 1.8 ohm iclear 30 with the minimum 6 watts. But I bought it for quad coil use ~22 watts+. Problems are that I can't see the display in direct sunlight and...

    List of Temperature Control Box Mods ?

    Looks like anything that uses the Evolv DNA 40 board. Catch is that you must use nickel 200 wire or it automatically switches out of temperature mode. Note that a number of devices offering temperature protection are referring to board temperature limits and not coil temperature limits. With...

    Got mine on ebay late June. XSmart charger and two vtc5 batteries for $28.19. Seller appears suspended at the moment so they could be fakes. Sun Vapers put pictures of some ebay fakes on How to spot a fake Sony VTC5 battery Mine only matches the fake with the black stamp, ALL other details...

    A word of safety to all mechanical users

    After screwing with gauge and current calculations, I determined I'm over complicating the matter. Stepping back with a fresh look over the information, I should have seen it immediately. If I am correct in assuming, this Mod has an adjustable screw in the 510. If this is too high, it makes no...

    A word of safety to all mechanical users

    My error was carelessly assuming ~32 gauge coil on an iClear 30 without tearing one down and putting a micrometer to it. The following Kanthal A-1 gauges and lengths all equal 2.4ohms: 32gauge@2.198", 30gauge@3.445", 28gauge@5.465", 26gauge@8.701", and 24gauge@13.913". 24gauge being 2 1/2 times...

    Let's make a list of juices/flavors that crack tanks, ce2's/clearos...

    Chips and scratches in tanks are really insignificant for the most part. They're just weak points structurally. Fogging if actually just build up is not an issue either. The issue is why the tanks crack. Certain oils and solvents liberate the plasticisers in the plastic. This makes the tanks...

    Let's make a list of juices/flavors that crack tanks, ce2's/clearos...

    Since tanks do not list the plasticisers and e-juices may not list ingredients compatibility may vary from the list. If tank clouds or cracks then the liquid should be considered contaminated with leached plasticiser and disposed of. Deterioration of the drip tips, coil insulators and seals...

    A word of safety to all mechanical users

    This thread was a fun read. Several people asked the right question but never got an answer. The Mech users demonstration themselves just how dangerous mechs can be even with veteran users that seem to have forgotten the rule "Know your build". There is nothing wrong with the iClear 30 and they...

    HELP! Nemesis burning my hand!

    If you have a dremel, use a wire wheel to clean the inside and outside threads. This will remove all the paint completely. Careful because some of the wheel bristles can fly off. If you step on one, you'll know it, work outdoors is best. Also make sure none stay in the tubes. The wheel will also...

    Hades clone getting REALLY HOT

    Got me curious so I searched around. The spring for the top pin supplies contact tension on the battery without having to bear down on the battery with the cover. When exceeding design specs while sub-ohming the spring heats like an internal heat coil. The solution is to remove the spring and...

    cleaning time!

    I keep a microfiber cloth in my VTR case and never put it away with fingerprints. Also wipe the condensation and residue off the pin when I remove any iClear tank atomizer. Tanks cleaned on coil or juice change.

    Vapping banned at work, but the ignorant statements...

    FDA accepted treatment of job stress. Chain smoke over the counter Marlboros and get cancer or see a Doctor and get medication that makes you go psychotic and kill your co-workers. I think I prefer vaping. Thanks FDA for your wonderful acceptable choices.

    Anything really cool & new out there?

    The Kato PV is a Mechanical Mod. You will need a kick and shorter battery to adjust power. Need to ask Innokin to make a replacement top. I believe the frame can accept up to 22mm dia. Maybe they will make one if enough people ask. I like my ohm meter and voltage/power adjustability on my VTR.

    VTR battery door pops open

    Currently dealing with that issue right now. Possible defect in the manufacture of the door itself. The hook on the door has a beveled edged surface and not a full flat face that meets the catch. Pressure near the hinge moves the door so that the catch moves off the landing and onto the beveled...

    iClear 30S gurgling and low vapor

    Having that issue with a iClear X.1. Similar design other than coil location. iClear X.1 coils at Bottom and 30S has coils at top. Searching online I found that the seals at the coil are made by wick expansion when saturated. Until this saturation, flooding and gurgling can occur. As my coils...

    Compairing Batteries

    I agree, the Sony VTC5 18650 30Amp High Drain Rechargable Battery 2600mAh is the best IMR unprotected battery. The trick is avoiding the counterfeits.
