    spaced vs compressed coils

    usually a short happens when an end of the coil is touching either the negative or positive post or is touching the metal part of the inner barrel. The coil build must always sit either over a flow inlet (if the rda has one like the Freakshow RDA) or sit a mm or so away from the post yet enough...

    spaced vs compressed coils

    When you place the Japanese cotton inside the coil, clip the wick so the ends are absolutely flush with the deck, do not tuck the wick...of course it also depends on the inner diameter coil which you used, for example, if you used a 1.5 mm IDC it may harder for newbies to wick the coil, but if...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    A joule is one watt for one second. For example, 50 joules could be 5 watts for 10 seconds or 10 watts for 5 seconds or 50 watts for 1 second. The more joules the more the device tries to output to the coil. A joule is passing an electric current of 1 amp through a resistance of 1 ohm for 1...

    IStick 30w Frustrations

    My advice on the KangerTech Subtank Mini for the 30 watt istick, please trash the pre-coil build and any silica wick you get with the tank. Absolutely no good. Buy some Kanthal A1 28 gauge (I have the 26 gauge in mine but it may be hard for a newbie to work with on such a tiny deck) also get...

    If I let a ejuice air out for 2 days will I lose Nicotine?

    There are so many ways to steep people will tell you...but the easiest and most best way to do so is just buy the juice, stick the juice in a cupboard or a dark place, let it sit for 2 weeks, then vape. If it requires more steeping time, then let it sit in the dark for another 2 weeks. My best...

    Juice flavor

    Taste, for the most part, is subjective. Of course most advanced vapors can tell by smell and/or taste if an e liquid is not up to par or if it requires steeping. Perfumery, waxy, chemically tasting e juices either require more steeping time or is just a bad batch and needs to be thrown out...

    spaced vs compressed coils

    Tip: much easier to compress the wires on 24 gauge and lower than 26 and over. Compressing the coil(s) makes for more of an even burn or the coil(s) heat up faster. Plus the resistance will read much lower on the ohm tester if the coil(s) are compressed.

    Reliable safe vendors for atomizers, coils etc

    88eVape, Vapor DNA, Sweet Vapes, VSpot Vapes, Vape NW, all are reliable reputable vendors. Purchase only from Focal Ecig, Fasttech and the like for accessories like cotton, wire, tools, etc...best stay away from these types of vendors for atomizers/RDA(s), mech mods etc. Highly susceptible to...

    IStick 30w Frustrations

    I agree with the other members, Evod tank is best suited for the Twister batteries. eleaf istick 30 is a minature device really serving the sub ohm community. 30 watt sits between the 20 watt (no sub ohm) and the 50 watt (sub ohm). So absolutely, it's time to upgrade your tank, my best advice is...

    What am I doing wrong with my coil build?

    At 26 GA Kanthal A1 dual coil build with a 0.2 sub ohm, inner diameter coil anywhere from 1.5mm to 3.0mm, with 3 or 4 full wraps, you shouldn't be getting a hot vape. In fact, you should be getting a pretty cool vape. In your build, the heat capacity of each coil is 14.94 mJ K-1 (small...

    Throat is killing me!!!! Quit smoking three months ago and spent to much on hardware to go back. Trying to cut out PG but need help on mixing recipe.

    Could be a low grade nicotine...question: how much mg of nicotine are you using? And are you using a RDA or a tank? Because you are using a high nicotine level, say above 6 mg and a RDA your throat and lungs will be in a mess. My best advice is: switch e juice manufacturers, cut the nicotine...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    I already own the Yihi SX Mini M Class SX 350 (I am on a waiting list at Vspot Vapes for the 350J). For any serious vapor, this device is an absolute must have. I have the Vapor Shark rDNA 40 yet I have found that the Yihi 350 outperforms the Vapor Shark on all levels especially the temperature...

    Clone Versus Authentic Discussion

    Clones are cool but we must always remember that a clone will have blemishes like tilted center posts, metal flaking, screws that may not sit well or stripped easily, machine oil etc (of course authentics are not perfect but they are nearly so). I bought the El Cabron Slick about 6 weeks...

    How many ohms should i buy?

    The member wanted "good vapor production"...1.0 and 2.0 ohm is fine, I agree...but good vapor production? 0.8 if his device can handle it should give him/her plenty "good vapor production"...I would think more so than 2.0. I do agree 1.0 would be a good place too. But 2.0, yikes!

    How many ohms should i buy?

    I am no troll...I consider myself an advanced vapor. So tell us Signmaker, what's your definitive answer to his question regarding pre-made coil builds and/or any suggestions?

    Charging istick 50w question..

    I agree with the one member, best not to let the battery completely die if though the device will lock before it harms the battery. A battery shouldn't go below 3.6 volts or else you will shorten the life of the battery. And it's a good habit to get into because when you step up to the...

    2nd hand vapor

    According to the link provided "The study only focused on measuring data on the vapor emitted by devices themselves. They did not conduct any research on the biological impact of vaping such as its effect on the respiratory system." When it comes down to it, unless it is contrary to law, it is...
