    First mechanical mod

    If your ohms are fluctuating between 1.1 and 1.3 you might mistakenly think your kick is finicky. Same if your coil keeps shorting out on something repeatedly.

    What wattage should i use ?

    Start low and move up gradually. Knowing the ohms alone does not decide the wattage; Thicker wire needs more watts per ohm Coil wrapping

    First mechanical mod

    If you are using 1.5 ohms on a mech you might as well get yourself a dropin kick module.

    Am I understanding this battery thing right?

    "It seems to me the VCT4 would be safe, but am I missing something? Do I need to find a higher rated battery? Am I just over thinking this?" Yes Maybe: if you need more power, use more batteries. No maybe; but lithium batteries are worth a second thought at least.

    Afraid to vape over 33 watts lol

    It's not so much the wattage to be concerned about, it's the temperature. Get steel coils and use temperature mode.

    Regulated Box Mod vs Unregulated Mods

    what matters most is how many batteries are in the mod. the more batteries, the more power available.

    Coil help

    ouch! $25 to wrap your coils!! That's a lot; on the other hand, if they keep running for months at least, it might not be so bad. But I sure hope you're rewicking yourself!

    Look at these Clapton coils. Stay reddish/orange after dry fire. See pics*

    it was residue from the eliquid. like what you get when you forget your fried egg in the frying pan with the stove on low.

    E-cigarette violently explodes in pocket of Queens woman (yet another battery problem)

    "There was nothing in her pocket. The battery wasn't attached to anything."

    2 question about wire

    1: Yes. 2: Not a good idea. 3: "Or does it depend upon whether or not I'm sub-ohming (going below 1.0 ohm?" Makes no sense. There isn't really anything as 'sub-ohming'. The description 'sub-ohming' really made a little sense when using mech mods running at 4 volts, in which case 'sub-ohming'...

    quench meaning drip water on red hot metal; to get rid of the ash/loosesolidstuffonthemetal

    I think you're not dry burning them enough/properly. Whatever liquid was last used is also going to be on the inside; so when you dry burn, thatstuff on the inside has to be burnt out before everything can get clean. Quench them too.

    TC with 0.3 SS coil

    It's not practical; I think the tcr value would be around 20 (on the evic vtc mini) But the ohm variations you get from other things going on (themal expansion causeing pressure variation on the centerpin contact, and variations in connectivity at the points where the coil legs contact the...

    TC with 0.3 SS coil

    Maybe it's not actually a stainless steel coil.

    Can High VG cause atomizers to become too hot

    My rda gets too hot to touch if I chain vape too much, and thats at 14 watts on a 1.5 ohm twisted 28 gauge coil. Often, the heat on my rda is an indication for me to add some more juice (when the juice runs out the rda gets hotter faster)

    Safe Vaping w mechmods

    Good choice. You would be better off getting a regulated mod, and you can use the velocity on that. Either way, lithium batteries should be handled with care. You might also be able to use a kick module in your mech and get basic protections that way.

    New to the forum- Help and introduction

    1: "is that the reason I cough" Short answer: yes. 2: "will it go away with time" No. If the smok setup makes you cough but the herakles doesn't, you've got some problem with the smok.

    USP glycerin

    Just use a bottle, put about 10% water then fill the rest up with glycerine; or do it the other way around; fill the bottle till it's 90% glycerine then top off the rest with the water. Then use that as your base liquid and you can add to that a small amount of purchased eliquid; that's what I do.

    Wires

    That's just slang right? I don't think there are any temperature control kick modules yet.
