    Salts or Freebase DIY Juice ?

    I believe salt nic is easier on my sinuses. It still is overwhelming in the strengths common now, I use 3-4 mg for my Caliburn and .7 for the dripper. 50 mg is 5%. 50% nicotine is death, unless you mean diluting the eliquid halfway, most of the commercial stuff would be less overflavored that way.

    Is RDA/RTA really that good?

    I love my RDA, but never got a rebuildable tank to work well for long, but then I'm picky about both. The only problem with RDA's is finding a normal, basic one, they're mostly weird, oversized and gimmicky. The small car looks like a lot more fun to drive, the big one to party in, so good...

    Please help if you can MTL

    Sounds like the wick never got fully juiced before trying. That said, I've never been able to build a tank RBA satisfactorily, only drippers and rebuilding EVOD coils.

    I think im going back to regulated mods lol...

    With mechs there is a whole game of getting the right size coil for you that at the same time draws the right amount of power from the battery for that coil to work correctly.

    I need the best. Please.

    Are actually burning out coils? I only get that from the tank going empty (e.g. accidental pocket vaping). Maybe should use temperature control. Most eliquids are incredibly overflavored. I don't think that kind of flavor intensity can be maintained, and it definitely gunks coils rapidly. It's...

    Your fav VG/PG ratio + Nic strength?

    47/53 pg/vg with .7 mg nic, in a RDA at 15 watts. For my Caliburn, usually about 4 mg, but currently using some 35 mg nic salts juice diluted to about 8 which I like but have to be careful with.

    Question about running parallel vs series

    I'd like to know why too, even though I have no interest in that kind of power and suggest small bore drip tips to get total flavor. It would be possible to measure the voltage at the coils to see if they are driven the same, total and coil matching, by the mod. Dry burning would also give some...

    Question about running parallel vs series

    Modern mods have a voltage converter and you only need more batteries for more total power. The same coils in parallel or series should still require the same power to them which draws about the same current from the batteries unless the converter is maxed out. 43A at ,07 ohms would be 129W at...

    Question about running parallel vs series

    If you are using a mechanical mod with straight battery voltage output, or variable voltage, the higher resistance would draw far less power from the battery. With variable power it should automatically adjust voltage to produce the correct power, however it may not be able to output as much...

    Need recommendation for tobacco ejuice with no PG

    Max VG should mean the only PG is from the flavor concentrates. Maybe they're using a lot of flavoring, or something else disagrees with you. I use typically .4% flavoring for high output vaping, more for pocket vapes, but have heard many times of using 7-20%. I have heard of VG-based and...

    Flavors Turning Dark?

    ^^-- I don't have any flavorings less than 2 years old. Am considering throwing out some extracts that were probably made 10 years ago.

    Flavors Turning Dark?

    A dark flavoring can give the juice a good color. While it turning darker is certainly a warning, I'd look at the color of the resulting eliquid. Dark juice often tastes fine on the first drag, but an off-flavor will build up.

    Uwell Caliburn A2 Review

    Looks like they made the button flush with the surface? I've pocket vaped my original version far more than actually used it -- tank after tank of juice, and burnt a couple coils. Currently have a little rubber bumper next to the button which does wonders, but is starting to come loose.

    Can You Build A Subohm Coil for MTL Higher Nic

    There is a historical obsession with resistance/Ohms. When mods were little more than a battery, power flow was determined by resistance. Getting that to work with the actual size of the coil was the trick. With power regulation and converters, power is independent of resistance over a wide...

    Hello, new vape user here

    This is what i would call outdated information, which you will encounter. Modern "salt" based nicotine delivers a faster effect and higher levels are more tolerable. This boosts small devices, becoming popular through the Juul. Conventional, free base nicotine has a strong throat hit and slower...

    Micro-controller and a 12v power supply

    12V 1A is 12 watts. So while it is possible to wind a coil for 12V or use a power converter, this is all the more restrictive. Coil wrapping | Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

    Round wire vs fused Clapton

    If the coils are the same resistance and same metal, the Clapton will have much more surface area. At the same power, either the round should burn juice or the Clapton will be very underpowered. It is not an all-else-equal comparison, it changes several things. If your setup was optimized...

    Could I have bad VG?

    At those power levels, I would recommend starting with 1/10th that much flavoring.

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    Supposedly it's about cost, complexity, and penalties.(?) Sounds like hazmat to me. Or a deliberate choice. Maybe after the dust settles.

    US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

    What I don't understand is that both UPS and FedEx do hazardous materials shipping. I guess e-liquid is more dangerous than explosives.
