    I can JUUL for a month and quit cold turkey

    Nicotine is the most important chemical out of up to 7000 chemicals in tobacco but is not very satisfying or addictive by itself. Most of the other important ones occur naturally, if only it was as easy as avoiding Big Tobacco... There's no point in the Juul or other vape if you don't smoke any...

    Proper setup for Nic Salts.

    If you click that link, you'll see I did. Your original choice wasn't a huuge coil, but demonstrated his request was not actually descriptive (in dual coil it's would be really close to what he's using already). Still, I would have been better off starting with my second post. ;) Another saying...

    Proper setup for Nic Salts.

    ^^-- That is a decent source for coils though. These options would be close to mine for 14-16W single coil: 10 Pack Regular Coils 316L SS but you might want 3mm for a tank, with fewer wraps.

    Proper setup for Nic Salts.

    "currently I am vapeing at 17 watts. any higher the vapor gets so hot I cant inhale it." -- what is probably happening is at that power the coil takes too long to heat up and just heats up everything instead of just instantly producing vapor. Try closer to its recommended settings, IF everything...

    Proper setup for Nic Salts.

    Why do you think you need 1-1.5 ohm coils? The ones Letitia linked are over twice the size of the .7 I use, good for 25-30 watts each. With a modern mod, the resistance itself doesn't particularly matter, what matters is how big is the coil (mainly its surface area). And if you did care about...

    Ridiculously over-rated mods

    ^^-- well Nickel TC wouldn't work for sure. I think they're going the wrong way. We need 40 watts single cell mods and 80 watt dual cell ones that are safe on a wider range of cells. I hope there's a safety power limit nicely buried in the menu to make it harder to accidentally dial up full...

    Need help in DIY my eliquid

    Actually most flavorings are closer to 45 drops per ml, some are over 50, but then those saying 20-25 also usually say use a lot of flavoring. I'd start by making a bottle of vanilla juice and one of caramel, you can see what you think of each flavor or mix them freely in the tank or whatever...

    Mechs ohm laws wire choice is over whelming

    Well there is an experimental method for mechs that in the end you have to use somewhat anyway. Of course always test your coil before putting it on a mech. So you still need Ohm's and Watt's laws. It is: If the coil runs too hot, add a wrap and try again. That will increase the resistance --...

    Mechs ohm laws wire choice is over whelming

    Heat flux is simply the power divided by the surface area of the coil. Surface area is the best single measure of how big the coil is, basically the "window" the heat has to pass through to get back out. You don't need to calculate it to know that more power same size coil, or same power smaller...

    Mechs ohm laws wire choice is over whelming

    Thicker wire is slower in a "fair" comparison, it's simple geometry. If the heat flux is the same, it will be slower. It can be set up (ignoring safety a moment) for more heat flux, that is more power to less surface area, and then will heat up fast but tend to overheat on longer drags. If the...

    I fixed it! Still concerned.

    The manufacturer recommended battery is 25 amp. The first Pico I got I returned, it would lock up when the battery got low. This could be a related issue, the processor having trouble at low voltages, although my symptom was worse in a sense.

    Smoking 5 cigarettes a day

    In my estimation, cutting down that much greatly deceases your chance of dying from it, but it is still likely to have some effects. If it is so much more satisfying and you are an unusual person who can stick to it, it does make some sense, though being more harmful than vaping. I took 9...

    What should my watts be at?!

    Without more information about the coils etc. other than resistance, we don't really know near enough to give a setting. It's a fair guess it's not very efficient though. With a regulated mod, follow all the manufacturer's specs and requirements, it's that simple.

    vuse flavor?

    I thought everyone hated the things. I wasn't impressed with the flavor per se but a lot of it is the 50 mg nicotine. Sort of a chocolate/licorice barely tobacco, faint under a nicotine throat hit like a truck.

    Mechs ohm laws wire choice is over whelming

    RE the subject line, actually wire choice is far more limited with a mech for a particular goal because only one gauge and wire length (wraps/dia.) for each wire type (composition and fanciness) will provide optimum results towards that goal. Regulated has a huge number of choices because it...

    Doctor's Opinions On Vaping

    I was more bothered by uninformed doctors when I first heard of it. But if I was getting surgery, original or diverse thought would be less important than them doing what they have learned.

    Do you still crave/like the smell of real cigarettes since switching ?

    "Still"? I never once liked the smell of secondhand smoke until after I quit, and even that is rare.
