    Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?

    Without saying a wire gauge, that coil could be tiny or the size of your fist. With a regulated mod with a known good Kanthal coil, you can just make the exact same coil just use SS wire, and use the exact same power setting. The resistance of a 1.4 ohm would drop to maybe .8, but otherwise no...

    Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?

    Actually I'm getting, on steam engine, it would be close to go from 7 wraps #30 Kanthal to 9 wraps #32 SS316. The #32 might even wrap on silica similarly. I did have in mind, talking about SS and mechs, more someone that would be using thick, slow Kanthal. There are those that claim to MTL using...

    Thinking of trying an RTA no experience building

    How do you run it? I tried something like a 12 watt build but it's too hot and spitty to go over maybe 8 watts and I'm thinking about retrying with a target of 5-7 W. Small chamber and short air path seemed like a good idea but the coil almost touches the drip tip and is aimed right up it. (I...

    Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?

    It definitely is good for regular dripping, no more horrendous dry hits. I can also set the power 10-15% higher over a cautious power mode setting. I use 400 deg. F and it rarely hits it. MTL is less reliant on airflow for cooling, so I wouldn't expect it to help as much, but there are also...

    Honolulu passes Bill making it illegal on Oahu to smoke OR Vape in vehicles w/children are inside.

    When I flew, I had to put that air nozzle pointed right at me or I felt sick the whole time. The smell of tobacco smoke has strong effects. I finally started smoking because of being surrounded by smokers. I hated it, but so many of my friends smoked. If I had insisted they smoke outside, we...

    Lost in the valley of vaporizers...help!

    One thing about setting the V2 so high is whether this is indicating you could have the same issue with another unit or if it indicates you need a higher output device. When you first turn it up, it may seem a lot better, but as you're seeing performance degrades rapidly. You can't do that with...

    Help me with rebuild aspire ready coile please

    If you look at the original BVC coils, they use wires with non-resistance leads and the junction is down within the coil itself, the last wrap on each end is not heating and just acts to form the cotton, and the junctions between the insulator and the legs are also not heating. The NR wire will...

    Probably a total noob question but here goes..

    With a mech, in practical terms it's pretty simple. If it feels like you need to turn up the power with a coil, remove a wrap (on the next coil, or however you want to do it). This results in a slightly smaller coil and more power flowing through it. Or vice versa. But for a different experience...

    Need Recommendation For Small MTL Device

    Not a NET (that I see there). The ONLY connection between NETs and WTAs is they are both extracted from tobacco by small companies. NET is a flavor extract with no significant nicotine, while WTA is a cruder type of nicotine extraction that may have a slight residual tobacco flavor. Also, the...

    What is the absolute best flavoring concentrate company?

    I've been at it over a year and no not everyone can make anything as good as what's out there. In fact I know I could make slightly better juice if I stopped vaping except to test flavors, but what would be the point of that unless I want to sell them? We can all make very good flavors and I...

    Need Recommendation For Small MTL Device

    I used Goodejuice NETs in a single coil EVOD w/cotton wick, you have to baby them but they can have great taste and I never had unusual gunk issues. The Black Note stuff is expensive but also clean. The MVJ (OOP) extracts were gunky though. They recommended 25-30% extract, I use less than 10%...

    Recommendations for an old school vaper

    I'm using a clone of the original D o g e with a narrow bore, very generic oldskool drip tip. The funny thing is these were labeled as "competition" atomizers but now are as mid-range and generic as you can get. However, of the many generic RDAs I've looked at since, few if any have this...

    Recommend a good small secondary device.

    I just got a version of the Vaporesso Drizzle and am liking it, which is unusual. Was looking for something a bit better than my old collection of single coil EVOD/mini Protank 2 pocket carry stuff. Went in Avail after seeing the MyJet marked down and walked out with their Avail Express X kit by...

    Tablets and e-readers

    Like my 7" Samsung, probably a lesser older version but still a noticable upgrade on everything over my old one and it was about as cheap as you can get. I get most of my books through the library, so browsing their site on the device is far preferable.

    FDA Scott Gottlieb etc Discuss "The Regulation of Nicotine" Webcast 1PM 10/19/17

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of how it could be a good thing to limit information such as tar and nicotine measurements or how they would have the right to restrict the publication of information. This is completely irrespective of any difference of risk. Moreover, it did not...

    Juice for high power vaping

    My theory is this: at extremely low power, say 5 watts for an old pen or maybe even less with some cigalikes, flavoring is controlled by the juice and the limited amounts of vapor. Once the vapor quantity becomes a little more substantial, 15 watts if efficient, you're using enough juice that...

    Ohms too low

    If he's willing to vape 1 coil at higher power than when using 2, I doubt a slight mismatch would be a problem, even though it would be on a better tuned system. However I think he just found out how close to the mod limits he was running.

    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    My comment about airflow through the 510 was a bit reaching. I've barely ever used them although I do use eGo threads type tanks with bottom airflow. Some moistness down there is pretty much the norm. I've had to fix a few including resolder wires when the battery unit comes apart. While...

    Any shake and vape tobacco recipe?

    Actually Soho is the first tobacco I'm finding really essential to steep. Initially the maple syrup flavor note was overwhelming -- the flavoring smells just like Hangsen Highway -- which mellowed after a week but still didn't taste that good. After 2 weeks I'm really liking it. I guess it was...

    are the manufactuers using sub par parts?

    Getting ejuice in the 510 connector is NORMAL and any mod that can't handle that is junk. I'll overdrip and end up with ejuice running down the side and everywhere or just completely fill the space between the atty and the mod, wipe out the excess not even clean the actual connector for a few...
