    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I've bought Everclear here many times, (when I was younger I should say) but this will be the fist time for cleaning. You do have to ask the clerk for it, as they keep it behind the counter. It's here, you just have to look/ask for it. We've got a couple strange laws, State liquor stores being...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I'm not very good with spaced coils, mostly because I've always had such great luck with contact coils using Kanthal that's all I use. So does it matter if the winds are spaced further or closer together, to get them to work well, or do they need to be just evenly spaced? I guess in tight areas...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    Looks like I'll be making a quick trip to the liquor store. I was testing some different nickel builds last night, and it doesn't take much heat to destroy a nickel contact coil as you know. They deform super easy and super fast. I'm currently using a 28ga contact coil that I fired just once...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I've built a few coils so far, spaced, twisted, contact; each coil has preformed OK but nothing I've been super impressed with yet. But this is certainly a testing period to see what works. When I was wrapping some of my nickel I noticed a little grim or something on it, not much but it was...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    I did my second nickel build today. This time I tried twisted 30 gauge non contact coil. I was expecting to see the new coil message but it ended up being the same resistance as my last coil, . 12ohm. My twists were quite tight. I'm not getting the vapor production I was with the last one but...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Because I like a warmer, thicker vape; which I get with higher watts. And it was hitting TP much quicker than I thought it would, The Russian 2.0 has a much more open draw versus the 91% or the Kayfun lights. I have the airflow screw removed on my 91 and the draw isn't anywhere near as open as...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    I'm using a Russian 2.0. I made sure my leads were securely tightened, and there in there good. But its always a challenge because the screws are so small. I must have a hot spot somewhere as I hit TP fairly quickly at higher wattage. It's running good at where it's at. I was just wanting to...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    I received my VaporFlask a couple days ago but didn't have any Nickel; well I finally got that in the mail today and did my first nickel build. Being my first build, I realize I have a lot to learn as I try to evaluate my first try. I debated on whether to do a contact or spaced coil. I...

    Vapor Flask

    I ordered mine as soon as I got notified from Vaperev they had them back in Stock, and after watching a YouTube video with one of the owners of VaporFlask last night, it was just recently recorded (Plumes of Hazzard), he said they had tried addressing the size of the tubes, but had several...

    Vapor Flask

    I received my VaporFlask yesterday and it's already my favorite device. Couldn't put it down all night. I bought the 30amp Sony's at the same time, and as I was waiting for them to charge up I thought I would see if my Samsung INR18650-25R would possibly fit. I tried the battery tube directly...

    First Time RBA - Kayfun Lite Clone

    I've built 4 coils now, using 28ga Kanthal and 9 wraps around a 5/64 bit gives me about 1.5ohm coil. They're still not as pretty as the ones I see around here, but with each one I build it gets a little better. If you have a good regulated device with a good board, like a DNA or something...

    Made the leap, my first RBA

    Thanks for the replies. I was thinking less, but when I re-wick it in a bit I'll try a tad more cotton and see how it works. With everything being so small it's hard to determine what's too much and what isn't.

    Made the leap, my first RBA

    I built my first micro coil for my Russian 91% last night and my biggest fear was going to be dry hits or scorching my cotton and have bad flavor. I've been vaping since last night and have none of that but.... I'm getting good vapor and flavor so it must be wicking okay but it sounds so much...

    First Time RBA - Kayfun Lite Clone

    I did exactly what you are doing. I watched all sorts of rebuilding videos to prepare for my first build when I finally received my Russian 91%. I got it last night and did my first build today. OMG everything looks so much bigger on TV. I was surprised when I saw how small the build deck was...

    Provari 3 battery life indicator inaccurate???

    I asked the same question a week ago or so, as the P3 is my first Provari. I had remembered reading somewhere about the blinking when the battery was low. I guess that was/is a feature of the other Provaris' and not the P3. I guess it's not really needed since our remaining battery is always...

    Has anyone else tried the New Aspire Nautilus Mini BVC? Your thoughts...

    I have no issue recommending the Nautilus family of tanks to a novice. I was still a novice vapor when I first tried the Nautilus Mini, and really I still am a novice compared to many on this forum ;) But for me just following a couple simple steps has made a huge difference in these...

    Innokin iTaste SVD 2.0

    If you hear of when or where, I'd like to know too because I haven't been able to find a 18500 tube section either.

    NEW Beyond Vape Silo Tank (BVC)

    I'm definitely no pro vapor either; but on my quest to find what cleros work best for me, I've found no other tanks that work as well as the Aspire BVC tanks. And of course the Silo too. However, I don't use the glass tanks as I've replaced both the mini and the full size Nautilus tanks with...

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

    I'm in complete agreement, except about my expectations being too high. We all have high expectations are we wouldn't be using a Provari. [emoji6]

    NEW Beyond Vape Silo Tank (BVC)

    That's strange, and too bad because it is an excellent tank. If you're not getting any vapor, are the wicks getting saturated, or is it burning your wicks? Did you have the same issue with the first Silo you had?
