    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    I finally did it, but didn't know it. Sucked the bottom out of a tank, the Erl with 6ml of CAP Vanilla Custard on the DNA 40--just huffin' along and then...temp protection flaring up and vapor squeaking out. I thought the coil had gone, but I opened it up and there wasn't even smell left in...

    Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year is ‘vape’

    I just heard on the radio (NPR). We're now mainstream! Vape apparently was used this year in discussion, mostly in the context of discussion of it's merits and derisive content to such a degree that it became 'word of the year' in OED. Well, that makes me feel proud to be a part of the...

    do you vape until the tank is empty

    Not a problem vaping the Erlkonigin down to the dregs, and since I went to the Vapor Flask DNA 40, the juice doesn't cook in the tank and get dark. Every day gets better.

    Should I look into rebuildable coils?

    I like Zeus juice, too. They do seem to have an awful lot of 'sweet' to them, especially Aphrodite's Affair. I had the same issues as you when I used a Nautilus, began rebuilding and experimenting with coil and wick. Although Rayon wick allowed good transport, I still get more coil build-up...

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    BTW, I'm wicking LESS with this build, more like a 'tickle' than a 'snuggle', 2.3mm/28g Ni200/10 wrap/0.14 ohm/spaced/420F/17w. Nice and warm, no temp protected errors. No initial coil burn. Popped 'hot' to start with, then settled down nicely. I love my Vapor Flask!

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    I think of the TC question more like cooking on a campfire or using the stove at home. Albeit a stove that turns into a heating element and becomes 420F immediately! Next best step upward since Rayon, for sure.

    Should vendors pre-steep their e-liquid?

    Occasionally I buy juice from a vendor as a treat, or it sounds "interesting". I DIY most of my juice, and cook 100 ml at a time, with several flavors to choose from. That gives me time to allow the "premium" juice to mellow if required. I've had juice delicious on arrival, but it's a crapshoot.

    sorta a new member comming along.

    Good to know that there is a shop where they understand that taking a little time up front with a customer brings rewards later. I've read so many posts from members who found shops to be disinterested and uninformed--and that may be the norm for service industries, but vaping comes with...

    got a cold, and a question

    Just a thought, Andria, it might be helpful to get an actual vaporizer, and set up a "vape room", see if that helps.

    Caffeine.

    God love you all!! The four basic food groups: Caffeine, Nicotine, Carbohydrates, and Preservatives. Whe know them, we love them. Without them, life would be a sentence. I'm actually looking at (speaking of shiny things) a Behmor 1600 coffee roaster...OH, yeah, taking it up a step! PS you...

    Steeping - Is 2 weeks the magic number?

    I saw an interview by the woman who runs Suicide Bunny. She found a bottle of some of her favorite juice behind a cabinet--6 months old at least--and said it was still getting better! I have Capella's CFB in my atty right now at least 7 mos old, and it took 4 months before it was any good at all.

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    i found it under "Basic Ni200 microcoil builds for DNA 40" and yes, there is slight discoloration on my rayon after 5 tanks in my Erlkonigin, and minimal buildup on the coil...still the best thing that I've ever imagined! I just got some titanium 28g from GG and rolled a 1.1 ohm microcoil for...

    dual 18650 mods and batteries

    No. You shouldn't use mismatched batteries as they have different discharge rates, different voltages, different chemistry...and you're going to put them into your shiny, expensive new mod and suck it 3 inches from your face, because--why?

    Longest Lasting 18650?

    ...And how much you use it--length of and number of hits. I got a day out of efest 3100's in a Chana 30w and I vape at 1.2 ohms at 8.5 watts, and 3 days on my Vapor Flask DNA 40 at 0.2 ohms and 17 watts. That's 2 VTC5's. I use Panasonic PDs in my mechs becaus I like the discharge profile...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    I'm using about the same coil as this in my Erlkonigin. Inspecting my contact coil first attempt suggested the same findings as jsx. I found a great video on youtube showing a method of: 1) set temp control off on new build, 2) set watts at 13w and softly heat coil, 3) compress coil, reset...
