    Experiences with the Smoktech Magnetic Bolt?

    I got a plain Bolt from Fasttech. I figured it would work with a 1.1ohm atty on it, but it only lasted a day then no longer worked. I cant figure it out since a multimeter shows that it produces the full battery voltage, and the switch works, but it no longer fires an atty.

    Plume Veil by Acerig VS Magma by Infinite?

    I would be interested in getting a Plume Veil in black if the threads were not painted. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. I have a Magma (in black) and love it due to the air flow, flavor, and capacity, but I had to wire wheel the threads since the shell would get about 500 degrees...

    RDA with biggest e-liquid well?

    I am getting a lot more than that, but adding 20 drops of juice at a time when it gets dry. I use a single (0.8o) coil with a long cotton wick which runs to the bottom of the well. and then pack with loose cotton to the top of the well. It holds a good bit of liquid without leaking.

    Looking for all-black Nemesis clone without painted threads

    I would like to purchase a Nemesis clone in solid black including the button. I have not found one without painted threads. I have a Fasttech black neme clone with bare threads (sku 1736802), but the air ring on top and the button on bottom are both silver and I would prefer one all black. Does...

    5 Crappy mechanical mods I own, and 2 decent ones

    Thanks for all the input. I revised the original copy. I didn't want to disparage the neme clones since they do work so well without the beauty rings, and are surely among the best values in mech clones.

    HELP! Nemesis burning my hand!

    Since the body of the mod is the return for the battery ground, any paint over threads will cause arcing, which will burn or shock you. Plain steel wool is probably not sufficient to clean the threads if the paint is good. You need a dremel with a wire wheel brush, and even then it will take a...

    5 Crappy mechanical mods I own, and 2 decent ones

    I am a dummy. I never noticed the beauty ring on my black Nemesis- the finish is so good and so seamless it was invisible. My stainless one is on loan so I could not check on it. I took off the beauty ring and made a couple small adjustments, and could leave the bottom terminal screw tight, and...

    5 Crappy mechanical mods I own, and 2 decent ones

    Crappy Mechanical Mods (and the prices I paid for them including shipping) These are the mods I own with my observations. Note that there are many manufacturers of the same mods and others may not have the same problems mine do. The color of the mod may also play a factor, as explained below...

    Best 18650 batteries for Nemesis Mech Mod and also iTaste VTR?

    I could not find any better place to post this, but it might be at least a bit relevant. I have two Nemesis clones and neither will work with my regular flat top 18650 batteries (LG 2600s, Efest 2500 purples, and Panasonic 2900s). The clones are slightly too long. I can screw out the top and...

    Experiences with the Smoktech Magnetic Bolt?

    Update on my magnet bolt purchased only two weeks ago. It needs a new switch since I did not realize that it has but tiny wires attached to the low amp switch and can't handle sub-ohm (0.8ohm) builds since I think it is only rated for around 3 amps. I guess I was expecting it to have the same...

    Nemesis Switch Help

    My nemesis clone drove me crazy when I was trying to use an 18650 in it. To use one, I had to loosen the top and bottom screw terminals almost all the way so the battery would make contact on the top and the bottom. But when you loosen the bottom screw more than a small amount, it allows the...

    Experiences with the Smoktech Magnetic Bolt?

    I got a magnetic Bolt and I am very impressed. It works and looks great. I got one since I prefer a side button over a bottom button, and the button itself works well and feels substantial. I also got it since it is one of the few painted metal mods, and I don't like to hold bare metal in my...

    Johnson Creek Addict

    I have not used JC juice for years until I recently got a sampler pack. In the past, I used 510 LR attys and dripped and all the JC juices seemed to clog attys so fast I could not use it. At the time I loved the JC Original and liked TN Cured a lot. I recently got into RDAs, which do not clog...

    Drip Tip Inquiries

    I also dislike metal drip tips. Cannot stand the taste, even of the stainless ones. I like delrin the best. I am looking for a wide bore delrin tip for dripping, but don't want a stubby one. I want one that stands about the same height as a standard delrin tip (at least 1" in addition to the...

    3400 mah 18650 Panasonic Orbtronic Good?

    According to the battery specs, it should be okay since they say the overamp protection kicks in at 10 to 12A, and the Vamo is current limited to 5A. As others have mentioned, there are other batteries that are better designed for high current draw and they are cheaper anyway. However, I...

    E-liquid for mods

    Thanks again for everyone's help. I am now using a single 1.8 coil with cotton wick and that works fine for both my unregulated mods and VV batts with any type of juice. I also got a mini Smok RDA (single coil), which only has a single small hole so the draw is not too airy, and this helps, too...

    E-liquid for mods

    Thanks for the suggestions. I am going to build some coils with higher resistance and give them a try. I typically use 12mg juice. The main reason I like dripping is to be able to change flavors often (and will drip one over the other) and like having an atty that doesn't clog and is easy to...

    E-liquid for mods

    Sorry if this is more of a question for the mod section - it seemed more appropriate here. I can inhale huge clouds of vapor with "normal" atomizers, tanks, clearos, cartos, etc, with any type of juice at any normal voltage. I have a couple of mod clones - a nemesis with patriot rda, and a...

    iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group: Compiled List of Tips

    I recently got an MVP shine (it was the only one left on sale) and none of my EVODs work with it - they don't appear to make center contact. Am I doing something wrong, or do I need a 510 to 510 adapter so it makes contact?

    Experiences with the Smoktech Magnetic Bolt?

    How does this accommodate different sizes of 18650? I have a few Orbtronic 3400 protected (for flashlights) which are large and won't fit in my nemesis clone (even though it will accept an Eageletac 3400) and was wondering if the Bolt could handle something this large.
