    Have you tested them with your DMM?

    Why isn't a mech for me?

    I've hinted at this question elsewhere tonight, but thought I'd cut to the chase here. Why isn't a mech for me? One poster a while back commented, "If you need to ask why, (why buy a mech), you'll never understand." Well, I think understand why, and am giving serious thought to buying aone...

    Is Mech for Me ?

    I am very seriously considering the Mech Mod route. It's mainly for durability. I only use 2.4ish coils, but slowly going down to 2-2.0 range. Some posters have said that Mech Mods are not worth buying if you're not going to sub-ohm and use an RBA. Is this true? Can't be? Could a mech mod give...

    why use different resistance attys for same device?

    Why is this? If a regulated device is set at 3.7, then how would a Mech Mod not be the same. As I understand it, a battery in a Mech Mod starts at 4.2 but drops and levesl out at 3.7 before taking another drop ready for charging. Maybe I'm wrong here. I have considered buying a Mech Mod and...

    People are too easily manipulated, even in this community.

    When I come across a product that has many 'how to' articles, then I know it's worth looking into, simply because if it wasn't that good, people wouldn't go to all the trouble to find solutions to its problems. The PTII being a good example. When I come across a product like the...

    Vaping Accidents - Because we're only human after all

    Took a while to get in the habit of turning my Protank upside down to refill it. Been so used to top fillers.

    People are too easily manipulated, even in this community.

    I'm not sure about that. Kanger products and the Aspire Nautilus have gotten great reviews, but with trying those products, the reviews are now mixed. But at the outset, it may be advantageous to give an ear to some reviewers who are passionate about vaping themselves, because from much...

    Welcome. Fairly new here myself. It's a great forum. An expensive forum, never felt like spending so much money, but good a one with great folk.

    would i even enjoy sub ohm vaping?

    I played around with some coils this morning, using 30 and 28 gauge. I ended up using 30g making both a 2 and 2.4hohm coil. You're right, with more surface area there is a difference. It's kind of a smoother vape with slightly more flavor. It's of something I'd thought of before, experimenting...

    newbie with mvp , best tanks to use?

    Kanger Protank 2 with an Aerotank base. If you find it's too big to take out, try an eVod. Read up on the Protank 2, it has its ways. The reason I wouldn't recommend the Protank Mini is that nothing is replaceable. If it's knocked or dropped and the glass tank brakes, the whole thing is a...

    would i even enjoy sub ohm vaping?

    Just built a 1.9 coil. OK, no way near sub-ohm, but out of my comfort zone anyway. I've tried several settings and finally settled on 3.7v, as usual for me. I need to give it time, but first impressions are, more flavor, more vaper... just can't see the TV now.

    would i even enjoy sub ohm vaping?

    OK mujurum, I'll give it a whirl. I'll build a 1.8Ω, then if I like it, I'll go lower. 1.1Ω is as low as the MVP will go though. Not sub-ohm I know, but maybe I'm missing out on something by not going lower. Can't hurt to try.

    Upgrading.

    Depends what coil you put in the Kayfun. If it's too low, the MVP wont fire. itaste recommendeds 1.8-2.5 coils. I'd buy the Lite. If you do buy a Mech Mod in the days to come, they'll be a good match... so I'm told. I have neither.

    Upgrading.

    That's the path I'm on. Currently using an MVP2, but looking on getting a kayfun Lite, and if I enjoy it, a Kamry k101.

    would i even enjoy sub ohm vaping?

    I've often asked the same myself. My thoughts are, no, I wouldn't really enjoy it. So far, I'm perfectly happy with my 2.4-3.0ohm coils and cotton wicks set at 3.7v.

    Kanger Coils

    Dry burns are not good for Protank 2 coils. By dry burning them, the little rubber plug that goes in under the coil can easily get burnt. If that happens, you'll get a burnt taste. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. And I've noticed that some of those little rubber plugs are really not good...

    Why "Electronic" or "Cigarette" ?

    As for the 'cigarette,' I couldn't agree more. They ARE NOT cigarettes. Calling them e-cigarettes, only keeps the association between smoking and vaping. I dislike any association between smoking and vaping. I've never liked it! As for e-cigarette forum, that's ok :) It's been around a long...

    Is it really this easy? And other questions

    I'm using MVPs, Protanks and rebuilding my own coils. With success. Though not with every coil, but I'm OK checking them before use, and even during their use. More and more recently I am contemplating going down the Mech Mod route, (as one poster commentated, "if you need to ask why, you'll...

    Help with protank 2: driving me crazy

    There is a world of Protank advice on this forum. My advice, spend good time looking it all up if you want to get the best out of your Protank. I've hated my Protank with a passion, and I've loved. I've given up on it. And I've gotten it out and vaped on it again. There are many things that...

    Okay. So Now someone needs to Explain the VV VW thing to me with the thing in my Hand.

    If all of the above is too much over your head, which it may be, it once was for most if not all of us here, just go down to 3.5v. Vape for 5-10 minutes. If you think you need more, increase to to 3.6. Again, if you need more, 3.7. When you get a burnt flavor, you've gone too far. My guess is...
