    Battery option question

    Really not too many restrictions on battery/power sources besides imagination. The biggest limitation is simply making sure the power source can support the amperage required to power our devices effectively. For batteries this is ofted referred to or defined as "C" rating or discharge rating...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Most of my new cotton wick flavor issues came from whatever i had handled just before making the wick. Cotton being so absorbant will pull everything from your fingertips while coiling. Had one start with a soap flavor because i did not rinse my hands well enough. The point? Only handle cotton...

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Coil uniformity made a big difference for me. I now wrap my coils around a 16ga syringe needle; remove the coil annd use the largest eyed tapestry needle that will fit to thread my wick through the coil. No worry about constricting the wick or uneven coils.

    will this work? mod question

    The usb converter would definitely be the weak link. 2a is not enough for two passthrough devices to be used at the same time. That battery should easily last a week even with 3-4 passthroughs attached.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Getting about 3 days from my cotton wicks before they gunk up enough to drop performance. Cheap enough that i dont even bother trying to save the coil. I have 4 rca/phono jack atties made up and just spend 30-45l mins a week rebuilding the two or so that are not performing.

    Building my own first repairable atomizer

    Machining a single piece of metal without a lathe will be quite difficult. Suggest you read this thread for building a genesis with minimal tools: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/261364-selfmade-big-genisis-style-atomizer-howto.html

    Building my own first repairable atomizer

    My first genesis is made from aluminum. It has had liquid in it for over a month with no discoloration/deterioration of either the juice or the metal in contact with it.

    quick mosfet question

    Dummy me. Only had 10k resistor so in my infinite wisdom i put two together thinking that would be 20k. However they were soldered parallel not in series.:facepalm: Will try a 47k later.

    Very nice looking.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Try wrapping a single layer of mesh around the lower portion of the wick leaving enough bare cotton at the top to wrap the coil on. This should ggive you enough ridgidity to make the wick much easier to insert/remove.

    quick mosfet question

    Will double check the resistance. Guess that could explain the switch being a little slow to react turning off too.

    LED in dual coil cartomizer

    A tank is just a tube placed around a standard carto to allow it to hold more juice. Since the positive is isolated inside the carto it would not be practal to put an led inside a tank. However it would be possible to use the tutorial you found to put an led in the clearomizer then put the the...

    Kanthal vs Nichrome

    aside from the higher temperature tolerance (which increases durability, a good thing); some have said it gives better flavor, sometimes noticing a metallic taste from nichrome but not from the equivelent size of kanthal.

    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    with one of the goals of modding being to get better performance than what is commercially available, I love it when this happens. :vapor:

    Made my own genesis. I need a little help though.

    from the pics, I agree with Asdaq. looks like the air inlet is too high, almost passing over the top of the coil instead of near the base of the coil. Try moving the coil a little higher on the wick so airflow is directed at the lowest coil.
