    sore throat cause?

    Could be a number of reasons. What nicotine strength are you vaping? Are you vaping a high PG or high VG liquid? Vaping a new liquid that you haven't tried before? What voltage/wattage are you vaping at? What atomizer are you using? If it's an RBA, what wicking material are you using? The more...

    Provari tank - IBTanked or Subtank Mini

    I wouldn't use a Subtank on a Provari Mini for 2 reasons. First, as Baditude stated, the Provari won't fire below 0.8 ohms. A stock 0.5 ohm Subtank head won't fire on it. You can get 1.2 ohm heads, but that brings up the 2nd reason that I wouldn't use a Subtank on a Provari Mini. The Provari has...

    Twisted Ni 200 and Kanthal, correcting the DNA 40 temperature setting

    Thanks for this great info. Subscribed so I can come back to it when I get my grubby mitts on an SX Mini M Class. :)

    Going to purchase a RTA But have no idea what is good for a beginner

    Since you're new to building I would avoid dual coils for now. Most dual coils are tricky to wick properly. Either you're going to get massive dry hits or lots of flooding and leaking. Honestly I think the Subtank Mini would be your best option for first rebuildable. If you mess up on the...

    Simple Dual Coil Build on Orchid v6? (I have 26G Kanthal and Lobo Cotton)

    The VG content of our juices could be the difference. I generally use a higher VG content juice and if I put cotton down the channels it's dry-hit-city. As far as the flooding goes, it never happens, even if I leave the atty on its side (and I leave most of my atties on devices on their sides in...

    Nasty taste in youde Goblin?

    When you're getting a metallic flavor it's not always a dirty atomizer. This is something that a lot of us Genny users used to get. What you might be experiencing could be a hot leg or a hot spot. Did you fire the coil before wicking it? Make sure it's glowing from the inside out? The legs...

    Machine Oil... Atty cleaning failed.

    A couple of years ago I bought an ultrasonic cleaner to "rapid steep" juice. That never worked all that well. But I found another, more obvious use for that cleaner. Cleaning atomizers FAST. I had a huge bottle of 70% iso alcohol that I decided to use in my cleaner with equal parts water and a...

    Simple Dual Coil Build on Orchid v6? (I have 26G Kanthal and Lobo Cotton)

    That's correct, 2 1 ohm coils would make a 0.5 ohm coil. For me the easiest way to shoot for a 0.5 ohm orchid build is to use 28 gauge wrapped on a 2mm screwdriver and do 8 wraps (8 over 7 under with the legs going in the same direction). When mounting the coils put one leg through the negative...

    temperature control under $60

    I think the most important aspect of new devices coming out with temperature control is the fallout Evolv suffered from recalling virtually all initial DNA40 boards. Some worked just fine. Most had major problems. Thus when you mention "temperature control" most people react to Evolv's failure...

    What are you vaping on...RIGHT NOW!

    Orchid Clone built from old Kayfun parts and Orchid base from FT IPV Mini at 30 watts G2 Vapor's CaRnY4 After months (over a year actually) of countless drippers that didn't perform, tanks that performed worse, 2 Subtanks, 2 Atlantis', numerous other tanks that did "ok" but not great (including...

    Hello Matt and welcome to the forums! We need a few questions answered first before we can offer any solid replies. What are you vaping on right now? What nicotine strength are you using? Do you plain on increasing or decreasing the nicotine strength? How important is battery life to you, or...

    Mech or VV/VW?

    Simple fact is, mech mods CAN be dangerous. People can argue all they want, but there's no way around it. How many times have you heard of mech mods blowing up or venting at vape meets? A few times now. How many times have you heard of a VV/VW mod blowing up or venting at vape meets? Probably...

    Erprinz Source

    The Erlprinz is a somewhat "meh" atomizer lately. It's not terrible by any means, but really not much better than say a Kayfun Lite Plus clone. Not bad, just different, and it fit into that niche quite well for awhile. The top fill method was the primary reason for that imo. An Erlprinz...

    Squape Reloaded Clone

    And that's why people were clamoring for someone to copy it. It's a fantastic idea, but at $20 EACH also a total ripoff. I would have happily paid $20 - $25 for all 3, but the designers took the route of most "original" manufacturers by overcharging for their product, and thus opening the way...

    Got the provari mini. Now what? Need some advice on atomizers

    Really you've already got one of the best non-rebuildable tanks on the market. Just make sure you get the Bottom Vertical Coil (or BVC) heads as they perform worlds better than the stock Bottom Dual Coil (or BDC) heads. If you're ready to take your first steps into rebuilding, then I would...

    K4 Clone... That was fast!

    I'd love to buy an original, but I can't afford or justify spending $200 on an atomizer when, judging by most reviews, it's only a marginally better vape than a KFL at best. Easier filling isn't that big a deal for me, though the ability to access the build deck easily would be awesome. But for...

    Am i wrong to worry

    You'll also notice that if you check ohms with the Provari on, it'll usually start low then go high as it heats the coil. Totally normal.

    Vaping Boba's Bounty

    I hear that the guy that makes Boba's Bounty uses a Reo for it. That said, I never could get into squonking myself. Bought a VV Reo and just couldn't get into it. Didn't care for it in a Kayfun Lite either. Just doesn't wick quick enough, and Boba's gunks up coils like nobodies business. Worked...

    Innokin MVP 20W

    Such a common phrase in the vaping community lately, but... "too little too late". Innokin was an innovator in the ecig industry. But they have fallen so far behind it's laughable. I say that while I clutch my MVP 2.0, 2x VV V3s, SVD 1.0, and countless iClear clearos to my chest for the last...

    Vapor Flask V2 clone .. who do we buy this mod from?

    Couldn't agree more. A DNA 40 clone chip is just asking for trouble.
