    Vaping on a Budget.....

    That half and half stuff ain't gonna work. The eliquid half will always seem odd.

    Best straight to USB, no battery product?

    I've been using PTs (not USB battery devices which aren't pass throughs BTW) from day one on a computer, and I've also used the same ports for charging all sorts of devices. I've never had a atty/carto which would fire with 500mA. Computer ports can and will provide much more then 500mA.

    Low Resistance On Cobra Coil

    Or simply add another wrap. And make sure you are making good firm contact between the pos post nuts, this can also cause ohms to dance.

    Assuming you got it from Avid you should ask there.

    Cen-Tech Multimeter from Harbor Freight

    No your not, unless of course they and you own a Digital Caliper so you can also duplicate the wick/coil diameter exactly. Rarely do these coils ohm out exactly as claimed. @ the OP I've got the exact one you linked to (they make 3). Although it's no consolation mine has worked fine...

    Did you actually do a loaded volts test to determine your 15W?

    Flat Top Battery Polarity

    They do have a bit of a problem sometimes due to the almost flush positive terminal on the charger. Most newer chargers have a more prominent, protruding terminal.

    Battery won't reach full charge(?)

    Interesting. That's pretty normal behavior, usually there is a threshold voltage that a battery needs to be at before charging will start, ie <~4.1V. I really wouldn't worry about it.

    Battery won't reach full charge(?)

    I'm a bit confused by your post. Did you say that no matter which slot you put #1 in it never goes green?

    Battery issue (I'm assuming?)

    Have you ever actually vaped the 18350 till it died? So it seems odd to you that an 18490 with ~50% more mAh than an 18350 would last longer?

    Where have all the batteries gone?

    Hard to beat. Supertmanufacturing.com Top notch, long time, respected vendor and his mechanical PVs put all that foreign, brass screw switched stuff to shame. PrecisePlus Oh yea. :)

    Introducing the AGA - Hydra and the AGA - Tiamat Rebuildable Atomizer Tanks

    Is that the T2? The T, with a larger wick hole to start with was pretty easy for me to drill out with some cheap bit and a hand drill. The 1/8" bit even went in from the top part way. And the whole time I was putting pressure towards the center to keep it from the o-ring. My hole...

    E-cigs NOT helping my daughter with ulcerative colitis, don't understand

    No offence but "3 to 5 cigs a day" hardly seems like "back to smoking" to me. All drug company meds have side effects, folks often end up trading one form of of mortality for another and don't even know it. If I was "in a lot of pain, losing a lot of blood " and it could all stop by...

    Amperage issues.

    That doesn't make sense, no atty/carto will fire with only .2A/200mA. If the battery was fully charged to 4.2V and you are getting 4V (no load) at the connector that's not good. You need to provide some details, wire/construction/switch etc., and pics would help for someone to make a...

    So you made this thing? Or are you using the Modders Forum to pimp some vendor's wares?

    My first Flash light

    Do yourself a favor and eliminate the bottom switch completely. Knock it out and press fit something solid in there, drill a vent hole and use a better spring. The parasitic resistance they incur can be quite high and it will usually change with each press. Just loosen your atty for travel...

    My newest flashlight

    Yea I figured, but UltraFires are the most counterfeited batteries ever, and FWIW the biggest one they actually make is 3000mAh. It's hard to tell what brand is actually under that shiny wrapper or if is even new.
