    New to the forum/e-cigs. Trying to quit newports. Any advice or juice sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

    My suggestion is if you have some liquid that is 'good enough' just stick with that for about 2 weeks and nothing else. At that time you will have pretty much adjusted to vaping and your various senses (smell, taste) will have recovered and everything will taste and smell much different. At...

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    Nope, it's a carto. But I did try a few things with a 306 using the dummy cap it comes with. Don't want to clutter this thread though. :)

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    Naw. Just need to make one of these, quite simple. The bottom is just the business end of a cut down straight stem plastic drip tip. You just need to cut a tube off of an old carto. Here it is in action on my Para inspired vial tank (works with any tank). It enables me to...

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    Well here's a comparison of a a Cisco hybrid and an early Vapage one (bottom). Cisco has always gone for maximum wraps in his, I don't know the ohms of the Vapage. But with a thick gauge wire you can get more wraps, is you want the same ohms with a thinner gauge you use less wraps. We...

    Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-510/Kr808/4081...etc filler type cartos

    Let me add my 2¢. It seems that it was Vision who raised the bar on all these new CE2 style clears. These days it's almost impossible to know who makes the various permutations that are out there. Terms like Stardust, Vision eGo and CE4+ were often used in the description. The CE4+...

    eGo-C reloaded

    After seeing how there are made, I wonder if a coil can simply be wedged in there? I found this vid interesting. Note I have no 510s that come apart like his do, nor do they have such a large cup.

    I used AW IMR batteries in a boombox and killed them.

    The AW IMR1600 is indeed an IMR/ LiMn2O4. The Panasonic you are calling an IMR is not, it uses a different chemistry. I also luv the "especially the Trustfires which aren't of very high quality to begin with" and "do not supply sufficient amperage". Here's a test of the new TF3000 flame...

    Modding PIF

    That's too bad. TI makes bullet proof products, with very conservative ratings. That's Mamu's graphic that I altered. That's all it takes and it will bury the LM2596's when it comes to actual current ouput.

    eGo-C reloaded

    Pretty cool, very well done as usual. One thing I'll add is rather than 'drilling' the ceramic (no standard bit I got would work) I used some rather inexpensive diamond burrs to enlarge holes in ceramic cups. Something like this. For about ~$6 or so (eBay has many) they are quite...

    Load Testing of Panasonic IMR 18650 2250mAh CGR18650CH In Stock!

    Did ya ever do the 5A tests? Would like to see how a true IMR like AW1600 that has more than double the max discharge and max charging rate fares against the high drain Panasonic.

    14500 battery

    Why not? Give it a shot. On many of the foreign forums you often see eGo electronics on all sorts of mods. And the ability to use an eGo charger and having the eGo regulation sounds good. The LR Boge cartos usually run a tad higher than 2Ω. If you are building a box mod why not step up a...

    Is there a super-tool for carto punching?

    Unfortunately nothing is further from the truth. That needle isn't made for constant punching, it will dull. And as it dulls it will deform the carto more. When it starts to dull, unless you have the carto clamped perfectly it will slip off the side and really dull. I got tired of resharpening...

    Just For LM2596 Users

    IDK, looks like you have your fire switch on the OUTPUT. Wrong place. The switch needs to be on the INPUT. And all that gunk in there. If you ever looked at any of the mods made by decent modders you'll never see the insides gooped up like that. Never. These assemblies are only about ~75...

    Kanthal vs Nichrome

    Sounds about right. The problem with always referring to watts is we don't vape watts. These aren't some pristine, little open air space heaters that would in fact strictly obey Ohm's Law. As the crud builds up it also insulates and the real heat/temperature is now less which is affecting...

    ViVi Nova hot leg fix

    Your method is overly complicated. No need to use another wire. deezdrama's solution is all that is needed.

    My Evercool Mod

    An odd choice in batteries, those look like the '5V' 600mAhs folks sell. A pair of 18350s would probably serve you better and take up half the space and weight. Many folks like those 1.6Ω DCCs at that voltage and even higher.

    Actually the 'naked' looks pretty cool (if you had used some nicer tubing).

    Proper ohms and battery life

    It matters not who makes the batteries, every day and every charge ages them. When you are using a pair, stacked in a regulated, VV PV, it's no big deal if you lose 5-10% vapetime. But as the capacity drops so does the cells ability to hold voltage. In your case a drop in voltage of 5- 10%...
