    Should I get a carto puncher?

    The very nature of the design with a properly sized hole to surround the carto firmly, results in almost zero distortion.

    Panasonic Batteries?

    How about showing a few of these tests? For one it would be nice to see how these Panasonics fare against a real IMR like AW's 1600, under a heavy load. The IMRs 15C max discharge rating obviously trounces the Panasonics 10A Here's SuperTs 2.5A test. At what voltage does the LT want a...

    AW IMR Charge Cycles?

    No matter who makes the batteries, every day you own then, every time you charge them they die a little. The 80% life figure is ridiculous for vapers If you are using a pair stacked in VV PV a 5% - 10% drop in capacity/vapetime is no big deal. But in a single cell straight through PV there...

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

    They are all Lithium Ion, lithium-based batteries .

    Just For LM2596 Users

    Well if you've noticed the trimmer/assembly has a very wide range, 1.23V-30V. How many will we be using? About 2V? Cranked all the way up the highest unloaded volts possible are about ~5.5 with a pair of cells due to the dropout voltage. So if the trimmer was fully cranked high it would take...

    Well here what the V2 head should look like taken apart.

    New to the Vapors

    You should have just grabbed Some of the Dekang DK-TAB or Flu Cured from Hoosier and just stuck with it for a couple of weeks. That will give you and your body (read senses) a chance to adjust to vaping. Everything will start to taste and smell different at that point. You will now have a...

    Leaking from the bottom

    Those plastic bottom coil CE4s (not to be confused with the CE4+, or the Vision eGos) are just bad news. Finicky things that are best avoided.

    Dual coil on a Genesis Maxi?

    That doesn't really count, you are still covering the exact same 'vaporization' area, still drawing liquid from a single source. If look at the Smok DCC. Double the 'vaporization' area and the liquid is being draw from two different locations/sources.

    Just For LM2596 Users

    Not really so much a "higher amp" problem. If you plan on using the switch it's more of a need for a better constructed one. It's the chintzyness that is the on/off's Achilles heel. These switches aren't really switching like the fire switch is. There is no burst of current, and no arcing...

    From the BatteryU link you provided. Then later:

    Leaking from the bottom

    Maybe provide a link to the exact carto, for a more accurate assessment.

    Just want to make sure I am safe

    You didn't provide any details. If you are using the pair stacked in a VV PV it's quite common for one to discharge more than the other. Mark them and alternate positions in the PV every charge.

    Ego 18650 "mod"

    The names can get confusing. Calling every mass produced PV a mod is silly and incorrect as you stated. These aren't modded/modified, they are purpose built that way. It should be an easy concept to understand. We have forums here to discuss PV/APVs and we also have the Modding Forum for...

    Should I get a carto puncher?

    Sounds like wayyyyyyyy to much trouble. :) It also seems like getting consistent results will be tough. I always find PG to VG ratios don't tell us much, as it doesn't take into account flavorings for one, and I doubt that every VG out there has the same viscosity. Alcohol, PG and water are...

    Should I get a carto puncher?

    You gotta be careful with slots (I quit using them), the rough edges will play hell on your internal o-rings, especially the skinny ones found on Smok tanks. Remember each time you do a proper re-fill you will scraping that jagged slot twice against the o-ring. It's very easy to make a great...

    Panasonic Batteries?

    Well AW uses Panasonics for their 2900 and 3100s (actually any 2900 or 3100 you see is a re-wrap). The mAh is exaggerated as far as vaping is concerned. As far as performance, middling at best. It's hard to figure how their reputation has grown so much on these forums. Their battery...

    Kanthal vs Nichrome

    Need a smaller tank lil mama ??

    Just make yourself an extension. Cheap and easy. Here it is with my Para inspired tank. Here with my Vermonster inspired tank. Should be self explanatory, just slide it down to mate with the length of any carto in any tank. No reason to be cutting tank tubes.

    VV with VMOD XL?

    What's wrong with the DNA? Cheaper, more watts and better form factor for a mod. Spend some time reading Mamu's comprehensive thread.
