    Just made the switch from tobacco cigarettes. Need some guidance on e-cig voltage settings...

    If you are over the initial analog hump and ready to explore, you should try dry burning before venturing into recoiling. Coil and wick don't burn up. The burn taste comes from burning of juice residue. It's like cooking egg on the dirty frying pan. Dry burning is like cleaning that frying...

    Before I buy...

    Mech mods are beautiful and nothing wrong with getting them. However, when you are initially starting out, it is more important to have a device that will give you a consistent and reliable vapor. That requires right amount of voltage and resistance against different type of juice. People who...

    Just made the switch from tobacco cigarettes. Need some guidance on e-cig voltage settings...

    Think of voltage control as car's accelerator. learning how to control it against different environment will give you best vapor. voltage to resistance ratio isn't fixed. that's like telling people to drive at fixed speed. as the coils heat the juice, it will gunk up and same amount of...

    Just made the switch from tobacco cigarettes. Need some guidance on e-cig voltage settings...

    do the "ramp up" on new atomizer head. when you put a new atomizer head, let it sit for few minutes to get the wicks wet. after that, start from 3.0 - 3.2v and pulse it few times while vaping. make sure you start getting small amount of vapor initially and slowly fire it longer. this avoids...

    New to RBA/RDA..checking resistance

    for me, shorts were more common after the build. coils touching the top cap or moved too close to the post after putting the cotton in. so, having the resistance tester with 510 connector was handy for that. i personally use VV/VW with resistance checker first before putting the topper on the...

    Anyone saving any money?

    Vaping can be done cheap. But if you start to drift into it being a hobby, it can cost a lot. I tell my wife that it is similar to cooking. If I wanted to cook just to eat, it can be done cheap. But if you are "learning" how to cook, you spend lots of money initially on cookware and...

    Lowest Ohm's on MVP

    RBA and starter kit doesn't really go together. :D You should be able to fire close to 1.0 ohms on MVP. If you are just starting out on rebuildable, I strongly suggest stay above 1.3ohms with single coil setup. RDA will give you plenty of vapor if done right at that setting. Without going...

    I smoked cigarettes again for a few hours out of frustration

    Some stuff I used to quit Don't hate smoking. More you hate it, more you will smoke. Hating drives you to think about it. Rather consider yourself non-smoker and try to "forget" or "ignore" it. Make it so that it isn't worth your time. Get a setup that works for you and stick with it. eGo...

    I want bigger clouds!!!!

    cape somewhere really cold. j/k :D "bigger cloud" requires 1) hot coils - run high voltage with lower resistance atomizer. i think pro tank atty will go down to 1.8. 2) right juice - VG juice make bigger vapor 3) lots of air and juice - if your draw is tight, try drilling the holes at the base...

    Looking to get a Innokin VTR

    Even with the first batch, VV works fine. Just VW gets out of whack due to bad resistance reading. It is very heavy compared to MVP but feels solid. Worst part is the finish. It is a fingerprint magnet. It looks beautiful when shined, but first touch will ruin it. I am seriously thinking...

    rebuilder's life

    Wife: Why is there a pot with cotton balls on the stove? Rebuilder: Oh, those are organic cotton balls. I am boiling them for my wicks. It's important to get the organic ones since they don't bleach them and... where are you going? Wife: Where should we go for our family vacation this year...

    Really Enjoying This "Hobby"

    Welcome and thanks for sharing a great story. Your engineering mind will have plenty to tinker with. I caught myself looking for nearest CNC shop. :D Fun to be in something that is still pretty raw and have lots of room to grow. I am sure you ran across this already, but in case you haven't...

    Why Do People Buy Cheap Junk???

    Actually doesn't feel that bad to see thread like this. This means the e-cig is spreading out and bringing people from wide range of backgrounds. Manufactures have jumped in and started to offer wide range of options. This is all very good for the e-cig community. We might struggle little...

    I don't like "Electronic-Cigarette"

    according to my auto correct, I "cape" or "gaping". :facepalm: before we try to come up with the "official" name for it, we should establish the "common" name. this will have more impact in grassroot level of society. people know me as a "vaper" and i "vape". first priority should be to...

    Want to use a rebuild able but don't wanna wrap my own coils!

    Might be helpful to describe the reasoning for dripping. Are you looking for flavor? big cloud?

    still a smoker, want to switch

    Sounds like what you are describing isn't a throat hit generated by nicotine, but specific chemical formula in Virginia Slim. It would be good to set a right level of expectation and try it vaping in a right way. There is a difference between quitting smoking versus replacing it with something...

    Kanger Evod Difficulties, Any Suggestions?

    Ok. For future note, BCC is called "clearomizer", not cartomizer. They are two different types. BCC stands for Bottom coil clearomizer. First, it is normal to find a few drips of juice on the battery contact. Good to wipe the contact area with Q-tips during each refill. Bottom coil design...
