    ATTENTION!!! Calling all MOD users!!!

    Lithium batteries don't quite work that way. The deeper the discharge, the less cycles you get. Severe damage occurs at about 2.7V but most devices will cut out at around 3.2V (actual battery voltage, not output). The rated cycles is normally give as about 300 at this discharge level but...

    ATTENTION!!! Calling all MOD users!!!

    You generally get extra features on a larger mod such as VW. If you don't want something that's heavier than the 1300 twist or spinner, then you are better off staying with those however. I use a variety of devices at home (Vamo, mechanicals) but I use 1100mAh twists when I'm out. One fully...

    Introduction from Las Vegas!

    Strange things can happen when the circuit boards get dirty. Traces of e-liquid get inside and attract dirt and other contaminants. The usual fix is to wash it in 99% Isopropyl Alchohol (IPA, electronic PCB cleaner) and dry thoroughly. I don't have an eVic so I can't give you the exact...

    Bugger 'nice'. We go for 'funny' around here. I had to add the text though. Not to detract from how huge the one year vaporversary is. I look forward to my own 1 year - it is a massive milestone. I put my congratulations on the other thread but what the heck: Congratulations Ocey! All the...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    Have another think, because it's not that bad. The volts function incorporates the inverse square law, so it HAS to be fine tuned in 0.1V increments. Your voltage range is 3V to 6V in 0.1V increments. That is 31 discreet settings your power range is 3W to 15W in 0.5W increments. That is...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    Good question. The people behind the Provari are pretty obviously VV vapers. It's just what *they* prefer. There might be other contributing factors behind the reason for them refusing to incorporate VW into their device: They might not have the coding resources required for the change...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    VV procedure for changing to a coil of unknown resistance but using the same power. 1) Replace coil or device 2) Measure resistance 3) Calculate voltage required for given power (ohms + 2V is only true for 8 watts) correct calculation for anything else is V^2 = W x R so for 6.5 watts on a...

    I gotta stay away from...

    Those little nuts... Very first time I took the Cobra apart I dropped one into the rubbish bin under my desk. I found it with a bright light - it was sitting on a piece of paper on top. Second time, I worked very carefully over the desk and lined everything up in order. After I finished...

    Happy Vaperversary! Dd you know that in one year an ocelot would have grown this big ---->

    On these and other similar devices (like the Cobra) you have strip them right down and put them back together before you fully understand the weak points like this. I don't know about the AGA, but on the Cobra if the center post is not fully screwed into the top cap it can rotate around the...

    Do you need an easy way to mark cartridges?

    I haven't used cartos on their own since week one, but if was: Smokeless Image | The Best Electronic Cigarette There's many similar products available, so google is your friend.

    I gotta stay away from...

    The rings in the ears are called "stretchers". The ear lobe will heal if the stretcher is only 1/4" or so. If the stretchers are larger than that and the wearer decides they don't like them any more then it usually requires surgical intervention to repair the damage. I don't really see the...

    I gotta stay away from...

    It can't be a short if it goes that high - it must be a bad connection on the coil wires. Re-seat the wire in the posts a tighten it down a little bit more. I had a problem with the coil on my phoenix - I used the coil that was on it for ages. I noticed that it was reading 2.4 ohms and it...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    You still seem to think they are independent and unrelated things. They are not, they're mathematically proportional. Power and volts are two sides of the same coin - change one, change the other. Which one we are changing depends on our personal preferences, nothing else. The end result is...

    I gotta stay away from...

    Sounds like a plan. :-) A lot of stuff I just wash, and dry burn. I only recoil if the resistance isn't right, or if it's just not working. I used to wrap LR coils for the protanks but that's not so good on the mechanicals. I now aim for 2.4 ohms and it should be easier next time around -...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    They are three parts of the same equation: Volts, Resistance, and Watts (which is volts times current). Power is what heats the coil. You can select the volts that gives the required power on a given coil, or you can just select watts (power) and let the device worry about the resistance and...

    Voltage/Wattage - does it truly matter?

    The Provari does not have VW. VV Only. the iTaste VV version 3 *does* have VW. Go figure. Your vision spinner is fine, you don't have to upgrade just to get VW. Maybe when you are ready to upgrade for other reasons you might consider if VW is important to you. Don't upgrade just for VW...
