    menthol crystals

    you must use high proof alch to melt and have them stay melted 60 proof will melt them, but let it sit and they recrystallize on the edge of the cup(prolly purifies it who knows, but its neat to see if u haven't tried) PG does just fine crush and let sit, you can stir if you want

    High drain batteries, talk to me...

    hot yes, not explode or vent with fire as a normal bat would in the same case (im looking up some math for you, i dont think it will heat your mod much at all before its empty) EDIT: also i wouldn't declare any lithium battery safe, just best choice. (if you bring LR atties in to the pic...

    High drain batteries, talk to me...

    i see your concern, but feel its misplaced The same or worse will happen with a normal cell in that case a wrapper failure =short beyond control of protection circuits leaving the battery alone to do what it will But again with proper and responsible use both are acceptable

    High drain batteries, talk to me...

    Mods are new but the batteries are not that new and have been tested in other industries. A wrapper failure can happen on a normal battery also, which would BYPASS the protection circuit again leading to bad news but more violent from the unsafe chemisty. If i had a choice of a hot mod i could...

    High drain batteries, talk to me...

    Drozd well said -The spring will melt away from the 20+amps going through it and most switches are less than 10amps before they fail, i dont think the battery will ever get hot enough itself to melt a spring a so in short: The safe amperage of these allow a short to be within range of its...

    High drain batteries, talk to me...

    AW makes 2 kinds of 18650 normal and high drain. The high drain cells are very respected in other community's and have proven themselves safe(er) powerful and reliable. AW IMR are what you want, and by judging by your work will come to this conclusion soon enough on your own. I encourage you...

    Vanilla Custard

    I have been looking for a good flavor that tastes like what it says for a long time, not easy. Everything tobacco is french pipe(yuck)with something else mixed in, all sweet flavors are perfumey or odd flavored. My main vape menthol i mix my own (crystals with drew's unflavored nic). This...

    Try to keep the last few drops of your favorite flavor and add it to the new bottle of same flavor. Helps keep the small changes between batches less noticable Anyone else tried this?

    Venting battery mod

    you may be lucky and get a small flame vent, but if you have ever seen(or heard) an 18650 go off due to being faulty i tihnk you would change you mind there just inst enough volume in the tube to dissipate a high energy vent, tailcap or not (its a solid turning to gas deal) dont get me wrong...

    Venting battery mod

    i would still not use a bottom vent these devices are most likely to fail while in-use, meaning a bottom vent forces the mod into your face, your button vent is large but in a full failure would still be a rocket. an idea: maybe a mod help together in the middle by strong magnets that "breaks...

    Decent Soldering Iron??

    wattage is important, also a clean tip and make sure the tip doesn't wiggle, if its loose it wont get hot

    Venting battery mod

    There is no real answer for size yet, as no one has really done testing. but bigger the better there is a lot of energy in a lithium cell as for position, remember the venting gasses could cause a good bit of force so somewhere that would aim the mod away from your face if it were to fly from...

    The Lung Lolly How to do Automatic 5V /3.7V selection???

    its tough to dumb it down as these are complex devices but basically if you find a "driver" or get one made for you, it can have certain qualities -first the output would be set to what you want, volt and amp by the maker(technical part) if the driver accepts (for example) 5-9volts input (two...

    The Lung Lolly How to do Automatic 5V /3.7V selection???

    Thats where the little bit more comes in. there is some math to figure out how to adjust it to give you 3.7(or what ever voltage) to the atty, then when it reaches an unacceptable level it will cut out. the voltage drop is gonna be a tough one to overcome. a good bit of effort Or look at...

    The Lung Lolly How to do Automatic 5V /3.7V selection???

    look up LED voltmeter projects they will teach you to make a design that can be set to a volatage or more that one, then replace the led at the voltage u want with a relay to the atomizer a bit more to it than that, but it will get you started
