    new charger - what are you using

    An 18650 from empty to full in 30 minutes, what's the charge amps? Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    new charger - what are you using

    That sounds like a charge current that might damage 18650s though. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    new charger - what are you using

    A good rule of thumb is to use only authentic batteries by LG, Samsung, Sony, or Panasonic/Sanyo, bought from a trusted vendor. With a few exceptions, all others are rewraps of subpar batteries with exaggerated ratings. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    "Married Batteries"

    Mooch has been running tests on that exact topic for a good while now but we're still awaiting the results. And yes, he's a member here :-) Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Asthma vs vaping

    I haven't found vaping to be of any benefit for my asthma. Rather the opposite, though to a very miniscule degree. I don't get asthma attacks from vaping, but if I'm starting to feel wheezing vaping can sometimes make it a tiny bit worse. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    DNA75C

    Good 18650s actually handle low resistances better than 26650s (depending on the 18650 of course). That 26650s can handle lower resistances/more power is a common misconception, which is unfortunately fueled by manufacturers allowing for higher wattages with 26650s. Also, the resistance doesn't...

    GeekVape Zeus RTA

    I prefer top air flow tanks so this is definitely interesting. Really haven't found anything of interest since the OBS Engine (though I do have an SMM on order), so it's about time. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    building a coil for a mec mod.

    Safety precautions are important at any resistances on mechs, and particularly with very low resistances. "It's fine" is hardly sufficient information. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    building a coil for a mec mod.

    I find that a bit problematic problematic as well. In a post to a new builder it definitely needs to be qualified. It could be somewhat safe, as long as the user really knows what he/she is doing, has an ohm reader that is absolutely accurate at such a low resistance (doesn't exist though), is...

    Al85 screen stopped working. Not in stealth mode.

    I've had great luck with Wismec devices. The rx200 (several of them) are still in daily use and have taken quite a beating. I've always been careful in not forcing down my atties on them though. On the other hand, my Wismec Predator stopped working after a few months without ever even being...

    Please don't advertise things like this on thread where the op has yet to learn the basics of mech mod safety. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Hello

    The Presa could be aluminium, I don't know, and I don't care. I've had mods of stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminium, and to me the zinc alloy that is predominant in regulated mods is perfectly fine. The added cost of pure aluminium is simply not worth it to me. If the Presa were aluminium...

    Hello

    Yeah, don't trust the Fasttech labelling. They're wrong more often than they're right. This is some information I found about the rx2/3: Wismec Reuleaux RX2/3 mod by JayBo Designs - Vapor Authority So while there's aluminium in the mix (if that text is to be trusted), it is a die cast zinc...

    Hello

    Sorry, but most Wismec mods are zinc alloy. The vast majority of mods by all manufacturers are. You won't find an aluminium mod at the Wismec price point. Also, Smok mods do have some serious issues. The Alien and Al85 definitely do (with the exception of subpar tc my Alien was ok though). Smok...

    New Alien 220 ( garbage )

    The Alien most definitely needed updates. It wasn't until the most recent firmware that tc on it was even passable. Plenty of other mods that don't work properly in tc but could, potentially, be fixed with firmware updates. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    The DNA75c has a 9v limit, and I believe there are some dual-battery mods with the chip on the market. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk
