    Is the wismec Reuleaux any good for TC?

    The Reuleaux (and the rx200, rx200s, Gen3) are also made of zinc alloy. The vast majority of metal mods are zinc alloy. I've had aluminium mods in the past and honestly, there's not that much of a difference. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Is a full & complete knowledge of ohms law & battery safety absolutely necessary for regulated mods

    It's extremely unlikely that a chipset would fail in a way that would transform it into an unregulated mod though. Simply calculating amp draw based on coil resistance and battery voltage is of little help unless that rather extraordinary circumstance would occur. More likely, a mod might fire...

    Why buy protected cells for box mods, etc ?

    Protected batteries are not suitable for regulated mods, or for vaping at all really. They are of an unsafe chemistry that'll react violently if overstressed, and in regulated mods the batteries' own protection can interfere with the mod circuitry. Safe(r) chemistry unprotected batteries with...

    Get hype the lost vape paranormal 166 is coming soon

    Check out the DNA75c videos by Djlsb vapes or Pbusardo. So much going on with the chip that it's better to see it in action than to simply list features. The most drastic design change since the dna40, safe to say. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Get hype the lost vape paranormal 166 is coming soon

    It's a modernised chip which is very much different from the earlier 166/250. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    wished lost vape made the parnormal with a better dna

    The Paranormal has the newest DNA 75C chip. A C-version of the DNA 166/250 chip has yet to be released. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Voopoo Drag

    In a regulated mod you'll get roughly double the capacity, same as with regulated parallel mods. On mech mods you don't. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    New Battery Tech from Innokin

    There's absolutely no way that Innokin, a fairly small company, could create battery technology that would surpass that of the major players (Sony, LG, Samsung). Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    I think that should be ok, but I'm no expert. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Highest mah 18650 battery for vaping ?

    Yes. The LG hg2, Sony vtc6, and Samsung 30q. All others are rewraps. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Highest mah 18650 battery for vaping ?

    Those are definitely not 20-amp cells (there are no 20-amp cells with more than 3000 mAh). 10 amps maximum, be careful to not use them at too high a wattage (absolute maximum 60w in a two-battery mod, but that's only if they're actually 10-amp batteries. They could very well be 5-amp or even...

    Asmodus Minikin

    Go for a mod that takes three or more batteries if you need over 150w. That way you won't be overtaxing your cells and will have decent runtime. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Can I use Temperature Control Mode with Aspire Mini-Triton Clapton Coils?

    I don't have my ℃ and ℉ mixed up. Chemistry, beats out guessing. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    OBS Engine NANO RTA

    Watts are watts. A lower resistance coil will require a lower voltage to reach a specific wattage. The current required is the same. Your formula isn't valid in this context, when we're talking about regulated devices. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Can I use Temperature Control Mode with Aspire Mini-Triton Clapton Coils?

    Vg has a boiling point of 290℃, pg a boiling point of 188℃. Depending on the tank construction, wicking etc 14w could be high enough to produce dangerous chemicals. It'll still be a lot safer than smoking though. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    OBS Engine NANO RTA

    Ss and kanthal with the same gauge, coil id, and wrap number will work at the same wattages. They have roughly the same coil mass, and the same heat flux.. Resistance doesn't matter that much. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Can we have this topic dedicated to temperature tootling?

    You don't need to focus on the resistance so much. Simply wrap a ss coil with the same wire gauge, coil id, and wrap number as you did with kanthal and you'll have a comparable vape at the same wattage. Heat flux is far more relevant than resistance when dealing with regulated mods. Sent from...

    Smoant Battlestar or Smok G-Priv?

    The Predator 510 outer threads are press fit and will tear off the mod fairly easily even in normal use. That started happening to mine and then the mod wouldn't recognise any atomizers any more. Sent from my M7_PLUS using Tapatalk

    Yeah, I learnt that with these RDTA Box, though I still really, really, really hoped that the Captain would be different. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Charging batteries

    The original Cuboid is notoriously inefficient. Compare the Evic Mini to a Smok Alien and you'll most definitely find that you get at least twice the battery runtime. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk
