    SMOK Alien 220 VB* Firmware Upgrade

    You have to set the file type to "hex" or "all". That's been a flaw in the update programme from the start. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    SMOK Alien 220 VB* Firmware Upgrade

    I finally decided to leave the tcr at 0.00105. Seems to work best for me there. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Battery issue

    I've never opened an 18650 but to my knowledge that's not how they're constructed. Rather, it's anode and cathode layers with separator sheets between...

    Charging batteries

    Sorry to contradict, but this isn't true. The wattage determines the amp draw, and therefore battery life, on a regulated mod. The resistance doesn't matter. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    My Wismec Predator 228 broke. Looking for suggestions on a new box mod.

    It's not the best of ideas to charge the Predator through the usb anyway. It gets really hot, and doesn't balance charge properly. In fact, many multiple-battery mods still don't have proper balance charging. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Seems like most users are sub-ohmers ?

    "Sub ohm" really doesn't mean much in the age of regulated mods and tc. Yes, all my coils are technically sub ohm, but that's because I use stainless steel wire which has lower resistance per inch than kanthal. I MTL vape, even though I use sub ohm coils. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Smoktech Rocket

    All tc mods do step down, they have to in order to function properly. You'd be hard pressed to find a modern regulated mod that doesn't do good step down. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    SINUOUS P80

    Thanks! Looks great, it's kinda like a slightly beefy tube mod. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Could you snap a picture from the side of the mod? Pretty please :-) Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    A battery testing update and a decision…

    Conservative Lichtensteinian Black Metal might be acceptable. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    We have Finnish and Swedish hip hop. That's just plain wrong, on so many levels. No way country hip hop could be worse. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Best Top Airflow RTA's?

    Yeah. The Nano definitely isn't a nano Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Need Help With Setting Wattage In TC Mode

    Nickel should not be used in wattage mode. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Need Help With Setting Wattage In TC Mode

    Lower wattage and it'll take a longer time to reach the set temperature, higher wattage and you'll reach the set temperature faster. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    SMOK Alien 220 VB* Firmware Upgrade

    Indeed! Colour me surprised! I installed the new firmware and it does indeed seem to work a lot better, though I increased the tcr to 0.00095 (ss316l coil in an Obs Engine Nano). Will try do a dry cotton test when I have time. Thanks! Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Old battery question from an old timer ......

    That you can't simply check the label to know the chemistry, that IMRs are actually rare, and that there's not much of a difference in safety between IMRs and good hybrid batteries (no problem using cells such as the Samsung 25r in mechs, and the Sony vtc5a is in fact one of the best batteries...

    Old battery question from an old timer ......

    That would simply be the model identifier. Hybrids commonly are the best of both worlds, a balance of high drain and high capacity. The Samsung 25r and Sony vtc5 are lithium manganese nickel, LG hb6 are lithium manganese oxide (IMR). Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Old battery question from an old timer ......

    I know what IMR chemistry is. I was asking which batteries used today are actually IMR. Pretty much all of the popular batteries today are hybrid chemistry (pretty much as safe as IMR, won't vent as violently as ICRs), although it's very common for rewraps to include "IMR" on the wrapper...

    Old battery question from an old timer ......

    I wouldn't be so sure those are actually IMRs. The Efests certainly aren't (they're rewraps, not of IMR batteries). It's very common for rewrappers to use "IMR" on their cells although they're nothing of the sort. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk

    Why are there no SS Coils for TFV8 Baby?

    No need to have that exact resistance on the RBA heads. But, RBA heads or not, Smok still doesn't offer any prebuilt ss coil heads. Sent from my K6000 Pro using Tapatalk
