    Geek Vape G Box 200 Watt Mod.

    Sorry, I meant Ijoy, not Geekvape. Terribly sorry for that mix up. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    That's my point, double the wattage is not needed (or desired). You'll want different voltages (half the voltage with the ss coil), but not wattage. At the same wattage (but very different voltages) the heat flux will be nearly identical. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    26ga 2.5mm, a 1 ohm k1 and a 0.5 ohm ss316l coil require a 1 watt one difference for the same ideal heat flux. Sure, the kanthal coil has a somewhat lower heat capacity, but nothing extreme. We're not talking anything like double the wattage needed (a statement one hears often, and which is...

    You really don't have to care about resistance with a regulated mod. Similar coil mass, near identical coil composition and heat flux, who cares about resistance? Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Geek Vape G Box 200 Watt Mod.

    Ijoy [Geekvape mentioned originally by mistake, terribly sorry for that!] haven't yet managed to do anything close to useable temperature control so their chips are garbage. Sure, not a problem per se if you don't use tc, but not really promising overall. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Smoant Cylon

    And that's totally fine practice. No point in running down the batteries until the cutoff just for the sake of it. I just prefer mods with a low cutoff so I don't need to carry unnecessary batteries when out and about. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Temp Control....reasons for it?

    No risk for dry hits, lessens the risk of inhaling dangerous byproducts (which will be produced before you taste something off), consistent vape from hit to hit without excessive heating up if chain vaping, wicks and coils last far longer. Those are some of the main reasons I use temp control...

    Smoant Cylon

    The cells we use are fine down to about 2.5v so a cutoff at 3v, or even a bit lower, is totally fine. Personally, the reason I continued using my Smok Alien even though it had sub-par tc was its 2.8v battery cutoff. Superb battery life. Doesn't matter much when at home, but out and about it...

    WHAT IS YOUR 2018 VAPING ROTATION?

    My primary rigs are a Vaporesso Revenger with an Obs Engine Nano and an Eleaf Invoke with a Geekvape Zeus, secondary rigs are an Eleaf Pico with a Bellus (in single coil mode) and a Wismec rx200 with a SMM, less frequently used are an Eleaf Pico with a Sapor Mini and a Wismec Reuleaux DNA 200...

    Wicking life

    Using tc, 220 degrees Celsius and 40-60w, my wicks last for weeks. I go through hundreds of ml before rewicking. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    So I just started using Rayon...

    I tried rayon for a while but never really got what all the buzz was about. Went back to cotton pads and haven't looked back. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Kapton tape insulation

    I'd be a bit worried about the adhesive in the tape leaching into the liquid. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    IJOY Elite PS2170 100W Kit

    Ijoy really can't seem to make mods that function properly so I've all but given up on them. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Where are the NON-TC mods?

    Yeah, it had a custom-designed Evolv chip. No tc though, only vw. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Look, there's insufficient data on jumping off a high building being more dangerous than sitting still for eight full hours, but there's no doubt that the former is far more dangerous. We know smoking cigarettes is incredibly dangerous, and we know why. There's simply no way normal vaping can be...

    If you're heating up the metal hot enough to vaporize and inhale it you'll have problems no matter what material it's made of. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Newbie saying hi

    Note that the Smok Alien discharges the batteries down to 2.8-2.9v, meaning that the amp draw at battery cutoff is higher than with many other two-battery mods. Two 20-amp batteries are good up to about 105-110w, two 25-amp batteries are good up to about 135w. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk

    Mechs ohm laws wire choice is over whelming

    Give up on the claptons and other complex coils, build single wire coils of reasonable resistance, learn about Heat flux and learn to build according to it by using steam-engine. A lot of your confusion seems to stem from you having settled for coil builds and wire types that will not give you a...

    Best quality made mods?

    Pretty much all the mods I have in circulation are painted zinc alloy. Plenty of unpainted ss, copper, brass etc mods in storage, but those are all mech mods that I don't use anymore. Sent from my Thor E using Tapatalk
