    Did Clone Genesis style wick help.

    Just purchased a Did Clone genesis style. Very nice work on the device, came with ss mesh but I'm going to run with cotton. Now I have already been coil/rewicking my vivi nova's with cotton and got that down. Using the same method of cotton/coil building for my did clone does not do well...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Here is a mod I found interesting called the Acorn (I can see why). Thought us and other vivi nova modders might find this intersting. It uses Ce2 atomizer heads which I have no experience with but see why a ceramic cup would be much easier to work with for mods. I found it at Tank Mods I...

    Looking for a good Genesis clone

    Well I went with a did clone, comes with ss mesh for wicks. I have been reading i should avoid using ss mesh if I'm pairing my did clone with aen ego twist so I should be fine using cotton. I'll just have to double check everything on the multimeter and my better short cicuit protected passthrough.

    Yeah I've always gotten the 60 mg per ml in 100% vegetable glycerin base. The 60 and 100 are pretty close to the same price for what you are getting with different size bottles and with 60 mg you get a lot more vegetable glycerin (or whatever mixture you choose). I seem to like my juices around...

    Smoktech Vivi Tank New stock Upgrade!

    Yeah, the plastic fill plug stood out to me as well. I'd rather have a ss skrew with a o-ring. When I can afford it I'll post any mods and give it a review. Anyone else that gets one, I'd love to see a hands on opinion. :vapor:

    Smoktech Vivi Tank New stock Upgrade!

    I didn't post because i didn't want to seem as promoting it or anything. I got the pics from gotvapes, I really like the quick spring design, if someone made the screws ajustable I think they're on to something. I'll definitely get one eventually to play with. A glass tank and a glass or ss...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Thanks for the help, the nice thing about buying wire from kingorchid on ebay is well first it's cheap and he lists the ohms per foot. 33 Awg Kanthal - 17.6 ohm/ft. 32 Awg Nichrome - 10.57 ohm/ft. 30 Awg Kanthal - 8.55 ohm/ft. Haven't tried the nichrome yet, but i do see the advantage of less...

    I have found less is always more with flavoring. You can always add more, but give or take a few drops can make or break a juice. When I first started mixing I made them too strong. Those light hints of flavor I found make a great all day vape. The ones just a little too strong might taste...

    Smoktech Vivi Tank New stock Upgrade!

    I have been looking at the smoktech vivi tank but decided to get something different with all chrome/steel. Looks like they made some very interesting upgrades/fixes. I like that the spring system idea. Looks like it has a lot more potential than the last design. Btw I'm not promoting this or...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    So you're saying I should just double twist my 30 awg kanthal rather than use nr wire? For some reason I was thinking the thicker gauge might burn the grommets easier than my 33 gauge.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Well I got my nickle NR, 30 awg kanthal, 32 awg nichrome, 33 awg kanthal. I just spent a few hours trying to twist the non resistant wire to the 30 gauge kanthal with no success. Anyone have any nr to rw twisting/wrapping technique that you have perfected for the vivi nova head?

    Wizard Labs- Your Favorite Flavors

    A good tip I have noticed is try to buy flavors that say "concentrate", because if it just says Flavor it's only 10 percent flavoring and the rest is PG. Thats why my commercial tobacco flavor is gone and the rest of my flavor bottles are almost full still. I just placed an order, and instead of...

    Any tips for avoiding discoloration?

    after a few days of use I notice this. I just fill with VG only (you could prolly use any juice) let it soak so those residuals leach out of the wick and dump. Refill as much as I'm comfortable with and and taste clean and new again. Luckily my cotton wicks leach really well causeing the...

    Its Caramel flavor concentrate. Let me know if you like it, sometimes it's those small hints of flavor that turn a good juice into a favorite. :)

    About to order some more supplies, and more flavors. Just ran out of Commercial tobacco flavor, it's a great tobacco flavor to start out with for anyone because it's a very mild lightly sweet tobacco flavor. Sticking with different tobacco flavors, different sweeteners, and menthols seems to be...

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Glad to see another Michigander on the forum :). I've just ordered some 30 awg kanthal, 32 nichrome, 32 nr nickle to add some more to the arsenal. I've been using 33 gauge kanthal so I know what you mean about wanting something lower in ohms.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild tutorial

    Best explanation so far I think! Metal oxides created during exposure to heat and oxygen createing an electrical insulator makes a lot of sense to me. I make my own straight razors so I know how quick heat can create oxidation. Thanks for the write up.
