    Kanthal Wire

    I'm not an electrical genius myself either. Bookmark any Ohm's Law calculator and start plugging numbers in. Batteries have a mah rating -milliamp hours . The fewer amps you draw from the battery - the longer the charge lasts. Example:-------------------------------...

    Noob experience - getting better at the 'art' of tasting juices. Dekang 555, RY4, USA Mix

    I agree with your thought process . I haven't anything to add other than those new to vaping also have a dulled sense of taste due to smoking tobacco. Usually this subsides over time after ceasing tobacco smoking though we all suffer from times when taste buds dull for a short period long after...

    Food coloring, is it ok to use in DIY E-juice?

    Any answer other than ,"We do not know", is speculation. The truth is ,yes , we are exposed to chemicals and dyes on a daily basis. Studies have been done on exposure limits to most chemicals (MSDS). Food dyes are GRAS for eating . Vaping is a whole other deal. Fact : We may inhale paint...

    Having big problems with Apollo over broken tube - looking for advice.

    I have never seen a Vtube in person . Is the pin you are talking about the positive center pin? 510 connecter ? If so, it is probably shorting to the mod body. I.E. When that pin came out, I believe there is an o-ring/ gasket material that goes on the pin on the underside (from inside the cap or...

    Using a 1.5 ohm 510 atomizer on a KGO?

    You should redrip before that harsh taste. I too am a dripper .I tend to drip 3 drops on a 510 or 901 atty, 2-3 drops on a 306. When the flavor or vapor begins to diminish, I drip again. Also, the lr attys are juice hungry compared to sr.

    Whoa! Too much Throat hit! Help!!!

    It is not at all unusual for new vapors to find the hit quite harsh . As previous posters have stated , nic content and pg % contribute to throat hit. As Harplayr pointed out , lower resistance atomizer/cartomizers make for a warmer vapor which further exacerbates the issue. Some people are...
