    By Leo : Attys, mods, Drip-tips, tanks [CLOSED}

    Tankless dripping is the purpose for which I bought my first Sophia. With the wick tails cut off and the liquid control closed, it's as close to a disposable dripping atomizer as you'll get. The bell presents absolutely no problem--if anything, it ensures the drip hits the coil/wick, if the...

    The Sophia Rebuildable Atomizer by Leo **Discussion & Tips**

    You might try trimming off one silica tail and "unscrewing" the silica out of the factory coil without damaging it, then rewicking with cotton. I forced myself to vape the stock setup to remind me why I switched to cotton. :D

    The Sophia Rebuildable Atomizer by Leo **Discussion & Tips**

    I bought one pack each of the 1.2Ω, 1.5Ω, and 1.8Ω and have used the latter two with cotton by wrapping the R section around a 1/16" drill bit. I'm assuming they're 32 AWG in the R section as with the NR, but I haven't measured them.

    The Sophia Rebuildable Atomizer by Leo **Discussion & Tips**

    Thoughts on not using NR wire. I wouldn't do it. Stormy's Vapor Cellar Kanthal Ready Wires make coiling as fast as plain resistance wire.

    Comment by 'NicoHolic' in 'A nicoholic's LIFELINE'

    This blog post was written for those who aren't planning a lifetime supply of nicotine base, as a wake up call and a way to stay off tobacco.

    Will all this water vapor give me bronchitis ?

    Most e-liquids are propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerine and few have water in them (but some do). E-cig vapor actually removes a tiny bit of water from your lungs, so you need to stay hydrated when vaping. The statement about exhaling only "water vapor" is a lie/myth. You exhale mainly...

    Dear lord what have I been missing this whole time? First impressions on a Reo.

    The only mod that leaves home with me is a REO Grand with 0.8Ω safe for work cotton wicked micro coil. It's so important to my work day/long day vaping, I have a backup, sporting a 0.5Ω coil. That said, I love my 20 mm diameter Super-T Simplicity 18500 for home. Rather than go for a Strata, I...

    Any vapers still enjoy the occasional cigar?

    Yep. Have a coolidor full of cigars and English pipe tobacco. Not gonna stop hitting it occasionally.

    Yes, it does. It's designed for use with a 35 mm standard length tank where it results in a 15 mm drip tip. In a 45 mm XL tank, only 5 mm protrudes.

    I'm grateful for Technonut's link to Stormy's Vapor Cellar Kanthal Ready Wires in the Sophia thread he started. These are a real bargain and they've worked very well for me. I like the 1.8Ω in a 19 x 35 mm (1.5 ml) IBTanked and the 1.5Ω in the 19 x 45 (2.0 ml) on an 18490 mech. I also got some...

    direct dripping bridgless atomizer for innokin vv v3

    Dripping a bridge-free atomizer is, IMO, the ultimate in vaping, especially for flavor. Many agree. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizers-cartridges/405910-regular-atty-drippers-dying-breed.html You can use any 510 (510 drip tip required) or 306 (306 drip tip required) above about...

    Smallest device?

    Super-T Manufacturing Precise Simplicity 18350 next to an 18650 battery... 20 mm diameter x 66 mm. The Simplicities work nicely with 19mm IBTanked carto tanks, especially holding a Sophia RBA.

    Does this seem like a good beginner setup?

    Your First E-cigarette

    It had to happen...

    3 mm is pretty close to an 1/8" drill bit. Diameter of a micro coil is 1/16" or closer to 1.6 mm. Try 8 wraps of 28 around a 2 mm bit.

    Nicotine base

    100 mg/ml (10%) nicotine is relatively safe to use if you use eye and skin protection. It is also easy to calculate with. For 12 mg/ml result, use 12% 100 mg/ml in your final solution, i.e. if you're making 10 ml, 12% of that is 1.2 ml. Note that because your nicotine base is 100% PG, you...

    Nicotine base

    It's extremely unlikely your nicotine concentration is 100% (999.x mg/ml), we aren't even supposed to be discussing it on ECF. If it is, you need to know a lot more than you know now before you even open the bottle. If it is the more common 10% (100 mg/ml), you just need to use caution.

    Nicotine base

    If you mix 4.5 ml VG + 4.5 ml PG + 1.0 ml water +1.2 ml 100 mg/ml nic base, you'll have 11.2 ml of stuff to put in a 10 ml bottle that already has 0.35 ml of flavoring in it. You need to be shooting to make 9.65 ml. You have the right amount of 100 mg/ml nicotine base to make 12 mg/ml in a 10...

    Will 28g heat up faster than 26g (equal weight)

    For the same weight, you'll have a shorter, fatter, lower resistance length of 26 AWG with higher current (given the same voltage). It will develop more power and heat up faster than the 28.

    Will a higher ohm coil last longer than a lower ohm coil?

    If you're talking clearomizer heads, particularly Kanger, I bought 1.8Ω (which usually read higher) for the Vapeaggedon flexibility. They'll work on just about any battery. The 2.5Ω are too weak on a mech, and especially on a 3.3V regulated battery.
