    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    Again, thanks a ton, Rader. It makes a huge difference basing these calculations on correct information. :toast:

    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    If your coils in the middle glow red hot not enough juice is getting to your wick. I suggest to trash that coil and wick, as you have a major short and have likely damaged the mesh at this point. (You could also re-roll the mesh inside out, so the the damaged portion is near the center of the...

    Get some 30ga Kanthal wire. Beside the fact you'll get far more vape by volume, it's pretty difficult to pop that wire, and has never happened to me, and I have popped just about everything else. The reason is obviously a short, but when the wire pops it doesn't give you any time to investigate...

    Who recommends the ceramic wicks vs SS mesh?

    Hey Rule ... I still have the best SS setup I ever cobbled together in my ZAP. Solid, full 1/8 diameter, wicks perfect when tipped, no complaints ... she was my pride and joy of vaping ... nothing I ever set up before was this sweet ... but that was before dipping my toes into ceramics a couple...

    Who recommends the ceramic wicks vs SS mesh?

    As far as I'm concerned, to not realize the vast improvement of taste ceramic has over SS mesh is because of: 1. Your wick/coil setup is improper. 3. Wick too tightly installed in wickhole, not enough airflow. 3. Not using the post-February 2013 ceramic wicks. 4. Inadequate power...

    1/8" ceramic wick ?

    The 7mm or so depth of the ZAP's wickhole ... that zone can be sanded down to 7/64 on an 1/8 ceramic wick to allow air exchange and juice to travel up the outside walls of the wick. Personally I think this is even better than using a 7/64 wick from the start ... but those are only my 2 cents...

    4/5 wrap ... 30ga kanthal by the looks of things. Something's not completely fastened down someplace.

    1/8" ceramic wick ?

    It's 1/8 exactly. 3.175mm. Your 1/8 ceramic wick will fit, if not a quick 400 grid sandpaper job will do the trick. Some have said earlier ZAPs had smaller wickholes.

    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    I will. Just trashed the ones I made. 'The Natural' is not a telescopic mod and has somewhat limited adjustment for different battery sizes. Have several Panny 2900 High Drains on the way which I need to have in order to determine how much I'll have to cut off the bottom cap pin, how much to...

    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    My RSST & Natural just arrived ... it only threaded down as far as the Natural's top 510 connection leaving a large gap which I just spent half an hour grinding down so it sits flush My RSST threads just fine, just way too much gap in every mod I have, and why I shaved the 510 down on the...

    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    Cool. I was primarily interested in the mech mod aspect. Forgot to mention that. Resting voltage of battery = 4.1 volts measured. Pos. & neg. on atty on mechanical when fired reads 3.46 volts. I would use the second value above?

    New E Vic 1.3 Coming!

    Use 7-Zip. Some .rar files though will only extract with WinRAR, esp. if they are multi-volume archives.

    Is there such a thing as a good 26500 battery?

    Rader ... thanks so much for your informative replies. Have a question: When calculating values using Electronic Calculators, what value should be used for the voltage? The measured voltage by volt-meter from the battery, or 3.7v what is stated on the battery itself, or the measured voltage...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I don't have any slotted, but still a good stash of the March releases left. These are much lighter and porous than the January issues and depending whether different bonding agents/processes have been utilized, they might also be a little more frail -- hard to say though. A selection would be...

    SmokTech RSST Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer

    Is it really a threading issue or is the RSST's center 510 connection pos. post sticking out too far at the bottom? Have you tried pulling it up a bit with a Phillips? I don't have a Sigelei Telescope #19, but can the pos. battery 510 connection be backed down a bit with screwdriver from...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    In respect to the electrically annealed wrap ... 1. Heatsink effect is vastly reduced due to lack of solid coil-contact with the wick. 2. Juice wicks nearly unrestricted between coil and wick ideal for chain-vaping esp. with thicker VG juices. Once a wick has been fully juice-saturated, upflow...

    fc-2000 porous ceramic wick

    I also feel with the recent ceramic wick releases that I have achieved Vaping Nirvana, at least very close to it that I am not really further interested in whatever else may wick any better. But other issues come into play with this new wick as it's said to be less fragile, and I see that as...

    aga t 2 - achieving higher resistance?

    My point is that a wick can be rolled uniform, 28ga coils can be wrapped without any voids, and without having to crush them in too tight. It's quite doable. If you are running a good high drain battery even on regulated mods you won't get much in the way of any delay time to fire even a 7/8...

    Newbies Having trouble with AGA-T+

    Best to keep it at or above 1.5 ohms. Going lower than that and the amp limit of the eVic comes into question.
