    Stop Hoarding The Cotton

    How? The rolled cotton is cleaner and more consistent, both things that are perfect for wicks.

    Over paid :/

    Overpaying at a B&M is a vaper right of passage. Everybody ends up doing it.

    High wattage vaping

    It's all about what atomizer you have. I can vape at 80 watts with no burning at all. You have to consider what atomizer you're using, what coil(s) and wicks you're using and what liquid you're using. All of these things matter, higher VG liquids don't wick well in clearomizers/cartos compared...

    clone vs original- noticeable difference?

    From my experience the main differences are quality and longevity. I've had clone mods that stick and don't work quite right where as the authentic version is smooth and functions perfectly. (K100) I had a clone of the IGO-L it rusted after a few weeks of use. I bought an authentic IGO-L, it has...

    what grinds your gears? post about your atomizer annoyances here

    The helios is quite the good little atty. I keep meaning to slot mine so I can put a quad coil in it. The helios does make dual coils really easy though. If it wasn't for the $120 price tag it'd be my go to recommendation for vapers getting into RBAs.

    what grinds your gears? post about your atomizer annoyances here

    Yep, my matte (brushed SS) Nemesis is a little over 6 months old and other than a few scratches it still looks almost new and I have yet to clean it other than wipe it down and remove gunk from the switch/threading.

    The Vicious Ant Valkyrie Logo

    I know many of us have become desensitized to cloning, ripping off, straight out stealing of intellectual property, largely due to the massive market of clones in the vaping world. Some people turn to them for cost reasons, other people have their own reasons, whatever, I'm not here to judge. I...

    Where do you have the biggest urge to smoke analogs?

    Whenever I smell somebody smoking a clove and get that delightful spice-filled scent. But it's always followed by the putrid smell of a burning cigarette, so that quickly removes any craving.

    what grinds your gears? post about your atomizer annoyances here

    This is why I only by brushed finish mods instead of their polished counter parts. The polished finish is too fragile, and I like the look of brushed metal more anyways. :)

    Voltage drop across resistors, in this case, resistance wire

    I understand that voltage will drop when it flows through something that does work. The most common example I can think of would be wire. When electricity flows through wire it loses some of it's power because the wire has a resistance (this energy is lost as heat), over short distances this...

    what grinds your gears? post about your atomizer annoyances here

    Flat head screws in atomizers bug the crap out of me. They're so annoying to screw/unscrew, it's why my trident sits in a drawer now, waste of money. Even the little allen tool nuts are easier to use(provided you have a real allen tool and not the tiny little thing that they usually come with)...

    Hybrid dripper that fits an 18650?

    Awesome! My problem with the Valkyrie was all of the issues it had, I could not find a newer version one in stock. I think I will join the group buy on Congrevape. Thanks for the info. I do not like the look of the Spyrax though, but thanks again.

    Do Hybrid Mods hit harder or have lower volatage drop?

    In theory, they are supposed to have a better connection because they have one less contact (the atomizer touches the battery directly. The better connection, again in theory, would mean the device would handle better under load. So, to answer your question, yes.

    Hybrid dripper that fits an 18650?

    I'm looking for a hybrid mod that has a dripping atomizer styled top. The only one I've come across so far is the Valkyrie. Every other hybrid I've seen so far has been topped with a genesis style atomizer. Are there any out there? OR are there any dripping atomizers that have Nemesis threading...

    Wide Bore Drip Tip

    You could try a Mystic Atmos A140, it's what I have on my Omega and I love it. If you google "Mystic Atmos A140" you'll find it at a bunch of vendors in brass and stainless steel. I bought a stainless steel one because I think it looks better with the Omega. Sometimes it will come with a plastic...

    I can't stand black licorice but licorice flavored liquids I like sometimes. Lemon Fairy from Ahlusion is pretty good.
