    High-End Mechanicals Chat, Tips, and Pics

    I would call the Cronus high end... I would even call the Titan high end. They're not as shiny or smooth as, say, a Caravela or GGTS (despite having a price tag that rivals them), but they're expertly crafted, which in my opinion is one of the key definitions for a "high end mod". I don't think...

    Goodbye money... a new RBA

    Here's something me and a few others had to figure out for themselves: When you build, make sure your coils are a bit raised, about inline or a bit higher with the holes where you insert your wire. The airholes on the Helios are quite high, and if you build your coils too low (flush with the...

    Mesh on the go...

    A dripping atomizer can hold more juice than people think. On a bone dry or freshly built dual coil, I can typically drop on about 10 drops before it's completely saturated. That's half a mL. I'm also using pretty short (albeit thick) wicks. Granted it burns through juice faster, but that's...

    Questions About Batteries

    1. You can, but see #2 2. It's actually preferable to use IMR batteries in mechanical mods. They're generally considered safer overall. 3. I think you should only use IMR in VV/VW mods. 4. I believe you can get the amps from the mAh rating - divide by 100 (it's just dimensional analysis). For...

    EHPro mechanicals tips, tricks, pics, and nits

    Has anyone seen this? electronic cigarette mechanical mod titan mod, View titan mod, Ehpro Product Details from Shenzhen Ehpro Technology Co., Ltd. on Alibaba.com It looks like EHPro might be cloning the Titan and Cronus. I'm an admitted VHO fanboy, so I'm not sure how I feel about this. :tongue:

    Silver Bullet and extras - help please :)

    It's not, it's technically an electrical APV (has some wires from battery to atomizer). However, from what I hear it's one of the most reliable mods on the market. :)

    Wild Nicotine Dreams

    Acetylcholine is a chemical that mainly stimulates muscles, and too much of it can be deadly. In fact, nerve gas shuts down the enzyme in your body that breaks down acetylcholine, which is why it's so sadistically dangerous. Generally speaking, nightmares arise from your body being uncomfortable...

    Drippers or Genesis?

    Each one has their own has their own benefits. A dripper is essentially foolproof, which is what I love about them. There's never a concern about wicking, and the vapor is usually warmer simply because most drippers are very small. A genesis is wonderful too, but the setup is a bit more finicky...

    traditional coil or micro coil

    Generally speaking, yes. You want the air to pass directly over the coils to essentially cool them down. To be honest, I'm not sure if this would make a noticeably "cooler" vape, but it's definitely a better vape. The flavor is much better, and the throat hit is less intense, but trust me when I...

    Stupid question regarding bottom buttons in mechanical mods

    Years of piano playing has given my pinky an edge in the bottom button world. Usually I curl my pinky in and use the third knuckle (the one closest to the nail). It's always been the most comfortable for me. With bottom buttons, using anything but the pinky feels awkward, at least for me. But...

    What are the top mechanical mods?

    Not to be a VHO fanboy (but I am), the Cronus is the best mod I've ever owned. Their Titan mod is also advertised as having zero voltage drop, or damn near close to it. The Cronus is SS, and it hits HARD. I couldn't imagine the same setup on an aluminum mod (which the Titan is), but I can only...

    Just got my first rebuildable and I need some help

    I'm looking at the picture, and am a little confused... unless my eyes deceive me, it seems like both ends of the wire are coming off of the positive post? I mean, it is grounded, but if that side of the wire is touching the positive post, it might screw up your reading.

    why are we doing this anyway?

    When I was in high school chemistry (and general chemistry in college) they taught us about electron orbitals. Nothing much about them, we just knew that in a specific shell around a nucleus, that's where the electrons were whizzing around. Fast forward to senior year, during the second semester...

    mtbakervapor

    After a few months of vaping only fruit flavors, I got the itch for a good tobacco flavor, so I came to Mt. Baker! I got 4 bottles of 30mL, all 18mg: Oriental, Latakia, Ankara, and Honey Wood. Latakia is my favorite so far... the Honey Wood is growing on me, and the Ankara is nice and bitter...

    Sentinel Clone Mechanical shorts out batteries?

    I'm surprised no one has asked yet what type of atomizer is being used... With a floating center pin, sometimes if you overtighten it, you compress the insulator on the atomizer connection and it shorts out there. I think AGAs and other genesis that use those soft silicone insulators have this...

    Battery charge time? How long?

    I have a TR-001 charger... I've had it for almost a year now, and it still charges every battery I own to ~4.16, every time. One thing I've noticed (besides an annoying buzzing sound on occasion) is that sometimes the light doesn't turn green when the battery is fully charged. This normally only...

    Damaged the wick hole insulator... help!

    I've thought about that, but without the insulator in, the wick hole is too big - the wick is almost pressed up against the positive post. I'm on the hunt for a high-temp plastic tube with the right dimensions. It's funny... when I examined the insulator that came out, it was oddly similar in...

    Damaged the wick hole insulator... help!

    So I got a Somnium second hand today. Gorgeous little atomizer... I've always wanted one. I set it up, wrapped a damn fine coil, it fired perfectly. I wanted to play with it some more, so I went to take the wick out, and... it was stuck! I eventually had to grab a pair of pliers and yank the...

    Brass mod engravings wearing off?

    I'm not sure exactly why this might happen, but I can assure you it's not the tarnish. Oxidation on brass is really only a few microns thick (a few layers of molecules), and there's no way that would fill in the engraving. My guess is the loss of a reflective surface has just made them less...

    VHO Helios Question

    Very nice! I did some experimenting myself, and just now almost coughed my lungs out. I prefer a tight draw, but as per your setup, I opened up one complete airhole and did a complete lung inhale (which I'm not used to), and holy cow! The coughing was followed only by obscenities. And I'm only...
