    Oxidation on contact

    The best way to clean your contacts is simply to remove and polish them. I use Mother's Mag & Aluminum, but any decent metal polish will work. Yes, you will have to do this every once in a while, but there's no way to actually prevent the oxidation. I just find this easiest, and you'll be amazed...

    The whole "Kids!" thing...

    I heard he never came back from his treasure hunt. Something about One-Eyed Willy? Anyway, the fact of the matter is that vaping is currently a "trend". Zumiez were a trend too, but any damages incurred by them were not attributed to the roller skate industry. Also, are these kids vaping with a...

    Best NON sub-ohm coil? NON sub-ohm 32ga kanthal?

    You could increase the diameter of the microcoil to help get the resistance up. But that said, I can easily get 1.0 -1.1 ohms with 28g just wrapping around two strands of 2.5mm or 3mm silica. You just have to wrap them carefully, because if you wrap one of the coils wrong or it deforms, I find...

    Buffalo Mod by Mojo

    Google "buffalo" and then "bull". Look at the patch of hair around the neck of a buffalo that the bull lacks. Now look at Mojo's logo. It's a buffalo. It just has over masculine horns. :2cool:

    Caravela Drip Tank

    If I recall, the Vela Latina drip tank (which I assume this is a clone of) isn't a rebuildable atomizer, but a feeding system for a standard 306 atomizer (which means it wouldn't even work with a Diver or similar RBA). Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

    Cant vape in the house.....aruggggggggggggggg

    My girlfriend's mom hated the fact that I (and my whole family) smoked. She apparently could smell it on one of my girlfriend's coats that had spent the night at my house (I should clarify that she lives in Massachusetts, and I in Pennsylvania). She said she was allergic to it. I, personally...

    need help choosing.

    A Provari is great (and would be my personal preference between the two), but keep in mind you'd actually have to keep dripping with a standard 510 atomizer. You said you like bottom feeding, and when combined with the fact that you like the 357's, the logical choice would be the Reo. Now if...

    The Chi-You APV - From Korea

    Mine fires perfectly no matter where I press the button... Have you polished the contacts? Not just cleaned, but removed any oxidation?

    KFL+ is stuck on Stingray top cap!

    There are tools at Home Depot that use a rubber belt that are meant to unlock/unfreeze pipes. It grips and gives you enough torque to unlock basically anything threaded together. I bought one when one of my old mods completely locked up. Funny thing is, I use it a lot more than I thought I...

    Need help fixing KTS+ (AKA China GG)

    Personally, I would just call it a loss. You don't want to mess around with potentially shorting a battery. If you can fix it, great! But if you're even a little bit unsure, don't try. KTS's are cheap enough; 30 bucks or less isn't worth risking your face. In the future, a warm/hot button...

    Wire rope and hotspots galore

    Hello all! I'm not new to the rebuilding scene, but I am new to the wire rope party. I'm setting up my Bliss with two wire rope wicks. The tops are covered with a decent thickness of regular mesh, and just enough so the mesh barely enters the wick holes. I'm wrapping my 30g coils, intending...

    OMG I Was So Bad This Morning...Vape Orders

    Your bank account may hate you for a few weeks, but nothing will beat the feeling of when you see one of those boxes in your mailbox. And if they both come on the same day, your head just might explode, so be careful!

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    Where does that carto tank come from? Does it have chromed brass endcaps and a polycarbonate tank? ... Kidding! The funny thing is... it's usually people from my side that start these threads. :tongue:

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    For me, it's not even really about the self gratification of owning an original (although it does feel good to know I do). I don't really care what other people think (at my local vape shop, I'll have my Kayfun Lite + and most others will have a clone. The discussion goes: "Is that a real one?"...

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    Hmmm... let's see the logic. Creationism has absolutely no scientific basis. Thus, don't teach it in my science classes. Simple, no? I wouldn't deny your right to believe in it, or teach it to your own children (I'd be critical of it, but I wouldn't deny you it). But I will fight to keep...

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    My general philosophy is "live and let live", but I take sides when something negatively affects someone else, such as teaching creationism in school. Obviously my opinion against "replicas" is not as strong as against creationism, but understand that while this stuff doesn't really affect us in...

    How many does one person actually need? Discuss......

    I like to have a little of everything... I went through my mod craze, now it's my opinion that rebuildable atomizers are where the real fun is at. I probably own double or triple the amount of RBA's than I do mods. A little of everything, and multiples of what I really like.

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    You called it a ripoff, which to me is a form of bashing (calling anything a ripoff is bashing not only the product, but the maker). But it is a bit of a contradiction. By buying a stolen design that you may love, you're effectively snubbing the person who created that design which you love. In...

    Chinese clones Rant / Discussion

    Then my question is... why buy it? There are plenty at least semi-original mods from china (not counterfeits). If there was a cheap exact replica of a Rolls Royce, why would someone buy it? Just for the illusion of driving one? What would it do that an original Toyota couldn't? This is the...
