    I got bitten hard!

    I used to be mod crazy... owned many in a short time. But now I've stuck with two models: my Galileo (by Yasu, not Smok), and my Titan/Cronus by VHO. I own several aluminum Galileo's and a few stainless ones. My Titan and Cronus are my "intense" vapes, as I've found nothing that hits as hard as...

    Question on my vapemail

    Yeah, I meant to type 18490 in my last post... Haha. They will be fine with 0.7 ohms. I've seen different limits too for 18490. I've seen 10, and I've seen about 16. If it has a C rating of 10, it should be about 16.

    "Clones" are actually the REAL THING

    That's the thing. Some people want the look of an original, and the illusion of a high end mod, but don't want to spend the cash to support the person that invented the very thing they want, and in fact many blame them for driving people to the counterfeits. I just don't understand that...

    Question on my vapemail

    Ehhh... that might be taunting an angry bull there. An AW IMR 18350 has a 6 amp limit. At 4.2 volts (the preferred estimate when calculating how low you can go) a 0.7 ohm coil is drawing 6 amps. That means 0.5 ohms (which is drawing ~8.4 amps) could potentially blow a fully charged 18350. And if...

    any reason not to get a bulli a2 classic?

    I also agree that the Bulli series is a bit outdated. That said, I still own and use and love a Bulli A2-T. It was my first rebuildable ever, so how could I not? :) And at about 45 bucks from VaporCigzz, the Bulli A2 is a decently priced name-brand atomizer, I believe. The wires in the base...

    Popping and spitting juice with a microcoil

    Spit back usually happens when you over drip, even with a regular coil. But this can also happen if you use too little cotton... Could you show us a picture of your setup?

    Questions about RSST on a Silver Bullet

    I agree with Mike. Stacking batteries is just asking for them to vent, especially if you plan to use rebuildables. There are two simple ways to get an extra "kick" in your vape. The first is called, ironically, a Kick! I'm sure you've heard of it... it's the little module that lets you control...

    "Clones" are actually the REAL THING

    I... actually kinda agree with this. It's a byproduct of our capitalist society (and don't lie, China... you're right behind the US in that department). Meaning, competition creates innovation. I don't think anyone can disagree with that. Granted, it's not for the right reasons in my opinion...

    Is this battery safe for mechanical?

    The replacement pink batteries for the eVic I've found have all been Samsung ICR's... ICR's, as far as I can tell, are just standard Li-ion. According to this site: ICR 18650-26F SAMSUNG - Rechargeable battery: Li-Ion | Transfer Multisort Elektronik The amp limit of those batteries is about...

    Need some help

    Try this: take a nice thick rubber band, and while pushing the button wrap it around the circumference of the pin. Take a pair of pliers, grip the rubber banded pin, and try to unscrew it that way. The rubber band should keep the pin unscratched and also act as a better grip. Once it's out you...

    response from Senator Dianne Feinstein

    The Soviet Union wasn't really communist... it was right after the revolution, but as soon as Stalin took over it became something like state capitalism. Why Americans have such a biased (and ill-informed) view of communism is beyond me. They likely have never read Marx and simply base their...

    Need some help

    Could you post some pictures of the button? Particularly a top picture of the center pin and a bottom picture of the button itself. It's hard to diagnose or cure without a picture or knowing what mod it is.

    "Clones" are actually the REAL THING

    Considering you're using that metal tube all day, every day, I'd say the likelihood of needing support sometime in the future is relatively high. Mechanisms fail, threads wear down, and most metals are not chemically inert. This is particularly relevant for aluminum mods such as the Titan.

    response from Senator Dianne Feinstein

    What's wrong with Communist ideology? That everyone should live equally good lives? Don't forget that it's our Capitalism that has created the poor and homeless and has essentially eliminated the middle class. And as much as I support democracy, you've got to admit it has led to stupid people...

    response from Senator Dianne Feinstein

    H. G. Wells believed in a world state run by the smartest (not richest or most powerful) people in society; i.e., scientists. Instead we're represented and governed by mostly lawyers who don't really understand, or care to understand, how our earth, and physical reality as a whole, works. If...

    "Clones" are actually the REAL THING

    Has anyone considered that when you buy an original, you're also paying for customer service and support? VapeHead Origins is a perfect example... I'm a member of all three groups on Facebook (Tech Support, Merchandise, and the USA group) and the level of support they offer to people who own...

    Need help with my first Mech Mod

    Don't buy batteries from them. The quality (and authenticity) of them could be in question. I've read of regular Li-ion's being rebranded as AW IMR's, even down to the red label. Batteries are one thing in vaping you should never pinch pennies with, or buy blindly, so I'd say head over to...

    "Clones" are actually the REAL THING

    It's also nature for a male to copulate with as many females he can in an attempt to pass on as much of his genetics as possible... but I (hopefully) doubt anyone here is going to condone that. ;)

    Nemesis Clone Serial Number, Star Trek, & a greater meaning.....

    I actually love to Wikipedia all of my serial numbers... it's fun seeing what significance, if any, the number holds. And trust me, there's meaning behind every number! For example, one of my Galileo's serial numbers is 97... well, Messier 97 (just M97) is the Owl Nebula, which is very cool to...

    Opposite of slowtech IGO-w taste funny

    I used to get a funny taste after dry burning and rinsing... turns out it was the water in the coils I was tasting. Now after rinsing I pulse the coil until the "hiss" disappears, and it tastes fine. Glad yours is up and running. :)
