    starting my venture into RBA, have I got everything I need?

    My apologies for coming across as a Richard. Once you've wrapped enough coils you get to know how many wraps of what gauge wire will give you the resistance you're looking for. You also get to know coil placement, checking for the usual suspects for shorts and such. Most ego batteries will not...

    starting my venture into RBA, have I got everything I need?

    You're not listening to advice. I don't mean to come across as a jerk, but you're firing a coil that you built with limited knowledge and no way of checking resistance, seeing if there is a short, etc and so forth. You state you don't want a battery blowing up in your face, but you take...

    First Micro Coil

    I'm pretty new to this myself, but will offer some insight based on my limited experience. I know you say your connections are fine, but check them again. Usually jumping resistance is because of a bad connection to the + or - post, especially if you break the wire while tightening the screws...

    Newbie coughing..

    Just to add another variable to the mix: your juice may just need to steep for a bit to mellow out. I've had some juice right from the mail that were great, and others that were really harsh. I believe it could be some of the flavors used being alcohol extractions, which would explain the...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    12mg Bobas Bounty, 1.6 ohm single cotton wicked micro coil in my igo w atop a vamo v3 at 4 volts. Not too shabby.

    What are you waiting for in the mail?

    A little bit of everything and 15mL pearship from AiV, 9 juices and a bottle of sweetener from mr t's bakery, 8 from the vapor chef, a ten pack of fling minis from white cloud (trying to convert my 2 pad father), and a zapper v2. Luckily I just got my igo w all set up and 30mL bobas bounty, so...

    Do dark juices deteriorate plastic?

    Cola itself is pretty acidic, but I can't really comment on the makeup of the e liquid you have. Mallow and ic/vanilla should be fine. I have two evods filled with coffee and dark chocolate raspberry, both of which are dark juices, and have not had any issues other than the coils getting gunked...

    Nickel Non-Resistance Wire

    Pure nickel wire is used in some builds, such as the stock heads for kanger bcc's, where there are long leads that could burn up the rubber grommet and taste like death. Depending on what type of rebuild you're doing, you may want to hold onto the non-res (nickel) wire, but you'll definitely...

    I'm sick, vaping helps

    Everyone called me crazy when I picked up a 30mL bottle of EVO Frostbite for cold and flu season...

    protank II

    Just to add my $0.02: if you don't plan on getting into rebuilding the coils anytime soon (though you should cuz cotton wicks in the pt2 have been treating me VERY well) there is a simple improvement - pop the stem off the coil head, remove the silica flavor wicks, and replace with a thread or...

    What eJuice makers are not telling us about PG and VG

    Seriously, where did the other 42.5g come from?

    I did it! Vamo v3

    Nice choice op, have had mine for about 2 weeks now and love it just as much as day one. I'm still stuck on voltage mode though cuz I seem to like different flavors at different power outputs. I agree with the lightsaber comments, though my sister in law just told me the other night it looks...

    non stop

    Probably gonna step down again soon as well, after learning to rebuild my own coils with cotton wicks - just about doubled clouds and I can really feel the extra nic hit.

    non stop

    Started out basically the same as you - nonstop 18mg vaping. Took about a week to actually start feeling the nic overload, so I stepped it down to 16. Now, 4 weeks later, most of my juice is 11-12mg. Didn't help much, did I lol. Long story short: if you enjoy vaping constantly just step...

    Head ohms and expired juice?

    Only expiration date I've seen on my juices state 24 month expiry as long as its stored in a cool dark place. As for the evod heads for a standard ego style battery, I would go with either the 1.8 or 2.2 ohm heads. 2.5 ohms on a battery with ~3.7v output just doesn't come close to doing the...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    Just finished dripping 9 different flavors from the vapor chef, ended up killing about 1/3 bottle of Southern Hospitality - peach tobacco with a hint of dark brown sugar. Damn tasty. Their deep thought is gonna be real good after some more steeping too.

    What eJuice makers are not telling us about PG and VG

    I'm not a doctor, so I won't even begin to offer medical advice... Especially on an Internet forum where any such thing should be taken with a grain of salt. I will however argue a simple rule of nature: how does one get 142.5 grams of carbs from 100 grams of any substance?

    What's up with Halo customer service?

    Even if the factory seal is still intact, doesn't mean you couldn't have used a small gauge syringe or something to taint the juice. Not specifically pointing fingers at you, but there are some sick twisted individuals on this planet.

    Fall and Hoilday Juices?

    Sounds good if they got the sweetness right. I'll have to check them out, thanks for the recommendation. I really wanna try that punkin juice from AiV too - pumpkin cheesecake sounds delicious.

    Fall and Hoilday Juices?

    I'm open to suggestions as well. Looking forward to some good pumpkin flavors to go with all these pumpkin ales. Pecan pie would be a delicious holiday juice if they got it right.
