    iSmoka Magoo building problem

    You need to stop and buy an ohm meter before firing any build on a mod, especially a mechanical mod. You could get a short and.... The number of wraps that you use depends on the resistance you want. The longer the piece of Kanthal between the NR wire, the higher resistance it will have. I...

    If you could only own one Mechanical Mod based only on Performance/Specs

    I second the Reo. It is indestructible. I get so much better a vape, that I stopped using my other mods and attys. Srsly, it is better than my KFL AND Ithaca clones, plus, it is a portable drip machine. I bring extra batteries and an extra bottle and I am all set. I don't vape sub ohm. I am...

    New to ECF! Questions about the itaste MVP

    Battery life is based on the number of charge cycles. Since the MVP has such a large battery, it should last more than 6 months. I'm very happy with mine, although these days it mostly gets used as an ohm reader for the builds for my REO.

    My first Reo - a Mini... Please recommend the best compatible RDA :)

    It really is not very expensive, at least in terms of bottom fed attys. I mean the Hornet is around $75. The A7/A7 Mini is only around $20, but it is not super reliable and could cause shorts. The Vision Eternity is probably one of the other common attys, but I am not sure if it fits on the REO...

    What other atomizers are out there like the Kayfun?

    The ithaka is based on the same premise as well. The nice thing about the Ithaka or one of its clones is that you can build dual coils very easily.

    What is the advantage to having long legs on your coil?

    Technically, you do not want longer legs to a coil. It is wasted resistance, since it is not touching the coil and will add heat to the atty. However, with the RM2 and other bottom fed attys for the REO, you want your coil to be very close to where the juice is fed after you squeeze the...

    Not a lot of vapor

    The first and most important thing is that you should never fire an RBA on a device until you have already tested the resistance with a meter. This is especially true when using a mechanical mod, without any safety features built in. You can use a multimeter, a mod that has an ohm meter, or one...

    got a fasttech epipe, what battery?

    Regardless of whether you get the proper extension tubes, you should buy the AW IMR unprotected batteries (the red ones). With the Smoktech ones, you need flattop 18350s to get it working properly in original condition. I have AW and Efest IMR and have never had an issue. The world of hobbyist...

    got a fasttech epipe, what battery?

    I would email nHaler and ask them if the tubes are for the Smoketek epipe. I followed the link you provided and I did not see anything about the nHaler e-pipe being the SmokeTek one. As far as FastTech claiming that it is the original thing, I would be inclined to believe it.

    Which charger for Samsung INR18650-20R batteries

    I also have the Nitecore i4. It charges batteries fine, plus it can handle most batteries suited for vaping 18350-18650, 14500s. Just a warning: do not charge the batteries when you are sleeping or out of the house. Many vapers never have a problem with IMR/hybrid batteries or chargers, but in...

    AGA-T3 is out?

    I realize that businesses need to charge more than they buy an item for. That is how the world works and businesses make money. However, I suspect that there are not many people who are interested in paying more than $30 for a Youde atomizer. With all of the bad word-of-mouth that the MSRP for...

    My first Reo - a Mini... Please recommend the best compatible RDA :)

    I have never used the 14500 size REO, but the above recommendations are pretty much what I was gonna say... I think the BF Hornet would work on the Mini. It seems small enough. It can be tricky to find places that stock BF RDAs. My rule of thumb is that if the website does not specifically...

    How crucial is an AW IMR in the Reo Grand?

    Your Efest/Orbtronic instead of the AW IMRs is most likely not the issue. I was not very pumped about my REO's performance when it first got here either. The most important aspect of using a REO outside of the device itself is the atomizer you are using. You should look into the Reomizer 2.0...

    got a fasttech epipe, what battery?

    If you got the e-pipe I am thinking of, you will need to buy 18350 size batteries, not 18500. With mine, it has to use flat top batteries. You should get unprotected IMR batteries. The Vape Safe fuse will not fit. The 18350 batteries are a tight fit already. I am not sure you could fit a...

    Ohms seems to change for no reason? ?

    With the AGA-T2, it is probably the positive terminal coming loose. If it is not, it could be a short.

    tutorial for coiling a silica wick ?

    Personally, I don't like cotton. What I do to build my Reomizer is wrap a coil around 1.5mm Ekowool with very little space in between wraps. I then push them close together until they are touching. If some won't get right into place, I torch the coil and move the wraps with a screwdriver. So I...

    I love VCV. I order Night Shift and Vanilla Custard in 120ml bottles now.

    Next Step; iTaste VV or Vamo?

    The iTaste VV/Vw is a nice mod. It is also not much bigger than the setup you are currently using. If you do decide to go this route, make sure you get the VV/VW model. The older model only is VV and does not have an ohm reader. From what I have gathered, there is not much difference between...
