    VV/VW Mod Advice

    You are pretty much stuck with the DNA20, unless you buy the chip and put it on another device. Unfortunately, not many of us can do the electronic work involved with installing a new chip on another device.

    18350 battery

    AW IMR 18350s are probably the safest. I use Efests too. The IMR batteries are safer chemistry, meaning they won't totally blow up in a case of extreme failure. If you are really concerned with safety, you can get a vapesafe.

    So confused, help! ordering in a hour or two. MODS and RBA, whats a mesh for?

    I would recommend one of the Kayfun clones from Fasttech. They are not much more difficult to set up than a dripper and have phenomenal flavor/vapor production.

    New Reo owner, questions

    So last night, I took a 1.5mm piece of Ekowool. I carefully wrapped a coil that was very close together alas micro coil. While it was not pretty, it started glowing like a micro when I fired it. I took a few hits off of it as a dripper and it hit pretty well. I tested it out this morning on my...

    New Reo owner, questions

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I will try a micro coil filled with strands of silica! I am not giving up on my Reo by any means. I know that the Reo and the RM2 is a great combo. For whatever reason, it just isnt giving me much of a vape. It is really hot, but not much vapor.

    New Reo owner, questions

    So I bought a Reo Mini 2.1 and an RM2 this weekend. It just came today. My MVP 2 and KFL combo was getting too big to lug around. I figured with the Reo, I could get all of the flavor and vapor of my KFL without the bulk. After my first build on the RM2 (3 mm silica and 32 gauge Kanthal, a 3/4...

    smallest and best mod for newb?

    The Vamo is kind of big. I have heard that the above device has some issues with 510 connections. If you are gonna get a box mod, you should go for the MVP 2. It has a smaller cousin, the iTaste Vv/VW 3, which has all of the same features. Both are available on Fasttech.

    Seems to good to be true....(Lightning Vapes Kanthal)

    I like lightning vapes myself. One time I ordered some ekowool and silica from him. Somehow, it was redirected at the post office and went to Honolulu. I messaged him on eBay and he just sent out a new order. As of now, I have a ton of wicking stuff, but he has made a very satisfied customer...

    Best 18650 batteries?

    Basically Efest, AW, or Panasonic Hybrids are good batteries to start off with. The VTR is a regulated mod, so it has protection in it. It will only work with unprotected batteries. It is kind of scary, the whole unprotected thing, which is why vaping has switched to the above mentioned batteries.

    Length of wire for R-NR-R builds?

    Do you have a multimeter? After you tie one end end NR wire to your Kanthal, you can put one end of the multimeter where the two are joined. Put the other part of the multimeter to the other end of the Kanthal. Cut the Kanthal wire to where you want the resistance.

    Some of us have to reach a bottom in order to get to the top

    I came to e cigs after I had a stroke. I was only 24. It was a big wake up call for me.

    Need some suggestions on new gear!!

    I agree with the above posters. CE# clearos in general suck majorly. They may be good through the first few fills, but then they crap out. You can definitely get a great vape with just a better clearo or a carto tank. I don't use any of these guys anymore since I started with RBAs, but your...

    So when trying to decide on a new juice flavors, do you just read others and it's luck of the draw?

    With tobacco flavors, they are not all created equal. If you really want a good tobacco flavor, check out vendors that sell NETs (naturally extracted tobacco). These vendors actually use tobacco to make their tobacco flavors (wow, new concept, eh?). My favorite right now is Electronic Cigarettes...

    Sleeping issues and drowsiness?

    It sounds kinda like sleep apnea... Do you snore? It may be something to chat with a doctor about.

    IGO-L problems. And can someone school me on RBA? Ready to learn!

    Did you wash out your igo-l before you used it? With all RBAs, you need to give it a good rinsing or more before use. As for the taste, i suspect it is a matter of using the pre-built coil that is your problem. I build just normal coils and I get awesome flavor.

    to Ithaka or not to Ithaka.....that is the question

    As for the OP, the vape from the Ithaka clones I have are very similar to the KFL. The whole NR/R wire thing really is not a big deal after a few builds. You should definitely check out one of the clones. They are nice.

    to Ithaka or not to Ithaka.....that is the question

    You can buy some from Stormys Vapor Cellar. I also have bought some from Mad Vapes. I know SVC has them all the time, but I'm not sure if Mad Vapes still has them.

    Troubleshooting my first genny build

    I have just recently started being able to get SS mesh to work right. I know this is not scientific or anything, but I've been able to kind of gauge whether my genesis builds are ready to be filled up with juice when the SS mesh does not smell like burning nastiness when I fire the device.

    Need suggestions.

    I love my KFL. You can definitely put your micro coil skills to use in that too. The Ithaka/Odysseus or their clones would also be a good suggestion. Besides tasting like you are dripping the tank, you can actually run the tank dry. They are different than say a pro tank where you have to refill...

    RBA with a big tank?

    The Nautilus and the Terminator C mentioned above are the same thing. I don't know what got them different names.
