    Where do you keep your ecig when on the go?

    I thought about this for my backups x 12 and a tactical quick draw holster for a VTR. :ohmy: But common sense prevailed, and I hold my mech in my hand. Can't drip if it's put away, although, ten different 30 mil glass bottles of juice for dripping and extra wire/wick/tools in the last two...

    Sony 30A 2100mah 18650 vs. Panasonic 10A 2900mah 18650

    Gotta chime in here. I have both the NCR18650PD (previous generation to the PF) and the Sony VTC4. Two of each. at .55 ohm dual coil dripper on a mech, I find that the vape becomes less than satisfying at 3.8 to 3.9 volts off the Panasonics. I generally drop the Sonys back on the charger and...

    Use a different AC cable with the Nitecore Intellicharger i2?

    Check the pin out on the adapters. It should look like a Capital C with a dot inside, lines coming off to the left and right, one from the 'C' and one from the dot. They'll be labeled + or - ; They need to match, so if one is center positive, the other needs to be center positive as well...

    What was your progression like?

    Quit June 29th 2013. Did my research within a week had an iTaste VV v3 and eVic or three with an array of cheap cartos, an iClear16, and some CE2 Cartos. Bought a tank to put em in. By July I had a KTS with an EHPro EA coop buy on the way, an AGI and IGO, the iTaste VVv3 died a noble death by...

    Brief Battery Question re. Mechanical Mod

    No love for the Sony VCT4? 2100 mah with 30 amp discharge, stays above 3.6 volts for longer than my mech predecessor Panasonic PD 2900 mah 10 amp battery does. Got mine for 7 bucks each at illumination supply on sale, seen em for 10 various vape vendors.

    Finally... an RBA I enjoy!

    I'm with you on the cotton in a Kayfun. And you may want to try out a vertical dragon microcoil oriented over the airhole. I use 28g at 1.2 ohms, measured out at 2.5 inches of kanthal. Heat/torch coil and compress, then wrap with thin cotton ball pulled into a transparent sheet. Install over...

    was going to order the patriot...... wound up with AGI instead.....

    Oh man, what a thread. The AGI was my first rebuildable ever, before I discovered the AGA T2. I'd been saddened by the anemic performance once I tried wrapping it lower ohm and put it on my mech, then I found the spring issue. Totally makes it worth it! I replaced the oem post with a copper...

    Mayday, Mayday! I'm going through four wicks a day in my Russian, need some helpful advice =]

    Heyas! I Love me a cotton Kayfun clone myself. I don't have a perfect answer, but, like genetic mutant, i think rewicking with as little cotton as you can combined with opening up the airflow controller to maximum will help keep your coil cool. Gently caress the coil with some cotton love...

    Money, Mods, ProVari, and More Money

    I heard that some enterprising folks, in the days now gone by when people were doing things like modifying flashlights into eVics and removing the nickel foam bridges from standard atomizers, would carefully dissect a cloth tea bag (the kind that keeps tea from floating all over the water and...

    Comparable to Kayfun style, but smaller?

    Any clones of the Kayfun 2.1 other than the Dream BT804? Mine is an 18 mm device and about 45mm long without driptip. Same easy build and great taste of the KF KFL in a smaller cheaper form factor. Just don't lose the pin. Dream BT804 Rebuildable Tank (SS) Dream Rebuildable atomizer with...

    Do you vape cinnamon flavors? Read this!

    Cinnamon essential oil is known irritant. I've stopped using it in room freshener mixes and in any of my massage oil mixes. I know first hand that some people react to it. Ymmv. I like the flavor and the smell, it's one of the things I include in my personal clove/orange/cinnamon body...

    The Fogger v2: My setup PICTORIAL √

    I just got mine from donnah. She gave me a great microcoil already in it. After I dumped the first half tank out the air holes, I put an extra oring under the chimney, rewicked with more cotton, and it's performing awesome. I do have to agree that it's really tight to get the glass on and...

    How many mods/atties do you have and use?

    EHPro EA with a Rainbow Heaven Hercules. Use it all the time. 3 dedicated batteries in rotation. I think I'll die with this setup in my hand. All the the other attys spend time on the eVic Kir Fanis Tele and rotate around depending on what I want as my backup. Got a Dream BT804SS the KF2.1...

    Vinegar?

    I have 120ml 80/20 pg/vg 36mg juice from azure vaping, caramel tobacco. It's been steeping for about 45 days, been using it in small amounts to toss into other juices. Dark orange color, and very strong caramel/perfumey/astringent notes. Pulled off 30ml and added red wine vinegar starting...

    X8 Carto Tank ala Fasttech

    I have one that was the basis for my Smoktech Terminator TT carto tank. Got an XL replacement glass tube from IBTanked and it works magnificently for any of the submersible RBAs and CE2 cartos I've tried; Smoktech TT, RH Killer 705 clone, Diver, now housing a real Killer from the classifieds...

    Convert Vivi Nova Tank

    Haven't seen or heard of any. Doesn't mean they don't exist. On the other hand, they DO fit the Dream BT804 and BT804 SS extended tanks from Beautiful, the Kayfun 2 clone that has a polycarbonate threaded midsection. I replaced mine with a vivi nova metal tank after it cracked from cinnamon...

    Theoretical Vacuum Vaping

    same boiling I think - lower threshold for energy input to become a phase change instead of temperature change... was thinking siphon coffee brewing, but that's liquids... hmmm

    Watts do not matter. Its all about wire temp. Read on…

    I'm seeing a lot of similarities between what we're looking for in the "perfect vape" and modern internal combustion engines. Electronic Fuel (Fluid) Injection, airflow control, thermal regulation, massive closed loop feedback sensor suites, an embedded microcontroller. Did a quick googlefu...

    Built a UCC283T-ADJ LDO regulator Snus Tin Mod

    It may yet find use as an Alaskan or Northern Canadian as the "New Dual Use Arctic Blast, the Hand Warmer AND Pocket Vaporizer!"

    Heat Treatment/Torching to Color Stainless Steel and Titanium

    I think that treating titanium with nitric acid acid bath will etch and leave a gold tone. I know thats how my lady's titanium gold bicycle chain was done... For aluminum body mods, google colored home aluminum anodizing. There are kits for a hundred bucks that can do bicycle and car parts...
