    Nickel Foam?!?

    Yeah....just the wire from the positive & negative screws going to the wick (they seem to alternate). Thats why I was trying to pulse it like a non-oxidized stainless wick to build up a layer under the coils. I might have to try the cheesecloth method next - I've had luck with that on stainless...

    Nickel Foam?!?

    Ok ..First shot with this stuff in an RSST. First observations - you need VERY little for a 1/8 inch wick (about 15mm wide or less - the piece in the photo I originally cut was enough for three 1/8 wicks - I destroyed two while experimenting with it). Its easy to roll it tight, but try not to...

    My Boba's clone

    It should still work. TA is so strong, I don't think it matters what its diluted with. If you know what the percentage of the dilution is, it would help, but I always try to err on the side of using too little than too much. Good luck

    My Boba's clone

    I used PA flavorings for the Coconut, Graham Cracker, and Marshmallow...I think they are alcohol-based...if not, there's wouldn't be that much PG (or other carrier) in them to worry about. I figure that AV's flavorings are alcohol-based as well - I think its still considered 100% VG because...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    An Oddy (or clone) or an Ithaka (or clone) are exactly the same diameter as the 8W or #19 (or most of the other Sigeleis or EH Pros for that matter). You can use them as a Dripper if you close the juice control fully, or open up the mouthpiece a turn or two & they will feed juice from the tank...

    My Boba's clone

    I think its the same stuff, but its cheaper directly from PA (this is the stuff I use): Perfumers Apprentice - Tobacco Absolute (1. Pure) Since you use so little of it, the small 4ml bottle will last you for YEARS! Have fun

    My Boba's clone

    You must have gotten a fresh batch. You have to let it steep.... all AV juices take time to develop their characteristic flavors. Just take the tops off and put them in a dark place (not the refrigerator) for a day or two, re-cap, and then shake them thoroughly every few days to help speed up...

    My Boba's clone

    Its Pure Tobacco Absolute diluted down with VG (or PG if you wish). I use 2 drops for 10ml ...its very potent stuff...you need VERY little. I also sometimes add a drop or two of Marshmallow to sweeten it (it's basically strong EM) Perfumers Apprentice - Tobacco Absolute (1. Pure)

    My Boba's clone

    Just a quick summation: I'm still juggling percentages of each, but here's the original #7: Boba's Clone #7: Black and Mile Plus 40.0% Cinnamon Danish Swirl 20.0% Almond oil 20.0% Coconut 7.1% Graham Cracker 7.1% Vinegar 5.8% (Remember - these percentages are to make a solution that you will...

    Pipe tobacco and Cigar extraction

    A nice addition to tobacco extracts is a few drops of PA "Smooth" flavor...it takes the bitterness and "raw edge" out of most of my extractions if needed. Just a drop or two per 10 ml of juice makes a big difference, and doesn't effect the base flavor at all. Perfumers Apprentice - Smooth...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    That definitely looks like the Rainbow Heaven version. The Tobeco & FastTech versions are highly polished (like the original GG Ithaka) & the corners are more rounded...the clear section of the tanks on those also don't fit quite as flush as the RH version's do. Its brushed like the RH version...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    If you have a large craft store in your area (such as Hobby Lobby), go to the jewelery making section -they have tons of different pliers/cutters/clamps/hemostats/etc that are perfect for butchering MODS & Attys... I'm amazed at how many different types of pliers there are....

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    I use a hard felt wheel with white rouge followed with another wheel using jeweler's rouge at LOW speed (important). The brass comes out like glass: The key is using a HARD felt wheel and relatively low speed...I use one mounted on a bench grinder, but the little hard-felt bobs that come...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    There's also a Co-op for the Rainbow Heaven Hercules (Ithaka clone) on Facebook Land of Vape Co-ops: $26.50 -$35.14 delivered. Yep...had to pull the trigger. While the FastTech clone is pretty decent, and I'm loving it, I've always had a soft spot for RH's stuff ....too good to pass up...

    My Boba's clone

    Try the PA Tobacco Absolute (in a 1-2 drops per 10ml dilution). Replace the B&M, Raisin, almond, cinnamon additions ...the TA gives you all these subtle notes (including the sweet honey flavor if you add a small amount of EM)...I'm not kidding. Just my opinion, but the TA is the primary...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    It's a brand new item. It looks like they are cloning the Kicklet. They don't seem to have them yet, but Vaportek seems to get the Sigelei stuff before everyone else in the US does. The Kicklet is a very nice piece, and very well made, but it costs more than a Sigelei-K & one of their...

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    Same here. I need one to use as a test-bed for a new switch setup I'm thinking about, but don't want to destroy the one I have. It's working very well, other than it has a habit of running my batteries down if I leave them in it - seems to have an electrical "leak"....either that or it's my...

    Hercules Rebuildable Atomizer (Ithaka Clone)

    I've been lurking on this thread for a while, and just got my FastTech Ithaka clone yesterday, so I thought I'd throw in my 2 Centavos: First take: I doubt that this is the Tobeco clone, unless Tobeco has stepped up their game a bit..but I doubt its the Rainbow Heaven Ithaka clone, unless RH...

    Sigelei #19 Tips, tricks, and DON'Ts

    Vaportek is supposed to have Sigelei spares in the future, but Celticvapes has them now if you don't mind ordering from across the pond..... sigelei spares

    Sigelei Mechnical Mods

    You probably got mine - they sent me a 19b when I ordered a 19e/Nzonic. I sent it back & just put the funds toward the Brass Bagua clone... I love VaporTek, but they are growing so fast that they are experiencing some growing pains at the moment...
