    The 20W cannot reduce it's voltage so with a fully charged battery at 4.2v, the lowest wattage you can get with a 1.8 ohm coil is 9.8watts. If you prefer your vape at lower wattage you're SOL at least until your battery voltage drops. You can get around it using a higher ohm coil.

    I'm beginning to wonder if the battery gauge does not start to go down until the voltage begins to go below the "nominal" voltage of 3.7v. I say that because I've been using my new 30w since Friday evening and the gauge is still showing just above1/2 full. Normally the 2200 mah 18650 batteries I...

    DIY Ejuice problems ?

    I'm betting it's your wick. Too much and it swells bigger than the outside diameter of the coil where it enters the coil which chokes the flow of juice. Too little and you can have part of the coil with no contact with wick and juice. Loss of cooling from the juice makes for a too hot coil...

    Want to make 100 percent VG liquid but thin it out

    Yep, distilled water. Helps with the dryness some recipes can have as well, I've been using 10% of the total volume of VG with good results, even with about 15% flavoring pg in the mix which also helps to thin the vg.

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    Is that juice spatter on the mirror from test firing, or did your alpaca sneeze? :laugh:

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    I'm 2 weeks into this on the lowly Evod. 30g contact microcoils 7 wraps at 1.7 ohms 90vg juice. Vapor is the same to slightly better than cotton and the flavor, well like Jeremy said, it's almost like drinking your juice. I think any limitation on small coils would be limited to watts. Too...

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    Since CC requires double what you would use for cotton, just pretend you're doing a cotton wick and you should be fine. :tongue:

    Rayon wick, better flow, flavor, saturation and Nic Hit!

    Coming out of "lurk mode" :) Picked up a box last night. I run mostly Evods with 1.8 ohm microcoils and cotton at 8 watts. I'll be wicking one up shortly and based on what I've read so far have been leaning toward what you just posted, denser for lower wattage and slightly less dense for higher...

    FDA So where is the outcry from the vendors?

    Ok.....it was me :tongue: I ordered 1500 ml of 100 mg/ml on 5/2. What's funny is it's been hit or miss for them to even have that in stock let alone a week after the FDA drops the bomb. Guess this "unprepper" got lucky;)

    FDA The Predicate Product of 2006 for FDA: Meet the Ruyan V8 , Early Innovator and Marketer of E-Ciig Vaping

    {MODERATED} did their homework. It's obvious the Feb 2007 date was not just pulled out of a hat.

    FDA Support Thread For FDA Worries

    About 13.5 liters of 100 mg/ml gets you 10 ml/day for 20 years at 18 mg/ml. Plus a case of mason jars for the freezer :D

    FDA Common misconceptions about FDA regulations ( I hope CASAA will address at some point in the next few weeks)

    The FDA has morphed into a government sponsored MAFIA that runs a protection racket for the large corporations of this country including Big Food (Monsanto, Cargil, etc) Big Pharma and Big Tobacco to name only a few. And who is at the helm of FDA's tobacco gestapo? None other than Mitch Zeller...

    Advice for DIY Noob

    Forget the pipettes. I have a bag full I don't use. Instead get a few 1ml, 3ml, 10ml and 30 ml syringes. Measuring will be much simpler and accurate. I pop the plunger out of the 30 ml and pour the vg in (too thick to suck through a needle), pop the plunger back in and push it into the bottle...

    How do I wrap the 2.5 ohm coils that I'm used to? And other newbness...

    I believe the Vamo won't go below 1.2 ohms Some cotton has sizing in it to help hold the fibers together. Boiling it releases the sizing and it floats to the surface. Running the pot with the water still in it under the faucet washes it out. Some people will run their cotton through 2 or 3 boil...

    Little coil help please

    Interesting that the wick is discolored on one side only. Possible hot spot on the coil at that end?

    Problem with eGo batteries

    If it started right after a rebuild, check to see if you didn't trim the positive wire close enough. It doesn't take much sticking out to cause a short and they can be hard to see.

    Frustrated - Protank mini - Cotton - bad/no taste - :( -Help!

    Did you pulse fire the coil before wicking to make sure there were no hot spots? Hot spots on the coil can make for a crappy tasting vape.
