    day 2 vaping and struggling

    well for the routine part you may just need to turn your battery off, take your clearo off the battery when you get finished vaping. That way you need to go through the routine of screwing the clearo back on and then 5 clicking the battery (if its an ego style battery) to turn it back on -...

    Perplexed

    Well JC everyone is different in their nic needs - you and your wife need to realize that nic is absorbed slower when vaping so you do not get the quick nic rush as you do with cigarettes You may want to change her nic level to a higher mg You may want to get her a more efficient delivery...

    Volt Itaste MVP 2 Confusion

    Need Info on Next Steps

    what asht says above with one exception #5 - genesis style tanks (RSST, aga-t are both beginner level genesis style rba's) are in my opinion a pain to build and keep working. I started rebuilding my protank coils - got an AGA-T - tried mesh, tried cable, gave up and now use it as an autodripper...

    Problems trying to start with rebuildables and micro coils

    your steps are very accurate and correct as I would do the same thing possible problem #1 - trying to stuff too much cotton through coil and through wick hole - too much will hinder wicking and cause dry burnt vapes possible issue #2 - you are vaping at about 17.64 watts with a 1 ohm coil at...

    Measuring resistance(multimeter)

    when checking ohms it normally does not matter but check on the base (510) threads and positive post of your rba, not where you actually attach the coil Make sure you check the resistance of you meter leads and either zero the meter (if possible) or just remember the # and subtract it from your...

    newbie need some input on a high end mod.

    the Congestus Colossal With The Congestus | VapeRev not copper, not silver, but you can stack 26650s (not personally recommended) if you really want to have a workout while vaping (warning - please alternate which hand you vape with so that you do not have a freakishly large arm on 1 side)

    Clueless!

    I searched your area for vape shops and it looks like your local shop is Razor Vapes? After looking at their website it appears they are only interested blowing huge clouds of vapor to impress themselves and other advanced vapors and selling advanced mods. Unfortunately customer service does...

    Flooded Clearomizer??

    Yes that gurgling/hissing/spitting/boiling noise is normal. It is the eliquid being vaporized on the coil (by the way the coil is the resistance - there are no additional resistors in there) If you are pulling liquid up onto your lip then you may be drawing too hard. You do not need to draw hard...

    I'm confused

    make sure each coil is exactly the same ohms (1 ohm in this case) otherwise it won't fire correctly if you feel the battery tube or the button on your mech getting hot at all - stop right away be careful, please

    I'm confused

    not that battery - you need a 30amp rated battery - you need to stay above 1.4 ohms on a single coil until you completely understand ohms law and battery safety And for a better understanding of batteries and their safe use we have Baditudes Battery Blog part 1 Baditudes Battery Blog part 2

    What is the best tank for Ego 510 thread

    The top coil ce clearos need to be "twirled" to keep the wicks soaked best option is going to be the mini protank 2- bottom coil, glass tank, can be completely disassembled for cleaning I cannot guarantee no dry hits or no metallic taste (you can get dry hits on anything if you chain vape fast...

    Halo G6 e-cig for a light smoker ?

    This should work fine for her as long as she is aware of a few things She needs to know that vaping is NOT identical to smoking and that the eliquid will NOT taste exactly like a cigarette. This is sometimes the biggest obstacle to overcome with people that are being "persuaded" to try vaping...
