    Can you use isopropyl alcohol for cleaning tanks?

    hot tap water to clean everything - if unusually nasty (forgotten clearos with dark eliquids) then 16 minutes in the ultrasonic with hot tap water does all the cleaning needed

    Vamo v2 + aspire nautilus tank?

    the batteries I suggest (in order of preference) AW Sony Panasonic Efest Orbtronic the batteries to AVOID at all costs anything with "fire" in the name The batteries are the most important part of vaping - cheaper is NOT better and only buy from trusted vendors (yes, China is now blatantly...

    Wow! What have I been missing

    congrats Just make sure you don't use "unicorn milk" eliquid as it is poison because it has titanium dioxide (very, very bad to vape) to give it that milky look I posted this just as warning to new vapors that may not know better REMEMBER - you need to be able to see through your eliquid...

    mechanicel mod - nemesis clone

    yep, if you like a nice regulated vape at a constant wattage or voltage then mechs are NOT the way to go now if you do not care about flavor and just want to blow giant high wattage clouds then a mech with a subohm coil is the way to go, just make sure you have the battery safety knowledge and...

    TPA/TFA e-juice mixology

    different flavors require different percentages most flavor totals can run between 10 to 20 percent (really complex blends may go as high 30%) coffees, chocolates and some fruits need to stay 5% or less (most coffees for my liking are at 1-3%) smell test that will let you know how strong of...

    One more quick question about carto tanks

    Most carto's are going to be able to handle up to 12 watts as long as you are not frantically chain vaping. Please give it a chance to keep wicking from the tank (as stated by deleon517 a few primer (no power) puffs won't hurt it at all) High VG eliquids wick much slower so you will need to...

    New member with cotton wicks

    easiest way to upload pics of questions (or nonsense like armored guinea pigs) 1. go to TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting 2. select your jpg file and correct size (not too small or we can't see it), then select upload (may have to watch an ad and then enter a code...

    And yet another...this time hardware??

    most all - some of the larger tanks include a trim ring that transitions it down to the battery smoothly

    first mech mod options

    either one of those will work ok but my personal favorite is the nzonic clone which, unfortunately, fasttech does not have yet. The nzonic will allow an 18650 AND a kick2 if you want to have a regulated device also EHPro Nzonic V3 Clone

    Noob 101 - Question #1 (Cleaning)

    My coils last approx 22-25ml of eliquid (I don't use days anymore as some people vape 1ml per day and some vape 15-20ml per day) as far as cleaning goes I wipe out the 510/ego connection (inside and outside) on the battery EVERY time I take the clearo off to fill it. I rinse out the clearo...

    Bad ejuice? Burning every coil I have!

    is the Raspberry Lemonade an "inhouse/homemade" eliquid that the shop makes themselves? Raspberry is a tough flavor to get to taste right in vapor.

    liquid burning in evod

    eliquid darkening in the tank is normal caramelizing of the sweeteners used in eliquid - this is caused from the metal around the head heating up the eliquid If you could give us a link to the eliquid you are using we can also try to diagnose that. PG = Propylene Glycol VG= Vegetable Glycerin...

    Metallic Taste on Various Kanthal Vendors

    I always pretorch my wire to remove any possible machining oil residue which will cause a taste. Also causing taste on builds is anything I handled prior to building coils as this deposits that flavor on the wire for the first few heatings ie: soap, hand lotion, cheetos etc. So now I just wash...

    Coil Wire

    stainless steel mesh is used as a wicking materiel to carry the eliquid to the resistance wire coil - this is the first I have heard of anyone using stainless wire for a coil and I am unsure why you want to use SS wire - you do want to confirm it is 100% stainless steel and is not galvanized...

    hello mvp/evic user

    Welcome to the ECF and congrats I had never heard of "peltier device USB chargers" so of course, I googled it and found the "power pot". So cool, everyone who camps should get one (along with everyone on the east coast "hurricane zones" or up north in the "blizzard" zones, or in the midwest...
