    SVD firing at .9 ohms?

    congrats on the coil build - the svd is a regulated device so you should not have issues common to sub ohm coils in mechanical devices - I would build the coils to a higher ohm and use the svd in wattage mode to make the battery last longer between charges (low ohm coils draw more amps which in...

    Nic base question

    I prefer PG based nic because it easier to work with and it stays mixed up better. VG based nic may "ribbon" - which means basically that the concentrated nic will separate and concentrate in ribbons of really, really high nic concentrations (nic suppliers start with pure "100%"nic and mix it...

    advice to give parents

    any ego with a mini protank and 1.8 heads will work fine The big thing is to explain to them that vaping is NOT smoking and for them not to expect it to taste and feel EXACTLY like smoking because it is not - try not to get them started on tobacco flavors cause none of them taste just exactly...

    Please help!

    any IMR battery - AW, efest, orbtronic, Panasonic, Sony NOT any battery with "fire" in the name you are not going to be pulling the amps the new sony requires but it will definitely work for you (I got my Sony Vtc4 18650 batteries off Amazon for a reasonable price)

    What Do I Need to Get Started?

    I personally recommend this set up to all people looking to upgrade as it has all the features of much more expensive mods at a reasonable price vv and vw (variable wattage is great for beginners and advanced vapors alike), 800mah battery that can also be used as pass through, nothing extra...

    Evod tank help

    you could be getting dry, burnt hits if you are chain vaping faster than it can wick eliquid (removing 1 or both of the flavor wicks may remedy this) or (and this is common with kanger and kanger clone more often now) the coil has an issue with a hot leg (the little straight leg of wire coming...

    Newby just getting started.

    Welcome Lowtech - welcome to ECF and the wonderful world of vaping I was a 1.5 PAD (pack a day) smoker for over 36 years when I decided to buy a cigalike (the little auto stick batteries that look like a cigarette) kit instead of a carton of cigs for the week (it was about 1/2 the cost of a...

    igo-w coil/wick build for flavour?

    30 ga Kanthal is the most popular and the number of wraps needed to get to 2 to 2.6 ohms on each coil when checked on a multimeter (you do have a multimeter right?) Dual coil builds need to be built at twice the ohms of single coil and need to be built as close to identical as possible (two...

    New guy from Florida

    Welcome to the ECF!! Congrats on quitting the stinkies. The gurgling is most commonly caused by inhaling too hard and flooding the atomizer head. Slow down and be gentle with your inhale and issue should resolve itself (you will hear a spitting/hissing noise while firing - this is normal)...

    Issue with batteries or svd?

    first question - does the aero tank work on your other battery? (assuming you still have the ego battery) what happens when you put the battery in with out the tank on the SVD? What happens if you try a different tank/clearo/carto on it. Did you get any extra heads with the aerotank? try a...

    Discussion of Vaping During an Interview

    HAHAHA - I had a bartender set me up with an interview to manage a theater with the theater GM one night around midnight - the interviewer was totally blasted and the interviewee (me) was not far behind. I started the next morning and had to remind him that he had hired me.
