    How to Get the Best Flavor From MTL RTA?

    I wind my 28ga coils tightly on a rod with coil turns touching, then I stretch and re-compress the coils while they are still on the mandrel rod. When you do that you are left with a tiny gap between the coils. I like to think that the tiny space between the coils exposes the juice to more...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I suppose that somewhere in the future there will be a levitation package. We'll be in the Jetsons age.

    Tight Wicking

    I haven't used cotton in several years. It's been Rayon for me. I still have a couple of sealed packs of Kho Gen Do pads in my vape cabinet.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Ordered 4 or those from www.18650batterystore.com the other day. They came in and are performing well. They are 2600 mah cells, so vape time is a little less than higher mah cells, but they hit nice and hard. It's also a 35A cell (Mooch rated at 25A) ... still pretty strong for most any...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I can stand a cup in the late afternoon, but not after 3 or 4 pm. Definitely not after supper. Nicotine doesn't bother me, though. I vape right up until lights out.

    Are you done stocking up?

    My wife's car gets the garage. My 2017 Ram Longhorn has to stay in the driveway. :) We have stairs in one corner of the garage and only a small car can fit on that side. The up side of that is that I get to trade frequently before the paint starts to fade! You have to do that or the trade in...

    Tight Wicking

    Agree. Winding your own coils is a learned process. It doesn't take long to get it right and after that the learning process is worth the time spent experimenting, IMO. You save lots of money and once you learn what works you get even better flavor and vapor because it's tuned to your own...

    Tight Wicking

    There's a sweet spot with wicking. With cotton the wick expands when you juice it. Rayon shrinks a little when you juice it. Rayon is frequently labelled as "cellucotton" or "cellucotton rayon". With rayon I usually make the wick thick enough where I have to twist it a little as I pull it...

    metallic coil taste and what I've discovered.

    grapefez, I tried that years ago with Kanger heads and had the same problem. As others said, those wires are 3 piece spot welded wire with the resistance section in the center. Instead of having screw down installation they just insert the ends of the wires between the grommets and the metal...

    new to vaping.

    If the OP is cleaning and reusing coils heads it's time to look into rebuildable atomizers, IMO. Rebuilding an atomizer designed for that is much easier than dealing with cleaning factory coil heads. Changing a wick and coil is a breeze once you've done a couple.

    Anyone on ECF recovered from Covid19?

    We should be in good shape about March 2021 (if we all stay sheltered in place till then). :):danger:

    Anyone on ECF recovered from Covid19?

    I think it's more like ... Those that die from Covid-19 ______________________________ = death rate among those infected Those that don't die from Covid-19

    PMTAs - who is doing what?

    Ban alcoholic drinks in bars nationwide, roll that little tidbit into the vape bill, and both houses will shy away from it like it's possessed.

    PMTAs - who is doing what?

    Looks like vendor mixed fruit, candy, and bakery flavors are really going to be gone once the FDA steps in and controls what is on the market. That's not an issue for me, but lots of adult vapers enjoy flavors. DIY will become necessary for them.

    High amp vs high voltage?

    Sure, mass slows heat rise, but voltage applied to a given resistance is at least similar among coils of differing wire gauges and types, assuming that the power supply can deliver amperage needed to the coil. Few of us take coil winding as seriously as you do. If it's not delivering the...

    High amp vs high voltage?

    FWIW, this chart covers vaping voltage and resistance and shades the chart into optimum (and not so optimum) vaping conditions. It's been around for many years. I suppose it was created for mech users in the earlier years of vaping...

    A screeching sound from a CDC pack meant that you would spend the day there replacing heads and aligning the drive, (usually meant tossing the pack).

    There were still cards being used at a couple of accounts I had in the 70's during my early days at Xerox, but those disappeared soon after. 10" Reel tapes took over and continued to be used most of my career in data centers.
