    RDA, but i cant get flavor when is hot.

    I just got back into dripping… and want to build again… i used to build aliens, staggertons etc… Staggertons were kinda my “height” in skill. They were hard I felt. I have alotta spools of wire.. ribbon too. The last I built was in like 2016… so wire is hard to get now?.. covid and everything?

    Dripper Recommendations

    I am looking for dripper recommendations. The last thread was 2018. Do people even drip still?.. I settled on Velocity RDas… anyone have any advice on anything built since? I switched to salt nics but hate them. Back to juices and drippers. Thanks!!

    Anyone Rebuild a V2 EX Blank Clearo?

    As an out-of-the-house device, I reordered a v2 product. Since I had been rebuidling / building my own coils, I wondered about these. I suppose I could figure it out... but am trying to avoid reinventing the wheel (since I am spending more time doing other things), and wonder if anyone...

    Fused Clapton... 3 Teeny Tiny Clapton wire Hotspots OK?

    took long enough!!!... yes, i had done all you listed... i did rewick the thing, and prior, dryfired to dryout water... i tried to jiggle it more, but, nothing. I just chucked it and built some other coils in its place. All good though. thanks for reply brother : )

    How To Clapton 3 cores and Keep em Flat?

    I tried a fused-clap variation today (in the attempt to lead up to the beloved alien). I decided to try and clapton 3 cores, as opposed to the 2 on a standard fused. Let me tell ya'.. not easy at all to keep the 3 cores flat, and prevent them from collapsing into a triangular-shapd core...

    Clapton coil build question.

    you are right about venturing off... man o man. Currently though, I am having trouble claptoning 3 cores. Keeping them flat, and preventing them from collapsing into a triangle proved to be less than simple. This was my first try though (3-26Ni80 X 40gNi80)... all in preparation for the...

    Clapton coil build question.

    you guys are missing the boat on all this. First off, rip trippers is a pansy... "im gonna clapton a guitar string first, then de-core it, cuz the kanthal core is to hard to clapton (at the speed of an invalid I might add), so this makes it easier..." well, he could spend less time scamming...

    Fused Clapton... 3 Teeny Tiny Clapton wire Hotspots OK?

    I just finished installing a fused-clapton coil. The wire is a 26-gauge NiCr80 core claptoned with 36-gauge NiCr80. After installing and dry-firing, its heating perfectly from the inside-out, but there are 3 teeny-tiny hotspots... basically, there are 3 separate clapton wraps that are...

    Danger of Nickel Wire (Ni200 for Temp. Control)

    i could care less about researching crap... I just no longer desire to "play" temp control... last time I checked, I was allowed to implement that decision without congressional approval... or maybe, Ive gone ROGUE!!

    Vapetrik?.. its a "Trick" Alright

    actually, I imagine you can. I would not know, as my highest power mod is an iStick 50W, though Ive never taken it higher than 35W... though I cant remember when or what I was using. However, my reply was based on my assumption, that that previous person's statement was insinuating that "us"...

    (oddly, despite having "email me when comments to thread are made" checked-off, I have not been notified of further responses to this thread????) @vapolator 200W?? yeah... ummmmmmmmmmmmmm... not to discount your "theory" or anything, but... whether I used my Kanger Subtank mini, or my...

    Danger of Nickel Wire (Ni200 for Temp. Control)

    considering what this thread has turned into, I am nowhere near being closer to tryin temp. control. The absolute only reason I wanted temp control, was to completely avoid the possibility of dry hitting... which is definitely NOT good for the body. But, as Ive gained more experience with my...

    Danger of Nickel Wire (Ni200 for Temp. Control)

    ya' know, some of you guys make me laugh a bit... its like this... I watched this video, than immediately think, "hmm... I consider myself part of a community... a community of vapers... as a member, and not an all around, self-centered, ......, maybe I will see if I might be able to help...

    Danger of Nickel Wire (Ni200 for Temp. Control)

    Honestly... it aint worth the chance if you ask me. Now, had I already bought a temp control, I'd definitely assume this guys an idiot.
