    Danger of Nickel Wire (Ni200 for Temp. Control)

    Just watched this interesting video. Was just about to start watchin reviews on Temp. Control mods... for my next purchase. Now?.. NOT my next purchase. Maybe he's wrong... I'll allow the Metallurgy experts to chime in. Either way, not worth the risk too me. Wanted to spread the word.

    Vapetrik?.. its a "Trick" Alright

    @Katdarling wow!!. you just made my day : ) Seriously!.. its funny though, I always kinda hated English class. :D @GrandSam boy, I havent noticed this phenomena prior to Vape-trick. Thats definitely an unsettling notion to think that this is where its going. On the other hand, I dont see...

    did you hand twist that 28?.. looks looser than when I twist with a drill. I wonder if looser twists have better taste.

    yeah... i want the option for single coil as well. I finished cleaning mine today, and did my first build. I did a dual-5 wrap parallel with 28 gauge kanthal... came out to .4 ohms. The think I wasnt sure about was the fact that , it has vert. slots for leads... and with a set of parallel...

    Vapetrik?.. its a "Trick" Alright

    heh, heh... much obliged... (as I "tip" my stetson) for real though. Have you tried Vapetrik man?.. or looked at all the reviews on the associated websites?.. I mean, how did they not think that someone with at least half a braincell running in sleep-mode was going to put 2 n' 2 together...

    Vapetrik?.. its a "Trick" Alright

    ** All interested parties that will read this thread, need to check the other "Vapetrik" threads as well ** Despite the older closed threads, I ABSOLUTELY MUST post a new thread for expressing my concerns with Rip(off) Trippers juice line. All things expressed in other threads about his juice...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    whoa!! thats a good idea, helped juice flow, yeah? Anyways... the subtank is most definitely for me. Today, until I figure out how to fix this completely, after refill, I just took the wattage down, and took small hits until the resistance value on my regmod was showin the right value (which...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    one thing thats crazy to me is the whole deal with my particular "dry hit" issue. Most of the time, said vaper creates a thread that states, " My (tank model) is Dry Hitting." Of which people leave standard comments about how to go about avoiding dry hits. However, my issue is very different...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    @GeorgeS: You may have not done it wrong... not sure, but all I know is that, no matter what kind of wicking I do, I absolutely avoid allowing my tanks from veering much away from sitting straight up. Even when I take hits, I only angle it maybe 30-deg. from vertical... Its kinda crazy that in...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    actually I get everything sorted... I tried Hdivr technique (using a minimal amount of wicking.. and that led to a dramatic drop in taste... didnt work for me at all, though I fully appreciate your advice mate : ). I ended up doing BK's technique... where you use quite a wide piece of KGD, so...

    After Rewicking a Used Coil, I am Getting a Sour Taste??

    All in all... if I thoroughly cleaned the coil and deck, and the juice is the same etc, then its got to be something with the wick right?.. whether its the material or something got on it somehow? I wash my hands always before I even start taking things apart, and especially right before I do...

    After Rewicking a Used Coil, I am Getting a Sour Taste??

    your getting (or I gave) the wrong impression. Picture this. I have my iStick 50W in my hand, with the base of the Subtank Mini installed on it. On the "Sub's" base, is the rba-deck, w/ the cylinder/cap removed, thus exposing my coil. The coil has no wick in it. @20 Watts, I pulse it a couple...

    Purest Form of Nichrome??

    Ahhhh... I got what you are saying. Good point. I admit, me?? I can be bad about reading entire threads. Sometimes, I try to do "webforum stuff" when I only have a couple of minutes... or worse, when Im immaturely and impatiently trying to find a solution to an issue Im having. (facepalm)

    After Rewicking a Used Coil, I am Getting a Sour Taste??

    Today (or more like last night) I decided to rewick a coil I had been using for a week. Last week I coiled and wicked my Subtank Mini in a manner which yielded the best flavor I have ever experienced yet with vaping... my first RDA is on the mail to my house, so that will change things I am...

    Wicking the Kanger Subtank Mini?

    I got AWESOME flavor on mine last week... with a 2-wire twist of 30 gauge kanthal. I used rips pancake technique and all together its been the best experienced Ive ever had vaping; although, keep in mind that I have a Tugboat RDA en route to my PO Box (my first rda) so we'll see what experience...

    Am I the only one that prefers cotton balls over japanese cotton?

    I am just enthralled by people that come into the local shop and buy anything beside juice... I mean anything... Tanks, RBA's, Rda'S, Wire, WIcking, just anything. The prices are just astronomical, though I realize they have all that overhead to pay for, I have no clue how they stay in...
