    Purest Form of Nichrome??

    Here's my view of it... Its called NiCr... Nickel-Chromium... So "pure" NiCr would be an alloy containing nothing but Nickel and Chromium (whatever the ratio). Ni_Cr (according to Wikipedia or other explanations) is an alloy that contains Nickel and Chromium BUT... may also contain Iron and...

    Wowsers!!! Excellent, I had recently grabbed 26 from temco. :D 1) Do you think 32 would be better than 30?.. or stick to 30. 2) Im probably gonna vape 80vg w/ lemo2... what have you been using? 3) How high off the deck? Thanks for advice mate : )

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    you can only fill as high as the center tube on subtank mini that is inverted. Even if you filled it exactly at the top of the tube, there would still be plenty of air... however, Ive always filled to 3/16-1/4" below center tube.

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    in my first or second post I I specifically mentioned Rip trippers pancake wicking method... Wicking in general isn't the problem. The problem is: 1) why soes it dry hit after a refill? 2) why would doing primer puffs (whether immediately after filling, or anytime after being filled... it...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    if you'll notice. 1) I originally primer puff, not only JUST after a refill, but continuslly before EVERY hit, to get a large thick rip. 2) Priming actually CAUSES dryhits. Wrap your head around that one.

    Eleaf Lemo II

    it appears I need a Phd in Vape - Coil - Wicking Theory just to get the Lemo2 to taste decent AND not dryhit or flood. Its funny, my subtank (as far flavor) took me 3 tries to nail flavor that I had not previously experienced; then, though deciding not to send it back, I opened the UD Zephyrus...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    nice!! I love BK :D He's another reason Ive gone thicker lately... but I admit, I havent been combing / thinning it out on the ends. Plus, I took another aspect from another guys tutorial on wicking his lemo2 for "max vg, no dry hits." Where, I cut the wicks to be long enough to just hit the...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    yeah... i use 3mm on subtank. my wicks are rather tight... not so tight that I can barely pull em throuh, but tight enough so that theres defintely a decent amount of resistance. I was under the impression that thicker is better. After Rips pancake wick vid, ive been going thicker on my...

    Suntank Mini Dry Hits After Refills

    I have 2 Sub-Minis. One has the dual airflow and an old rba-deck that has juice channels that I modified with a file. The other is the v2 (plus). When I refill the tank, there is always a bit of juice left... anyway, I flip tank over and set down (inverted) on a paper towel, so the driptip can...

    RDA Anarchist wire?

    funny, I ask similar question days ago. According to Squidoode, Anarchist wire is the "purest" form of nichrome. Now, as said above, there is ni-cr 80, 60, 40, 20, etc. those numbers refer to the percentage of Nickel in the Nickel-Chromium alloy mix; HOWEVER, as youll see on Wikipedia or...

    UD Zephyrus vs. Goblin

    I will put a link below fir a review that will help answer these ?'s... that is, if you havent gone elsewhere, since this post is kinda old. But airflow seems to be "exact" same. The airflow control's largest setting on the Goblin is bigger than the airholes on it's deck... so, since the deck...

    The goblin mini looking pretty flavorful

    ooh ooh ooh!! Pancake wicking?! Now your speakin my language... I will surely try that build. How many wraps, what dia. do you wrap around, macro/mini or spaced, and what vg/pg are you usin for that one (just so I can adjust my wicking if needed)? Thanks for the reply mate :D

    Org. Cotton Balls vs Koh-Gen-Doh

    The bleach?.. no, of course not... no my friend, you will die from the pure disappointment of letting me down.:pervy: :D Seriously though... I should have used emojis and whatnot in order to express that I was not angry or cross at you; nor was I disgusted at your choice to vape the non-org. I...

    Org. Cotton Balls vs Koh-Gen-Doh

    man... like a fool, after reading your reply, I go up to Sally's and ask for something called, " organic Salon Coil." Once seeing they didnt have it, I read your reply again and see "non organic." I would never use bleached, non organic cotton. I appreciate your reply though.

    Org. Cotton Balls vs Koh-Gen-Doh

    Im thinkin of buyin a bag of org cotton balls from local CVS, since I have heard of others doing this. Up until now, I have been using the classic KGD square pads. Aside from the form that the materials come it, is there any difference in performance when comparing the 2 (i.e. flavor, wicking...
