    Possible fake nitecore charger

    About the only way a charger can damage a cell is by overcharging voltage or charging at too high rate. You did check battery voltage after charging, right? Between 4.1v - 4.2v? Do the cells get hot while charging? Hot, not warm. What cells are you using?

    plastic in Innokin Endura T18 coils

    Yep, that is the old school NR/R/NR wire. You can see where the leads attach to the coil. Like I said nothing to worry about, the NR leads don't get anywhere near as hot as the coil. Many of the older clearomizers used NR/R/NR wire configuration. If you don't know for sure you're buying...

    plastic in Innokin Endura T18 coils

    One leg of the coil has to be insulated from contact with conductive material to prevent shorting & arcing. I don't know if this type of head uses NR/R/NR wire meaning non resistance wire for legs welded to resistance type for coil back to non resistant or due to being dual coil could be NR/R...

    Tube stuck

    Remove drip tip & top cap like you would to fill, grasp the fill ring on top & base from airflow and twist to unthread. You may have to get imaginative to find something to help get a good grip on fill ring. It is only held together by the internal threads in the top of the replaceable head &...

    Tube stuck

    Try something like a thin screw driver, rod, straightened paper clips through the airflow openings in the base to hold it as you unthread the top.

    Burnt coils - RTA

    If you're talking about a burnt taste, that comes from the wicking being scorched or burnt, even little tiny areas produce the funky taste. Of course the basic answer is too much power being used. Always start low & gradually work up. If you're talking about burnt looking coils, that comes from...

    Sigelei Chronus Shikra

    If you're using fully charged quality cells inserted in the correct orientation and it won't turn on at all might be a dud. No new power device should need updating to function correctly. Return for refund. Might try reading owners manual, removing batteries press & hold fire button for 15...

    Vaping isn't exciting anymore

    I'm still excited every day that I no longer smoke, that is good enough for me.

    Smoking and Vaping Mixture causing Vaping Harshness

    You don't give enough info to even make wild guesses. Amount smoked, frequency of vaping, e liquid ml used per day, pg/vg ratio, nic mg/ml, power range used, Ω of coils & type of delivery device, mtl or dtl for starters. Could be as simple as too high nic or power, could be scorched wicking...

    Which mod for accurate TC experience

    Quite a few reviewers are just salesman in disguise or get free stuff for giving good reviews. Most often you get what you pay for with inexpensive power devices. TC isn't really about flavor production, it is a way to limit coil temp, supposedly makes each hit the same, prevents dry and or...

    Which mod for accurate TC experience

    Depends on which you like best, almost everything to do with vaping are matters of personal preference. What one or many thinks is 'best' you may hate. Many start off with a certain wire type then later find they prefer a different one over the others. There simply is no 'best' whatever to use...

    Which mod for accurate TC experience

    What is/was the problems with the Revenger & Cylon you thought wasn't working properly in TC modes? Are you using a suitable wire type & using a build you know to function well and in TC in your RTA's? Are you familiar with 'setting up' / fiddling with TC settings, using various temperature...

    Power dipping during draw from sub ohm tank

    Well, he has confirmed this twice now. And he confirmed what exact cells he's talking about via a photo in a previous post and stated which two power devices he used. It is a bad idea to keep using cells that act up, don't perform normally or exhibit any odd behaviors.

    Power dipping during draw from sub ohm tank

    Large sources being duped has happened a few times before. Main point is, if you have determined the batteries are causing the problem, Stop using them. That isn't the way I understand it. Sounds like the problem followed the cells to a different power device.

    Power dipping during draw from sub ohm tank

    Considering the picture on dash vapes show the letters on their example are LGDBHG21865 ---> LG HG2 18650 3000mAh Battery - US at DashVapes.com And the batteries you have that you said are acting up are LGABHG21865, I'd say there may be a problem. Either way it is a bad idea to continue to use...

    Power dipping during draw from sub ohm tank

    Not if the cells he has have the letters as he wrote them. There is no such thing as a legit LGABHG2, so if those are the letters on the wrap = possible counterfeit. LGDAHB21865 - LG HB2 - green wrap LGDBHG21865 - LG HG2 - brown wrap. The color of the wrap makes no difference if the identifying...

    Power dipping during draw from sub ohm tank

    You're either writing the numbers wrong or you possibly have counterfeit cells. LGDAHB21865 = 30a / 90w each ~ know as LG HB2 green wrap LGDBHG21865 = 20a / 60w each - known as LG HG2. brown wrap. It isn't a good idea to continue to use any cells you notice any odd behavior from.
