    Anyone have feelings on Mammoth Mods?

    Thank you! That's really all I'm looking for. Believe me. I know my stuff as well as the next person who's been doing this as long as I have. It comes with the territory, as you know. I just don't prefer mechs, and therefore have less experience with them than regulated devices. It's as simple...

    Anyone have feelings on Mammoth Mods?

    You are incorrect. In fact, I have most likely been using mechs longer than you, as I have been vaping longer than many here and got my first mech when they were basically all homemade. That's not a one-up, just a fact. The question here is fairly simple. I appreciate your input, but it doesn't...

    Anyone have feelings on Mammoth Mods?

    @Bad Ninja No, you misunderstand. Mech boxes are obviously fairly simple when you get down to it, if you have the skills and knowledge re: electronics and soldering. I would not be assembling it. The person who would/will be, my uncle, certainly has the know-how, tools, and experience. And I...

    Anyone have feelings on Mammoth Mods?

    So I've been trying to find a dual-18650 fully mechanical box that I can afford for a really long time. I don't love clone mechs for the most part, but still haven't totally ruled it out. I stumbled across Mammoth Mods, which I had never heard of before. They sell DIY kits and parts to put...

    New e-Cig for a friend

    There are more 'advanced' options by now, but even something like the iJust kits or the smaller eGo ones would be good I think. The above recommendation for the Endura may simply be an upgraded option of either the above though... except I think there are more recent versions of each of my...

    Is there a Hex Screwdriver that fits all Velocity Style?

    MSC Industrial Supply is great for this kind of stuff. I got a bunch of (loose) 1.5mm hex keys and a box of replacement hex screws that fit a number of my attys for a very reasonable price. Anyone know the right size screw for a full sized Velocity RDA? The length is the problem. They are so...

    Paying in Other currencies from USA W/ Debit?

    This is really a question for someone involved with the site(s) you want to order from. The vast majority have contact forms or otherwise a contact e-mail address. A site like Fasttech is based in China (essentially) but accepts USD and US credit/debit cards. Of course they also ship to the US...

    TFA Guava-- GOOD LORD, does anyone really use this?!

    Agreed. I would also consider trying Capella's too, but I am also inclined to try FA first. It will have to wait. Of course I just ordered a whole ton of DIY consumables and shouldn't get more for a while... but next time. Thank you!

    Please help !!

    ^ Getting as good as you can is never a bad goal. Was just reminding you not to beat yourself up when even your perfectly-wrapped .60 coil drifts a tiny bit in either direction :)

    TFA Guava-- GOOD LORD, does anyone really use this?!

    Yes, kind of like that. I MIGHT consider a different guava just to try, especially because it's like a key ingredient in tropical punch, which is what I was going for. This was just awful though. It kind of reminds me of passionfruit in a sense, but that TASTES much better to me. PF smells...

    good flavors??

    Yes, I noticed the test results now, thanks! They didn't have them the last time I was regularly shopping there. I wish I was any help keeping them in business atm but I haven't ordered in ages. Maybe I should get a couple of bottles again. I do always sing their praises though. They're a good...

    good flavors??

    Yes, Copperhead and MEL's RY4 are both very good. From their tobaccos, I also personally loved Red Rider and HFC, as well as Casino.. Grey Matter was also a great juice, sort of a sweet dry tobacco. I haven't seen test results for any of them though... the flavors were just great. Yes, I agree...

    What's been your biggest disappointment from vape gear?

    I definitely would if you still have a Subtank. IMO they're not good enough to be worth getting a new one (although MAYBE one of the newer top-fill Kanger tanks and I haven't tried the absolute newest coils yet) but as I mentioned, the new coils truly breathed new life into what was previously...

    Please help !!

    Just remember that some minor variation in resistance is totally normal, especially with a sensitive resistance reader or device. It will also change slightly as they get rather old. It is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to hand build a coil that reads the EXACT SAME EVERY TIME. Hell...

    Please help !!

    Can we all agree how happy we are that this was a sig30 and not a mech? Little victories... Ed: and for posterity, let's be clear that Tom is being sarcastic. Please don't use household wire.

    TFA Guava-- GOOD LORD, does anyone really use this?!

    so I usually like guava but this is foul and so strong. I made something that contained not that much guava (tasted awful) and forgot to wash the syringe. Now I can taste the guava just from what tiny bit was left in the syringe after using it to make a 100mL batch. It's not the end of the...

    A battery question I think I know the answer to...

    Hypothetical situation: You have a single 18650 device that drains very quickly with your 2100mAh battery. You want to get some LG HG2s (3000mAh) for a little extra life, but your two 2100mAhs are not that old and therefore shouldn't be tossed. The 2100mAhs are, of course, married to the...

    diy e-juice

    If you've been without nicotine for that long, I would highly recommend against using 12mg juice. It just seems a bit silly to me to subject yourself to that much nicotine when you managed to go that long without. 6mg, even 3mg, is plenty for subohm vaping for a lot of people. (Some people do...

    Flavor question

    In addition to what has already been said, I find it a good policy to change up the flavor profile of my juice every so often. I prefer fruit vapes more than anything else, and tropical ones at that, but I cover my bases flavor-wise. At least every day or two, sometimes multiple times a day, I...

    E-Cig cartridge tastes like plastic

    Doesn't sound good, I'd stop using that. There's a reason cartridges truly aren't used at all anymore, on anything. There are many options available for short term use that you could pick up at a 7-11 to satiate a craving for now, or you could just spring for a new device. If you are on a tight...
