    Tempted to run a DNA40 with a 18500

    If the 18490/500's can handle 16a (max the DNA40 will pull) it should be fine, know AW makes some 1200mah 490's that will handle 18a.

    Used to vape bobas, went a year without, just found bottle; MISS BOBAS

    Yeah its been a bit now since they pulled it, i really hope they're able to get it back to what it was Though i've since moved on from Bobas, it was my one and only ADV for over a year and half and i vaped a TON of it, so it will always have special place in my heart. I'm still sitting on...

    Provari Radius

    Sounds like you were semi interested in what us 'wannabe rocket scientists' had going 10 days ago. Or maybe you asked about nickel coils in a Kabuki because you wanted to tell someone to 'get a life' because they choose to vape differently than you...

    TC, VG and high temperatures

    I'm left to assume if you set it to 310 (590f) then it will theoretically reach that temp at some but it won't take long to torch the cotton, and the temp control will essentially be doing nothing (since it will probably never throttle down wattage). Also keep in mind that acrolein is the same...

    Welcome to ECF! To vastly oversimplify it, the deeming regs are the apocalypse, and HR2058 is a tiny ember of hope to save vaping in some sense, but given how thorough and ruthless they have been in the proposed deeming regs things are not looking good. Juice wise, common sense would point to...

    Whats your thought about using TC mods with Titanium, Nichrome and Kanthal

    Hey whatever works for ya. But my point is there has to be reason for the difference in heat production. Normally you would assume its a byproduct of the temperature being regulated when in TC mode, but with Kanthal that's not the case, so i'm left to infer it is somehow delivering less power...

    Whats your thought about using TC mods with Titanium, Nichrome and Kanthal

    Its not doing any actual temp control/limiting since you're running Kanthal, so i see absolutely no benefit to running it in TC mode instead of regular power mode. If anything it will theoretically give you more erratic performance as the chip is trying to use resistance fluctuations (that...

    How do you figure out Ni200 ohms

    Running Ni200 duals, he'll struggle to get to .1, even running 30g, and he'll basically never get to .2, unless they're like 32g and and 4mm in diameter. Using Ti would allow him more range in building duals and staying within his TC mods limitations (depending on what they are),but if the mod...

    How do you figure out Ni200 ohms

    Go to steam engine, set it to Ni200, input your gauge of wire, then increase the diameter of the coil to something around/above 2mm, depending on what you prefer. Adjust the target resistance till you get a wraps number/resistance that is within the operating ranges of your mod and will still...

    How do you figure out Ni200 ohms

    The resistance will still vary based on gauge of wire, number of wraps, and diameter of the coil. But, with Ni200 you will be running extremely low resistances, ie .05-.2 depending on what resistance ranges your mod will handle. For example a dual 2mm diameter, 30awg build @ .07 would be around...

    Great... this just made the front page of Drudge...

    Well considering it appears the atty, dt, and mod are all in-tact i find it highly unlikely that the "mouthpiece went down his throat and exploded again". My bet is he was hitting it when it vented and he inhaled/took a direct hit from the outgassing/results of the thermal runaway. This is a...

    FDA delivers Final Deeming Rule to OIRA

    Not that this is a surprise but reading through that, specifically the Summary of Research section, basically EVERYTHING is gone, it'll even crush the BT ciga-likes, at some point even the big boys will lose interest in jumping though hoops for a semi-limited market. Its actually scary how well...

    Nickel coils always tasting bad

    No threads to link really, just natural to assume that there will be some leftover oil/residue from the manufacturing/drawing of the wire itself. Also have seen a few people mention solving an off taste by cleaning their wire. Same situation with Kanthal but most fresh kanthal builds are dry...

    Nickel coils always tasting bad

    What mod(s) are you using and what type of builds (besides the atlantis coils obv)? It's odd that it happens across a few mods and tanks/rdas, especially since you describe it as a 'dry hit' taste, which a properly functioning TC build/mod shouldn't do.

    What 18650 batteries for DNA200?

    The maximum the DNA200 will ever draw is 23 amps, and unless you're running it at 200w flat out (highly unlikely) it will only draw that amount for VERY short periods of time. You should be fine with VTC5s, 25r's, or HE2's among a few others. Check out Mooch's Blog for a great resource on...

    is Popcorn flavor TFA 12% will be harmful and contains diacetyl?

    TFA Plain Popcorn is listed as containing "no custard notes" which could essentially be viewed as "no diketones".

    Nickel coils always tasting bad

    When you wrap your own coils are you making sure to thoroughly clean the Ni200 with alcohol? This is definitely a must. Its also possible you're one of the people who Ni200 tastes 'off' to, i've never noticed a difference between nickel and kanthal but others report nickel has a 'different'...

    FDA delivers Final Deeming Rule to OIRA

    Just go away. You contribute nothing but misinformation, and passive-aggressive condescension with 99% of your posts on this forum (the other 1% being provape related). If you honestly think you're smarter than the majority of the people on this forum, including people who are in the trenches...

    FDA delivers Final Deeming Rule to OIRA

    Don't worry everyone Steve has it all figured out, there's no threat to vaping, and we're all paranoid idiots with zero reading comprehension. Glad we got that settled.

    Used to vape bobas, went a year without, just found bottle; MISS BOBAS

    Have to assume they lost a flavoring/supplier or someone reformulated their tobacco absolute etc, having vaped a TON of Boba's previously i never really got any of the taste/mouth feel of heavy diketones, so if there were some in there, it couldn't be much.
