    New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

    I can't think of any reason why the aluminium tank on the Ivogo base would be any better. The aluminium tank on the SXK base is no better, so I don't see why it would be on the Ivogo base. I can try it for you sometime. But now that I use Cindy's method, I have no problem at least with 60%...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Thank you! I like it! Any chart that shows Ni200 as the b*tch gets my vote ;) Of course I should have guessed that you'd turn my crude specific request into something general and beautiful :) I am amazed though - I had no idea Ni200 would be worst. I mean I knew it was the worst material...

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Funny you should ask, I was told a couple of days ago that, in the context of NiFe wire, "TCR can only be guaranteed for annealed wire". it sounded like that was a generic statement rather than specific to NiFe, but I don't know for sure. I do have both annealed and tempered spools from a...

    Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...

    You really think you're going to have to pay VAT? I really hadn't thought that I would! For an order value of $25 I fully expected it to go straight through. I've never had any other vaping package be stopped - though admittedly 99% are from China who lie through their teeth about the order...

    New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

    Thank you :) And yeah, that's a good idea. I'll give that a go in future with an 80+ liquid.

    Ubertoot v2 Clone Full Package

    OK @misibacsi, a few thoughts: Stainless Steel on the SXK is not the most accurate TC available, but it should work OK as long as there as little as possible 'static resistance'. Static resistance is when the atomizer adds some extra resistance of its own. A key sign of that is that the mod...

    New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

    There's a very simple answer - I suck :) Buoyed by your assurance that it should work at up to 70, I just tried again. I did exactly what you said, moving the tip back and forth a little but crucially not going all the way around the rim like I was before - which now I think about it was...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    I'm assuming he hasn't applied (or isn't using) the Titanium update for the SXM? And therefore 265°F / 130°C is only a bit low. I usually ran Titanium at 140°C on my pre-upgrade Yihis, but sometimes 135°C.

    Haha, shipping notification already, seven minutes after the order confirmation. Good place.

    Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...

    I ordered a second. I'll retire all my clones, and be 100% authentic Aqua - 2 x v2, 2 x SE. With that new discount code it was even harder to resist, despite the shipping costing more than the thing. You people getting it for $21 delivered.. it's just wrong :) I didn't keep my discount, I...

    New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

    I have confirmed that filling is very slow @ 60% and impossible at higher, with: Ivogo stainless + Ivogo base SXK stainless + SXK base SXK aluminium + SXK base Are you saying you want to try SXK aluminium + Ivogo base? If so, then I have not tried that. It does fit OK (but not other way...

    New Squape Rs 1:1 clone by SXK

    OK thanks. I didn't have anything touching air hole but I did not have all liquid holes blocked. I have changed this now and will see how it goes. PS. I think it was you interested in the Vape4Me Horizon clone? Did you get yours yet? I have had my authentic for a few days, and am greatly...

    New Kangxin 50W TC device - Mini VF KX-50D: single 18650; LED torch; USB charge; multiple colours

    Cool. I seem to recall that shipping on Angel is about $5, so you're still looking at $35 - whereas on FastTech, 3FVape and FocaleCig, shipping is free so you can compare that $30+shipping to a $35 mod on the other sites.

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    To add: the above calculation is only intended to be a rough guide, a quick snapshot figure to compare different wires and to give a ballpark accuracy figure for a given wire. It varies with base resistance, hence the difficulty of choosing a single "example coil". But I would say the majority...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    @vapealone ! I was just thinking it would be awesome if we could compare all the wires we've discussed from a point of view of accuracy. What do you think about extending your spreadsheet to show, for each wire, the Accuracy Factor, AKA "Accurate to nearest X°C on a mΩ-accurate mod" ? It...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Yes, overall NiFe52 should be superior to NiFe70. TCR is only half the story The key fact here is that TCR is only one half of the calculation for accuracy. The calculation that is done is: <Base Resistance> * <TCR> Therefore, base resistance is equally as important as TCR. What makes an...
