Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Oh weird, sorry I don't know! I have had at least two v2 clones on the go at any one time, all the time, for the last month at least, and never had any leaking at all. What % juices do you use? Mine are never less than 50% VG, and recently lots of 60, 70 and 80. If you use <50% that would... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Buy this and retire a less good tank? :) Do you still use any of the non-OTM v2 clones? I never managed to get hold of an OTM, so this is going to be nice for me, my first authentic Aqua v2. Some of the clones I have are pretty good, but all have little niggles here and there, like the... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Re leaking, have you checked to see if you have an o-ring around the plastic insulator that goes under the positive post? This is notoriously missing from many clones. Quite often it is in the spares pack, but not on the clone itself. It's a tiny o-ring, I think 2mm x 1mm. To check, unscrew... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Oh there was one other area of potential difference - size of the wire Copying what I posted to the Titanium thread earlier today: So in this, 3FVape's Chinese wire did fall down. It just wasn't the right size. Maybe if I'd bought 24G, it would have been actually 26G. So I don't use that... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yes, for TC they behave the same. I can feel slight differences in feel between the Chinese wire versus the rest, it's much softer. And the Unkamen wire as mentioned has more of a dull/matte finish rather than shiny. Then there's differences in springiness - ZiVipf in Germany and Crazy Wire... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
In the States, I can recommend Unkamen wire. Reasonably priced and good quality wire, I received a small sample from a user here to compare to others. There's also Stealth Vape and Crazy Wire in the UK and ZiVipf in Germany, which might work out too expensive including shipping. Apparently... -

If you have a soldering iron it's very easy to change those plugs. But I realise that won't help a lot of potential buyers. Then again, how often will one disconnect the battery? And even if one wants to change battery, many/most alternative batteries come with different plugs anyway - at... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yeah this is the key. Thanks for the update, @tomr1088 , it certainly is interesting to hear from a real user of SSV. However everything you said could also apply to Titanium. So far the only information we've been given to justify SSV's eye-watering prices is a load of techno-babble from the... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Oh, well that's different. I didn't realise they'd been slowly lowering its price, I thought it just appeared today at $19. OK that's good news then. -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Regarding temp: Yes, 215°C / 420°F is a common starting temp. I use Rayon which is more like 460°F. But even with cotton it may be OK to go a bit higher, on the basis that the cotton will, hopefully, never be completely dry. Regarding this "true max capable wattage", yeah, that sounds... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Yeah, but not that far. I have seen it on sale for like $80, a 40% discount or more. $19 is less than the cost of most of the clones from FastTech. Hell, the "OTM" or "produced in the same factory" clone on FastTech is $35. $19 is utterly insane. It's certainly far less than they will... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
190 sounds pretty low FYI, but if it vapes good that's fine. You might need a higher temp on other builds/devices. I've just started getting into mesh, or am trying to - what are your horror stories? :) -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Well check out the list of comparisons I re-posted for Mad Scientist. What I mean by dry burning is you can fire the coil exactly like Kanthal. Not little careful bursts, but holding fire down @ 30W or more until it glows bright. I do that to clean it between changing juices, and to pre-fire... -
Authentic Aqua V2 for $25 shipped...
Ordered. It's $25 shipping to the UK, so $45.77 total. I actually tried to buy two, but two packages changes it to "large envelope" international shipping which is 3x the price of normal international. I suppose I could go back and place a second order, but eh, I don't even really need this... -
200W Asolo TC Box Mod by Heaven Gifts
Good to hear you're getting good results, @USMCotaku I wasn't around last night but will be spending some good time on it today. I'll see how the accuracy is and try some different DP settings. @hittman it's a huge amount of money to spend on a VW-only mod, do bear that in mind. In my view...- TheBloke

TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
A man after my own heart. This is how I justify all my purchases. "If I'm going to spend £15, I may as well spend £30 for this extra benefit. Now, if I'm going to spend £30, I should really spend £45 for this benefit. If I'm going to spend £45.." (Though Resistherm to Platinum is still a... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
It is a Nickel/Iron alloy. Either 70% Nickel or 52%. We're awaiting confirmation of whether that's too much Nickel for those with sensitivities, but we have a willing test subject. It's perfectly accurate for TC vaping, something I have confirmed. For TC vaping, it's the TCRs that count... -
Apollo Reliant 60W - TC with TCR adjustment, including Stainless Steel support
Wow, amazing shipping time @gorman! Mine shipped today so I hope I will receive it tomorrow. -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I'm thinking I should do a sort of graphic, summarising all that. Like a table, wire type down the left, properties along the top, to show what wires have what properties -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Yes, higher TCR and higher cold resistance = ultimate accuracy. That said, as soon as we're in the TCR range of 0.003 and above, I'm not entirely sure that TCR makes a huge amount of difference. I have no problem measuring a Titanium or Resistherm coil at 0.0035/0.0032 at exact temp, just like...
