    Hi all newbie here

    Like many who more or less impulse buy a vape at the beginning. I had no idea about nothing when I started...needed a issue with the gear to start researching to find places like ECF. SMOK hitters are very fragile so one drop can be fatal but almost every hitter is that way. Its a single battery...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    OOOwhaaaaaa.... .7 using 24 nic would snap the eyes back taking a good honest hit. You have too short blast the 24 not to rip the throat being a subohm build. I dunno your vape habits but adding a clapton wrap of 34 or 36, you'd need a bit more power but gives you a moment of extra vape as the...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    I run a 2.5mmID 5 wrap 29/34 rayon clapton 1.2Ω in a STM. It depends on the atty but the bigger coils can hinder airflow. Getting the same ohm range using 28 core/34 wrap clapton was a 3.5ID build using up the entire deck area. 30 gauge core was too flimsy and doesn't wick well thus easily...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    Well ya.....some pay exorbitant amounts of money for their cotton that IMO does the exact same as drug store balls. I bought a 1lb roll of cotton baton that is very much like the fancy layered pads, has a top layer one can peel off and in a thin sheet...paid 5 bucks for it. Its each too their...

    Have to quit nicotine

    The Nic may be addictive but its not the source of "nic fits" that one has to crave that smoke. When I smoked cigs, the nic fits were there. With vaping those nic fits aren't there any more, I can go hours without having a vape. It took time to flush all the crap out of the body from smoking but...

    Protank MicroCoil Discussion!!

    The bottom line is that cotton is cotton no matter where its from or its cost. They all have the same properties...expand when wet, all else is marketing. Juice flow inside the fiber means easy to plug up so no more flow in that fiber until no more fibers left to flow juice then it burns. It...

    Reusing your coils - your experiences

    Making and rebuilding coils for over 5 years I figured out long ago that trying to save that coil by dryburning, cleaning, scraping took as much time as just winding up a new coil. The more dryburns the less integrity the wire has thus distorting and lifespan is shorter and shorter the more its...

    Thinner Wire

    I never went below 24 gauge, just no need too. Even 24gauge takes a mighty toll on the batts ramping up the builds. Using cotton it really doesn't matter how thin a wire you use but the thinner the wire(30, 32 gauge) looses its integrity then begins to weaken and distort after a couple dryburn...

    Vodka - or can we be creative?

    My best guess is that 40% liquor store content booze has 60% water and its the water that bubbles, boils and can cause havoc with the throat. I use to unload those wooden booze barrels eons ago and that leftover quart up to couple gallons of booze in the bottom of those barrels was uncut and...

    Dark ejuice question

    Juice darkens in time, thats just the way it goes. Its the sweeteners that determines how dark how fast. Store bought juice that is over sweet to begin with depending on how long its been sitting and a lot of other factors like heat can affect the color of juice. They can easily get syrupy then...

    Beginner MTL coil buid.

    You location in your avatar says Paris and the "place"...its a lead without advertising the company to a reliable wire source thats easier on shipping charges than some popular US companies. You being new to vaping...knowledge is your best asset. Its all a learning curve till you find "that...

    Beginner MTL coil buid.

    I live much further away than you do... I dunno how or where your going to your supplies from but there is good wire and crap wire so sometimes shipping costs are worth it for knowing what your getting rather than some who-knows-where or what wire in a baggie from a B&M.

    Beginner MTL coil buid.

    Lots of good stuff already said... Once you get settled enough making builds and since your ordering wire. Getting started using single wire builds to understand the building process is the best way to go. Consider how easy rebuilding is then you will realize real soon of the massive improvement...

    Help with wicking issue

    Its the Grahams brand box #44060 for the 500ft that can be easily found in a Sallys beauty supply(depending on where you live). I heard about this rayon few years ago and living in a small town...nearest Sallys was a 4 hour drive I went to all the local hairdressers to look for this box #44060...

    Help with wicking issue

    Space the coils a bit (just enough they aren't touching)cause from what I see the middle is burning. I had middle burning issues using contact coils along with using cotton the fibers become plugged from being burnt so no juice flow. I ditched contact coils years ago just cause they like to...

    Rayon Questions

    Just remember rayon ISN'T cotton is any sorta way, totally opposite properties. If you wick your build like cotton your going to have a bad experience with breakin taste. The perfect rayon build has no breakin taste what so ever. Read up on "thinning" the tails not trimming cause with rayon less...

    How do you deal with spit backs???

    Pulling too hard on a coil that isn't heated enough causing the excess juice to boil and not vaporize. That can be caused by unbalanced airflow. The coil is getting worn, thus the carbon cocoon is using up the heat so again just boiling the juice. The pulling too hard can pull excess juice onto...

    I'm bored with vaping...

    We began vaping just at the tail end of crap quality and no quality control in gear. I had to revamp the clearo coils that some were just a lump of wire waiting to burn the throat so one learns mighty fast. Used stock coils for a couple months then began rebuilding those clearos then on from...

    I'm bored with vaping...

    For me the novelty of building wore off long ago. Been there and done that with subohm...just a phase. TC was too much hassle and inconsistent. After over 5 years of building its just something I have to do. Same with DIY juice(over 3 years), I use to have oodles of flavors all steeping...
