    Burnt taste from juice?

    ....kinda my opinion of the harsh. Older coils get harsh in time from the "cocoon" of crust the juice leaves on the coil, mostly sweeteners. Burnt or partially burnt coils just get harsher faster. The heat has to pass through the cocoon before the juice can vaporize and that takes fair amount of...

    Burnt taste from juice?

    Your using a pod.. I have no knowledge of how they work, what kind of coil and how the coil is situated inside, never seen one either. This is a general tidbit that does apply to all types of coils. Its a part of realizing that vaping is a technique that has to be learned. The day you ditch the...

    Damaged 510 connection

    Pins and that sort becomes oxidized after a while so its a good habit with 320 or higher grit sandpaper to give them a shine. I put some thin 2 way tape on my sandpaper and use a hole punch to punch out a dot, stick it to a hex wrench that fits inside the 510 , spin to shine the 510 pin. Some...

    vape product cleaning help?

    Been cleaning my attys with dish soap for several years now. Don't overdu the soap, use a small brush and rinse thoroughly in as hot as the tap gets. After a while your attys get a skum film that just hot water doesn't remove, left long enough with the heat of the coils you will start to get a...

    It might be offical -- day 16 since leaving Marlboro country for the Vape Nation

    Best part is the nic fits go away. Forget your smokes at home to run a errand...castrophe. Forget your vape..you'll realize in time how long you can go without vaping and not nicfit out. Just from my experience and how nicfits overwhelm the body. Yes...long enough you begin too crave the nic but...

    Rda pre build coils

    Dual coils requires a finesse to get both coils firing evenly. For a new builder can be frustrating. I still after over 5 years of building don't like dual coil vaping, cause for both the extra hassles pharting with the coils to get them firing nicely and the extra battery strain. If you using a...

    Rda pre build coils

    All I can say from looking at the pics is to have the coils evenly spaced and a IMO lot less space between the wraps. The difference between Ω readings from what they say and what you got can be many things, enough that its not worth buying prebuilt cause they can contain mystery wire of...

    Dry hits

    Cotton is cotton no matter from who or where if you look at its properties, all cotton acts the same way. It flows the juice inside the fiber thus its expanding so the fibers burn then plug one at a time till all fibers are plugged and dryhitting begins. Lots of range of reasons why the coil...

    How to properly dispose of 100 mg/ml nicotine?

    I'd hold on to it and cut it down to 50/50 6nic, add some sweetener and use it as a pesticide. It works wonders on ant colonies. I exterminated a large ant colony under our deck a couple years ago with old commercial juices I didn't vape any more....haven't seen any movement so it musta worked.

    Breaking the Dehydration Myth

    My bite at the why am I so parched apple... I began vaping over 5 years ago, didn't know any better so bought juice blindly from internet vendors. I soon realized how thirsty, not just thirsty but a unquenchable thirst I had. Drinking gallons of water all day then up all night pizzing. I just...

    Who could help me out?

    Once you get more confident in building coils think about making that 26 gauge into a clapton. Super easy to make and well worth the time wrapping the wire. The mod registers the core wire but the wraps are juice channels. Its a more substantial vape compared to a single wire build. 26/34...

    Why are my coils burning up so fast?

    There is 1 thing a lot don't realize especially high power, low ohm vaping is you have a cold coil that takes a moment too ramp up to temp to vaporize. Its that 2nd vape thats the killer now, the coil is already warm so it now takes a millisecond(no ramp up time) and you have a red hot coil for...

    Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

    I got fed up with TC and its hit and miss vaping. I got lots of 24-30 gauge SS I'll prolly not use. I found using 29 gauge is a nice middle ground, 28 requires a massive 3.5ID clapton to get near 1.4Ω taking up all the airflow space in my STM. 30 gauge is too thin and looses its strength then...

    How much $$$ did smoking cost & what have spent your savings on?

    If I assume what your talking about I did that also. Took a $130 TV bill and shrunk it to basic $38, 3 years ago. I have just taken the "box" 1 step further and now use it as a media server for a hardrive downstairs that I download into. We enjoy marathon watching seasons of shows that we no...

    How much $$$ did smoking cost & what have spent your savings on?

    The thing I have realized eon ago between vaping and smoking. I do agree that Nic is addictive but the nic fits that happened when I smoked aren't there anymore. I forgot my smokes at home to run a errand...major catastrophe of not having a smoke, got home and "Get outta the way" to my smokes...

    Burnt cotton after 2 days

    After my initial eye rolling and OMG's after giving this rayon a go(several years ago). I researched it a bit to be sure about using rayon as wicking. Went to visit my oldest son who is a 7 hour drive away and has a Sallys there. Soon as I got into town...first stop was Sallys and all I knew...

    How much $$$ did smoking cost & what have spent your savings on?

    With 2 of us smoking a pack a day at 12 bucks a pack it was $800 a month..that was 5+ years ago price. With rebuilding and DIY we both vape uncontrollably for @15 bucks a month. Since 2013 we have bought 3 brand new off the lot vehicles that we could never have afforded smoking ciggys. 2013 GMC...

    Burnt cotton after 2 days

    Consider switching from cotton to rayon. Lifespan of cotton is a few days, even less if your vaping a sweet juice or overheating the coil. Rayon is a far more robust wicking material due to the juice flows outside the fiber unlike cotton the juice flows inside the fiber(thus its expansion) so...

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

    Exactly... Once you understand the properties of rayon, how it flows, the right amount of tail thinning and being tight in the coil there is no other wicking material compared to rayon. Cotton has such a short lifespan due to plugging up the fibers causing the coil to burn. Rayon...its the coil...
