    Chain vaping on a Subohm tank vs Dripper....

    I have a few drippers but never use them. I don't like the mess they make if you overfill them nor do I like carrying a bottle of juice around. Once you find that perfect build in a tank using a dripper isn't necessary. I've been building for several years and right from my first rebuild of...

    The Modding scene vs cost

    That is the biggest misconception in DIY is that you can reproduce a commercial juice just like it is out of the bottle on your first try. I have never bothered cloning since I have such a limited pallet cause of flavors I simply don't like because of some of the commercial juices. I spent my...

    The Modding scene vs cost

    I just happen to fall into rebuilding. My nature is to take whatever apart to see what makes it tick. I've known the resources of google and YouTube years before I got into vaping so figuring out why my CE4 clearo tasted so bad was a short journey. After that it was just simple progression to...

    Best cotton

    Well.. darkened I do say is a good word and yes it will darken some. I use only spaced coil builds, contact coils just never worked as good as spaced for me. I can put 200+mls of my DIY hangsen tobacco(6% flavoring) juices through a build. My wife can run 100-150+ mls but her juice has 1% cotton...

    How is vaping in public recieved in your country/area?

    I live in the middle of nowhere butthole town of 5000. We have a electronics store with a crap couple shelves of unheard of juices and outdated gear. My only perk is living 10 minutes from the US border so I have access to quality gear that use to be cheaper but exchange rate. I do see some...

    Best cotton

    IMO Rayon is the only way to go. It doesn't scorch like cotton does, take a well spent rayon build and after a rinse the rayon is still white and not scorched, cotton becomes black, burnt and the fibers plug up with gunk. Rayon doesn't absorb like cotton does, the juice flows outside the rayon...

    Tank Cleaning Question

    You can rinse your attys all you want but it doesn't remove the film that juice leaves behind. I do a lot of just rinsing but every so often I break my subtanks and the RBA's down to bits and with soap wash them thoroughly. I'm quite surprised how much YUK sits under the peek insulator of the...

    Go To Flavor?

    I won't say that I add TA if the standalone tobac fails. I vape all the HS tobacs by themselves and like them, its just the grassy taste that the RTS TA brings out that I like the most. Garuda TA also has that grassy taste too. I have cut down my tobac percentages over the last many months cause...

    Go To Flavor?

    My ADV for the last 2 years I've been DIY has been Hangsen Desert Ship 4% and RTS TA 2%. I also vape HS Highway and No5 in the same percentage with the RTS TA. Sure glad I bought 500mls of RTS TA when it was available cause its been out of stock for much too long. Same with the hangsen tobacs...

    Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

    My wife decided to try Win10 a while back when it first came out on her laptop. It lasted about 15 minutes before I had to revert it back to Win8 and she still disliked win8. Now with her desktop she wanted win7. I always disable indexing and send error reports through the services in our comps...

    3 Ecigs, 1 Ejuice :(

    The protanks and kayfuns are great for higher ohm builds but not so good with lower ohm builds cause of air restriction. Its the subtank mini RBA that gives you ability to build that .2ohm SS build all the way to the 1.8-2.2 ohm kanthal build with airflow to satisfy every vaping level. I have no...

    Merlin by Augvape and Roxy

    I had my merlin laying on hair brush bristles(well dog brush) on the coffee table, it didn't have a band on it rolled off the brush and fell a whole inch and half and it cracked the glass. I was some choked that the glass broke after such a minor fall. I now have a wide vape band to hopefully...

    Merlin by Augvape and Roxy

    28 gauge kanthal is my fav wire with 28 SS running close behind. Thick enough to be robust yet thin enough to heat up efficiently. 28/32 kanthal claptons coming up as 1.2 ohm is mighty fine subtank vape with the provari. Looking forward to wrapping claptons with 34 so its ramp up time and heat...

    What would be the best starter kit

    Lots to choose from for a new hitter but my advice is to spend the extra bucks and get a hitter that doesn't have internal batteries along with a charger. Your hitter will last 6- 8 months then its trash cause the internal batts loose ability to hold charge vs just buying new batts and hitter...

    Merlin by Augvape and Roxy

    Polycarbonate? lolol. I hated the dark tube for seeing inside the tank so had a bunch of clear in cart ready to order but on the first wash I noticed my black was coming off so with a knife I scraped my tubes clear....happy camper. I have broken my 2nd merlin glass trying to get the tank apart...

    Merlin by Augvape and Roxy

    Thanks Hiclass....I have a airbubble that has taken up residence at one of the juice holes in my merlin and never thought to flip and spin the atty to remove it. I haven't noticed it be a problem, just that its there and drives me nuts to have to see it. I have corralled the seeping enough by...

    TC for me, and not going back.

    I went onto the temco site to look for wire and ya...3 month backorder really sucked for stainless. Their site too is awful slow. I have never vaped any wire other than temco kanthal wire. Geekvape stainless in a prize win very recently. I ordered Lightening vapes off ebay, got me some 250 foot...

    TC for me, and not going back.

    ArcticFox isn't a installed program, its a standalone app that just runs when you click it so you shouldn't be worried about the comp or tablet using AF. I had installed, reverted the stock firmwares many times(waiting to brick it) on my IStick100 trying to get AF to read my hitter before I...

    Nitecore Magnetic Stirrer & Heater

    There is absolutely no need for a vortex to mix juice, I don't know about yeast starter if its required or not. The viscosity of the pg/vg is too thick. I build 60/40 and have my desk in the basement so it gets cool in the winter almost enough to have to warm up the VG some to get it to mix...
