    What do you do when this happens

    What your witnessing is the false truths of vaping the governments and other fly-by-night organizations who began to spread a few years back when vaping was just the small wave making the tidal wave it has become today. I still get from random people telling me that my hitter can explode, vaping...

    Got my first box mod! now what...

    Exactly.... I learnt from reading cause I had no one around to ask. So just sharing to help someone else like we were helped. I went from ego stick/clearo to K100 mech and then provari/protank within the first couple months of vaping along with rebuilding so we have had a successful vape...

    Got my first box mod! now what...

    You just went from a AMC Pacer to a formula1 going from a ego pen too subohms. Learn that you don't have to inhale every vape, take more reasonable hits to inhale. Your mouth absorbs the nic also so overnic is easy to do making cloudz with too high nic juice. Mech...nice to have one to use to...

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    Even though I used too much PG when I made the NET(lessons learned being my first try). I ended up with using the NET as the PG in my 60/40 juice and it turned out great. I had to use a couple broken Cuban cigars I found while traveling in a smoke shop since you can't buy leaf tobac in Canada. I...

    Problems with my vape

    I ain't no expert but you can hope that the board has somesorta safety incase it shorts from the juice and maybe why its not powering. I don't have a smok priv 3 but have taken apart several of my mods to clean inside. I very rarely have a atty leak but its surprising how much juice can get...

    Problems with my vape

    Best bet is going onto youtube to research the mod since the shop was no help. You might end up taking it apart to clean the juice from inside. The juice will fry the board then your left with nothing, as stated before addressing the leaky atty also. Most mods are quite easy to take apart so...

    Where to buy small diameter coils?

    Clapton Coil.. -think of every wrap of the wrap wire as a juice channel -the mod doesn't register the wrap wire, just the core wire(s). -IMO..and I say IMO don't make contact or micro coils, make a spaced coil no matter how small the space as long as the wraps aren't touching. -The core wire is...

    Rayon flavor

    Ya....after you thin out the bulk then look again at the tail you do think its too much removed but thats not the case. Less is more concerning rayon tails. If you think you have removed too much you can either rewick or add some small bits to the tail for some bulk, the rayon sticks like glue...

    Question about mods I acquired

    Mechs are great and teach you battery respect. Clean threads, shined contacts and your good to go. 350+ grit sandpaper works great on the battery contacts. The 510 threads are the weak point of mostly clone mechs so an adapter to keep the threads from loosening. I have a brass sentinel that I'm...

    Where to buy small diameter coils?

    The OP would be more after the 30 gauge core, 4 2.5mm wraps of 32 gauge they would land almost 2.0Ω if not higher..too high. The 30 gauge core the same 4 wraps @ 1.5ishΩ. You can wrap a coil around anything as long as its the ID you looking for your target ohm level. I've never used Vandy wire...

    3 months without cigarets

    Awww Gezzzz...into building right from the get go...your going to have a top notch vape experience. I was beginning to explore rebuilding within the first few weeks because of a poorly made factory coil and why it tasted like crap in which led me to find there is much better out there than this...

    Rayon flavor

    Now your way outta my scope. I have only used kanthal and SS, I have a roll of 34 nichrome I've used as wraps, no other wire.

    Rayon flavor

    Thats crappy.....I assume you have been there and tried with the wick. I also pulse the build a couple times to be sure its firing nicely then couple more drops of juice before final assembly...maybe that is the ticket too no taste.

    Ekowool source?

    Ask in the WTB part of the classies. I have a bunch of ekowool from coop buys eons ago that got shelved the moment I discovered cotton then rayon. Postage would suck badly shipping from Canada but someone in the US could have some lying around.

    Rayon flavor

    Should add too that rayon is a magnet to whatever is on your hands, even washing, the soap before building can residue a taste into the rayon. Dust from opening and closing the box can settle dust and other cooties into the box. Ziplock portions of the wicking then put back into the box but use...

    Rayon flavor

    I've been vaping rayon for several years now and I have NO breakin taste at all. Breakin taste or any taste in rayon is usually always user error. If rayon isn't almost coil distorting tight then your risking taste. The juice flows outside the fiber so there is no expansion like cotton that...

    Where to buy small diameter coils?

    You would need a 30/34+ gauge clapton wire if your trying to target 1.3Ω. Your also going to have to consider making your own claptons too. I vape 1.4Ω clapton thats usually kanthal(sometimes SS) single core thats 2.5mmID but....its 29/34 and I have to make them myself cause using 28 gauge core...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    Those are quaint containers for the stuff... I'm no where near that enthusiastic to rebuild ahead that far. Its been over 5 years building coils and the novelty of both creating fancy builds and sitting down to rebuild has worn off. I can tootle puff my 29/34 1.4Ω clapton for several weeks and...
