    Nitecore Magnetic Stirrer & Heater

    I am to assume the spinning stirbar mixes the ingredients together. It moves the mix to the side then up and the center comes down to be mixed. I tried to find what its called but didn't. If you add too much air to the mix, some flavors may diminish and it speeds up the oxidation of the nicotine...

    TC for me, and not going back.

    Thats the key phrase. Lots don't consider that low build could be dangerous. Some of the SS coils I built come out to less than .2ohm and that scares me a bit. Being new to stainless builds there still is a lot I have to learn and starting out with ultra low ohm builds isn't how I want to learn...

    Nitecore Magnetic Stirrer & Heater

    My hardrive magnet stirrer works best with a 20mm stirbar and smaller. I did buy some 25mm and they are much bigger than the 20's and get thrown once it picks up the speed. I could mix somewhat larger batches and use the 25mm bar with the right container and a heavier magnet but I will loose...

    TC for me, and not going back.

    I been kanthal committed now for my entire 4 years of vaping and building, not even thinking about other wire types or hassling with them. I've had a IStick TC100 for well over a year now and never left power mode. I won some wire in a contest a few weeks back with several spools of SS and...

    problems with a kangor tech

    Sounds to me like lousy batteries or your trying to push too much power through maybe 10amp batts or clone batts. I personally would never buy batteries from a store vendor no matter if they said they are genuine, maybe their supplier sold them clones. Batts have to come from a reputable dealer...

    Do you re-use plastic bottles?

    I kept all my plastic and glass jugs, rinsed them out then threw them into a pail. I did throw out the ones that were crappy clear jugs that crinkled easily. I had no intentions of ever using them but once I went into DIY I was grateful I saved them all. I wash them with a bit of soap and have...

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    I've never ordered from HealthCabin cause their shipping has always been expensive. Great deal for 7 bucks a subtank kit, bought several of them along with several bases and a couple discounted hitters. The RBA alone is that price at most vendors. I spent 50 bucks and with all the discounts and...

    Should I be worried?

    I bought the Istick for my wife in late 2015 and she used it for over a year being her only hitter she used. She liked the battery life of 2 batts. That's refilling prolly 3-4 times a day, everyday. The threads have gotten tired over that time and I can't control how tight she screws the atty on...

    Should I be worried?

    Its actually called a airflow controller. I put a thin oring between the Istick and controller to hold it in place without having to torque it down. Split the controller and put another oring in the middle so there is almost no gap. It works very well and I haven't yet removed the controller...

    Should I be worried?

    I hate puff counters. I don't really care how many puffs I do in a day. I also DIY so juice consumption I have no concern for either. All I know is my wife vapes 200mls a month so I can keep up with having steeped juice for her all the time. I got some great builds in my subtank minis and seem...

    Nitecore Magnetic Stirrer & Heater

    Thats what my mixer is. A project box, computer fan that I removed the blades so it spins faster with no resistance and hardrive magnets. I made it 2 years ago and still running good. I didn't use a potientiometer but got a used fan controller from the comp shop for a couple bucks. Bought a...

    Myths?

    Vaping doesn't make you thirsty. Its the drymouth from the sweeteners in commercial juices that suck the moisture out of the mouth thus fooling the brain into thinking your dehydrated so you drink but never seem to be able to quench the thirst, that was my problem. Once I began DIY and not using...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I just recently just discovered SS and loving the vape. In TC along its becoming a much better vape than kanthal. I'm now with playing with power curves in ArcticFox for both kanthal and SS and I've improved the kanthal clapton by boosting the watts for a moment to ramp up the clapton faster...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I was having trouble figuring out how to install the AF software, not much info out there....It wouldn't recognize the Istick. I finally saw a YT vid spoken in Russian but watched what he was doing. He used a .bin file to install the AF. That's what I was missing and had no bin file in the...

    Wicking: symptoms of not enough and too much wick.

    My go at dryhits with cotton is too much wicking in the coil along with tails being too thick. The juice absorbs into the cotton and runs inside the fiber so too much will choke the coil and in the tail will obstruct and not flow freely to the coil. Rayon on the other hand doesn't absorb the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I've had my Istick100TC for over a year and just last week I found and upgraded the software to ArticFox. Its been working great in my Istick. It give you more options in fine tuning a TC vape and making the hitter more personal. I'm still learning the power curves, preheat, all the adjustable...

    Fasttech Veterans

    This last batch of updates I did a few hours ago. It hung on a black screen longer than usual restarting, enough for me to begin thinking it froze and had a pharty update. I always hide and never run the malicious software updates cause its for those who don't take care of their comp and scans...

    Help looking for a new tank

    Carto's...wow. Tank systems is a big jump compared to cartos. Research the price of coils before you buy a tank, some tanks can have the atomizers up to 5 bucks each. Look to see if that tank has a RBA option if your looking to rebuild for both vape quality and savings. Lots of good tanks out...
