    the "science" behind different coils

    Overall resistance, coil mass, coil surface area, airflow, and the overall efficacy of your wick are the main variables to consider when observing what is going on in your atty and building to get a vape you like at a given power level. Before you consider the first two variables (overall mass...

    MCV Raptor T6 - the new mech box from the guys who did the Cherry Bomber!

    Electrically I wouldn't worry about a 2s2p setup in a cb assuming a married quad of 12A 18350's and a build that won't draw too hard from them. With the cb I would worry about the lack of any sort of battery sled cradling the cells making the 2s2p stack mechanically unstable. Looks like this...

    MCV Raptor T6 - the new mech box from the guys who did the Cherry Bomber!

    Damn. I really want one of these. Looks like it would be a good box to try a 2s2p 18350 setup in. The lack of support between batteries in the cb would make me nervous running a battery setup like that. Any word on if CV/panzer magnets work in the switch?

    Need help placing my coil in my Infinite Magma

    You keep the coil wrapped around the screwdriver or whatever rod you wound it on while you are placing the coil, correct? With the magma I position my coil centered over the air hole sitting on the deck. Once I have tightened down the post screws I gently pinch the coil to the screwdriver so it...

    RDA Which Little boy clone?

    I have a LB clone from FT on the way. $8.01 Little Boy Styled Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - copper + stainless steel + POM / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping Assuming it is made by the same factory that made my mad hatter (packaging is the same) it should be solid. I'd...

    RDA RDA for a istick 50w

    You can use any atomizer that interests you. A 50 watt istick limits you a lot less on what you can get a good vape off of vs a mech since your voltage isn't limited. Your wattage will really only limit the wire size and overall mass of a "usable" coil. Stick to kanthal at or smaller than 28...

    RDA Quick help! Tobh or derringer for flavor

    I'll also throw my vote on the derringer out of those two.

    RDA All My RDAs - My Own Soap Opera

    With the Japanese cotton pads I leave the compressed outer layers on, cut with the grain so the strip I cut is about 1.5x the size of the inner diameter of the coil. I then roll it between my palms gently into a little tube so it fluffs up a bit and gets all the fibers running parallel together...

    RDA Velocity or Kennedy V2 Authentic!!

    Don't feel bad. If my experience is opposite of a lot of reviews I usually try and figure out out why I am having problems. Every single bottom flow atomizer I have used is more prone to leaking if I place wick in close proximity to the air hole. When I was more careful with my wicking I got my...

    RDA Best chuff cap RDA?

    The mad hatter is a great RDA despite looking gimmicky. It seems to have the same deck as the freakshow, so that could be an option as well. The mad hatter's flip chuff cap has a draw hole that will accommodate a majority of 510 drip tips as well as being usable in chuff cap fashion (and you...

    RDA Velocity or Kennedy V2 Authentic!!

    I can't comment on the Kennedy or velocity because I don't own them; but from close inspection the ehpro Nixon is basically a Kennedy v1 with airflow control and a two hole block style positive post. The airflow is on the opposite aide of the deck in relation to the Kennedy so it likes clockwise...

    RDA Ehpro Nixon RDA

    There was one at my local B&M. I was eyeying this RDA online, combined with the fact that I typically will impulsively buy an RDA that costs less that $30... I like it a lot. I decided to use the included coils for ....s and giggles. They are 8/9 turn 3mm inner diameter coils. They seem to be...

    RDA Derringer vs hobo v3.1

    Derringer clones are inexpensive. I haven't really looked around for hobo 3.1 clones, so I can't comment on the pricing / quality. If you are buying an authentic quality won't be an issue in either. They are very similar dimensionally. The major difference is a 2 vs 3 post design. You can...

    RDA Temp Control and RDA's with large airflow

    I rarely build a coil with an inner diameter of less than 3mm now. It seems to wick better or at least is easier to get the right amount of cotton/rayon into (without over or under stuffing) and keep up with juice feed nicely. I try not to build coils wider than the airflow ports on my atty. 28...

    RDA Temp Control and RDA's with large airflow

    Getting a good TC vape off an RDA is definitely possible. There are a lot of factors to consider though, and a few variables express the same symptoms. The electrical connection. I will assume the 510 threads of your mod and Atty have been cleaned off with 91%+ isopropyl alcohol. As long as it...

    Up to Date RDA/RDTA Recommendations?

    The derringer. If you don't have one, you should. I'd say spring for an authentic if you can, but if you aren't sure plenty of good counterfeits for under fifteen bucks. I don't see it mentioned very often, but the Mad Hatter surprised the hell out of me. I thought it would be a gimmick, but...

    New to nickel builds, No flavor...burnt coil??

    There are a few solutions to the post hole screw problem. The first is if you have button head post screws just use them to trap the coil leg instead of using the post holes. Typically it is an electrically better connection this way, anyhow. If you have grub screws you can pull some kanthal...

    New to nickel builds, No flavor...burnt coil??

    28g ni is pretty big for an rba. That being said, your coil looks fine. Your wick should have some resistance when you pull it through the coil. It sounds like you aren't using enough wick (make your strip/roll wider). On a TC mod if your juice feed isn't up to snuff your coil will heat...

    Dripping with ni200

    Compared to kanthal or even ti, ni has almost no resistance. 28 awg ni is about the largest wire size you can use and still end up with builds that are reasonably sized for the given resistance. I have a mutation x v4 and 28 awg is the largest ni200 wire I can use without serious size issues. If...
