    Apollo + Chrysalis

    Give us a better picture of the 510 connection on your atomizer, please (from the side would be the best). The Apollo has a pinless topcap, so the positive contact on the atomizers 510 must protrude past the (negative) threads to avoid hard shorting your battery. Which tank are you planning on...

    What Mech ya sportin today ?

    Cloned copper CB, authentic kryptonite vapor 454 big block, geekvape tsunami driptip. I bought the 454 BB from 101vapes last week, for the amazing clearance price of ten freaking bucks. Hell yeah. Got it two days later. I've had my eye on this RDA for about a year now. I have a 2mm ID, 28 awg...

    RDA Interesting Tobeco Stargate rda

    The Stargate, eh? In this case, does RDA stand for rebuildable dripping atomizer, or Richard Dean Anderson?

    Springiness of SS and Ti

    You can anneal ss or ti by heating it up to orange with a small butane torch and letting it cool slowly to room temperature.

    RDA Geekvape Tsunami RDA

    I bought a stainless steel tsunami 22 from my local B&M yesterday. I've been keen to try this atty since it was announced, but I already have over a dozen different RDAs, so it was easy for me to not order one. Not so easy for me to pass up when I can have it immediately. Anyhow, I have one now...

    Favourite wicking material? Which one and why?

    Try washing your hands better and dry burn your coil prior to wick installation. You might want to use vinyl exam gloves when you wick your atomizer, as rayon wicks very very well and tends to strip oils off of your fingers, which is likely the source of your off flavors. How long did you you...

    Manhattan V2 - Aluminium

    Why haven't you considered a stingray or stingray x? There are plenty of nice 1:1 clones available. Fully disassembles without the use of a hammer and punch rod, has very little voltage drop from mod resistance, and properly adjusted, is impossible to get a hot switch. The only possible drawback...

    Nitecore i2 Question?

    Yeah, i2 is 500 mah/ channel. It's too bad too, because it takes a year to charge a 26650.

    I need Baditude and/or Bad ninjas help

    I wouldn't drill holes in it, either. Primarily because GUS makes a nice mod, and because stainless steel is a royal pain in the .... to drill unless you have a drill press with a nice vise. Because the mod has a fuse, a hard short at the atty will pop the fuse. As long as the installed battery...

    Dense Vapor

    Use a low resistance, low-mass coil, and the largest possible inner coil diameter you can run on your deck. Dual parallel coils are good for this.

    Favourite wicking material? Which one and why?

    I started with Japanese cotton. I switched to rayon for all my rda's a few months into rebuilding and never went back to cotton, as long as your hands are meticulously clean when you build there isn't any added flavor. Rayon certainly wicks very rapidly. A few weeks ago I started running solid...

    What device can change flavours quickly?

    A vertical coil with a SS mesh wick in an RDA with a deep juice well works extremely well. I'm also running a SS coil and TC.

    Most Efficient Coil Build for Mechs ?

    4.2 volts is the most you can expect off a fresh battery. However, between the mod's resistance and the voltage sag of the battery the most you can reasonably expect to the coil is 4 volts, maybe a bit higher, though the first few tenths of a volt drop off after the first drag or two. Capacity...

    Vape Forward Stout thread

    The stout is a fine mod but it is really mistargeted. Even if there were 40 amp CDR 26650s and 100 Watts was reasonable battery life would still be poor. 100 watt mods need two cells. As a 5-60 watt mod it is great. If you are using it to tootle puff to midrange modwomping it isn't a bad mod. At...

    Skyladon is the WEAKEST mech I own

    The stingray x is a nice mech, the conductivity of copper and the durability of stainless steel. If the one you bought has the 18350 + two extension tubes for 18650, figure out which order looks the most seamless, clean the threads really really well (use a toothbrush in addition to Nevr-Dull or...

    Skyladon is the WEAKEST mech I own

    Try Nevr-Dull wadding and a bit of force to remove the arc-glazing. If you are a mech head you should have a can of it anyhow, it is cheap and great for removing tarnish or patina. Make sure the firing slug battery contact is clean, dead level, and isn't pitted -judging from the construction of...

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    It is a tank, though it has received little use over the last six months, when the VTC mini became my goto regulated (I am a bit of a mech head). I'm actually giving the VT and an 8ml kanger subtank mega to a friend tonight so he can try and quit smoking.

    Mesh and TC

    I run a 316l SS vertical coil wicked with a solid mesh roll in my Veritas on a VF Stout. Works fantastic with TC, easily my best TC experience to date. Since the coil is SS and wrapped for the heat flux I like, works great on a mech or regulated mod as well. I put a new bottom 510 insulator...

    Yes, It's a Genisis

    Nice job on the wick there. I still regret not picking up a black/cu osmium clone when I had the chance. Those boxes are nice.

    Joyetech Evic VT 60 Watt

    I bought an evic VT almost a year ago. The positive 510 contact in mine has always been stuck, despite literature online claiming it is spring-loaded. If you review the thread, it was a relatively common issue. No amount of poking/prying has fixed it. Although it adds a little height to the mod...
