    Just a Smok Alien question...

    No need to be sorry, we were all new once. You are in best place though to learn. You will be advising new people yourself soon before you know it. Q2 are good coils. Start around 30W then keep moving up until you are happy. As Sugar & Spice said, you need to 'prime' the coils. Basically drip...

    Just a Smok Alien question...

    Which coil are you using in the Baby Beast? You can always start low (25W), if that isn't enough keep moving it up in 5W blocks until you get to where you feel happy with it. I have an Alien with a Big Baby and I'm comfortable between 35W and 45W. Ignore the recommendations printed on the...

    So I've decided to mix my own juice

    I wish I could, I'd have more choice but I'm in the UK and when I tried ordering direct and getting it shipped over, just says my address is invalid so I'm stuck ordering from importers.

    So I've decided to mix my own juice

    Wooo I wouldn't even consider using that.... Have nearly 100 flavours and none carry warnings. If you order some more try The Flavor Apprentice (TFA) branded flavours from a reputable supplier.

    Advice needed

    My better half uses a Smok OSub 80W. Great and well built compact mod, feels solid. Easy to use, has a big fire bar so sits comfortably in hand and just feels "right". We got it for about £42 from Amazon with a Smok Brit Tank but I've seen them cheaper since then. 80W is plenty of power to...

    Considering a 4x18650 mod, any recommendations?

    The mod would spend nearly 99% of it's time in a vehicle centre console so the weight/bulk wouldn't really be an issue. I love the Alien as it charges through USB, but realise this isn't best for the batteries so fancied a quad so wouldnt need a charge when on the road and could use the...

    Considering a 4x18650 mod, any recommendations?

    I'd happily spend a fortune... Mrs may (will) kill me though so I need a budget... I considered tinkering in mechanical with an RDA, just waiting the the right Mech mod to come my way, would only be a single 18650 tube though until I knew the ins and outs fully. For now just a regulated to step...

    Considering a 4x18650 mod, any recommendations?

    Hi All, As title says, I fancy a quad 18650 mod. The appeal is the huge potential battery life (Will use Samsung 30Qs or Sony VTC6). I will never get to anywhere near the potential power, seen all are 300+ watts. Only been able to find 3 mods so far, Smok GX350 (The favorite), iJoy Maxo and...

    Whats new in the dual 18650 mods

    Smok Alien is a great all rounder. That's currently my day to day mod with a Big Baby sitting up top. Nearly 2 days from a single charge (Samsung 30Qs), simple to use, reliable, big clear screen, TC works well. I can't really fault it.

    New to ecf

    Welcome & congratulations on staying off the cigs! Nautilus X is a good tank for MTL, my better half used a Nautilus X for quite a while as preferred MTL aswell but has recently switched onto the Baby Beast as found she started preferring DTL after using mine (quite a lot!) Whatever works for...

    Wismec Reuleaux RX300 Carbon Fiber Box Mod

    Well, if you are going to start somewhere, that's fairly high place to start! It's a great mod and with the right batteries will run any tank you choose easily. It's hard to give a recommendation on the tank without knowing what you prefer. Are you using this to quit cigs?

    My alien smok feals weak and lack taste

    I wouldn't say the RBA is hard to work with, I own two (One for me and one for Mrs). They use the same RBA as the Big Baby. I have fitted Dual Twisted 26g 316Ls in there with room to spare. Screws are durable, I had heard can be stripped easily but never had an issue. Wicking is one of the most...

    My alien smok feals weak and lack taste

    0.4 is better. How does it seem now? The amps displayed on the Alien are completely irrelevant, can just be ignored. You are fine at 60W, keep it under 100W and won't have any battery issues. Just for reference, I use a 0.3 ohm coil at anywhere between 35 and 45 on Normal (think you have yours...

    My alien smok feals weak and lack taste

    Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you are using the RBA in that tank. If so what build are you using with which cotton type? If you are using a Smok coil, that resistance is wayyy to high, remove the tank and disassemble it. Refit the base to the alien, tap the fire button to bring the...

    Mech & RDA suggestion.

    No, it would be preferable as could see a bottom firing button being a little awkward but I'm sure I'll adapt! That's just scary! How can they get away advertising a battery at 35A when it comes out so low? I'll always stick with "Big 3", for sake of a tiny amount of money (Less than a £1)...

    Mech & RDA suggestion.

    I was going to order one, sadly everyone I liked the look of was either discontinued or out of stock, just my luck! Had a look at UK suppliers but they are either out of stock aswell or are £30+. Must be popular! I'll keep my eyes on it and see if come back in on FastTech. If not any other...

    Mech & RDA suggestion.

    Ah that's a good point. As long as its not a monster (Smaller than my Alien at least!) Can't see an issue with going for a parallel. Thanks for that, looks stunning! I did have a little look through FastTech but alot of choice, and as I said, if I can't get it in my hands before buying, I...

    Mech & RDA suggestion.

    Hi all, First things first, let me say I hate you all.;) I was a happy little sub ohm tank RBA regulated mod vaper. I was happy, I was content. Then I joined here.... Now I can see myself slipping into being a hobby vaper and I really really want to. I'm still stuck on nicotine (3mg) but I...

    Back on cigarettes because all the TFV8 coils tastes burnt

    What wattage are you initially firing the coils at? Start low, then ramp it up gradually until you get it where you want it. Firing 100+W straight away can fry the cotton.

    Suggetions on battery mod pen style for TFV8 smok tank

    The TFV8 is a big tank for a single battery mod. I wouldn't even risk running a TFV8 on my 220W Alien, with the batteries I use (Samsung 30Qs) I'm only safe up to 110W. Past that the Amps exceed the safe limit. I run my Baby Beasts on a Smok OSub 80W at around 40W and occasionally on my Alien...
