    New Kanger enclosed Coils growing "whiskers"?

    I bought one pack of those coils for use in a mini pt 3 and found they didn' t feed very well at all. Had to take 2 or 3 priming puffs every hit. Go to your local store and buy them out of the old style ones, problem solved :)

    How to mill down grand

    If it's flat to begin with, you should be able to do that with a file in a couple of minutes. Sit your file across both sides of the lip, use long strokes, preferably with a file wide enough to do the whole surface in one pass. No power tools required, very little chance of buggering it up.

    I was laughing at this yet was amazed! He found a niche and filled it!

    They might...or they might just go back to smoking cigarettes that came in hidden under someone's foreskin :S

    horrible questions people ask us while we vape

    You know those have poison in them right? They're worse than smoking. You know those don't actually help you quit smoking, right? t still has nicotine, so you're not quitting anything!

    Do I need an ohm meter?

    I'm not an expert by any means, but if you're using wire of known resistance, a mandrel of known diameter, and are keeping your coils over 1ohm, you can be reasonable assured that your coils are pretty close to what you were looking for.

    Yeah, I messed up....

    For all of my "back of the drawer" flavors, my secret technique has been to cut it in half with vg and abouot 20% vanilla. It pretty much overpowers everything, and i don't have to waste a week worth of juice.

    A strange Question...

    I started with 50/50 juice and it was HARSH. Cut it down as much as I could but when i add flavor (i assume it's pg) and ym 100mg nic is pg, the best i can get with 20% flavoring is 32.5pg/67.5vg until i get some of the 2% super concentrates and cut the nic down a little more

    Aluminum drip tips?

    It freaks me out that there are tips made of so many sketchy materials. Accidentally chipping a tooth on a heavy stainless top would be bad enough, but what about the glass or porcelain ones? And the WOOD. I don't think I'd ever make a fitting made to transport heated vapor out of wood :S...

    Juice needle bottles and syringes

    I bought 30 15ml needle bottles and 5 30ml needle bottles off of ebay for about $15, and the needles have a hard time passing more than 70% VG. Bought a half dozen 30ml and a dozen 50ml amber glass bottles from the drugstore, $1.49 each with glass droppers. Small enough to get juice into a...

    If you think you can just walk into a machine shop and get them to do anythng for free, you're sadly mistaken friend :) Most shops are about $100/hr for shop time.

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    The local store here has the MVP, SVT and VTR and i took a look at them. I found the VTR bulky and heavy, and the SVT a little too phallic :) That and my buddy has a VTR and he told me about how the ring limits which atomizers you can use. Like I said, I'm vaping to quit smoking, but i...

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    The reason I was looking at the Cool Fire II was because I don't really like the look of box mods, otherwise the MVP would be on the top of my list. As it sits, I can get into a CFII with some batteries for about the same price.

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    Yep. That's what I'm doing :) I'm vaping to quit, and the only reason I want to get a mod is because egos are pretty fragile and I've already had 2 break on me in 2 months. I am going the least cost intensive route possible. I will not be buying another device unless this one breaks or...

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    Hmm...so, going by those tests, as far as I can tell the differences in discharge power and discharge time between the two are pretty much negligible, maybe 2 or 3 minutes difference in the .5a range, MAYBE a minute in the 2amp range. Reviewer rates the reds as "acceptable" and the purples as...

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    Hmm. So, i just figured out that with a 2.9 ohm coil (max for coolfire 2 is 3ohm, i believe?) with max 12.5 watts, it will draw 6 volts (all max for the mod) and still only draw 2.1 amps. I realize that maybe the numbers are fudged for some maufacturers, but the cheaper batteries...

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    Fair enough :) So, i guess then, my choice is between the red/white 800mah 6.4amp efest and the 700mah 105amp purple efest (what i can get locally). Will i see any advantage payign $3 per battery more for the purple batteries?

    Are IMR batteries really necessary with a regulated mod?

    Hey all! Just a quick question. I'll give you a little background info as well, but my main question is whether IMR batteries are really necessary. First, regarding my current setup. I started out with an 1100mah ego stardust kit. Went to a kanger mini protank 3 after about a week, and...

    Recommend a torch

    There's a whole boatload of mini torches, bernzomatic style, on fasttech for about $2. I was going to throw one of those on my next order to see if they're any good. Worth the gamble.
