    *GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

    Mark might be a metal magician, but batteries are batteries. Also, the DNA200 chip is much bigger than the DNA 40, so you can cut down on height and width only so much. About the only real advantage for MB I see here is that with the hybrid connector, as one can either save space or use a bigger...

    *GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

    Small and compact doesn't really suit the DNA200 all that well, unless one is willing to sacrifice battery capacity. One day usage of practical usage requires a 3S 1Ah LiPo, which is the size of two 18650s, so we're talking Opus 200 size. Evolv is also working on a 2S firmware upgrade, but that...

    Be sure to clean your wires, preferably with an ultrasonic. The nasty machining oil is much more noticeable on the Gem, because it is not a juice-guzzler.

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    Uhm, not sure you got your units of measurement right there. ;) STM isn't a good TC atomizer in my opinion, though others will disagree. I always had problems with it, which is why I stopped using it. Some day I'll find the rba section I misplaced and sell it. To check the firmware, hold the...

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    You need to use a wrench while tightening it with an atomizer (or vice versa). I just used a cheap atomizer clone, since the threads on those are usually pretty sloppy and I don't care if it came to harm. ;)

    Boxer Mod Dual 18650 Yihi 350J

    Where do you live? Maybe someone can help you? Otherwise, the battery terminals slide in and there are little catches that keep them from sliding back out. So long as you bent the solder tabs and soldered the wires below the bend, they should fit into the slots.

    Thinking about a box mod, but I've not been keeping an eye on the market

    True, don't dispute that. ;) Samsung 30Q and LG Hg2 are 20A capable 3Ah batteries. Of course, actual capacity decreases as current draw increases, but the same is true with a LiPo. Both are fine if he's planning to use Atlantis nickel coils. The problem with using USB to charge while vaping...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Subtank mini is designed for single coil, not dual coil. I'd try it again with a tank designed for dual coil.

    Thinking about a box mod, but I've not been keeping an eye on the market

    Sorry, but I've chain vaped on the SX Mini many times and it has lasted a day each time. Also, LiPos generally don't have a better capacity then 18650s. 3 Ah is attainable with just one 18650, whereas the same battery capacity in a LiPo requires about twice the space as an 18650.

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Nickel is hard to do in dual coil, but can be done. Easier with Titanium if you are willing to give it a try.

    sigelei 150tc vs ipv4s vs ipv3li vs snow wolf limited vs dna200 vs sx350J

    Vaporflask, because I prefer being able to swap out the batteries and the form factor is much more pleasant than a box. Seen several posts about DNA 200's having to be replaced, so I'd personally not rush in on that.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Cotton singes around 450~500 F, so the state of the cotton itself gives some variability. Also, how quickly the power is ramped up and the resistance of the coil can matter, as the dry coil cutoff is not instantaneous. So if it's really far off (e.g., singe at 350F), then sure. Otherwise, there...

    IPV D2 announced.

    I also suspect that the IP d2 will use pwm/boost, rather than buck/boost on power mode, but we'll have to wait and see on the reviews. The IPV d2 may also not be as efficient with the battery, but without a Joules count that will be hard to determine. Even so, with a good 18650 it should last a...

    *GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

    I did a 28 awg Kanthal build on a 2.5mm coil. This isn't my usual build, but I have a reason to do it now. First build, too much wick, wasn't surprised. Cut the wick down just a little bit. Maybe .5mm and 1mm on each side, wicking great now. Happy Days! The Wae2 is here. I gave in. ;)

    IPV D2 announced.

    It's mostly a matter of capability. The IPV d2 looks it will be fine for things like running manufacturer's coils or for running simple single coil builds. If someone is interested in doing something more complex though, the SXM has more features that will help them get the most out of their...

    *GEM: A new RTA by MarkBugs

    With enough practice? I've done a 26 gauge Ti coil in the Gem, but the next one will be back at 28 gauge. I prefer the increased airflow at 28.

    The YiHi SX350 35W Chip at Varitube

    A system is only as capable as its weakest component. So if you use two batteries in parallel, but the conductors aren't thick enough, then the conductors limit your current draw. For example, if the wiring/chip is unsafe to operate above 20A, then you need to operate in serial configuration to...

    It's been awhile since you randomly needed to mention the DNA200 here for no reason. Congrats on lasting so long. ;)
