    Looking for the Sweetest Smoothest Caramel Flavor.

    I also use the butterscotch. Currently I am using all FA flavors. Caramel, Vanilla Tahiti, Coffee, and Butterscotch. I have messed with the percentages of each flavor, and I just don't think the Caramel is pronounced enough. I was using Vienna Cream, but it made my whole batch taste funny, so I...

    Your kanthal wire spool is on the Fritz. Lol. Did you accidentally let it all unwind when you opened it? For some reason I am really OCD on stuff like that. I cut extra notches in mine so that I could tuck the wire in there to hold it. Then I can actually unwind the wire at half the diameter of...

    Looking for the Sweetest Smoothest Caramel Flavor.

    I have just gotten started in making my own DIY juice. I am trying to perfect a good caramel coffee flavor that I order from a vendor. Right now I have a good mix that is okay, but not great. I ordered the flavors from FA (FlavorArt) Everything is good, except the caramel flavor isn't sweet...

    Or mountains of silica. Lol. I feel obligated to use it all before I buy any new wicking material. Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk

    I think I got the JFC ring to spin freely. It's still pretty tight to turn. I ended up wrapping it with cloth and using some wide vise grips, I started to slowly turn it and there was a small snap and it started moving. Hope that didn't break anything. :unsure:

    The site is in Chinese, so it probably is. But China is #1 at ripping off patents and ideas. Anyone know how many RTA makers actually manufacture their tanks in the USA? I don't think I've come across one yet, but I haven't really looked too much. I would love a USA made Merlin with real...

    Hopefully it's not a knockoff.

    Can you dry burn the titanium (I would guess no, but I could be wrong)? When I was making some kanthal coils to use later, I was wrapping them and then I had a cigarette lighter that I would use to get the wire glowing while it was compressed. When I did this, the lighter left a bunch of the...

    I am the same I generally wait until the juice taste like crap, and the coil is so gunked up that it hardly produces vape to rebuild. I think the titanium or any other TC wire seems to last longer. At least it seemed that way on the last one I had in there.

    Okay, that makes sense. I was thinking WOW that would take a lot of power to heat that up. Plug it into a 220V outlet.

    Ill order them on the first. I am almost certain that they will make a big difference in how well the mod performs. Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk

    Lol, I know this. In my earlier post I had the lower Ω coil on. I could set the device to the highest temp and watt setting in TC mode and fire it and it wasn't getting nearly as hot as the set temp. The wattage also never passed 16-17 watt. So it was a cold vape even at highest settings. I just...

    Yes, yes there is. I just have really really bad luck with things. Often the bad lucks hits all at once and covers large periods of time such as a month. (Had both my bank cards hacked, Got a defective Pico, Got a slightly defective Merlin, The tinting chipped off the Glass tank the first time I...

    Yea, I've never really had any issues using silica with the wicking. I just put a new coil build in last night because I was having some tank issues. But I used a coiling tool and wrapped a longer titanium coil (it actually bends a little bit because it is a little longer than the distance...

    So just take the copper screw and insulator out and tap in there? Or do you mean from the top of the deck? I just know how to take the main components apart. I don't have the stuff to press parts off. Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk

    It can happen when the metal is thinner in spots, idk about the merlin tank parts, but Chinese metal in general can/used to be iffy. Do you have a spare glass? I was worried about that at first. I didn't want to over tighten it, but still have a good seal. Plus the o rings are so thin that...

    Lol did the metal top cap actually break or was it the glass. I guess we cant expect perfection from china. I have no doubt that if these were made and machined in the USA, they would be a lot better. China has been known to use a lot of junk metal with different grades of steel melted into...
