    single coil rdta on aspire quad flex survival kit. how?

    No plug for the other side? Huh. That's curious. Obviously i don't have the quad flex, but i'm familiar enough with RDTAs. It will work with just blocking off the airflow on the other side. However, there will be some leaking issues if the wick holes aren't plugged up. Not a problem as long you...

    Looking to upgrade to subohm, any good alternative to the Pico?

    Hello ShirraWhitefur, i'd go with a Smok Mod of some kind. They've really been hitting it out of the park lately (in that price bracket). I've got the Smok Alien... really small, practical and powerful. I'd watch a couple of DJLSBvapes videos for further clarification. Tanks... I really love my...

    New to RBA!

    Wow, that are some really bold statements. RTA's beating out RDAs for flavor... oh my.:rolleyes: The only RDA to beat RTAs is the Darang... so you tried them all, yet you say you gave up on them? Erh... But whatever floats your boat... It's all down to preference. A little "imo" would go a long...

    New to RBA!

    Hi Kyrkis, no, you shouldn't prefer any type of atomizer over another. It's all down to personal preference. Imo RDAs give the best vape quality, nothing saturates a coil quite as nicely as dripping directly on top of it. Next are Squonkers, still awesome vape quality... minus the direct...

    Batterys mah for the Reo Grand

    The info given in this thread by others is good.. That was a long time ago there was a debate as to whether protected Lithium Ion or IMR batteries are the way to go. Certainly IMR with their safer chemistry is best, even more so at higher wattages. Absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Probably the...

    Batterys mah for the Reo Grand

    Hi Pluring, not stupid questions at all. VTC5 is totally suitable. Though the VTC5A is just plain better. Btw... have you read mooch's and baditude's blog yet? ;)

    Vaping makes my heart rate shoot up to 100

    Hi alex8039, i think it might be psychosomatic. Maybe you are stressing out about the nicotine, your heart reate goes up, then you measure. But... Nicotine can increase your heart rate. 10-20 bpm is not unheard of. Have you tried smoking a cig and then measuring your pulse? Maybe you are...

    Buying a REO Grand?

    Hello Pluring, As it stands, you'd have to get into rebuilding. Originally the Reos were designed for premade 510 atomizers from Joye. But they are out of production by now, and i'm not even sure you can get the 1.5 ohm version any longer. It's not rocket science though... and you don't have...

    I hate spring loaded 510's!!!

    I agree with the point of the tanks leaking in the first place is the bigger problem here. But.. the 510 on Joyetech and Wismec mods is notoriously crappy. Its spring doesn't travel far enough, so if you screw down atomizers with a too long pin, you'll break the 510 connection, allowing...

    SMOK tank issues

    yeah... like chellaigh said, i believe that is what happened. It somehow autofired, kept firing till battery was dead, in the process burning up the wick, resulting in leaks. I think the chip might have a defect, maybe that was what caused it, maybe it was the button that got stuck. I mean, you...

    SMOK tank issues

    Rip it apart? What did you do? But you have changed the coil, right? Have you looked at the old coil head? Does the wicking look charred? What works for 3 seconds? The whole thing, tank and mod actually vapes for 3 seconds and then it cuts off?

    SMOK tank issues

    Hi fedup2016, What tank and mod is it exactly? So you already cleaned out your tank and changed the coil (you wrote atomizer?). Good. That's what i would have tried first as well. I would try to put another tank on that mod, see if it works at all. It might be toast though... Could it be that...

    Mooch's blog is the best ressource for vaping battery info, imho. He does some serious testing to rate those batteries. Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum So yeah... i'd go with Mooch's info and trust that it's a 19A cell

    Tesla invader 3

    I run it with the vtc5a, i don't push the envelope cloudwise and vape around 70-80 Watts. With my 0.25 ohms build i got the dial a little over the II mark, around 4,5 volt. I suppose i could get away with 30Qs. If you want to cloudchase, i'd definitely pick some 30 amp batts. And calculate with...

    Thinking of getting a mech mod

    Get a mech, do it! They're great. And yeh... it's not rocket science... really not. Mechs have been my daily driver for several years without any issues whatsoever (though now i'm mostly on regulated mods). Stick to the :rules: and you'll be fine. For your first mech i'd recommend one without...

    Well, "better" depends on the power level you are going to use the batteries for. If you know you aren't going to draw above 20 amps for example, you can go with a battery that has more capacity. Capacity and amp limit are opposites when it comes to battery design. The more you have of one, the...

    eGo ONE tank series – CLR coil

    Thanks oplholik, seems like the v2 is what i want then (constant voltage). Weird though that they went away from TC. I don't mind though. Thank you gerrymi. Yes i have considered the ego AIO. All 10 or so versions of it... so confused. This part of the market is out of my comfort zone. Last...
