    Need Help! Kayfun Clone about to blow up battery???

    Something is obviously shorting. Have a close look at the center pin, and how it connects to the positive post on the build deck. If the positive post is twisted or loose, it will touch the negative post, causing a short. Check that nothing is loose. The positive post is not supposed to be...

    what's the highest voltage you vaped on and what resistance was your coils

    As you increase the resistance, you also have to increase the voltage in order to stay at the same power (wattage). And vice versa.

    Vamo v3 or coolfire 2

    The Cool Fire looks bad-as and cool, and/or ridiculous and ugly. The Vamo looks more stylish, and/or boring. The Vamo has a display, VV, tells you the resistance and battery voltage. The Cool Fire is simpler to use, because of the lack of a display, VV, etc. I own a Vamo. I don't own a Cool Fire.

    Why 30-50 watts if 8 will do?

    Why bacon if oatmeal porridge will do? ;) Tastes differ.

    what's the highest voltage you vaped on and what resistance was your coils

    I have vaped at 6V with a 2.4 Ohm coil just for the lolz. Tasted OK (but then again I made the build for that exact purpose). The advantage of VV is not necessarily that you can crank up the voltage, but rather that you can adjust it to taste.

    huge heat difference? just me?

    I have no idea, turbulent fluid dynamics is much more complicated than DC electronics, and way over my head.

    huge heat difference? just me?

    .1 may not sound like much, but the reduction in resistance is 1/3, in other words 33%. So a .2 ohm coil will give you 150% the current and 150% the power of a .3 ohm coil (disregarding the internal resistance of the battery).

    Why do random ones leak?

    Inconcistency in the coil heads, is my guess. Or maybe some of them have bad O-rings.

    Protank 2 mini non glass

    Maybe get him an Aerotank mini? Then you get both a glass tank and a steel tank in the package.

    New member. Help with Vision Spinner. Battery Issue.

    You also need a backup. If an equipment failure is all it takes to get you back to the combustion cigarettes, you're not playing it very "safe".

    33.3 Hz vs 650 Hz?

    When the rattlesnake sound comes from the atty, the logical explanation is that it comes from juice being vaporized 33.3 times a second instead of at a constant rate. I just washed and dry burned a coil on my Vamo an hour ago, and the rattlesnaking was crazy loud. I guess that was due to the...

    How long is a VV/VW mod supposed to last.

    Yep, adding an air flow controller to the Protank 2 makes it twice as good IMO.

    How long is a VV/VW mod supposed to last.

    Then I will have two Provaris. And you will have one Vamo. Ok, I can live with that. ;) (Just for the record/completeness: In reality I do own a Vamo too. And it is still working.)

    Curiosity killed the cat at 3.6V

    It also depends on the atomizer. A dual coil dripper (for example) with a big chamber, large coils and wicks, and a wide open airflow, will generally need much more power than a clearomizer, in order to reach the same "vaping temperatures".

    2014 - Mechs are out

    Why so defensive, Tangaroav? Look, what I have to say is about the message, not the messenger: * There are valid reasons for buying mechs. * Film photography still has its uses. * Regulated mods are not superior in every aspect of vaping. * Predictions about the future come cheap, and most of...

    Vamo V5 watt and volt calculation

    Sounds like a job for my latest calculator. ;)

    How close is too close?

    As long as the coil itself is not touching the posts (or the deck or the outer walls or the top cap), you're good. Short legs is a good thing. Placing the coil close to the air holes is also a good thing IME. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to achieve both at the same time.

    "Sleeper Coil" vs. Two Separate Wires?

    Some aspects of vaping is becoming the new audiophoolery. :facepalm: I blame Rip(s like a train Sick as)trippers. :tongue:

    USPS...Realy???

    Reminds me of the nic juice I ordered from UK to Norway. I had almost forgotten the whole thing, when one day it arrived with a big red stamp reading "Missent to Australia". I considered marking the bottle and using it for a new "brand" of DIY liquid that I would call "Linie AquaVape", but I...

    Comment by 'Dampmaskin' in 'The Steam Engine (vape calc)'

    Heat flux in relation to vaping is largely uncharted territory. The calculator can give you the numbers, but I cannot say which numbers are "better". The numbers may be significant, but there might be too many other variables at play, making the numbers less useful. I simply do not know yet...
