    Drippers - What is your sweet spot?

    I got a Valkyrie clone the other day. After fixing a major airflow issue, I set it up with 28 AWG, dual coils. Landed somewhere around 0.6 Ohm. This particular spot is pretty sweet IMO, but I have been thinking about ripping one of the coils out again, to save some liquid and battery. Would...

    Battery questions

    That one is easy: Hold a drill bit in one hand. Kanthal in the other hand. Wrap kanthal around drill bit. Done. :D Now, wicking on the other hand - that's an art form.

    Vamo v5 R.I.P

    The Provari clearly surpasses the Vamo IMO/IME. I own one of each. The Vamo is better at making quick adjustments and seeing your settings/battery status/ohm reading quickly. The Provari is better at everything else IMO, IME, JMHO, JM2C, YMMV, take everything I say with a metric ton of salt and...

    understanding dual coils

    The newest Aerotank dual coil atomizer head from Kanger is no gimmick, at least not for me. It is the best clearo vape I've had so far. Miles ahead of Kanger's old dual coil heads. Much better than the Nautilus too, IMO.

    Provari V3

    I have a couple of mechs myself, and a Valkyrie clone on order. Horses for courses, and all that. Dripping on a mech certainly has its charms, but personally I don't find it particularly practical. One day I'll get myself a bottom feeder of some sort, preferably a regulated one. Too bad...

    Provari V3

    If yours can do that, I'm not going to doubt you. I haven't been able to find the exact number in any "official" specs for the 2.5 (Provape's FAQ is sadly outdated), so I have only anecdotes to go by. But anyway, my point is that it is pretty clear that the Provari was never intended for sub ohm...

    "It's pretty good, for the price..."

    LOL. I can tell you, even a Bugatti Veyron sucks when you want to use it to plow a field. (Lamborghinis are much better for that.)

    Provari V3

    Yeah, I have run a dual coil dripper on my Provari too. And liked it (take that, haters). ;) And before someone charges in and cries that it doesn't work for their 0.0000001 Ohm dripper, believing that this information is somehow relevant or interesting in any way: Listen. It's not. The...

    Provari V3

    The Provari 2.5 does max 15 W, afaik. That's plenty for my dual coil glassomizers. It is not enough for (many) dual coil dripper setups, but dual coil drippers is simply not what the Provari was made for. Personally I feel that complaining about this, is like complaining over a Harley Davidson...

    Browning on vision spinner battery

    You may have a faulty charger that has overcharged the battery, causing the failure. Or maybe it's just a bad battery. Anyway, these non-swappable batteries should be considered consumables. If you want something more lasting, maybe buy a mod? Then you can buy high quality batteries of your...

    Provari V3

    Yeah, I have to admit I was being a little bit sarcastic there, hence the /s tag.

    Browning on vision spinner battery

    I am still not 100% sure what that might be, but: If the brown stuff comes from inside the Spinner, I would guess it has been leaking out of the battery. If that is the case, the battery has gone bad, and should not be used (or charged) any more. You don't want it to explode in your hand or...

    No idea. Pictures please?

    Static electricity and batteries

    You can "shield" your plastic tray with e.g. copper tape used for guitar shielding. Don't "shield" it on the inside, that could short the batteries. "Shield" the bottom of the tray, on the outside. I know from guitar forums that people who live in dry climates and have had problems with static...

    Help with new Taifun GS from fasttech

    Mesh feeders is what did it for me. Personally I am not going to experiment further with an all-cotton setup, of that I see no point.

    Moving backwards in vaping?

    I have mechs, mods, RDAs, RTAs, gennys blah blah. Lately I've been using dual coil clearos when I've not been using rebuildables. The other day I put my PT2 mini (with a rebuilt single coil) on a Spinner, and was surprised at how well it vaped. I could easily use that setup all day. The only...

    Single coil vs. dual coil vs. watts per coil?

    In many cases 7 W works well for a single coil too, IME. Yes, dual coils will split the power (watts) between them, so to speak. And because they are normally wired in parallel, they will also split the current (amps) between them, but not the voltage.

    Nemesis and the Beauty Ring

    They work for me. I have to use three of them in 18650 mode. Buy a couple extra, because they are fragile, or so I've heard.
