    Best kantal for high wattage?

    Is going above 50 W a goal in itself, or do you want to do it in order to achieve something else? The more we know about why, the better the answers you're going to get.

    Which battery

    You're probably going to need a glass of water to cool your throat. Good luck! :)

    Had a panic today!

    Amateur. ;) Just kidding. As long as you don't let that happen regularly, you'll be fine. I second 0mg Meniere's recommendation: Carry a backup with you at all times. Or two.

    Which battery

    If you're using a mechanical mod, go to an Ohm's law calculator and enter voltage = 4.22 V (a fully charged battery) and resistance = 0.5 Ohm, and see what you get. (It's 8.44 A and 35.62 W.) If you're using a regulated mod, enter power = 50 W and voltage = 3 V (a reasonably depleted battery)...

    RDA Looking forward to getting my Derringer tomorrow

    I haven't been able to, so I'm back on my Trident.

    best mechanical mods

    I often recommend the Eleaf iStick 30W and their GS Air tank to new vapers. I don't own either myself, but I've tried them, and heard the testemonies of many owners. They're relatively inexpensive too.

    Can regulated mods be converted to a mech?

    Or you can use the original switch to control a MOSFET.

    A SMPL Explosion.

    In today's consumer market, physical compatibility implies electrical compatibility. This particular connector is incompatible with many 510 atomizers, and the mode of failure is catastrophic. Therefore, in my opinion, the quasi-hybrid mod 510 connector is an inherently unsafe design. I once...

    Annoyed with sub-ohm and lack of education.

    I thought long and hard about this before I made Steam Engine. If someone harms themselves because of complacency after using an online calculator, that would be bad. But if someone harms themselves because of complacency not even having using a calculator, that wouldn't be any better. With...

    Mechs vs. Regulated (subjective preferences)

    Mechs, VV, VW, temperature control. Whatever I feel like any given day. Lately it's been temperature regulated RTAs for the most part, but right now I'm using a mech with a bog standard Aerotank. It seems to be the best match for this particular juice. Of course I could have put the tank on a...

    Series / Parallel don't matter (dual-batt) in regulated devices (kinda)

    For me, this is reason enough to choose parallel batteries as the default configuration for regulated mods.

    The end of microcoils?

    Iron melts at 1538 °C, (2800 °F). It boils at 2862 °C, (5182 °F). I believe this difference is important here, but I'm no metullurgist so I'm not going to assert anything.

    Which provari to get???

    I have a Provari 2.5 Mini, and it's a great mod. But the P3 is more versatile.

    Worst vaping purchase ever that you sincerely regretted?

    A cheap Ego clone from Fleabay. When I took apart the charger, this is what I saw:

    Can someone breakdown a dual-coil calculation to me?

    Simple? Simple??? ;) A Q-tip would probably work ok, but if you use a screwdriver or other smooth metal cylinder, it will be easier to get the coil off it without distorting it. Carbon residue is no big deal, but you can use alcohol, no problem.

    Stupid question: is a mechanical mod one that has no soldered wires ?.....

    I have never understood how the presence of wires makes a mod non-mechanical. Electrically, they are, for all practical purposes, indistinguishable from copper tubes. I guess I'll just have to accept that the nomenclature is the nomenclature.

    How often should I clean Kanger Coils + Hamburgers?

    Is this thread not about hamburgers with bacon, or is it not about hamburgers with no bacon? I'm so confused. Let your palate decide when to clean your atomizer heads, or swap them out.

    I need advice not abuse

    A passthrough with a Naos Raptor 60 driven by a 350-400W PSU (or a car battery) should be able to drive that build safely, and with some extra power to go.

    I made a calculator

    Microsoft Internet Explorer does not support the HTML5 up/down buttons for numeric input fields. This is true for all versions of MSIE (that I know of).
