    PG/VG Question.

    I think the worst you’d get is a greater chance of leaking (PG is less viscous, more runny than VG) and increased throat hit (PG doesn’t cause throat hit, but nic does, and VG “mutes” it while PG doesn’t) from the additional PG. If you’ve been using it already with no problems so far, I think...

    Almost Wired

    I've never used nickel, but if I recall, it has a super low resistance so it takes a lot of wraps to get up to a usable level. Like, as wide a coil as will fit inside your atomizer w/o shorting. Is there a reason you want to use nickel, specifically? It was the first TC wire, only because it...

    Quickest way to get that done is the "report" button. I'll do it for you, this time.

    Innokin Proton 235W

    Yeah that's Innokin for you, I think they all do that. At first it kind of turned me off, but now I think I actually kind of like it. I don't change wattage that often, and I turn devices "off" when I put them in my pocket, so having to hold it before the wattage changes actually means I don't...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    Yes. That's why we always use the 3v rule of thumb for low voltage under load. That's where I got the figures of 75w per battery, or 150w for duals. That's why I said he "might" get away with 180w at full charge, but would be over the discharge limit as the batteries drained towards cutoff...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    Oh okay I get what you're saying, then. Yeah I guess that does make some sense. Everyone has their own level of caution. I don't advise anything decidedly reckless, but at the same time, I'm not anyone's nanny.

    Difference between nominal voltage and displayed voltage

    On the pico, you can turn it off (5x clicks of the fire button), then hold the fire and minus buttons for a few seconds to display the battery voltage (charge state.) Or, if you put it in "bypass" mode (3x clicks of the fire button while turned on to enter the menu, select "Bypass," press fire...

    Difference between nominal voltage and displayed voltage

    "Nominal" voltage is used, because as a cell discharges, its actual voltage varies from moment to moment. The cells we use go up to about 4.2v at full charge, and down to around 3.2 when they need to be recharged. "Nominal" voltage is just halfway between those two extremes. It's what we...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    Sorry, I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this. Can you give me an example scenario where the mod fails, and causes a dangerous situation with the battery, because the watts setting was too high, but, had the watts setting been lower, it would be safe? Or is that not what you're saying?

    advice what to try after juul

    You're 2 weeks in (congratulations!); right now, "not smoking" is more important than anything else. Once you've kicked that habit for good, then you can start worrying about reducing how much you vape.

    Innokin Proton 235W

    I'm one of the winners of the Proton kit (thanks Innokin!), and I can tell you that the "joystick" doesn't stick out any more than a regular button. It's more of a "nub" than a "stick." Like a button, but you can also click it up/down and sideways instead of just pressing "in" (you can press...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    I mean, if you happen to know the cutoff voltage and efficiency rating of your particular device (are they published? Very few are) then by all means go ahead and use that. Otherwise, 3.0v is a pretty standard rule-of-thumb for "voltage under load at cutoff," which is the value that's...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    That would be the one, going by @Mooch's recommendations. 30A discharge rating should let you use 180W all the way to dead. Of course, that won't be very long, with only 1500mAh per cell (1500mAh * 3.7v = 5550mWh or 5.55 watt-hours, per cell. 11.1 watt-hours total, at 180 watts, gives about...

    Question so I don't blow up my face

    Why? VTC5A = 25 amp CDR = 75 watts per battery. Series/parallel doesn't make much difference in a regulated setup. With 2x VTC5A, you can go up to 150W. That may be okay on a full charge (180W / 8V = 22.5A) but as you get near cutoff voltage (roughly 3v per battery) you're drawing closer to...

    E liquid Formula development

    You might should make a smaller batch first, to see how you'll like it. Are you using nicotine? Even if you aren't, that's an awful lot of flavor concentrate to pour down the drain if you end up not liking it. Could turn out to be a pretty costly experiment. Yeah that one is strong. I made...
