    Lemo Chimney Threads

    This. Grip them lightly enough that the parts actually slip in your fingers as you try to loosen them. To much pressure distorts the chimney base making the problem worse.

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    Yes, you could do that, but you still couldn't place each coil directly over an air hole. At least, not and have the lead lengths be even. I thought about maybe trying to mount two coils with each coil having a long lead on opposite sides so that the coils would criss-cross, one on top of...

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    A little update for those interested.... With the Mini Buddha having dual air holes without a reasonable possibility of mounting dual coils, I decided a spaced coil might perform better flavor wise. So I wrapped a 1.1Ω spaced coil using 27ga (for my iStick). IMO, the flavor was improved. I...

    "Subohm" tanks are absolutely overhyped peaces of grabage

    Why would you order a Subtank Mini if you think Kanger and all "sub ohm" tanks suck? You have zero credibility. Best of luck to you.

    Safe Link Mechanical Mod Safety Device Prevents Over Fire Finds Short, Volt Drop??

    That's pretty cool, but it ruins the simplicity of a mechanical for me. And if you're using a mechanical, you should already have all the tools in your arsenal to provide the information this device does.

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    Must be 17, I guess. I got it from Focal. Seems like more then 1mm overhang though. EDIT: Just checked Focal, and all of their Nemi's are 17mm.

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    Currently running it at 18 Watts and the vape is comfortably warm, but not hot. That's going to depend a lot on the build and wattage applied.

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    The included drip tip is nice, but a little long for my taste. So here's a pic with my favorite shorty drip tip:

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    I received my "Big Buddha Mini" from Vivid Smoke today. The quality of the piece is very nice and it is well machined. Mine arrived clean, so I built it straight out of the box. I bought mine for use on the 20W iStick, and it's fits darn near perfectly, with only an almost unnoticeable...

    Slightly miffed.

    I don't put a lot of weight on the advice of random gas station clerks when it comes to lifestyle choices. But hey, that's just me.

    Low vapor output from istick 50w

    Could be a connection issue with the atomizer. What resistance value is the 50W iStick reading with your Nautilus attached? Defects do happen, but we have two 50W iSticks in the house that have been rock solid. My wife is the manager of a local vape shop where they did recently have a...

    EHPro Mini Buddha

    The 20 Watt Istick is what I thought of when I first saw it too. I'm expecting mine from Vivid Smoke tomorrow.

    need recommendation

    I did order one from Vividsmoke last night, and supposedly it shipped today. Coming from California, I'd expect it by Thursday or Friday. I will post up some build pics and a pic of it on my 20W iStick in a new thread after I get it this weekend. Strangely, I'm kind of excited about...

    need recommendation

    The Mini Buddha must have just been released. Some interesting things to note about it: It's 18mm and it has a 2.5ml capacity, so it's smallish. Adjustable airflow, so mouth to lung shouldn't be a problem, and it looks pretty easy to build. I have the EHPro "Big Buddha" and I can say...

    Eleaf Lemo II

    Draining it for repair is exactly my concern with the Lemo 2. On the original, it's not problem at all to save the liquid. I use a plastic tip syringe to suck it all out, then squeeze it back in after re-assembling. This one will be harder to drain without waste. That being said, I'm still...

    Albuterol and vaping with pg

    I have asthma and vaping is the best thing that's happened to me since I picked up my first cigarette 26 years ago. My lung function is returning and my dependency on medications is nearly gone. I've gone from using albuterol several times a day to not at all, and only occasionally use Dulera...

    The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

    What is your coil diameter, and what gauge wire are you using? Keep it over 2mm. 2.5mm works wonderfully. If your coil is already this size, then wicking density could be the issue. The cotton should fit snuggly through the coil without distorting it as you pull it through. Using a 2.5mm...
