    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Whoever said about the mechanicals having efficiency problems is right, and I am an engineer. It's the CONTACTS, baby. If you want to check it out, take some 90+% alcohol, isopropyl or ethanol or whatever, and some q-tips, and thoroughly scrub the battery ends, the contact plate in the XL, the...

    who says that VMOD XL is the best bottom feeder on the earth ?

    There was a kid on Youtube who was telling people they could double their internet connection speed by taping a wire to their ethernet cable, and throwing up equations to "prove it". He said that's how the Monster cable works ("and tape the ends so no energy escapes!"). Pretty hilarious. These...

    WTF? Donut man! They look like venetian glass. Stands to reason they would solve the juice in mouth problem that still sometimes plagues me. But I'm afraid I'd bite them. I just finished chewing through a delrin driptip, and you know how tough those are! Where do you get them? Do they come in...

    who says that VMOD XL is the best bottom feeder on the earth ?

    I'm at 14 weeks on my HH357. It needs to oxidize and develop a "crust" around the coil to really work well, that makes a sort of integrated ceramic. Before it breaks in it's spitty and uneven. It's also hard to feed smoothly. After the break-in you will find it gets into "hiss" mode where it...

    BTW, I don't think a cotton wick is a good idea. If it gets a little dry it burns giving off nasty smoke. Silica is inert, cannot burn.

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    The Vmod and the EMDCC/eGoBatt combo are the only PVs that I find can be ignored. You know, just used, not thinking or tinkering or winking or sinking, just doh, vaping.

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    It's weird how all them atties up and start spittin'. What i've found works best is to make sure the coil is soaked and saturated, and set the whole enchlada aside (switch to another PV). Come back to it later in the day, and it's no longer spittin' like it was. @Sy, sorry to see ya go. I can't...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Have you tried heavy drinking? It's been prescribed in Russia for centuries. They used to have a paid position for people whose job it was to go out on winter nights and drag the rigid drunks off the frozen roadways into alleys and such.

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    @Kat I'm with you on the Brussels sprouts with bacon, and garlic. @synnuh, the IO6 is a 306 type atty. They have no tube. So you need a different type drip tip, one that goes around the atty instead of in the atty. But most of them are made o' plastic, thick walls. They don't fit too loose...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    @Andy, ja, they don't much do metall like in the gut old V1 days no mo'! Beautiful work! I do wonder how well it feeds unless you use light PG juice. And was ist the matter mit you? You don't like Deutsche musik? Und was ist "der resetter?" you apply it across the charging contact. What does it do?

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Assuming the battery doesn't restrict airflow, and I'd rather it didn't, and if we can agree the vmod is just a fancy battery, with a bottom feed, then it's all up to the atomizer, isn't it? So don't blame the messenger, find yourself the atomizer you crave. If you like a tight draw, the IKV...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Cartos work fine in the VMod. I use Boges and Resurrectors on occasion, it's a change. The Boges gum up in a couple of days and lose that "freshness", but the Resurrectors last a little longer. Yeah, of course that German cat's work on the Genisis shows the crucial role of the "mesh". He...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    Just a note on 357 life. I just checked and this atty HAS been in constant use for 12 weeks. It had started spitting more and being capricious a couple of days ago. I took it off for rinsing under hot water tap, then soaked in 95% ethanol, then let it drip out and evaporate, then did a dry-burn...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    I just switched to an IKV 1.8 510 while I rinse my 357 and it's better in many respects, like the bridge prevents hot juice catapulting, the smaller chamber under the coil gives a steadier feed, there's even a slightly greater vapor quality to it, but the flavor unfortunately is significantly...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    The eGo twist goes up to 4.8 fer sure. The 650 mah version is $21 so that's the one to butcher, same circuit. Beats paying for a kick only to have to wire it up too! Haven't seen the inside of the eGo unit yet as I'm not going to butcher my 1000 mah ones ;-) The way to mount it I think would be...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    @opsy make sure you have a charger for them. The one from vapingzone is the only one I know of that indicates by LED change to green when the battery is charged. You guess with the others. They are a stack of 4 1.2v cells in a plastic casing. You cannot charge them in 3.7v chargers. "Safely"...

    The Vmod XL 18650 Bottom Feeding Mod from Vapage - Part 2

    I have a lot of 18650s, and the longest vape at 1.5 ohms for me is the AW protected 2600 mah. I have not tried the higher mah AWs because someone published actual curves at 2 or 2.5 amps (I forget) and the 2600 gave by far the longest and flattest curve, no idea why. The 3000 e.g. had a slightly...

    New Super Concentrated Flavors - Part 2

    I don't have anything to say except I still love Honey Flue Cured Tobacco the best, but I need a post so this new thread is in my "my posts" dropdown. Thank you for sharing ;-) Aw, gawd, I'm reading about more flavors, get the Visa out ....

    Looking for a high quality tank for my Provari!

    I use these on my provari Dual Coil 510 Chrome Tank Cartomizer With the chrome eGo cone for dual coil tank yaddayadda that they offer. eGo Chrome Cone for the 5 mL Dual Coil Tank Cartomizer They are like an inverse cone and make it so the tank is very stable on the provari. The only thing to go...

    FA Bread Crust: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

    There's a peculiar effect I call flavor cancellation. Some flavors devour each other. The Perfumers Apprentice "Crust" does that too, but many others do as well. Banana flavors for instance are very tricky. FA "Cookie" I think has some bread crust type in it, as it too tends to easily turn...
