    Newbie after advice about almost everyting (mostly Mod advice)

    I wouldn't normally recommend a non variable mod since it restricts your ability to customize the vape to your particular liking and to the juice you are using in it. The only problem with those stealth mods is that they won't fit larger tanks than 22mm which does limit what you can use with...

    Newbie with info overload

    It is suitable though your preferences may change what you next order. The vendor and you have obviously agreed that you will be mixing your juice. This isn't quite DIY but you should start trying to use a calculator for it. It will introduce you to mixing. My preference is E Liquid Recipes...

    Newbie after advice about almost everyting (mostly Mod advice)

    I'd suggest the Eleaf Aster a 75 watt mod a slight bit larger than a tube mod. It has full TC including SS. It is the lightest and smallest VW mod I have. My only complaint is that it tips over easily due to its small base size. You can get it from China for $20 or the US for $30.

    So excited to get started making my own e-juice

    Hi Kathy & welcome I think E Liquid Recipes is best, and not just for their recipes. Once you are signed up you can take a recipe and modify it the way you want it and save it to your recipes. You can load your flavors in and ask it what recipes you can make. You can search their recipes based...

    My tank is hott and not producing any smoke.:(

    Hi Bridget & welcome I am assuming you know what a dry hit is and haven't mentioned it because you are not getting one. It is bothering me a lot that you describe the tank as getting incredibly hot because no tank should get that way even after multiple vapes and no fiddling with airflow and...

    Newbie with info overload

    Hi Yoey & welcome You've only mentioned what mod you have but have failed to talk about your atomizer. A mod is just a fancy battery holder with some protection circuits and the ability to modify the power output. The real magic takes place in the atty (atomizer). If you already have one then...

    Hey- long time Vape head new DIY-er

    Hi again Bubble I mix up 10 ml because I find 5 ml too hard to mix accurately to especially with the lower % flavors. I started with popular recipes I was pretty sure I'd like. I didn't like them all by any means. Then I started doing 5 ml flavor comparisons with single flavors at 10%...

    Steeping different types of flavors

    Hi Bubble & welcome They say the fruit flavors need little or no time steeping and I'll say they don't seem to change much with time. The creams and bakery tastes are supposed to require more time for these flavors to advance and be noticeable. I would tend to agree based on my experiences. What...

    Tsunami mech firing problem

    Sounds as though somewhere in the circuit you aren't getting a good connection. Troubleshoot it from the battery back to the battery and specifically look for a connection that isn't tight and clean. There is normally a way to adjust the battery to atty connections in a mech mod.

    why less nicotine for sub ohm

    Length of your draw, size of your lungs, and frequency of your draws also make a big difference to nic absorption, its not just how you have your vape set up and what juice you've got in it but also how you use it.

    Hello and need help

    DJSvapour has good advice in his/her post. If you need more convincing....buy a mod with independant batteries or be prepared to toss it when the internal battery dies, which they all eventually do. If that's not enough....all the best mods have independant batteries. (that should do it for...

    What's going on?!

    Hi again Anna Love your response as I've been thinking the same thing about Kanger but was afraid to voice that opinion due to the number of folks that seem to like their products a lot. I have 2 Kanger vapes, both basically new because after getting them I was so unimpressed with their build...

    Batteries for Kangertech TopBox Mini & Eleaf iStick TC200W

    What Topwater said! You could start another post and label it something like "Best battery vendor in Aus?" to get the attention of the folks who could answer it.

    First building experience with the Maganus Cloud Blaster

    I think you ran into the reality that if you build to a low resistance and use a coil with a lot of metal in it then it will take a lot of power to get it up to temp. As you experienced the vape was getting better with the higher wattage. Anna is right you are trying to run before you walk...

    Should i start?

    Just go out and relax you say? What with no excuse?

    Wow!

    If you don't love it then I suggest you don't vape it. Go back to the cocoa flavor you liked and live with the gunking. There are things you can do to minimize the problem. First you can try to rinse the coil regularly and reuse it as this might result in some of the gunk being washed away...

    Best Smok vape setup

    I'll bet that would qualify as the most popular but far from the best. I haven't picked up either of my two BB's in a month. They really aren't that great for flavor at least not DIY. I think the BB works best with store bought juice since it usually needs a bit of muting to make it vapable.

    Wow!

    Hi again Anna Where I live the water is also untreated and I've never worried about it. Just rinse and blow dry and reuse. If you blow into the top of the coil while blocking the bottom with your fingers you can blow most of the water out of it through the side juice holes. It doesn't hurt to...

    Pico "problems"

    You will want to be careful not to open the cotton too much or it will leak.
