    How often should coils be changed out

    can't address stainless steal but with kenthal it's a good ideal to replace them when the resistance increases more to 15% but thats kind of an arbitrary figure.I replace my coils once every 2 month as kind of a preventive maintenance. but I run low power on my tanks ( 10 watts or less). the...

    Ego rda

    the smok rda is great for tasting new juices while mixing or for stealth vaping. I use 6 turns 30 awg kenthal 2.5 mm coil form (1.8 ohms) and drilled out the air hole to 3/32 and with a rayon wick on an 1100mah e-go battery its a fun, good tasting little rig.

    Max vg, no flavor

    I have not found that to be the case. my sub tanks give better flavor with a 1.5 ohm coil then with a 0.5 ohm coil.for me sub ohm tanks tend to mute subtle flavors. even on my RDAs I get better flavor with low power coils YMMV

    Max vg, no flavor

    by pen mod are you referring to a low power tank like an protank. evod. or gs-h2. many shops use these in their flavor bars and these low power tanks do give a different flavor than a sub-ohm tank

    Max vg, no flavor

    you just listed the only 2 reasons for using max VG.I DIY and tried 100% vg with increase flavoring added and found that it gave me a heavy feeling in my lungs. I use 50/50 PG/VG and get good flavor.many vape shops promote cloud chasing and carry a lot of high VG juice but for the average vaper...

    Thumb or Finger

    I don't think there is one right way to do it but I prefer using my trigger finger to fire a mod. from this thread I've learned that I've been mounting my TP wrong for a few decades now but I think I'll be a maverick and keep doing it the wrong way :lol:

    Maybe it's jus tme

    I think FB and youtube are filled with lonely young people just looking for a little attention and doing weird things to get it. technology is great but I think it has caused many people to lose basic social skills. what is normal to us old geezers like looking someone in the eye and talking...

    Rude vape shop employees

    we now have 4 vape shops in my area but only one that local doctors refer smokers to in order to help them quit smoking.it seems to me that a 3 cell 200 watt mod would be a little large and complicated for a new vapor.especially older folks who are just trying to quit smoking and have difficulty...

    Hello im a vapaholic.....

    people are different and it can take time to find what works best for an individual. I collected many tanks,mods and flavorings and have settled on a few but am still looking to see if anything is better. that is a part of any hobby and this may have started as a way to quit smoking but it has...

    Not that it happened, but how it happened

    I guess at some point in the chain of command managers stop thinking of employees as people and start thinking of them as production units with no "god given rights". except for an occasional quick stealth vape in the mens room I don't vape anywhere smoking is prohibited when other people are around

    My ejuice tastes like injection!

    I have 4 subtanks and never had to replace the orings to prevent leaks.they do need to be washed out when new and leaving the cap off your e-juice and letting it breath for a couple hours can get rid of any solvent taste from the flavoring. I do that with my DIY juice. some of the flavoring I...

    Twisted Coil

    a small electric drill or electric screwdriver and a pair of pliers work really well for making twisted coils. I recently started playing with them using 30 awg wire to make 1.4 ohm coils

    I know I'm not the only one

    I went thru this phase trying different mods,tanks and flavors but I found that I always kept coming back to the same setup and flavors. mixing juice takes very little time and I actually enjoy wicking and making coils but my wicks last 2 weeks and my coils last 2 month so I don't spend a lot of...
