    Sub Ohm/Mech Mod/RDA Queries

    mech mods are simple and reliable and with low power tanks they can give better flavor.when I use my protank on my segelei 50 watt mod or 15 watt kick I get a slight burnt taste and muted flavor. with my gs-h5led tank the led actually flashes on my 15 watt kick. these use the coils as an...

    Sub Ohm/Mech Mod/RDA Queries

    with requlated mods you need to add 10% to your resitance requirements for circuit losses and a mod does not know what battery you are using and does not monitor battery temprature so yes it can push a battery beyond it maximum safe operating current. you need to use good high current batteries...

    Sub Ohm/Mech Mod/RDA Queries

    mods are available that take 2 or 3 batteries in parallel to handle those higher power levels and you can find plenty of videos on you tube on how to build coils but you need to learn to walk before you can run and what your looking into can be very dangerous if you are not an experienced well...

    Truth About Vaping and Why They Hate Us

    actually it's both they want the money and they need to hate and tear down someone else to feel good about themselves. fortunately the doctors are beginning to see the truth about vaping and are sending their patients to vape shops to help them quit smoking :banana:

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    sometimes the keys on my laptop stick it should read 8.4 volts

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    the processor only test for battery voltage not battery temperature or internal resistance. it will not fire at resistance that too low for the controller but does not protect the battery. even with a regulated mod you need to use good batteries from a reputable source and monitor your battery...

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    in theory thats correct but very few batteries can handle over 20 amps and as they age the capacity goes down.many suppliers sell re wrapped batteries and exaggerate their ratings. to be safe you should limit that to 12-15 amps with new, high power batteries like Samsung 25Rs especially if you...

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    our converters use an inductor to boost or buck voltage and a capacitor to smooth the output. this is common in switch mode power supplies. capacitive voltage multipliers are very inefficient and only used for low power or high voltage low current circuits. this is trivia that is not needed for...

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    I hate to nit pick but in the converter the energy is stored in an inductor not a capacitor. a small capacitor is used on the output to average out the voltage spikes.sorry but my EE training at the university make me cringe at these kind of errors.and being a grumpy old man I had to correct it:lol:

    Confusion with voltage output for box mods

    that is true for a mechanical mod and under load the voltage is lower than that but a regulated mod is able to boost voltage. my regulated mod will go up to 84 volts on a single battery I think you should learn more about mods and batteries before you try building coils that low or vaping at...

    Recently changing to a decent way of vaping

    welcome to ECF. the subtank is an excellent choice for learning how to build coils on. the rba deck has plenty of room to work with and the mounting screws are easy to attach wires to.you will find many here who are willing to answer your questions and give you any help we can

    kbox mini rba help

    I have 4 sub tanks with rba decks I wind my coils 3mm in diameter and use rayon wicks. I make my wick snug thru the coil then but the sleeve on and pack the wick into the sleeve like on the kayfuns.have no problems with dry hits and only replace my wicks and burn my coils to clean them once...

    Lungs filling to fast?

    it would not hurt to try that or you could drop a higher resistance coil in there. low vapor production can be cause by a cool coil. when I tried a 0.5 ohm factory coil in my subtank I had to push it up to 20 watts to get decient vapor production but with 1.5 ohm coils in an rba deck on the same...

    Sexism in vaping? What do girls not build coils?

    I walked into a local vape shop to look around and while I was there a group of young men walked in ans asked the store owner to rewick their RDAs. could not help laughing. if you can build coils your one up on these young men:lol:

    Lungs filling to fast?

    the atlantis 2 is available with 3 different coils .3 .5 and 1.0 ohm coils. the original only had 0.5 ohm coils. lower resistance coils need more power to get hot enough to produce large amounts of vapor.

    Brand new to vaping

    welcome to ECF if you are getting droplet of e-juice thru the mouthpiece it's likely your coil. they are cheap and easy to replace I started with a similar set-up 14 month ago and have been tobacco free since then good luck and know that every one here is pulling for you and would be happy to...

    The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

    fortunately I have my old reliable mechanical mods for back up. old technology seems to like us old geezers.I can't go back to smoking. vaping has ruined tobacco for me. don't even like the smell of a good pipe and I use to love pipe tobacco.even ordered a new mech box mod today $11.81 Box Style...
