    how to find the right balance with vaping.

    If your getting a bad TH throat hit then either your nic level is to high or your wattage is to high. It's possible it's the PG but PG allergy usually causes a congestion or respiratory issue not pain.

    Getting a petina on my copper mod

    Don't recommend it. They don't last unless you use clear powder coat on top. Also if you mess up you can screw up your threads. Having warned you you can Google ammonia patina. It is a combo of Ammonia and baking soda. That will be some shade of green to blue. There is another that uses...

    Parallel and Series difference for box mods

    With batteries in parallel the highest voltage will be 4.2 volts and you double the mah rating. With them in series the voltage is doubled 8.4 volts. One disadvantage to series is that you end up with one mod that you have to use a different resistance on the atty. On both of these the...

    Help - I got battery acid on my new RDA and it corroded

    A pic would help. With out knowing what is corroded we'd be making a WAG. You need to provide more info on the threads here as you can't answer our questions so you need to put all the info in the first post.

    Looking to get started with dripping.

    Actually I would recommend going with a regulated mod. You get more options and they are a tad bit safer. Would get one that lets you go to at least .5 ohms and 30 watts minimum and 60 watts if you can afford it. On the atty I'd go with either a Tobh or Mutation x. I can almost guarantee...

    What is my next step to lower coil resistance and protected mods

    Unless you plan on delving into RDA's/Drippers. Going past 30 watts is pointless IMO. I have yet to find a tank that can keep with juice flow past 20 watts. I'm not a big fan of the DNA mods specifically the Chana/knockoffs. I had to repair mine the first month I had it. I am partial to...

    *help here* I bought these gauges of kanthal 20, 26, 28, 29(never should have bought this last one)

    Ok your going to have to listen to my soap box speech. Made a promise that when I saw someone new to rebuilding I'd do this. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF OHMS LAW AND BATTERY SAFETY. Ohms law is important and ties in with battery safety. If you mess up and exceed the...

    Build recommendations for gi2

    Love the display on them. That mod will not go below .4 ohms. So what I would do go with your best dripper quad coils so 7-8 turns of 28 ga a1 kanthal 3mm dia wraps should give you that. IMO I prefer vertical coils. Use Japanese cotton if you can get it. Last longer than rayon an is...

    Aspire bvc coils bad taste OVER and OVER again...

    #1 Vapors tongue, #2 Wattage too high, #3 bad juice, #4 the Vapers gremlins Urinate in your tanks at night, #5 Lastly possible psychological factor you expect it to happen and so it does. No possible way for us to know why you alone have these issues with so many atty's but the more I think...

    Ohm Reader problems - different to no readings

    You'd need a good meter not one of those screw on testers to work good at that low a level. As a doctor once told me about my hearing and shooting hobby with out hearing protection " your climbing fools mountain if you keep doing that". At that level you're going to eventually vent a...

    OMS LAW 101. Posting this to help out someone who asked me a question in a PM.

    It's easier to put in pictures hear than in a PM. Voltage is to electricity what pounds per sq inch is to water. Pressure. Ohms is resistance again with water the bigger the pipe or hose the less resistance Amps is volume as in gallons per hour in water. Here is a site to help if you go...

    Next RDA advice..

    Don't need to go to .2 ohms at least I don't. I am a former cigar inhaler so I can relate. I use one of 3 mods and this Atty. A 28mm Tobh with quad vertical coils, 3mm I.D. 7 wraps 28 ga a1 kanthal. Between .4-.5 ohms. Run my atty at between 28 to 35 watts depending on the mood I'm in...

    New Hades clone mod with TOBH V3 Atty

    Sorry if I came off tough but I would rather have you mad at me and not use it than to sugar coat it and have you ignore me and go vent a battery using that battery on a sub ohm build.

    New Hades clone mod with TOBH V3 Atty

    OK you are going to have to hear my soap box speech. In order to do rebuildables and Mechanical mods IT IS A MUST to have a working knowledge of OHMS law and battery safety. Firstly NEVER buy a battery with FIRE in the name. Historically they are pardon my french Junk especially the...

    Best new buy?

    OK when you post in the Vets area you need to pile on the info. You did not give us a budget which is a big factor and because you posted in the Vets area you can't answer that question. LOL I assume an M mod is a mechanical mod. So I will dip into the extreme top end at this point. I'd get...

    Looking to Purchase a RBA.... Need some advice

    Fist things first. If this is your first venture into Rebuildables then you need to do some homework. IT IS A MUST that you have a working knowledge of Ohms law and know battery safety. If you go sub ohm with a cheap mod and a Ultrafire battery yo are likely to have a bad day. Bad day is...

    Vamo as Ohms Reader?

    The Vamo does not make a great ohms or voltage checker. It is better to have a meter IMO. But for now just make sure and not go to close to the edge on that battery's amperage rating that way it won't matter if it's off a bit. Here is the one I use and it's pretty good I checked it with my...

    Best way to rapidly test/sample eliquid?

    Skip the Protank. If you get a Kanger get the Aerotanks. Best way to test juice is in a small RDA rebuildable drip atomizer. Just use a fresh wick each time. But before you go Rebuildable. YOU HAVE TO have a good working knowledge of Ohms law and battery safety. They also sell some 510...
