    My Coil Paradox M2 0.15

    I have to agree with brother bob though... I would buy a dripper first to practice coil making. Not to say that you'll use it all the time, but it's good to test juice, practice coil making, and something to vape on while rebuilding your tank. After you have the coil building down, and can...

    Having issues with smok 350

    The best suggestion I can think, is to take your unit to a vape shop and have them take a look at it and give advice. Without seeing/hearing the device, there's no way to accurately say what is wrong. It's probably better to take it to a different company and have them take a look at it as...

    Having issues with smok 350

    So many questions with this post. Smok is a fairly trusted brand. They've become one of the main name brands around the vaping industry, and I doubt they would put out a defective design. But alarm bells ring when you mention batteries getting so hot they "melt". My first suspect would be...

    My Coil Paradox M2 0.15

    I would still practice and attempt to use an RTA. There are some advantages, besides being cheaper, to an RTA setup over a prebuilt coil. For one, you can tailor your build to suit the juice. I make my own juice, and I ran out of VG. I made a batch that was high PG based until my shipment of...

    My Coil Paradox M2 0.15

    answer: 1: I would have to say the answer is yes. However, to get your exact vape, you'll need to tweak, and keep tweaking some more until you get something you like. If you're running a 0.15 coil at 40W, then you're not putting much power to the coils. That's 2.4 volts going through the...

    Newbie after advice about almost everyting (mostly Mod advice)

    I've fallen in love with my Eleaf Aster 75W. It's become my main unit. It's small, and lightweight, which means it's good for pocketing. I do have one mod that's smaller (cloupor mini+ 50w), but it's not as reliable as the Aster. As far as the OP's question, tank leakages are one of the...

    70vg vs 80vg

    It could be. A harsh hit is caused by many different factors. Usually %10 extra VG is not a radical change, and certainly not enough to do the opposite, which is add throat hit. The only guesses I would have, are: 1) this batch is different than the last. Even if it's the same flavor...

    eleaf istick lifespan

    Sounds like a good plan. Now it's time to get a replacement. for an old mod, you're probably right. If you have the tools and know-how already, it might be, since you could technically upgrade it with a better battery.

    eleaf istick lifespan

    Like with all lithium ion batteries, they only have a limited lifespan. The battery capacity will slowly go down over time. I'm sure after years of continual use, that battery is quite diminished. The two options are to either chuck it and buy a new one, or if you want to put a new one in...

    New member long time vaper. Need help with capella

    I can imagine. I just got three different flavors myself, and will make a new batch in about a week. LorAnn's tropical punch and bubble gum, and The Flavor Apprentice Berry crunch. I have a sneaky suspicion that LorAnn's will need quite a bit of airing, since they're geared more towards...

    New member long time vaper. Need help with capella

    Ok... let me know how it turns out. If you really wanted to see if it's airing, put about 3ml in a small flat like container, like on a dish. Give it more surface area to air out. If the small batch tastes better than the other part,t hen perhaps it just needs more time.

    I have been vaping six months and i have no idea what just happened to my beloved setup....

    If any mod auto-fires like that, I wouldn't trust it again... ever. It only takes one time for it to auto-fire in a car, or somewhere else you don't want it to auto-fire. Since the ijoy is a regulated mod, the only thing I can think of, is either the button is stuck due to debris (always clean...

    New member long time vaper. Need help with capella

    I would air it out a bit more. Perhaps the flavor you use needs a bit more airing out. Also, many times the juices need to steep as well. Steeping is just letting it sit on a shelf at room temperature for a few days. Usually, I recommend for new users to get several smaller samples of...

    New member long time vaper. Need help with capella

    Have you tried airing it out? Sometimes after mixing, you need to leave the cap off the bottle for a day. Usually, when I get a chemical taste, I just simply leave the top off the bottle and let it air. As far as flavors go, I usually use Capella's vanilla custard as an additive. Usually I...

    Broke Dick

    As far as steeping goes.... Since I've been DIYing my own juice, I've realized... not all flavors need to be steeped. Depending on the manufacturer and flavor of the flavoring, some taste good straight out of mixing, while others need to be steeped for a month. I've noticed that tobacco...

    Hi from Thomas, the choice Kiwi

    I seemed to have fell in the middle as well. The Taifun GTII is my favorite single coil tank, but I seem to like the dual coil Goblin series. .7 ohms (two 1.4 ohm coils), high VG blend (I DIY my juice), running around 30 watts. I have about 4 GTII clones from Fasttech, but I have seemed to be...

    My mechanical mod vibrates, please help.

    I was just about to reply something along those lines. :) An amp limit is something that should be regarded as a personal barrier. Mechanical mods do not limit anything, therefore the power used is what the user is demanding, no warnings, no safeties. Now, you can go as safe as the battery...

    My mechanical mod vibrates, please help.

    I have no idea what would be vibrating in a mechanical mod, clone or no clone. What I do know, is if any mechanical mod "vibrates", it's not a good sign. There are tonnes of questions that have to be answered first before we can figure out anything... What we know: mechanical mod, Sony VTC6...

    The next big thing

    Well, as far as basic principal goes, there's not much else that can be said for improving something that already works. Vaping has already advanced pretty far and in such a short amount of time that there's not much else that can be improved upon. Let's take a look back at how things...
