    Salt nic with .8 coil

    There's nothing magical about coils (or nic salts come to that) - they are designed to heat up when a current is passed through them. Anyone who states that a particuliar wire type, resistance or configuration of coil is 'designed' for salts is delusional. Considering most liquids today contain...

    Uwell Caliburn-Why did they choose Direct Voltage Output?

    Although 'constant voltage' should give a set voltage throughout the battery drain the reality is somewhat hit and miss. It really depends on what the 'constant voltage' is claimed to be - if it's over the actual battery voltage then, in my experience, it still drops off as the battery...

    advice needed for battery problems

    The description you gave (OP) is what i would expect to hear if the batteries were at fault. Genuine 25r's should be able to cope with the wattage and resistance you have quoted. The only way to be sure would be to try the batteries in another mod and see the results. Alternatively turn down the...

    "Exclusive" RDAs, Reviewers, and the hype

    Todd has no control over how a product is marketed. I think his response was the only sensible one he could give to your message. But...... Did he send the hankies and violin ?

    The dreaded popcorn again

    Another reason why vaping is better than smoking. I can't recall ever getting free snacks as a smoker. God bless humanity

    New proposed federal tax (user fees) on e-cigarettes

    Good grief... I propose additional taxes on shoelaces. The revenue generated from this tax will be used to combat the high levels of shoelace abuse currently being reported by myself. Or how about.... Due to the rise in children using mobile 'phones i propose a super-tax, the proceeds of which...

    Anyone Start Exercising After Quitting Cigarettes?

    Last Summer i ran an eight minute mile (a mile's my limit). Before i switched to vaping i averaged around 40 yards before breaking into a coughing fit. True story. :oops:

    Another news article

    We also (in the UK) fail to use words such as 'ilfitrates' to get our point across. We're lost. Lost. :(

    How much does nicotine affect juice flavour?

    This thread is a sign of the times in the UK. A lot of liquids are NOW sold with seperate nicotine shots but the reason behind it is nothing to do with taste... Commercial e-liquid has been sold in various strengths from 0MG to 36MG since the dawn of the e-cigarette and i strongly suspect that...

    What now?

    Flooded coil at low watts = little vapour production. Increase watts and airflow to vaporise excess liquid. Switch back if necessary once working well. Adjust airflow to suit your vaping style - you may be drawing on the device in such a way that you are pulling in more liquid than you are...

    How many years have you liked e-cigarettes?

    I guess around 2,000 days - or, for me, around 60,000 unsmoked cigarettes ago :shock:

    What do you hate about vaping?

    Hmmm, i was going to say the fact that all bottom air-flow atties will leak to some extent. BUT. Then i remembered the days when ash would drop everywhere, pulling skin off my lips when a ciggy stuck to them, burning my fingers when a ciggie would slip, being smelly.... So i guess i don't...

    I'm getting brown varnish build up on my teeth!

    Weird. The complete opposite of my experience. My dentist doesn't bother with the clean anymore and praises the cleanliness of my teeth since i stopped smoking. (yet another saving to add to the growing list) Now we all need to know what in tarnation you be vaping...

    AW IMR 18490 3.7v 1200mAh Batteries

    Yep. They're the ones i use ! Also - the only battery i have ever had a problem with was a..... wait for it...... Efest 18500. Self discharged down to 1 volt from 3.7v over the space of 10 days. Never again. Funny how a single experience can colour someone's attitude. :lol:

    AW IMR 18490 3.7v 1200mAh Batteries

    I can ony relate my personal experience which is - i have never had a problem with a TrustFire battery in any regulated mod. They work (cool) and charge (cool) fine giving a reliable 1000mAh of power.. Perhaps the fact that the way i vape means i never draw more than 6-7 Amps has a bearing on...

    AW IMR 18490 3.7v 1200mAh Batteries

    At the risk of being shot down in a blaze of righteous indignation..... I've been using TrustFire IMR 18500 1300mAh (realistically around 1000mAh) nipple top batteries for the last 4 years in my Provaris. They have been performing as well as AW batteries. They are freely available at Fast Tech...

    Hilarious theft

    I hope ECF doesn't run out of 'funny' emoticons before this thread dies (or gets locked)... I havn't laughed at a computer screen this much for ages. Bless you all. :thumbs:

    Exploding Vape?

    I've read the same comment in this thread that i've read in many previous threads in the past; 'using a battery at 30% over the CDR is not dangerous if you know what you're doing'.... and similar words of wisdom. What does that even mean ? So knowing it's dangerous makes it less dangerous ? It's...

    How long are your draws/pulls? How long between them?

    2-4 second draw @ 16w with 1.6ohm coil. Repeat every 10-15 seconds for 5-8 minutes. Rest for 30-60 minutes and repeat.
