    Show Us Your PV/APV! Girly, Manly does it really make a Difference?

    It's really nice in 350 mode with a short dripper. I have a DRA XL on it now with a SS flanged barrel tip on top, today my brother told me it looks like a canon, lol. I'm holding off on the pics of the dra till I get my PAPS 18350. Gotta love affordable mods!

    Anyone notice mood/mental health changes since switching?

    When I started I was chain vaping 16mg. I have dips in my mood and like to worry about things I can't do anything about, and at the time was getting ...... off at work for no reason, thinking about the past and future in pessimistic ways. More than I want to share about myself, but anyway.. when...

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    That's pretty much why I bought it too. I'm glad the nimbus was out of stock when I found it, although I doubt I could pull the trigger for that price. The very next dripper I found was the DRA XL. I'm pretty happy with it now that I have it set up right. I only plan to use the swing arm for...

    I'm sure he's talking about the negative battery post that slides through the plastic separator.

    tight chest feeling

    Some of those symptoms happen to me if I chain at 1ohm or less, trying to stay at 1.3-5 now. Did your coils/ wicks change?

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    I have 30 guage set at 1.5 ohms now (full arm extension) and it drops to 1.3 with about a 45 degree swing. After that my coil starts bunching. Next coil I do will be tight with the arms as close as they go, and I'll be able to move the hole closer to that side, now. I'd love to do some damage...

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    How about tinning the threads with a layer of of solder, then soldering the pins together? Or if you have some thin kanthal or stranded wire, stick a few strands straight into the hole before you screw them together.

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    I'm getting 0.2 difference in resistance when I adjust the arm. Found it shorting a couple times, still need to grind the corners off the arm. I think I need to cut my nic again, this thing is hitting like a BEAST.

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    I'm sure you could find a bolt to replace it if it doesn't tighten without the washer

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    Mine came that way, or perhaps I did it without knowing. When I left the washer out of the mix I was able to tighten them down. This allows the pin to drop out when you turn the mod upside down, but I think that makes disassembly easier.

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    Yes, there's a nut and lock washer which will loosen to let it swing freely, but you don't even have to loosen it to adjust, because as you probably know, a floating positive pin inside a silicone insulator doesn't provide much friction, anyway. So the nut and washer are kind of useless but they...

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    Well, I don't like the adjustment arm. You can't tighten it into position since its mounted to a floating center post. I have to make sure to tighten the positive screw first so it doesn't yank my coil apart when it swivels. I've been holding it over with my thumb while I tighten down to keep it...

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    Thanks, I like a slightly tight draw but I agree, that probably needs to be done. Good thing I didn't hand it to her with 1ohm on it, lol. She's lucky I went one wrap over on this big wick I'm trying out. One coil less and a drilled out hole should make this thing insane.

    Is using "a Kick" really necessary for mechanical mods

    Seems like people are giving their personal opinions and their own preference. I haven't seen anyone tell you what you should be doing.

    Is using "a Kick" really necessary for mechanical mods

    I see where you're coming from but want to correct your assumption about vaper chasers. I'm a flavor chaser, no doubt about it. I've been chasing it in one juice type for years, since my days of various replaceables. RBA's finally give me the flavor I want, every note in the juice. It's thick...

    Anyone tried the Phoenix DRA XL

    I just received my DRA XL, set it up with 28 and silica, 1.5ohms. Took a few drags, worried about the tight draw and hole placement. Works well, although I need some more time with it. I mainly wanted to come here to post my wife's review of it. I hand it over saying, "that's thicker wire so it...

    Terminator/Nautilus/Choddy/Oddy Clone Pics, Tip,Tricks and Quirks

    You would most likely tear your NR/resistance splices apart or just yank the whole thing out. Nothing in there is as solid as a coil screwed right onto two posts like a genesis or dripper.
