    Anyone get nic-sick from sub ohming?

    I recently moved over to sub-ohming, and am now mainly using dual coil RTA's at between 0.7-0.4ohms, kanthal builds. I went from tootlepuffing at 10-13w, to sub-ohming at 25-40w, but kept using the same 12mg juice. My daily consumption has risen from an average of 4ml to 5ml per day, so not...

    Fountain V2 Bottom Feeder: Squonk your Atty, not your Mod!

    My Fountain v2's arrived yesterday, after cracking the glass in one, I built the other two with dual coils at 0.65ohms. Nice flavour and vapour at 35w, and the squonking works well and is good fun :) Thanks for the tip @TheWestPole

    Friday Vape Mail!

    Built both of my remaining. Fountain v2 RSA's 28g, 2.5mm ID, 7wraps, Dual Coil, 0.65ohms. The squonk mechanism works great, they are easy to build on, and produce surprisingly good vapour and flavour at 35w. Very happy :) These will go nicely into my modest collection After 6 months of...

    Friday Vape Mail!

    Yeh the prebuilt coil does seem to taste a bit off. Not sure I blame FastTech though, as I believe the coil is part of the Lemo v2 packaging, and therefore provided by the manufacturer. That's iSmoka manufacturing o behalf o Eleaf. The tank in the Fountain v2 RSA is glass, with a plastic...

    Firing a coil below the recommended ohms

    Yes, don't worry, a few milliseconds won't have effected your battery. You are fine to continue once you put a .3ohm+ coil back in.

    Firing a coil below the recommended ohms

    If you want to be safe you should check the resistance on a meter. I'd also suggest adjusting the coil to see if you can get it back to the .3ohm's. I you checked the build on steamEngine and it's supposed to come out at .3ohm, try squeezing the coil gently with a ceramic tweeser, or brushing a...

    Friday Vape Mail!

    I went ahead with the pre-built, vapes fine, but not to impressed with the flavour. I may have been spoilt by my Goblin Mini. I'll try it again with my own coils and different airflow settings, over the next few days. Exactly 20 days from order to delivery. FastTech to Malaysia.

    Friday Vape Mail!

    Turned out to be a good Friday, my vape mail arrived from FastTech! A Lemo v2 RTA and three Fountain v2 RSA's :banana: Gave them all a bath to remove the machine oil, and now ready to start building! The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that one of the Fountain's is in pieces...

    Setup suggestions.

    I'd suggest a Subox Mini Starter kit. Comes with a 50w Subox and the Subtank Mini. It is VV/VW an has all the modern protection circuitry, is powerful enough to provide good vapour, and is not very expensive. I'd suggest you start off on 6mg juice and see how you go. You could get the whole...

    Reaching the Limit?

    Thanks @edyle Logic told me it' fine, but having never taken the VF over 30w, I felt I might be pushing it too hard. Using a matched pair of HE4's that are less than a month old. So should be fine. Just wanted a second opinion :)

    Reaching the Limit?

    I was playing around this evening, and built a dual coil, 30g, parallel (not twisted), 7 wraps, 2.5mm ID, 0.46ohm setup in my Goblin Mini. It's very power hungry and just started to hit nicely at 37w. I'm thinking of taking it up to the limit of my Vapor Flask DNA40 and running it at 40w...

    Some Thoughts On Unflavoured

    Yes I agree the vapour is less dense, but I find I get more of it (if that makes sense). Do bear in mind that I have a fair amount of PG in my blends, so this could be the difference. I'm using 100mg nic base in PG from RTS Vapes.

    Well I finally pulled the trigger

    Good luck with your DIY adventure. I wouldn't worry too much about storage condition for your sample set. I'd imagine you'll use it all up before it goes bad. The PG, VG and flavourings really don't need special storage. To keep nic base at it's best most recommend keeping it in the freezer...

    Nic-ups

    Ha ha, I never got hiccups before I vaped, now I get them about once a fortnight. They only last a couple of minutes so I don't worry about them. I'm vaping unflavoured so it's not the flavourings, I thought it could be the VG, but I really don't know. Funny to hear this is 'a thing'. Like...

    Emergency fix for connection problems with the Crown tank... YES!

    You own an oil rig! I'm impressed :) Glad you solved the problem and having a second one should be no problem, always good to have backups.

    Vapor Flask

    I have to say that I love the rugged functional design of the old slotted battery caps, and am not kean on the look of the tooless ones. If I could go to the shops tomorrow and buy another original VF DNA40 I would, but the arn't in stock anymore here in Malaysia. I asked my local store to...

    Goblin Mini RTA review.

    I'm running 12mg juice through my GM, so find 25w about my limit when I want good vapour and a big nic hit (great for vape breaks during work). I find if I take it down to 19.5w I get a nice easy vape that I can hit all day, similar to tootlepuffing on a Kayfun. For me this flexibility is a...
