    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I think that is precisely why @mikepetro took it upon himself to conduct the study outlined in this thread. He was very clear that it was the thermal degradation of eliquid at various temperatures that was key, and he used modern equipment with Evolv's DNA boards set to Temperature Control (or...

    Suggestions for a DNA200 / DNA250 BF Squonk Mod?

    Thanks @Tmebs Just checked out a review of this one. I'm really not a fan of printed mods. The final results always look a bit cheap and tacky to me. There are some beautiful single battery Mech squonkers out there. It's a shame that they don't, by their very nature, do TC, and it's going...

    Suggestions for a DNA200 / DNA250 BF Squonk Mod?

    Thanks - I'll see if one turns up in a local B&M but it's probably unlikely if they are discontinued. I'm in Malaysia so often can't order from US websites due to their shipping policies and charges.

    Suggestions for a DNA200 / DNA250 BF Squonk Mod?

    Thanks, I'll look at some reviews of the GBOX 200 - the price is great, but the DNA TC is the only one I've been combined by so far. Still I'll see some reviews before making any decisions.

    Suggestions for a DNA200 / DNA250 BF Squonk Mod?

    Hi, I have been exclusively dripping for the last 6 months+ and think I'm ready to try a Squonk mod. My current goto mod is the Tirade DNA250, 3x 18650, and I can't bring myself to consider a single battery mod. I'm also vaping exclusively in TC mode these days. So what I'm really looking...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    Phew that was a long thread! I'm all caught up and I have to say it was a good read. Still loving my DotMod 22mm's and will probably pick up at least one more. Not much talk here regarding the DotMod 24mm single post? I held one in my local B&M and wasn't at all sure about it. I like to...

    Batteries/Wattage

    I'm not going to single anyone out, but I think it's a real shame that this thread has now digressed into semantics and pointless discussions regarding irrelevant aspects of physics that don't pertain to the OP's question. The simple and relevant fact is that when using a regulated mod you...

    RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

    @Sed8op8 I'm loving this thread. Spent my first 2 years of vaping on RTA'S. Nautilus mini (poor but got me of stinkies) Kayfun v4 (wonderfully over engineered but a fail on airflow and wicking) UD Goblin Mini (fantastic flavour - juice everywhere 24 watts limit) UD Bellus (big tank, big...

    OK. I'm on page 100. 260 more pages to go. I'm learning a lot about the flavour RDA history 2015 onwards. I'll comment more when I've caught up.

    Wick experiment

    Hi @MortenOen I have now tried a few new RDA builds using significantly more cotton than I am used to. Previously I have been putting the cotton in so that it has just a little resistance from the coil. In my latest builds I really stuffed a lot more cotton in. The results are interesting...

    Batteries/Wattage

    This discussion is regarding use of regulated Mods and the calculator you have linked to is completely incorrect for regulated mods. A regulated mod cannot see the coil and therefore the resistance of the coil is not a factor when looking at amp draw.

    Batteries/Wattage

    On a regulated mod it doesn't matter how low your build is in terms of resistance (Ohms) as the battery can't see the coil. Your only concern is the amps you are asking your batteries to supply. Amps = Power (watts) / Volts Your batteries are 3.7v nominal, but you need to calculate for the...

    Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?

    I'll agree that SS works best for me in TC. I'm getting best results with dual coils on my RDA ohming out at 0.14 Ohms. Although you'll need a mod capable of pushing 100watts for this build. I'm using a DNA250.

    The Drop Rda

    Having watched all five videos and read the early comments in this thread I'm seriously considering getting one of these. A couple of quick questions for those of you that have the Drop already. 1) I see that the posts are really tall, and due to the design it's natural to have the coils above...

    how often do you take a hit(s)?

    8 to 15 hits spaced every 8 seconds : two hours break : repeat I vape like I used to smoke - so if drinking this turns into 8 to 15 hits spaced every 8 seconds : 4 minute break : repeat But I only avarage 8hrs of drinking time per month these days - so really it's the top line.

    Things are about to get real...

    Never used a Mech but I'm going to pipe up anyway: test the Ohms with the top cap on. Lost count of the times my new coil has shorted against the side of the top cap - never mattered as I use regulated, but sure that's what would get me if I switched to Mechs.
