    Real quick about SS on NON-TC WV

    To reach a temperature which is dangerous enough to release dangerous fumes you would have to be inhaling across red hot glowing coils as they "popped" at over 2000°F. Essentially, You're not able to ever reach that temperature during usage even during a dry hit, which is one of the many...

    is this real SS wire?

    That's a great price on a different alloy than I've had experience with, I may pick that up just to muck around with. Most of the 304 wire I buy is purchased by the pound so my sources for smaller quantities is a bit lacking. Great link!

    is this real SS wire?

    You can search a whole bunch of industrial supply SS wire here: Stainless Steel Wire | MSCDirect.com This other option has higher prices, but it's still a good source for small purchases of 304 round wire in a few specific sizes. Stainless Steel Wire : ElectronTubeStore.com, Raw Materials and...

    Would you date a smoker now that you vape?

    My gut reaction is to say "no I wouldn't" however that gut reaction made me take a step back and realize that if my Wife had been of the same mindset as me then we would have never started dating because I was a smoker at the time we met and I continued to smoke for over 10 years after that even...

    room setup for vape tricks

    You've got to adjust the technique for stronger O's, I blow O's out my car window sometimes at traffic lights that will last for a few seconds in the breeze so I believe ambient air has little to nothing to do with it, I've also seen more than a few videos of outdoors tricks done that are more...

    is this real SS wire?

    Whoever told you it was 304 is incorrect(I'm assuming you read that it was type 304 on Amazon...), Beadalon states clearly right on their own site that all of their stainless steel type wire is 316L Beadalon - Stainless Steel Wrapping Wire Honestly if you're getting conflicting information on...

    Hot Spots with SS wire

    316L should be fairly straight forward, what I think is happening is you're simply not getting the wire hot enough. Torching the wire before you build a coil may be all you need to do, however if there are still hot spots then slowly pulse the fire button until you are able to get most of the...

    Copper 510 Replacement Screws?

    Gotcha. You're probably correct that it stemmed from slight variations in manufacturing tolerances, I've experienced that myself. Since I only use direct to battery style mods what I've done recently after a trip to the hobby shop was pick up some small copper tubing and some needle files so I...

    Hot Spots with SS wire

    The reason that Kanthal coils don't have as much of a tendency to arc between wraps or "hot spot" is because the first time Kanthal gets hot it forms an aluminum oxide layer on the surface which insulates the wraps from one another which helps with taming hot spots, when you start to taste a...

    Copper 510 Replacement Screws?

    So the longer screw solves what problem if you don't mind me asking? Are you simply trying to have the positive copper connection extend further from the base or does the screw get pushed in to the insulator over time?

    RDA Kennedy RDA

    I responded where you asked here: How to verify Authentic Kennedy? That's an easily spotted cheap clone, one of the cheapest Kennedy clones available in fact. That drip tip is a dead give away, as is the over sized Kennedy written in the wrong font. I can virtually assure you the deck has...

    Lowest Battery Usage Limit

    You'll be fine running them down to 3.6V or even lower honestly, I've run my Samsung 25R's down to cut-off voltage dozens of times(which is around 2.7-2.9V) and they don't seem to mind. Batteries are cheap insurance to me, due to the quantity I purchase and good pricing I pay less than $5 per...

    "The emperor is naked !!!! "

    Time is a terrible marker to try to gauge vape usage or life by, what should really be the marker is amount of juice vaped IMO as this will more accurately translate from person to person regardless of vaping style or how many days go by, the amount of juice vaped off one battery charge should...

    Did I buy real Sony VTC5?

    The VTC5 is only a 20A battery to begin with, while you can run it over 20A in short bursts you'll be taking a calculated risk in doing so.

    This is why many here disapprove of generic/mystery batteries.

    I sort of knew this was going to happen or at least I saw it coming, after the initial wave of those "personal mobility platforms" hit the market I started seeing videos on Youtube with people showing the internals of a few models. Knowing that eventually some sub-par batteries and wiring would...

    Hybrid Mech Mods Info and Safe Usage

    Honestly a lot of the issues I think is the confusion factor, which a lot of seems to come from differentiating a Hybrid from a Direct to battery style, I believe there should be a standardized way of referring to them so as not to confuse them between one another as they each do have their own...

    Beadalon SS Wire

    You're more than welcome to do or not do whatever you like, if you feel that it's worth it to grossly overpay for a small spool of wire with unknown origins then nobody is going to stop you. Personally I prefer to get wire from known good sources with pricing for standard wire and not inflated...

    Vaping safety: Do you worry about carcinogens?

    After sucking on cigarettes for over a decade which I knew for a fact contained 43 known identified carcinogens I worry not one little bit about my vape or vapor. Some of my coils and gunky wicks would probably make you sick looking at them if I'm entirely honest. For what it's worth, I've...

    battery explosion, what happened?

    I would call in to question what caused the battery wrapper to become damaged because if it was from striking an object or dropping this can cause unseen internal changes which could cause all sorts of things to happen from the battery simply no longer working to exploding.
