    Could I blow my face off?

    Size and simplicity, it's under 80mm tall and has a grand total of five parts including the spring and circlip for the switch, it has three machined parts total. Less parts makes for less surface to surface contact area, which in turn equates to more voltage going to your coils and less being...

    Could I blow my face off?

    Because of all of the reports of careless people using the SMPL and having problems I feel that is causing you to be paranoid, so long as you understand how a direct to battery mod works and you make sure the positive pole protrudes at very least 1mm from the end of the threading you shouldn't...

    Show us your secret atomizer " must have" tools

    I find these to be of utmost importance, a "must have" if you will. After all without them most everything else in this thread gets infinitely harder to use. Kind of surprised it took this long for someone to post it. ;) :D

    New Kennedy 24mm Ruby Mod/RDA Combo

    You however cannot request the negative posts to be milled into the deck, as I requested. Was going to order two Ruby mods one in brass and one in copper until after many countless hours of searching I was able to ascertain that the negative posts are pressed in just as the Kennedy...

    Beadalon SS Wire

    SS can definitely be more delicate with a smaller gauge of wire, especially when first firing it during the initial heat up stages, you need to kind of pulse the current so it doesn't have a hot spot form and snap/pop the coil. Personally I use 22G so it has never been much of a problem, I do...

    Ever make a flavor you're afraid of?

    Be careful, I sort of did the same thing with coconut because I really like the flavor, one of my ADV's at the time used 1.5% Coconut Extra and I loved it...bumped it to 3% and it got even better so I decided to go big, 10%. Mistake, wow. Anything with coconut now makes me kind of...

    Stainless steel coils

    Depends on how I feel and the RDA I'm building on, I only use mechs so both spaced and contact coils have had immense success for me using SS wire.

    Stainless steel vaping

    1- Oh yes, it's entirely possible. 2- Magic (Is this a real question? Not sure I understand exactly what #2 is asking) 3- Sort of, you need to account for the temperature coefficient of different materials, so with Ti or Ni mode the temperature will be off what the display says, due to SS...

    Mechmods Then And Now

    Who cares? You should! Voltage drop at ANY resistance is nothing more than wasted voltage which means more stress on the battery and less battery life over the course of usage. Conductivity in regards to voltage drop should be something everyone cares about regardless of the resistances built...

    TI Wire can be used in anything? strange

    Stopped reading after "ohmage".

    Beadalon SS Wire

    While I have looked at it in the store, I have not tried it nor will I ever. While some of it may work for vaping I personally don't trust it, Beadalon makes a ton of copper based wire which is something you don't want in a vape wire at all. Take a close look at the label of this "Artistic...

    18650 batteries for 100+ Watts?

    From what I have gathered the Imren 3000mah is an LG HG2, probably second rate B grade cells though.

    Caravela Mech Not Fitting 18650

    I've had and worked on numerous Caravela clones with this issue, the easiest remedy is to slightly file down the flat head side of the top cap positive pin, you only need to file it as much as the gap but be warned if you go too far or switch to a battery manufacturer with very slightly...

    Large capacity 22mm Genesis?

    Well if you don't mind the Poly tanks, you could also look at the Nectar RTA which is a bit of a different genesis in that it has bottom central airflow and is designed for horizontal coils rather than vertical like many genesis style tanks. Also 4ml capacity. $9.29 Nectar Styled Genesis RTA...

    Large capacity 22mm Genesis?

    Smoktech RSST is going down in price, 4ml and an excellent genesis atomizer IMO. Actually, it was my first rebuildable atomizer ever purchased back when they first came out for like $39 and change...now they're under $20 for pyrex tank. $17.38 Authentic SmokTech Pyrex RSST Rebuildable Atomizer...

    So what are the stockpiling strategies in light of an uncertain future?

    I've been doing the same, I've been DIY'ng my juice for a while now and I decided a few months back to make sure I had enough nicotine to last me ~10yrs. Not sure I want to exceed 10yrs due to the shelf life but from what I understand long term storage is best done with VG Nic base in the...

    So if regulation gets ugly, there will be a black market.

    I'm sure plenty of people already get juice on what could be considered the black market, they know a friend that DIY's and money changes hands for product without taxing or regulation of any kind. That will honestly never stop, regardless of what regulations pass.

    Mechmods Then And Now

    What has changed in one word... Conductivity. We now know the better ways to make a mechanical switch, the best materials to use for what places in the mods, etc so mods have over time become inherently better at getting more voltage sent to the coils and less lost in the body of the mod or...

    Cant Find Rayon Online

    Graham 44060 is the Part number for the 100% Rayon 500ft box. Got mine at a local Sally's for $13 out the door. For what it's worth I've been using tons of it and giving it out to friends in big handfulls and I've only removed perhaps 2" from the top of the box in a year. Should last one...
