    Moving on from a "Starter Kit"?

    Write down MVP 20 watt instead. The MVP2 is a good mod, but older and not as capable as the recently released MVP 20 watt. Note that these are different items. MVP 2pointO (2.0) and MVP 20 WATT. You want the 20 watt. Not the v2. With proper care these items will last a long time, yes...

    Moving on from a "Starter Kit"?

    There is nothing wrong with Apollo. But they are for beginners, and like most things made for beginners, tend to be a little pricey for what they actually do. But they DO work and, as a general rule, whatever is keeping you off of cigarettes is a good thing. That said, there are better things...

    Moving on from a "Starter Kit"?

    For moving on from ego setups, I would suggest a good fixed-battery mod, either the eLeaf iStick (20 watt is enough) or the MVP 20 watt. Both will cost you around the same amount and offer more than enough power. The iStick is more compact and a little finicky with power settings, but if...

    Is Aspire Still Having Issues with QC on their Nautilus Coils?

    The wrong coils would not work at all, they have different housings and would likely not even thread properly. I was only clarifying so that a future purchase wouldn't be the wrong item. BVC coils also take quite a bit of priming to get the best use. Put a drop directly into the coil, then...

    Is Aspire Still Having Issues with QC on their Nautilus Coils?

    If the first two coils used were the two that came with the Nautilus originally (in the box with the tank) it is quite possible that clearomizer was older stock, which means the coils that came with it would be too. I suggest putting in coils from a fresh pack bought from a reliable vendor. I...

    Starting Mech Mod

    Once you have battery safety, ohm's law and other necessary knowledge, I suggest looking at the Stingray X. Either the 1:1 Fasttech clone or the SXK version from Focalecig. Stainless steel exterior, copper interior, magnetic switch, floating 510. Quite possibly the best clone available for a...

    RDA Magma?

    The Magma does what you want, and does it well. My Infinite Magma loves to share juice with my mods though. That airflow ring gets really juicy if you don't have a large o-ring tucked in there to stop the condensation from running through the threads of the top cap, and if you over drip you...

    Favorite Mechanical Mods and Attys- PICS!

    Got my first mech and RDA's just this week. Bought for looks and flavor, SXK Stingray X and Infinite Magma clones. Love them so far, and rebuilding has been a lot of fun. The SRX switch likes to stick a little, but I'm researching ways to fix that right now :)

    First build - success!

    Yep, the IGO-L seems like a nice enough budget RDA, I certainly won't be throwing it away when I step up to the Magma this week. I wasn't able to center the coil very well because the legs were a little long after spending quite some time getting them trapped under the screws. I moved it to...

    First build - success!

    So after going through a lot to get the screws out of my IGO-L (replaced the screws and all is well), I managed to wrap a 2 ohm coil, wicked with rayon. It was a serious pain to capture the leads under the screws, but once they were in all was well. Glows evenly from the middle out. Took a...

    RDA Buyer paralysis

    After stripping the heads on several of the screws in both of the IGO's that I ordered (screws were stuck when they showed up, and never managed to back them out) I ordered an Infinite Magma clone. I never managed to get to building a coil since I destroyed the screws on the IGO-L and IGO-W4...

    RDA First RDA's troubles.

    Thanks. Yes, I realized my screwdrivers were crap when the tips started to deform. I actually didn't get any of the little blue screwdrivers you're referencing that usually seem to come with RDA's. These two didn't come with them.

    RDA First RDA's troubles.

    Tried two different tweezers. Managed to catch a little with one, but not enough. Was well worth a shot, thanks!

    RDA First RDA's troubles.

    I did try temperature shock twice, but at this point at least one screw head is stripped out (not the threads, just the head of the screw). All three of my precision phillips head screwdrivers are messed up to the point of unusable, so I'll need to order some different (hopefully better...

    RDA First RDA's troubles.

    I received my IGO-L and IGO-W4 today. I've never used an RDA before. Out of the five posts (two on the IGO-L, three on the IGO-W4), I've been able to back out ONE screw over the past two hours. I've mangled one screwdriver set (all of the tips of the phillips heads are deformed now from...

    Protank2 Airflow Control valve question.

    Seems like you've solved your issue, but these tank airflow controllers (NOT the actual Kanger airflow valves) work just like 510 to 510 adapters and fit nicely on an MVP with the included MVP thread cover. A lot of people use them on the iStick, but I've had good results on my MVP as well...

    RDA Buyer paralysis

    I noticed the lack of post holes, which will probably be a little annoying but still workable. I also ended up grabbing an IGO-W4 as they were really low priced, so I'll have a three post to work with as well (and apparently the top caps on those two are interchangeable)

    Minimum tools to get started?

    If you think that visor would help you too, it's a pretty good buy I think. I only have some 2x reading glasses so I really needed to find something like that. I purchased from Ebay instead of Amazon because of a shipping difference. I agree though, the built in LED stuff is incredibly...
