    Official DNA 40 introduction

    exactly. but good luck getting a 1 ohm coil with nickel. I'd probably aim for 2x .3 coils = .15 ohms

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    28g vs 30 or 32g Ni200: I'll have to try it for myself, but wondering about other aspects as well; i.e. thicker can mean easier to hold a cylindrical shape, and combine that with lower resistance = might be good for dual coils. One more; does thicker wire carry more heat = potentially more wick...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    What are the performance differences in Ni200 28g and 32g? I mean does the resistance go down given the same length but thicker nickel, like kanthal?

    High End REGULATED MODS !

    Chiming in: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-vaping-discussion/611315-my-thoughts-about-sub-ohm-latest-vv-vw-devices-14.html Since reading this OP I've converted to using thin wire (30g) and higher volts (vs watts) for a more consistent (and better) vape on my regulated mods. At LR...

    My thoughts about sub-ohm and latest VV/VW devices...

    I have a Cana Clouper 30 and its great... but sometimes the LED comes on by itself lately; other than that I've had it for at least a few months with no issues. It has gotten a lot of use in my daily rotation since reading the OP here! RTA 2.2 Ohms 30g wire, single coil, at 18w 6.5v just...

    the case against ADV's

    I agree with getting multiple tanks and/or multiple devices. I have at least 6 devices ($100 to $300 ea.) which for some reason I've gotten all setup with practically the same favorite atomizers (more $). My problem is I only know of 4 juices, one of them DIY, that I really like and I'm...

    wattage and VG/PG ratio

    hmmm ... air flow? or hot spots? I use almost 100% VG so not sure about the PG although I think I've heard its not a problem with 20w. I'm sure you'll get some help here.

    Good RBA for LP Grand

    Since you like the Tohb and Magma, you can have your cake an eat it too... Aside from the choices on the Reo site for LP, Chowderhead (ecf supplier) mods a heck of a lot of RDA's for bottom feeding... the Odin is mighty popular. Fwiw I prefer the Origen b/f version myself.

    Watts or volts? Which is better?

    I have some high watt box mods like Raptor and OKR T10 which both are know as high wattage, but are adjusted by VV only... check this out; they can go up to 120w and 50w respectively, BUT only go up to 6v. These are good for resistance in the sub ohms ranges because that really ups you wattage...

    Newbie starting up

    There may some sites that sell very small flavoring bottles, for not too much. Get extra flavors, play around with different things as you (or anyone else seeing this thread) see fit. I do know that Pure Vapes sells 3ml samples of FA, and I think RTS may do the same with other brands, not sure...

    Newbie starting up

    There are many sites that sell varied brands (ecigXpress, RTS, VapingZone, etc etc) but invariably none of them will have everything. Its crazy and some are better shipping $ than others. Its crazy and takes a researching. Thats' why its good to peruse the DIY threads for favorite brands of a...

    Newbie starting up

    I expect you may be on a budget, and YES start small in the case (more than likely) some of your mixes (and flavorings) don't come out as you hope, so its good to get small bottles of flavor concentrates too. And from different brands. I like to use 5ml bottles and make 2 or 3ml of one flavor...

    Your tastes sound very similar to mine. First things that comes to mind is: TFA Lychee (TFA TPA are same) may not be for you; I don't care for it but try it at less than 3%. I prefer Hangsen and/or Flavour Art Lychee, even Capella Lychee. I love TFA Sweet Cream Most Mango from vendors are...

    Titanium ACHILLES DRIPPER Review

    I'm using an Achilles on my DNA40 Flask... works a charm! All those wraps (12) gets me .20 ohms, 3mm ID. Japanese cotton. 30g Ni200 wire is thin and not as easy to wick as thicker wire but the DNA40 is pretty forgiving. The Temp Protection helps keep the wick from burning. Flask40 and...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    "if I set my coil to 480F to not always hit the temp limit my cotton would still burn if the atty would be totally dry. So really it's more for the point of not broiling our liquid than burning our wick. " WTQ...the dry wick will not burn in TP mode... the only time the temp or watts goes up...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    IMO yes AND no to that question: I notice that a smaller ID coil (2mm) can get nice and zippy (using single coil only so far) when you try to set for maximum reponse and vapor. (490 to 520). But the with a 3mm coil the vapor is denser right off the batt, and at moderate temp (430 for me) you...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    Nice video from Basil... explains a lot of what we've been talking about.... how this dna40 functions in operation. I really like Temp Protection. But yeah, now we're glowing our coils? oh kayyyyyy... why not? Well we were told not to torch Ni200. I can see it helps to burn off the impurities...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    My thoughts on NOT dry burning Ni200 coils... Yes, thick wire K lasts a hell of a long time and of course can be dry burned over and over and easily rewicked. (thin K wire too but not as long lasting as thicker). Is it worth rebuilding every couple days or even every day if you are using one...

    DNA 40, NR, Nickel Builds

    Here's my latest build only the 2nd after using a 2mm ID .15 for a few days, which I went up to 3mm and the vapor is more dense. Less temp required for a full vape. From 500 with smaller ID, to 450 to 470 with the 3mm coil. I have it at 30w. The Achilles has under coil air post which i like...

    Official DNA 40 introduction

    WTQ... I was never unhappy with my coil... just learning about it. I did like the 2mm ID coil. Actually this second one may be closer to 3mm, and the vape is denser and more enjoyable, but the first was pretty good at higher temps. This thicker one is doing gobs of vapor and at less heat and...
