    RDA Clicking noise from coils?

    I was going to pass this thread by... but curiosity got the best of me. o_O "Plinking & clicking" are terms I've not heard anyone use before. Sizzling and popping... like drops of water on a hot frying pan, yes, but your specific terms, no. If we're talking about the same thing... then it's...

    Squape R[s] Build for Flavor on Mech Mod?

    With the 26... you might try a .80Ω build. Wattage would be 22 (at 4.2v), heat flux a warm 243 mW/mm² and surface area a pretty decent value of 87.82 mm². Heat capacity would be a fairly low 29.87 mJ/K. All in all... not a bad build.

    Squape R[s] Build for Flavor on Mech Mod?

    With a fully charged battery, you're discharging just under 40 watts... so use that wattage to best effect. I don't have specs for Royal wire, so I'm using Kanthal A-1 as reference. Is this a single coil build? If it is, the heat flux is very very hot, at 777 mW/mm². If you raise the...

    GSwer variable mod vaping too hot

    Lets say for a moment that your mod is fine and the electronics are working correctly. If you chain vape a RTA with a small vapor chamber capacity (and most are... at least compared to an RDA or genesis atomizer)... that chamber is going to get hot, even if your build surface area, and wattage...

    RDA Cool vapor from RTA possible?

    That would be a yes, but (there's always a "but", isn't there?)... you would need to either - A. Buy a high wattage VW mod where you simply turn up or down the wattage needed to support a large surface area atomizer build. Understanding Steam Engine is still a good idea, as its use provides...

    Ijoy Asolo Temp Control any Coil

    There is a possibility that they may have taken the less commonly relatable and understood values found in Steam Engine - Heat Flux = coil radiant heat Heat Capacity = time to temperature - and provided what appears to be a conversion to a more "understandable" format... that being temperature...

    RDA Cool vapor from RTA possible?

    The above reference to air flow, if sufficient, can offset, to a degree, a high coil temperature, however... disregarding air flow, due to the lack of a measurable, comparable value... Vapor density and vapor temperature can be - I say can be - selected semi-independently of one another... but...

    Need general help with my build

    If you had the Skeleton Key top cap, rather than the Glas cap... you'd have a battery adjustment. I'm not going to ask how you ended up with such a strange combination. Baring that... if you're mechanical, make a solid positive pin from some copper bar stock, or if the thread pitch is the...

    Need general help with my build

    You have no internal contact pin adjustments on either the 510 positive, or the button negative contacts? If a wire spring "melts" it's likely due to your net resistance being too low... more current is running through the spring than it was designed for. Why your resistance is low... I can't...

    I could be a genius, or I could be an idiot.....

    It's not neccessarily a dumb idea... dangerous maybe, but not dumb. If it is nichrome, and it's a thickness (have a way to accurately measure thickness?) that is in the resistance range you want (have a way to accurately measure resistance?)... then give it a shot. If you like Sparky... put him...

    Silver Bullet M and Voltage Drop

    I don't place much faith in most (cheap) inline volt meters... they frequently put an unwarranted scare into scare people. Likely any drop you have will be in the mod, battery or a combination of both... it's not that common to see much more than a few hundredths of an ohm resistance in a...

    Newb Cloud Chaser

    Remove the o-rings. Install the cap to make sure it's just over-thick o-rings causing the tight fit. If you have dial or digital calipers or a metric machinists scale (a bit harder to be accurate), you can measure, then order thinner cross section o-rings from a variety of sources. If you don't...

    material for my RDA

    Looks. ;) Seriously... when you say "body", do you mean the post base/juice well, or the cap/sleeve/cover?

    Dotmod Petri Firing issue

    Just varying grits of wet/dry sandpaper. Think of it as if the insulator were made of a hardwood... same thing. ;)

    Dotmod Petri Firing issue

    Based on the one that I "fixed" for a friend who's authentic had the same basic symptoms... it's likely the spring loaded insulator ring in combination with the negative post/button available travel. That, and perhaps the batteries you're using, with the relative stack-up of tolerances between...

    Newbie question about cotton

    When I see the words "embossed structure"... I'd take a pass. It's actually pretty easy to "un-roll" a cotton ball into a cotton strip... where the "grain" of the cotton is linear with the strip, and easy to cut into 1.25" segments from which 4-5 wicks can be produced per segment. Well, at...

    Looking to buy my first mechanical mod

    The first consideration is fixed tube or telescoping. The latter has lost ground in popularity. Fixed tube mods can come with three dedicated battery tubes, or if the shorter batteries are less likely to be used, just an 18650. Contact materials are important, especially if you're going to run...

    Would you use big tobacco cigalikes if the way we vape goes extinct?

    IMO - If you have a firm grasp of "how things work"... and can accept "making do" with the cards you're dealt... a vapocalypse is not a foregone, inevitable conclusion. I spend a fair amount of time fighting local, state and federal regulations, not so much for me, but for the entire vaping...
