    SMPL Owners: How do you carry it?

    I own several flush or countersunk button mech mods (some with and some without lock-rings, which I never use), and carry them all in pants, shirt or jacket pocket... but they are the only thing in pocket - no loose change, keys or anything else that can depress the button.

    Maybe Polish My Authentic Kayfun V4

    I only offered a polishing process. Patina SS? Not so easy. Read up on the chemicals ferric chloride and sodium bisulfate... one of those may give you the patina you're looking for.

    Maybe Polish My Authentic Kayfun V4

    With the advance recommendation of remembering to frequently rinsing the paper off of metallic particles and grit, as you use it... My usual polishing process to take brushed or matte SS to a mirror finish is: 320 or 400 grit wet to start (depends on how course the original finish is), then 600...

    question about mod i got and sub ohm

    Ooops. I should know better than to post after a 24 hr job. :oops:

    question about mod i got and sub ohm

    Yes. The 0.2Ω build requires 21 amps minimum for Ohm's law parity... so you're good, with a 4 amp cushion. Considering the quality of the mod however... don't be surprised if you get a bit of Joule (resistive) heating in the button. I don't understand the last question.

    Poldiac clones at FT

    Ah well... I'm afraid there aren't any clone mods I can suggest that, from my personal experience, don't require throw and pressure adjustments for the button... side or bottom. Pick up a Poldiac clone from FT and give it a try... might be perfect for your needs, or may require a bit of...

    Poldiac clones at FT

    This post is, to me, more interesting for the information left unsaid... than that which is given. "The bottom buttons starting to give me painful cramps my hand doesnt wanna work in that position these days." What mod are you using that does this... and how are you holding it/firing it? What...

    Question about resistance

    The flip side of Thrasher's VW coin, is a unregulated mech mod... where Ohm's law dictates the wattage discharged for a given resistance. The lower the resistance, the higher the wattage discharge. Let me rephrase that. Ohm's law doesn't care about wire gauge or how many coils... just the net...

    Clear coatings on metals?

    Do you intend to coat the threaded surfaces, or just the outer or visible and exposed surfaces? If you coat the tube and cap threads, or any internal surfaces, that may serve to prevent conductivity between those parts.

    Kanthal 26g vs 28g. What different ohm coils can you make with each?

    28 gauge works well in the 1.0Ω ~ 1.4Ω single coil range, or half that resistance as a dual parallel. 26 and 27 gauge work nicely in the 0.5Ω ~ 0.9Ω range as singles, with similar reductions for dual parallels. The heat flux value "flame" you see on the SE program is not necessarily everyone's...

    Does using a sub-ohm tank at low wattage damage it or the mod?

    Well, no matter how the "dreaded gunk" is obtained... sweet, high solids content juices - or just inadequate wattage/heat flux for the coil net resistance/surface area... wick replacement and coil cleaning is inevitable. There's a particular chocolate mint that I like, in "max VG", that I run...

    What is a "stupid" question u always wanted to know ? Vaping six years and 1 or my many is below..

    High drain, for our purposes, is the continuously available amperage. "Continuously" is the key word here, as most batteries are rated for this value - Maximum Continuous Current Discharge, or MCCD. With a low resistance, you have to have - with unregulated mods in particular - at minimum, an...

    Does using a sub-ohm tank at low wattage damage it or the mod?

    No "damage" to anything, but... the coil radiant heat temperature is going to be pretty low (can't provide exact numbers without more detail). It may be low enough that, with certain types of juices, a rapid caramelization of liquid (AKA - "Gunk") will develop on the coil head fairly quickly...

    Low resistance is a byproduct, not the goal, or... more things to hurt your head.

    Low resistance is a byproduct of a (mostly) unrecognized benefit... not the goal. "It's that damn SoF again... talkin' 'bout that damn heat flux. Get him! - burn him at the stake!". Don't light the match just yet... More surface area means more juice is vaporized for a given duration of...

    coil builds

    Your friend doesn't have a good grasp of electrical theory. If they are dual parallel coils, with different resistances, the lower resistance coil will heat first... and the higher resistance coil - depending on the resistance "spread" - may never reach a temperature sufficient to vaporize...

    rda/rba wire and batteries to pair with a ragnarok or sage mod

    All the RDAs I mentioned, with the exception of the Origen V2, have top, side-to-center or indirect side air flows... making them less likely to leak when placed on their sides. To get a better idea of what is available in clones (and more are added almost every day)... here's a link to...

    Anyone heard of Nicobine?

    This is the same address as a company called "Private Car LLC"... located in an airport.

    rda/rba wire and batteries to pair with a ragnarok or sage mod

    IMR chemistry batteries from Samsung, AW, Sony Panasonic, Sony, Efest and LG are popular. Be wary of who you buy from... false labeling and performance claims are rampant. Find a vendor you trust... like RTD Vapor for example.
