    Liquid coming up to fripper

    Off the top of the ol' head... a few that come to mind: An air leak (o-ring seal quality/condition). Tank vacuum is reduced or lost - you loose the "boundary layer" pressure differential and juice can flow much more freely up the juice channels. AFC set "tight". An overly tight draw can...

    Best Non Sub-ohm tank? (Can I use the Kanger Sub Tank Mini for non sub-ohming?)

    There is no danger if one has good equipment, a clear understanding of Ohm's law and battery function/safety. If not... then yeah, you can hurt yourself, and even those around you. The primary advantage of sub-ohm - or just a general lower resistance than the one you're using - is a greater...

    18gauge Kanthal

    Yes, there's a difference... and that is mass/heat capacity, as well as wattage for a desired heat flux. Using ZoiDman's 60 watts and 0.2Ω as points of reference, your net mass is 663.391 mg with a heat capacity of 305.16 mJ K-1. It's the mass that is creating a ridiculously high heat...

    First Sub-Ohm Build Question

    It's not that cold Das. Certainly not a build or temperature for myself, and likely you as well... but at 201 mW/mm², not freezing cold. Come to think of it, considering that at 5 wraps, the coil ID would be a tiny 1mm+/-.... if you increase power much beyond 10 watts, it might broil the wick...

    RDA Nimbus - First RDA from RBA / tanks

    I got it all from the back of a Count Chocula cereal box. ;-)

    How much power can it take?

    Your build and wattage applied to that build will, with regulated APVs, determine perceived vape temperature. Vape temperature, or coil radiant heat value - as used in the Steam Engine coil model program is, for the purposes of this example - measured as "heat flux" and expressed as (mW/mm²)...

    Smok xPro M65 - Weird Voltage Increase/Drop

    For the M65, as I don't have one, I'm not exactly sure if your real time voltage is displayed during a draw, but... I'll toss out an educated guess, based on that possibility. Using a very basic but handy on-line Ohm's law calculator - if your chipset uses standard Ohm's law formuli as your...

    RDA Nimbus - First RDA from RBA / tanks

    If you provide more specifics to your build... wire gauge, mandrel ID and perhaps a clear photo of the Nimbus deck, I (or others) may be able to offer more exacting answers to your concerns. Cheers

    Want to upgrade to Mech...a little confused

    You need to understand Ohm's law formulas to properly and safely use unregulated mech mods. To obtain the greatest benefit from a mech, you may wish to use a lower net resistance than 1.8Ω. I'll explain that later on. ;-) For wattage ("Power") the formula is V² ÷ Ω = P For amperage...

    Info

    In equal parts, you'd end up with 17 mg/ml... but if it's just a bit, it'd be closer to 16 mg/ml. Make a "test" amount first... sometimes mixing e-liquid doesn't provide you with the hoped for result. Might be good... might be terrible.

    Info

    "RBA" encompasses all rebuildable atomizers... meaning the user builds their own coil(s) and fits their own wick. From that, there are "genesis" tanks... which is kinda like a RDA on top of (and sometimes under) a juice tank. There's the RDA or rebuildable dripping atomizer, which is a build...

    Thanks, Das. I'm grateful that someone likes them. ;-)

    Istick 50w and Dripping

    50 watts... 250 watts... doesn't really matter, and 50 watts is more than enough to run a sub-ohm RDA. A good quality, 2-way AFC option type RDA like a Origen V2 would be just fine - or a Hobo, or Odin or Marquis or Veritas... or just about any popular 3/4 post atty. You can obtain the same...

    Does a vv/vw device emulate a mech accurately?

    Oddly enough, I tend to agree, to some extent, with both versions of a good vape. I prefer mechs, for perhaps at least a few of the reasons appreciated by Snork... and with Bad as well - Because some days, you just don't want to be "Mr. purist"... you just want a good, consistent vape, or might...

    Question about ohms

    No worries Mr. D... I don't know if you can access it via an iPhone, but if you can, click both my first and second sigline hyperlinks. I've written a series of articles that will guide you in using Steam Engine, and optimizing all the variables to produce your desired vape.

    Does a vv/vw device emulate a mech accurately?

    There is an optimal range of builds for a given wattage... and an optimal range of wattage for a given build. With a mech, where Ohm's law dictates the wattage/amperage for voltage and resistance values... your goal is to obtain that optimal build to provide a desired combination of...

    Question about ohms

    Although some values are subjective - There are optimal builds for every wattage, and an optimal range of wattage for every build. 27 gauge at 1.0Ω+/- would offer a good surface area (9 wraps +/- on a 2.4mm mandrel), low "heat capacity" (time-to-temperature) low leg loss, and a broad range of...
