    Bettery Compatibility with Subtank

    First, I had to figure out what-in-the-hell an Ipow 2 is... ;-) The Kanger Ipow has a lower resistance limit of 1.0Ω... fairly common, and the device has so many safety features that it's near idiot proof. Maximum output is 15 watts, so... the 0.5Ω coil heads may "fire", but the device won't...

    help building my first dual coil

    Although you're not offering much in the way of specifics... I can kinda guess. ;-) 28 gauge is a bit thick for a dual parallel, 1.5Ω build. If you increase the ID to 3.5mm, you can do a 13 wrap... but depending on your atty, that still might be too long (or fat). Also, with that gauge, you'll...

    Testing tube mech mods/RBAs for conductivity

    First... you need a digital multi-meter (DMM). How much you choose to spend is entirely at your budgetary discretion. A word of caution before we begin. Make sure that your meter is set correctly before any test. If you forget to switch from resistance to voltage and apply live voltage, you...

    What range of Wattage and Amps should my eCig push if I want to sub-ohm.

    Entirely your call. You can build nicely warm, flavor biased, sub-ohm with 30 watts... 150 watts... 300 watts... and what ever they come out with by next Tuesday. :laugh: The builds can all be matched to the wattage (and visa versa) for best performance, within those parameters. Click on all...

    Super Nano Coils and Wicking

    Welcome to ECF, buck... I've interpreted your build to be a: Single 0.3Ω coil. 24 gauge/8 wraps/.511mm (.020") mandrel. And what I figure, based on the photo, a net leg length of 6-8mm. Using a 18650 unregulated mod, with a discharge @ 4.2v of 59 watts. This correct? If it is, your...

    RDA new to RDA, why it always give smoother throat hit later on? (don't know to to explain LOL)

    Are you using a mech mod, and if so, have you taken into account the rate of discharge for your net resistance and battery? Do you know the "heat flux" of your build... or the "heat capacity"? It may be that your build is a bit "cold" and not able to stabilize the rate of coil / wick...

    RDA After 3 years vaping, I purchased my first RDA today (Looking for guidance)

    Hi Jester... The numbers you provide aren't adding up. Per Steam Engine, 0.4Ω net duals would be 7 full wraps on a 2mm mandrel. 10 full wraps is closer to .55Ω. I mention this because it's possible your ohm meter is not that accurate. Not a big deal at these resistances, but should you drop...

    v3tronix flip clone massive voltage drop

    Welcome to ECF, swanny... 2 days, 56 views... no takers huh? ;-) Your post is lacking a bit of useful detail, that would allow a member a more likely chance of sorting out your issue. Examples of "handy to know" info would be: Is this a true 1:1 V3tronics Flip V3 copy, or a "loosely...

    Welcome to ECF, Jenny... You'll want to look at: Forum - Events and Contests - Contests - Contest Questions and Discussion and in particular, classwife's post regarding contest rules.

    Trying my first super subohm coil. Have questions!

    First... a safety precaution regarding your meter at, approaching dead short, resistance values. Make sure you have an accurate (Not scale range, but accuracy. Just because a meter can read to the thousands of an ohm doesn't mean it's accurate to the thousands of an ohm) ohm meter. If your...

    First time buying batteries, please help.

    The first two numbers ('18'), is the diameter in mm. The second two numbers are the length ('35, '40', '50' and '65'), in mm. The last number designates a ('O') round battery. Each battery length has it's own Maximum Continuous Current Discharge (MMCD) rating, and you need to make sure that...

    Should I change flavor concentration?

    As you've mentioned both an output current increase, and an unidentified "build" change... I'm going to approach your issue from an entirely different - may not be the juice - direction... so bear with me, anha. ;-) Before you start laying all blame on your e-liquid formula... if you've not...

    VW Question

    With a regulated VW APV - and to put the same concept a bit differently than what Dj Xy has stated - you can bypass using a basic Ohm's law calculator... because unlike an unregulated mech mod, you don't need to be concerned with maximum continuous current discharge ratings for battery amperage...

    30 watts or higher?

    If you were a rebuilder, using thicker gauge wire, you could actually "use" wattages, up to and including - 400w. It's all a matter of obtaining desirable heat flux values with a balance of wire gauge, parallel coil count, resistance and wattage. Saying that, with pre-made coil heads, if you...

    Comment by 'State O' Flux' in 'Dial / digital calipers... what, you don't have any?'

    11-18-2014? Where the hell have I been that I didn't see this comment? Sorry, David. :blush: Yeah, o-ring fabrication. If you've not already found them with a bit of "Advanced Googlology"... "The O-ring Store" sells o-ring fabrication "kits". Lengths of X thickness o-ring stock, o-ring...

    New and Questioning.

    No problem Von... The "perfect" build will have a desirable (but somewhat subjective) heat flux... and the more universally desirable characteristics of a low heat capacity value that offers rapid time to temperature, and a low leg power loss value, so you're not wasting energy, feeding hungry...

    New and Questioning.

    Welcome to ECF, Von... You actually have several points of inquiry in your post... sufficient that a short response, or even a few paragraphs, won't answer adequately. That being the case, I'm going to point you to some information, that should you take the time to read it all, you'll find all...

    Absolutely identical resistance, or... how to make your head hurt

    After I responded to an interesting thread found here... I started thinking about the (highly unlikely) chances of truly identical multi-coil builds - considering how atomizers are made and the individual components that go to make up the whole - where heating lag time from coil to coil is...

    RDA Is it the coils or the RDA?

    Are your coils identical, to the best of your ability, both for wrap count, tension applied ("wrap tension" - if it varies from one coil to the next can cause a difference in resistance, as the wire is "stretched" at differing rates) and tail lengths to terminals? Each coil should be made, and...
