    Saving BIG money on vaping vs smoking > check this out

    Here, I used to pay $1.00 Federal tax plus $2.00 state tax plus .18 sales tax on the sin tax to equal $3.18/pack of tax (not counting the additional sales tax on the actual 'purchase'.) $3.18 times 2 packs a day times 7 months since quitting equals $667.00 (very roughly) just in the tax...

    In need of help with AGA-T2 on my Innokin Itaste SVD

    I'm using several rebuildables. On my AGA T2, I use a 1/16th inch drill bit for a mandrel, about five wraps of 32 gauge Kanthal on a cotton wick. Get right around 1.8 ohms..

    Upgrading from Halo Triton Starter to ?

    I started off with an 808. Then a different 808 battery with more MAH. I was looking at a Halo for my next upgrade. Did a lot of reading on this forum, and accepted the inevitable and bought a Provari. Cut out all of the 'newest and greatest' and 'shiny' purchases in between my 808's and a...

    Help with Russian build?

    I've read some of the posts, and skipped around quite a bit so I might be posting some redundancy!! I build the coil (1/16th inch drill bit, 32 gauge kanthal, looking for about 1.8 ohms). Dry burn and squeeze. Put cotton through coil, couple of drips of juice, 'glue' the wick to the sides of...

    Coil Ohm's. Why is one better then the other?????

    Thanks. So two coils on the same wire, with one post in the center of the wire with the ends affixed to the other post would be in effect a parallel (dual coil) set up as the electricity would have two paths to travel.

    Vivi Nova Rebuild - Short Circuit Question?

    Since you've rebuilt a coil, you know where the wires are (G). Using a multimeter on the ohms setting, touch your leads to the center post and the outside metal of the new coil..it should show you the ohms of the coil. It should show you a number between 1 ohm and 4 ohms if you've done things...

    Best setup for Kayfun lite plus with Kanthal 32 and 3mm wick

    I've been using 32 gauge kanthal, micro coil on a 1/16th inch drill bit with cotton for a wick. So far so good..simple to build and works well enough for me..

    A little frustrating. Actually really frustrating

    If he is like me, point out how much tax he is paying on cigarettes, and how the various governments allow him to be abused as a smoker. Read some recommendations about simple, inexpensive, minimum fiddle with 'e-cigs' and buy him a kit with some juice he might like. Maybe it will sit in a...

    Some general Provari Questions

    I use mine with an AGA T2, an IGO L, a Vivi Nova v2, a Kayfun clone with no trouble. Sits firmly and since I do a lot of topper swapping I don't have to worry about the 510 connector on the Provari wearing or stripping out. I tried a Protank 2, but it had the 'no air' issue on the Provari but...

    Kayfun lite plus black clone edition

    I've been using 32 gauge on my black box version. Someone suggested making the cotton wick a bit longer and after sticking it to the riser like one normally does, lay the ends over the top of the coil in an X fashion.

    Built my first coil for IGO-L...now what tank to get?

    A higher gauge wire will heat up faster. I use 32 gauge in my EGO L. Changing the height of the coil in relation to the airhole will also change the quality of the vape. I use an AGA T2 for a tank, no problems with it but some folks consider it a PITA to coil. Hopefully some one else will...

    How come mainstream stores only carry disposable products like Blu?

    If the store is selling something for $10.00 then they might be paying $4.00 - $5.00 for it. Minimum amount of 'up front' money selling a simple low cost product to a large market. A top of the line ($100.00 plus) or medium priced mod ($40.00?) is more up front cash and selling to a much...

    Coil Ohm's. Why is one better then the other?????

    Please correct if I am wrong (happens quite often). To make a 'serial' coil I would take a single length of wire, bend it in the middle and build two coils on the 'ends' of the length of wire. Then take the 'middle' section, attach it to one post, have the coils go to the right and left of the...

    Kanger protank 2 airhole issue

    No air on my provari. Drilled out the airholes on the 510 connector - no help. Filed out the air channels a little bit -- no help. Made a shim out of a piece of plastic from a credit card and placed it on the 510 connector. Good air but no firing because the pos pin didn't make contact...
