    The Hangsen Thread

    I still need to mix a sample of Hangsen Elder Captain and Desert Ship. 'jimi' said Elder Cpt. is rich tobacco w/ a touch of honey and he has a mix of D.Ship going until August to see if it gets a 'cig paper' kinda taste going. Problem is RY-1 is so good I haven't bothered mixing the other...

    DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

    Thanks, do you have a favorite raspberry? I've had Capella's recommended so far. ECX has a bunch of raspberry DIY flavors to choose from and I don't vape fruit, so it's foreign territory for me.

    DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

    Question, I'm about to DIY some Raspberry for a friend's wife. Capella's was recommended here but he bought LorAnn's w/o me knowing it, so... If my thread research is correct, anywhere from 10-20% is what most people mix w/ LorAnn fruit flavors? I was thinking about trying 15% for her...

    Arrow -> wire snapping

    ...edit: I see you got it working, good deal! It is a nice atty but I need to stop it from over wicking. I did test the leak proof aspect and it does work after sealing the air holes and DT. Pretty cool!

    Ba Gua firing problems

    I'm away from home for a few days, but will try to unscrew the button again, shouldn't be so tricky...lol I saw on another forum a member ordered these magnets but said the ID isn't quite the same, that it has great travel but is a bit wobbly but good for him. With the above info I'm sure it...

    Arrow -> wire snapping

    The thin wick isn't the culprit, although it can lead to over wicking/gurgling which I'm getting. I'll make a thicker wick next. I forgot to mention, you can sort out hotspots by nudging the coils up or down or the pulse method (short pulses of the button until the coils glow evenly). If you...

    Arrow -> wire snapping

    I'm assuming you're talking about the Arrow atty by Yellowkiss. I have one too, but either way, a Gen atty can do that sometimes; called popping the coil. It's usually the top one and can be due to poor oxidation, top coil leg too far from post to name a couple. I popped my first coil w/...

    Ba Gua firing problems

    I'd order it but just ordering the spring would be silly w/ s/h fees... anyone that is ordering let me know. In the meantime, how do you get the negative screw from the switch out?! It just spins even when locked.

    Ba Gua firing problems

    Got my Ba Gua yesterday. Yeah, those stock magnets are pretty stiff. Concerning the heating of magnets, yes, it will make them less strong, although on another forum people discussed that and the stiffness will return if I remember correctly. I will try the shim method and report back.

    Arrow Genisis (leak proof) atty roll call

    Got my Arrow/Ba Gua set yesterday. Set it up w/ a single wick, 3/4 wrap of 32g kanthal. I popped the first coil but the second was a winner. My thoughts so far: - Setting up isn't bad, although tiny. I didn't have too much trouble getting the - connection to stay. - Make sure the nut...

    The Hangsen Thread

    You can buy Hangsen premixed or buy the flavoring and DIY it yourself. The flavoring is concentrated and not meant to vape by itself.

    The Hangsen Thread

    My pleasure, although 'bj' and 'jimi' get original credit. I've mixed all my Hangsen tobacco's the same. My favorite so far is RY-1 w/ about .25% of USA-Red. Indian is better for me on a silica wick; on my Genny I found it a little too sweet and not as clean on the coils as RY-1. That stuff...

    Mechanical Maintenance Primer?

    I'm new to mech mods and asked a similar question on another forum. What he said above, also recommended was a fiberglass pen for (non plated) contacts. A lot of people also used Noalox for threads, etc.

    JUST TOBACCO, no perfume, no caramel, no vanilla, no tba

    Yeah, the taste thing... don't get nutty from RY-1 either, just good/clean tobacco plumes. I add about 25% of USA-Red to my RY-1 mix to add a little more bite; not needed, just do. I've heard of other mixers people are using to add ashy notes, can't remember off hand.

    Orion V2 roll call

    Ba Gua firing problems

    My Ba Gua/Arrow arrived in Chicago from Canada yesterday, so i should have mine soon. I"m sure I'll find the button too stiff as well. I'll probably try the template fix, but if you find 'softer' magnets do share. I'm not aware of such a thread, maybe start one?! That would be a nice option...

    What kind are you using out of curiosity?

    100% pg?

    Same here, I'm a tobacco ADV kinda guy and I find that VG adds a level of sweetness I don't like. That and I don't have to worry about solid wicks/mods as PG has no trouble wicking w/ the traditional Genny setup I use.

    100% pg?

    I do. I use a straw wick of 400 mesh, 3/4 wrap of 32g kanthal. Scott aka 'igetcha69' also uses 100% PG and has a lot of Gen videos, so you can check his setups out.

    Ba Gua firing problems

    It would shorten it by the thickness of the cardboard stock I reckon. Not sure if linking other forums is kosher or I would.
