    I said I was gonna do it, and I did. 24 gauge 8 wraps .75 ohm JOC ponytail wick 30 watts Throws very respectable cloudage, but those giant posts just block too much air, methinks. Flavor is a little dark, missing the bright notes this atty normally does so well. Spent more time grooming the...

    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    Organic Japanese cotton pads First received these as an add-in to an atty I purchased. Nice clean cut little pads, slight brown organic-looking color. Not layered like the Muji - the core of the pad is a dense mat of tangled fibers that pulls apart quite randomly. The skin layer is very...

    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    Muji cotton pads My old stand-by. Can’t complain, they have served me well. Layered cosmetic pads with good density, relatively high whiteness, no seeds. Easily peeled apart into 4 individual sheets, ready for cutting or tearing into individual wicks. Decent bang for the buck (be sure to...

    Obviously this isn't a single coil atty, but why should I let that stop me? I got no issue with putting 80 watts into a single coil - been there, done that. Just gotta wick it properly. Although I don't really think 80 watts will be necessary - haven't needed it yet. Time will tell.:thumb:

    You and Russ are pushing me over the edge. When I get done with a couple chores, I'm gonna go slap a single center coil in a Velocity and see if this lame RTA build has legs in the squonkin'/drippin' world of 2015. If the Velocity airflow can't make this thing sing, then it ain't real. And if...

    Decided to start a thread over in "Wick and Wire" to document my observations. I'll make a note to add rayon Tidi balls to Round 2. Recommend a vendor?

    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    Of late I have become determined to find the ideal wicking materials for my various attys and e-liquids. I decided to start a thread to document my observations and impressions of some of the cotton/cellulose materials that seem to be popular at the moment. I may dig into some of the “vintage”...

    Russ - how's the spit-back? Thinkin' I may need one of these.

    FDA moving to regulate e-cigarettes, “vaping” liquid nicotine

    I read all the comments last night (no interest in seeing any more of the discussion), and the pro-vaping comments were a little sad. Lame apologizing at best. The anti-vape folks have no obligation to go out and get educated. What they see and what they are told by the media is enough for them...

    FDA moving to regulate e-cigarettes, “vaping” liquid nicotine

    The comments on this article over at ArsTechnica are hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Watching a bunch of tech nerds (disclaimer: I regularly frequent ArsTechnica) who have little to no knowledge of vaping bash us is pretty disturbing. These are educated, internet-active ANTZ - they...

    We've got a plant growing out on the back deck. First harvest I'll give it a try.

    I'm starting to fear that once my Tmod Sniper Girl arrives, I could possibly turn into an obsessed feasting beast like the rest of you. Perhaps there is some sort of mind altering drug in the Cerakote. For this reason I am getting prepared for its arrival:

    For the record, this was some damn fine chili: And Russ: I did go down to the cave and vape some 3mg 50/50 unflavored. Before switching over to NET.com Gypsy Blonde. :smokie:

    You dog. I'm so jealous.:thumb: Oh, wait - MY Tmod sniper girl should be here Monday or Tuesday. :thumbs: Never mind, it's all good.

    Composite cotton wick: engineered performance

    Obviously, building a layered wick involves more effort than cutting or peeling a piece of cotton or rayon and stuffing it in a coil. Personally, I'm pleased with the results that this approach yields. So much so that it has changed how I build both my coils and wicks for the time being. Like...

    Almost done: I need some suggestions for a post-dinner vape.

    OK, this is pretty funny (or spooky:blink:). Already sitting on the counter for a late addition: Grown by a family friend. And, yeah, they're pretty awesome. Can never have too many different pepper notes in a bowl of chili to suit my taste.
