    Taking vape on a plane

    What they said... I travel all the time with my gear and juice and have never had a problem. It has been my experience that TSA is well aware of vaping gear and juice at this point so they don't even bat an eye as long as you follow the liquid rules (3oz bottles, quart sized ziplock, etc.). I...

    mech mods

    Wasn't trying to blame anything on Rip at all, just seems every time I hear a new vaper go off about cloud chasing he is bragging about some killer Rip Tripper build he just put in his brand new RDA.

    mech mods

    OK, I'm starting to get confused by all the recent reports of mods blowing up or venting. Even six months ago there were no stories like this, at least none that I had heard of. What is causing this recent rash of mishaps? Can't help but think it is the builds that common today that used to...

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Vaped on it some more today, I'm starting to think larger coils could be the answer as the wicking would be better/faster. One of the problems I have with it is that I have to squonk it like every hit, at least every other, and that is not the case with the other RDAs I use. I'll try that...

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Honestly Beck, I think it is just a matter of taste. The builds come out exactly as expected and it vapes well, just wonder if I haven't hit the sweet spot yet. The way everyone raves about these I figure I must be missing something or it is just a matter of my tastes, I would pick my Cyclone...

    Daaaaang....why can't I ever be excited about the cheap stuff? lol.... Very nice looking mods, may just have to get on this list too ;-).

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Well, I've moved the coils in close, out far, down low, up high, haven't noticed much of a difference except for throat hit. Right now have it built centered all the way around and it is vaping well just not part the clouds for light from heaven well. Your coils seem higher but that just...

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Yup, good points in that thread for sure. I'll have to try dropping my builds on the Nuppin and see how that goes, don't think I've gone below about .4 as of yet.

    And how do she do?

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Nice looking build, what wire did you use there and what was the final resistance of the build? I have been playing with all sorts of builds, currently twisted 28 duals, in the Nuppin looking for the perfect vape.

    Gizmo wire coiling jig

    Hmmm, maybe I got a different deluxe kit. I know with mine I use the smallest and the next size up for coils and they both work great. Could use the larger rods for mondo coils I guess but I don't use coils of that diameter personally.

    What makes this mech mod, Worth as much as a high end regulated PV

    I imagine you are correct, very few have experience with design for economic manufacturing which is also part of the problem. My point is that writing the cost of the authentic off as nothing more than greed is completely foolish. But, as far as design goes, keep in mind that without...

    What makes this mech mod, Worth as much as a high end regulated PV

    There are way too many factors to go over here that justify the high price of authentic mods, several have already been mentioned but others that are very important are design costs, materials used, machining details and costs, and the fact that the designer may have say $100K into the mod...

    Well, my mechanical mod went BOOM.

    Makes sound theoretical sense but there is more at work here than just continuous discharge. If heat weren't a factor and didn't come into play I would agree.

    Well, my mechanical mod went BOOM.

    I agree entirely, the venting is another issue all together.

    Well, my mechanical mod went BOOM.

    Doesn't matter if it was a fake battery or not, doesn't matter if it was a .2 or 3.5ohm build... If you put a mech mod into auto-fire and leave it eventually the battery will be overtaxed and run away, period.

    Koh Gen Do source at a decent price?

    DermStore for me but have to get off their mailing list ... lol.

    Well, my mechanical mod went BOOM.

    I don't even know what to say about all of this. No idea how a mod that is visibly venting from the button, vent holes, RDA, could build up enough pressure to actually explode but I guess it's possible. Personally I keep almost all of my builds at .5 or higher but with the scenario described...

    Battery getting hot hot hot.

    You absolutely must rewrap those batteries if you intend to use them again and make sure you get the sleeves that wrap around to cover a little of the flat bottom neg end of the battery as well. I do not have experience with the batteries you describe but know that until the VTCs came on the...

    Wondering if vaping is the reason for my stomach cramps

    I for one went through the same things you mentioned in your original post when I started vaping but it was only with certain juices. In fact, there are juices that I vape that even a year later will "affect" my body differently than others. I know many here will say that it isn't possible...
