    IPV D2 announced.

    How does the base resistance compare between the IPV D2 and the Evic when using the same atomizer with the same coil?

    Need honest opinions.....

    ecig.com had the crown tank for less than $20 the other day.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    I have tried using a toothbrush and water. It does nothing. Gunk is too strong. What kind of brush are you using?

    What has happened to P. Busardo?

    His opinion wouldn't bother me if he didn't have a conflict of interest. "Anarchist wire" is a product developed by one of his friends and he is constantly pushing it. The funny thing is that it is nothing but Nichrome80, which is 80% nickel. So, he rails against nickel but pushes a product...

    eVic-VT mini?

    Drik Oberhaus tested it with a thermocouple and he says it's the most accurate TC device in its class.

    What has happened to P. Busardo?

    I have no doubt that all of our metal wires (no matter what kind) are probably leaching to some degree and various studies have found metals in e-cig vapor. But so far, the amounts found are of no concern because they are below the USP safety limits. Certainly the really nasty stuff in nickel...

    What has happened to P. Busardo?

    Well to be fair, he did give the DNA-40 a thumbs down and mentioned how he was sorry he had to do it because of his friendship with Evolv. I agree. I just watch reviews as a sort of demonstration of the product, it's features, etc.

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Yeah it's unfortunate because these mods make the cotton burn test useless and make it impossible to use a thermocouple to get temp readings on a dry coil. I've seen a reviewer who claimed the D2 was 30F low on it's temperature accuracy, but he fails to realize that when using a dry coil, it is...

    Titanium wire, vaping and safety

    Both. You can test it yourself. Somehow the chip realizes when the coil is dry and will cut power. It's not like the DNA-40 which would always fire at the set temp no matter if the coil was dry or not. I believe the SX Mini M class was the first board that did this.

    The IPV D2 won't allow you to burn the cotton in TC mode, no matter if you set it to 600F. A lot of the chips now are doing this.

    Lung cancer?

    No one knows yet. I would say it's safer not to vape than to vape, but it's also certainly safer to vape than to smoke. I think the vaping industry will move more toward safety in the coming years. Temp control (a big step forward) is already here. Next I can see more examinations of...

    What has happened to P. Busardo?

    Phil said in his last video he is going to Italy (may be there now, don't know) so reviews would be on hold for a little while. And, yes, his trip to Italy is e-cig related (going to visit Flavourart's facilities). Interestingly, I heard Phil give an interview about a month ago on someone...

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    That sucks. I wonder if a DNA-40 chip would fit inside the enclosure. I really like the fit and finish of the mod.

    If it has Ti mode and a decent screen, it would be on my wishlist.

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    My Kooper consistently reads .02 lower than my IPV-D2. Example: 0.173 vs. 0.192. And yes that little difference makes a pretty substantial difference in vape temp (at least 20-30 degrees based on feel).

    Smok Koopor Mini 60w

    Can anyone do a resistance reading comparison on the same coil between the Koopor and another mod? Mine seems to read a bit higher than my IPVD2 on any coil I try.
