Sick of people stigmatising vaping
It's hard to do when the FDA people are so skeptical of anything containing nicotine. They are not bad people, but their knee-jerk reaction is "Oh it must be another trick by Phillip Morris." They are simply ignorant, which is too bad. Also, they let their concern for "kids vaping" get in the...- BigEgo

Wow. Remember that guy rip?
It's so funny to watch 2010-2012ish Rip videos where he was just a normal dude sitting behind his computer screen, talking slowly and calmly (kinda boring actually). At some point he obviously "decided" he needed to invent a new persona for some views. It worked. He will probably be the first...- BigEgo

Can You Explain Temp Control Vaping to an Old Fart ?
I am sure dozens of others have already answered, but here goes. Will be the same as any other mod with a circuit board inside it. How durable it is will depend on the enclosure, not the board. Evolv DNA chips are the best (made in Ohio), but there are some very good boards out there from...- BigEgo

Ceramic coils may be unsafe?
I tried Vaperesso's ceramic coils when they first came out a couple years ago. I tasted a very strong hint of what I can only describe as a type of talcum powder. I changed the coil to another one, and yep, got the same taste. The odor/flavor was strong, so strong that it dwarfed the flavor...- BigEgo

New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers
I know this is an old thread, but I would like to say that the only variable we need is coil temp. I am glad some e-cig researchers are finally figuring this out. However, not all have. I read a paper published this year where the researchers were going on and on about wattage and resistance...- BigEgo

GeekVape Zeus RTA
I would like to amend my review (on the previous page). I said the flavor was "meh" - not great but not bad. I will revise that. The truth is that it depends on the coil. I wasn't impressed with the included braided coils and I wasn't impressed with my simple 7 wrap Ti temp control coil... -
Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis
I agree. I wont be watching anymore of Vic's reviews. His snarky "I hate Yanks" attitude is a huge turn-off. (If you're from the UK, can you please stop bashing us Yanks already -- we get it, you're ...... about 1776). BTW, Brewdawg, I am still salty that your dawgs put a whipping on my AU... -
Voopoo (Gene Chip) TCR Conversion Chart
I've seen reviews by Phil and others and they said the temps were fairly accurate out of the box. No mention of funky TCR conversions being necessary. Even though I haven't measure it with a thermocouple, my experience is the same. It feels about like a DNA-200 (which I also own) as far as... -
Ares, new MTL RTA designed by Phil Busardo and Dimitirs Agrafiotis
Not sure if it's been covered (probably has), but what's everyone's opinion of Phil going off on the vape reviewer "Vic" (from Scotland) who gave the Ares a scathing review? Grumpy Phil came out and wasn't too happy in the comments on Vic's channel. I think Vic has a personal axe to grind (I... -
GeekVape Zeus RTA
Got mine a couple days ago from MVS. Here's my quick review. Pros: 1) Great looking tank. Definitely the best looking I've owned. (I got the black one). 2) Three drip tips provided to suit most people's style. 3) Included are a boat load of different colored o-rings, screws, a screwdriver... -
TC Tinkering
As was said already, are you sure that your wire is NiFe70? Watts and Joules are the same thing as far as our mods are concerned. Yihi uses Joules to avoid Evolv's variable wattage patents. It does the same thing, though. The mod reads the resistance of all the coils and treats them as... -
What temperature do you vape on?
420-450F for me. I saturate my wick manually and then plug my DNA-200 into escribe and take a hit. I watch the temperature that my (saturated) wick "equalizes" at. Typically in a tank, the wick will not be that saturated all the time, so I usually up the temp about 20° or so to compensate... -
Smok alien wont connect
It's on their own website. Version "A" and version "B." Version B has a new MCU (microcontroller unit) inside. Now, they don't say "version A is faulty" but of course they wouldn't do that anyway. But ask yourself WHY they decided to switch MCU's on these devices if version A wasn't in some... -
Smok alien wont connect
They didn't release two versions. Version A is apparently faulty so they changed out one piece of hardware on the board. Instead of recalling version A, they just said screw it and released version B with the newer hardware. This is typical of China, but it is what it is. -
Smok Baby Beast RBA (and TC)
Did your screwing and tapping (what she said) fix your problems? Did you get the resistance in line? -
Smok Baby Beast RBA (and TC)
Anyone have the Smok baby beast RBA? If so have you tried to use TC wire in it? I cannot get an accurate ohm reading on either my DNA-200 or my Smok Alien. Moreover, my DNA-200 will not read either my SS or Ti coils in TC mode (kicks it out of TC immediately). I have checked and double... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
Have you tried to order from TEMCo? They carry annealed Titanium wire that is supposed to be softer than the tempered stuff that most people carry. I haven't tried it as I'm still using my Ti from Unkamen and happy (though it is a bit springy). TEMCo Titanium Wire Grade 1 Non-Resistance AWG... -
Eleaf iStick 100w TC
I've had my white one since they first hit the shelves and there is not a scratch on it. I use it every day for hours on end. Of course, I haven't dropped it, but I do constantly pick it up and set it down. I have yet to see any of the bottom paint rub off. -
To good to be true?
Provape is selling the P2 on their website for like $30 (were $200 when they came out). It looks like they are putting all their eggs in their very lackluster box mod (radius) that was just released. $200 for a non-TC box mod. Lulz.- BigEgo

Eleaf iStick 100w TC
The doors on mine are both tight and don't wiggle at all (and trust me, it would drive me nuts). I guess I am lucky.
