First temp control device... What to get?
The amount of power needed is more dependent on the coil diameter and surface area than it is the resistance (the size of the coil will determine the heat flux and heat capacity). 60 watts should be plenty for most nickel builds. You will probably the temp limit long before you use those 60... -
IPV D2 announced.
Yeah that's my fault. I said HG4. It is supposed to be HG2. Sorry about that. Illumn carries them but were back ordered last time I checked. Also, you can look into the Samsung 30Q. It is 3000mAh, rated at 15a continuous (but is really a 20A continuous battery). They should be easier to... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
I suppose it depends on what you mean by dry burning. Titanium should be able to handle a certain degree of heat without catching fire. Is it a good idea to throw 100 watts at a dry coil for 5 seconds? Probably not. But I doubt there would be an issue pulsing 10 watts through it for 1-2... -
TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance
That would work unless you live in the mountains. ;) Also NiFe seems gimmicky to me. From the name, it looks like a Nickel and Iron alloy. For those of us wanting to avoid nickel, it's a non-starter. Moreover, the Iron would almost certainly make it not as good for temp control compared... -
IPV D2 announced.
You should definitely get some LG HG4's (not to be confused with the HE4). They are 3000 mAh and 20 amp continuous. Same power as a 25R with noticeably more capacity. And based on the tests I have seen they are genuinely 20 amp continuous and 3000 mAh. Only problem with this battery is they... -
IPV D2 announced.
Depends on the battery mAh. A Samsung 25-R will last me about half a day (a good 4-5 hours). And I am a pretty heavy vaper (though I don't exceed 20 watts). I am puffing on my setup almost constantly. An LG HG2 (3000 mAh) will last me an hour or two longer (maybe 6-7 hours). It just... -
Titanium wire, vaping and safety
The only thing that concerns me about that wire is this: This is apparently to get rid of the "matte finish" and to make the wire shiny. I wish there was a place that sold Ti wire without this so-called "matte finish." (What is this finish, anyway?) -
IPV D2 announced.
Anyone running titanium on this mod? What is the resistance range allowed for Ti? -
Titanium wire, vaping and safety
So for us Yanks, what is the consensus place to buy Ti Grade 1 wire? -
australia bans vaping in cars december 1st 2015
Australia, just like the U.S., has become a nanny state insane asylum. They are ahead of us in the U.S., but we aren't far behind.- BigEgo

IPV D2 announced.
Got my D2 in today. I was shocked at how small it is. The video reviews always make a mod look larger than it is. First impressions: Feels sturdy, well constructed, has a nice bright screen, and comes with a nice sleeve. Only used Kanthal on it so far as my nickel wire is still in the mail... -
Looking for The Right RTA
Thanks for the replies. I will look into the aromamizer and the Cthulhu v2. I do like the subtanks just fine, but the leaking is getting annoying. If I stuff it with cotton, it dry hits. If I lay cotton just at the top of the deck, it leaks. I really wish all RTA manufacturers would... -
Looking for The Right RTA
I've been using primarily Kanger Subtank Mini's for a while now. But since there has been a slough of new RTA's released, I figured I might upgrade. I am more or less happy with the performance of the subtank, but since I modified the deck (I dremeled it), it leaks. Yes, the dry hits are... -
Kanger Subox Reverse Polarity Issue
So, my mother has a Subox (Kbox mini and Subtank) kit. I gave her some LG HG2 (authentic from Illum) batteries to use in it. These are 3000 mAh 20 amp batteries. In any case, I was checking out her mod, took the case off and looked at the battery. I noticed there was a pit (or a hole) about... -
IPV D2 announced.
So now that lots of people have been using these for a bit, how is the battery life in temp mode? I vape about 10 mL a day. -
Flavors that may contain Diacetyl, are there really this many?
Where did you get this info? I can find no such mention of diketones anywhere on their website.- BigEgo

New analysis of smoking and schizophrenia suggests causal link
I don't buy it. Schizophrenia research isn't new and it's been pretty well established there is a strong genetic component (like with many mental illnesses). I find it hard to believe that smoking is a cause and I doubt the research shows that. It could be that teenage smoking might affect...- BigEgo

how does TC work really
It might not be feasible with the size constraints we have to work with in our attys, but in theory you could build a coil that could easily handle 150w without getting any hotter than a standard 1.5 ohm kanthal build. Remember, no matter how many watts are hitting the coil, the temperature... -

how does TC work really
You can get the same clouds with a TC device if you have a high wattage TC device (like the DNA 200). More watts doesn't necessarily mean a higher temperature if you have the correct build.
