    Capitulation is seldom a sound strategy…

    We'll take what we can get was never a winning philosophical approach for this community or industry. Certainly not for us as individuals. Sadly, we may now see the impact of its prevalence. We should have chosen more, not less (and everywhere in-between). We ALWAYS had a right to make our own...

    Comment by 'MacTechVpr' in 'How about a compromise? Tensioned twisted-lead parallels!'

    Darryl there's no picture guided tutorial on how to make tensioned twised-lead parallels. I wish more peeps would be bold enough to post pictorials on their tensioned successes. But I did write up a good description and some shots of an inexpensive aid that seems to be missing from the toolkit...

    How about a compromise? Tensioned twisted-lead parallels!

    Rudy, howyabeen? Real good question. Behind the scenes of promoting tension as a tool for beginners my favorite wind for flavor elsewhere has been twisted pair. I vape tanks up to 2.2Ω and drippers down to .22Ω but like you I'm definitely a vapor density chaser. Not happy if I can't have both...

    Comment by 'MacTechVpr' in 'Kanger Protank Aero Airflow Base'

    I have sampled the v2 (large single hole) which are still available in some places. Almost the same as drilling out the 3-hole original to the max. 1/16". However, it is far and away smoother. It seems the interior shape of the base has been improved for flow. The important thing here is that it...

    What is a tensioned micro coil?

    Carto's are great. Apart from their reliability and sheer no-fuss (relatively) practicality there's something about that mild consistent vape that's very satisfying. I still have quite a few tanks and supplies on hand. Set one up now and again. There are qualities in some juices that I just...

    Silicone grommets a comprehensive solution to flavor?

    Well I appreciate that observation on the flaring because it's been a seriously annoying problem with both the original and aftermarket replacements I've found. But since I realized the significant likelihood of 510 shorts with incidental ground and moisture faults I haven't experienced the...

    The Minimalist's Tensioned Contact (Micro) Coil

    Tim, the point is if you wind with tension they do not unwind. The tension is like that in a torsion screen door spring. If your coil unwrapped (except for your starting turn) when you released tension you did not reach the point of natural adhesion. Not enough tension was applied. The coil will...

    Kanger Protank Aero Airflow Base

    I've just concluded a week-long study of several of the following… KangerTech AeroTank Base which I've passed along the suite of PT1, 1.5 + 2 I use personally and for wick/coil testing. Although I was exceptionally skeptical that something that could constrain the already miserly and...

    Etymology of the word/s Micro Coil (microcoil) for vaping…

    Jerms…your above statement is both TRUE and NOT TRUE. A problem. And the folks still making videos with hand-over-hand winds calling them microcoils give me fits for baffling those trying to get things to work. But it's not that to dismiss the use of the term for one size variant or another is...

    Blow out the wick ends!

    I've found a good way to max the life of coil heads on clearo's with exposed bottom wicks, like Kanger's, is to purge the wick often. At every tank fill or top-off, or whenever draw or flavor seems muted, first check the 510 connection on the batt for seepage from the atomizer. Dry the battery...
