    keep popping coil

    Sorry, I don't get over here as much as I would like. The thread that Ryedan provided is good recommended reading for micro-coils. The benefits to micros: 1. Use use more wraps of a lower gauge, thicker wire, which would help with your coil-pop issues. 2. You can get great vapor out of a higher...

    keep popping coil

    Hitting .6 ohms with 30awg is not the same as hitting .6 with 28awg. 30awg is thinner, and higher resistance per inch. This concentrates the heat to a more localized area, for lack of a better way to phrase it. Think of it this way, if you apply the same voltage to 2 coils (4.0v, we'll say), one...

    Revolver Talon Help

    When you say "cartridges", do you mean "cartomizers"? as in the silver colored things that go in the tanks like this: or The little plastic tanks that go in the tip of the atomizer like this (these are actually called cartridges):

    Revolver Talon Help

    Yes, it's basically the same. I noticed that you're just over in Toledo, so you might also wanna try calling the Monroe, MI Revolver. He's got the same items that the Toledo store has, but each store keeps their own inventory, so he might have the items you are looking for. Also, Bill (the...

    What's the future of the Reo?

    I'm new to the reoverse. I think my Reo is the most boring, most pedestrian, least exciting mod I have... It's also the most useful, most practical, and toughest one I have, as well! It's the "Chevy work truck" of e-cigs, and the only one that goes everywhere with me. I think it's pretty good as...

    Easy bottom feed modification for the Phoenix v4 (ERA clone) RBA

    I just got the A6 dual coil in vape-mail today, and I converted it in the same way. I drilled thru the insulator with a 1/32 dremel drill bit in 4 places. It feeds awesome, and vapes like a champ! Rocking 2x 1.7 ohm coils for a total of .85 ohms, (the coils are 6 turns of 30awg kanthal on a...

    Cutting a 45mm Phoenix Raven cartomizer to fit standard 35mm tanks?

    You could always get a mod-stand, and store your mods up-side-down... It sounds ludicrous at first, but it should work well.

    Easy bottom feed modification for the Phoenix v4 (ERA clone) RBA

    Well, it's good to know it can be converted! I'm excited to get this... I've already figured out the number of wraps I wanna use, and everything! I picked up a Stingray open-bottom as well. It's one of my favorite atomizers, and it's ABOUT TIME they offered an open bottom for us bottom feeder...

    Easy bottom feed modification for the Phoenix v4 (ERA clone) RBA

    For my next trick, lets see if THIS can be converted in the same method! It looks like a dual coil version of the A6. Ordered this from The House of Vapor for about $15. If it CAN'T be converted, oh well, I have a cool new rebuildable dripper.... :tongue:

    Just For LM2596 Users

    LM2596 boards: 1. Cheap as heck... $2 each from fasttech, or $1.50 each on ebay! (in lots for 5 or 10) 2. They work extremely well 3. The circuit is already designed and built. It's almost a drop-in Boost boards: 1. the ones in a similar price range to the LM2596 simply don't work well...

    Just For LM2596 Users

    No, these will pretty much work with anything that can support the amp draw... Nicads, NiMH, car batteries, sealed acid gel cells, high amp fixed dc power supplies, larger solar arrays, ect. You just need to make sure that whatever source you choose to power this is at least 1.5 volts more than...

    Are you talking about using a tactile switch with LM2596 regulator boards, or like, using a MOSFET so you can use a tactile switch on straight battery mods?

    Easy bottom feed modification for the Phoenix v4 (ERA clone) RBA

    I just got my Reo Grand a few days ago. I had one of these atties laying around, and to be honest, before I discovered bottom feeders, I wasn't impressed. It just kinda sat in my tank rack. I saw this post, and gave it a whirl... It's pretty amazing! way better than the A7 I was using! Thanks guys!

    Just For LM2596 Users

    It's weird... it could just be a "one off". I should grab some alligator clip jumpers, and throw the other 9 all on a breadboard, but I don't know when I'l get around to it. To be honest, I wasn't that broken up about soldering in a resistor. They are something I have on hand. It just would have...

    Just For LM2596 Users

    I ordered a 10 pack of these when I saw this post. I had been doing the "lift pin 5" trick previously on fasttech 2596 boards. I got these in, and they were a TAD bit bigger then the boards I have been using, but I figured it was a small price to pay to not have to lift pin 5. Now mind you, I've...

    Guys - how do you carry around your e-cig and supplies

    My daughters favorite place in the world is a store near our house that sells new, used and vintage video games. I took her there today, and found my new vape-case in the used portable game case section. It's AWESOME! in a previous life, it was meant to carry around a GameBoy Advance SP, But...

    the kick

    I bought a kick from nhaler about 2 weeks ago, and just got a "Bam!" for it 2 days ago at the MI VapeXpo. The only real complaint I have is that one of the circuit boards had a small protrusion that made it hard to fit into the Bam's "kickring". 30 seconds with an emeryboard fixed it. I'm...
