    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    Ditto on that request. I'm in need of 2.5mm & 3mm mandrels also. I'm in the states though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I'm always searching for that better vape and I love building coils. You know your a vapophile when your going through multiple 100ft spools of resistance wire and your inventory includes 20g, 22g, 24g, 25g, 26g, 27g, 28g, 29g, 30g & 32g Kanthal plus Nichrome80 in 22-24-26-28g. Lol Once I...

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    I have become a believer. After trial and error I'm starting to create some beautiful builds. The hardest part for me has been keeping the perfect tensioned coil undisturbed while tightening up the leads on the posts. Takes a lot of practice and patience that's for sure. Obviously the thicker...

    Max Wattage on Cartel?

    [emoji121][emoji121] Ryedan's post above is spot on concerning heat flux. Once you understand how to use it and knowing your preferred vaping heat flux it really takes your vaping experience to the next level. For me I started rebuilding coils using a mechanical mod and I had many frustrations...

    Max Wattage on Cartel?

    I'd say optimal vaping performance would be between 50-80 watts. Of course you can go higher if you want to but it's gonna get hot and you may start getting dry hits. Try using Steam Engine to help. http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RDA How Is The Derringer RDA On Vapor Production?

    I hear you on the hot drip tip, I stopped using metal tips for that exact reason. I like these Delrin 2 piece tips with airflow control. ( though I never use the airflow on it) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RDA How Is The Derringer RDA On Vapor Production?

    So I've heard great things about the Derringer RDA and I'm amused by its small size. I can already imagine how great flavor production will be with its small size but I'm wondering how vapor production will be? Cyclops style holes for airflow looks like there's plenty of variations to produce...

    Coil Placement Proximity To Airflow??

    I've seen different opinions but I'm wondering where to position the coil in proximity to airflow to produce the best vapor production? Some say position it as close to airflow as possible others say position it in the middle between posts and airflow so more air is flowing around that coil. I'd...

    What do you think of my setup?

    Build looks ok to me just make sure there's no cotton underneath the coil. As far as Japanese cotton goes I would recommend it. For me it's just easier to work with, it wicks Eliquid great and it's much easier to duplicate when rewicking. You can get a whole box with 60 pads for like $8-12...

    What do you think of my setup?

    Ok I'm assuming you used the 7/64 ID which on Steam Engine gives me .4 ohms. For a good heat flux between 200-300w/mm2 you'll want to vape it between 75-111 watts. Start at 75 watts up go up from there to find your sweet spot. Remember that inhale/exhale technique is important. Sent from my...

    What do you think of my setup?

    On my dual 25g build i like it around 70 watts (5.85v) which gives me a heat flux around 230w/mm2. For the dual 24g build I mentioned to you I would run it between 60-90 watts depending on your end result coil. I don't like a super hot vape I prefer it more on the cooler side. When you get...

    What do you think of my setup?

    I can also vouch for Samsung 25R batteries, I just received two last week I purchased from Lightning Vapes. 2 pack for $14. I'm actually very impressed with them using on both my mech and IPV3. I've used them on .16 ohm build with no problems. Battery life is great and they don't get hot...

    What do you think of my setup?

    I think you need more surface area imo. Your coil setup and wicking looks ok just remember more coil surface area will create more vapor. I tend to have issues with dry hits vaping a small diameter coil 2mm ID, 24g setup like your using. The great thing about the IPV3 is that you have the...

    IPV3 + Mutation x v2. Suggest me a cloud chasing build using 26g.

    CasketWeaver I'd like to see this quad sleeper build you mentioned. Please post pictures. I've been interested in running quads in my Mutation v3 I'm just not sure how to set it up and wick it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IPV3 + Mutation x v2. Suggest me a cloud chasing build using 26g.

    I've only had my Mutation X V3 for a few days now and I'm getting the best clouds to date. Currently running dual 26g on 7/64 ID (2.78mm), 10.5 wraps at .68 ohms. I run it at 70-90 watts on my IPV3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    +1 for Temco when it comes to Kanthal. Super cheap and free shipping. $6-$10 for 100ft you can't beat it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cloud Chasing Inhale Technique Question????

    Quick question about inhale/exhale technique. I've seen a few people suggest that when inhaling whether a drip tip or chuff top to put your mouth around it loosely so that you take in some air from the outside to create denser vapor? Is this a technique others use to get denser/thicker vapor...

    Prebending Coil Leads.......Whats The Easiest Way??

    It's a small world as I'm a optometry technician myself though I haven't worked with glasses much. Thanks for the reply I'm going to search for those pliers they seem perfect how they have that slot in them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
