    RBA -original or clone?

    Hi all, I am considering the Ehpro kayfun lite plus, the Russian 91, aqua clone and looking others. Because the originals are more expensive (although Russian 91 price is steep for a clone), and hard to find originals. Any suggestions out there? I am using Kanger mini pro and aerotak and small...

    Has anyone drilled out the air holes in aspire et or et-s?

    Sometimes the Aspire head start to give dry hits, then I draw on it with the air holes blocked off to suck more liquid into the coil. Which works ok, but I think the air holes may too small. I read about drilling out larger air holes in some tanks, and might try it. Do I need a special drill...

    burnt insulator in kanger coil - throw out?

    I recently started building coils for my protanks and evods, using 32g kanthal and cotton. I took 4 heads apart and noticed that one of the white insulators was burned on one side. If I reuse the burnt one, will it continue to have a burned taste? Or should I toss it? Thanks.

    testing ohms question

    When building a new coil, does it have to be tested with liquid on it, or can it be tested dry? I see videos where someone puts it on a battery to test dry, and I read somewhere else it needs to be wet. Thanks in advance!

    evod and 1.5 ohm coil head?

    Hi, I got some 1.5 ohm coil heads for evod because others were sold out. Actually I'm pretty happy with the 2.5 ohm coil it comes with. I vape it 3.7 - 4.3 volts. The 2.2 ohm may be great. Has anyone used the 1.5 coil heads and if so what do you pair it with? My lowest voltage device is 3.3...

    O-rings and gaskets for devices

    Hello all, I have 3 RBA's (Phoenix clone, Wyvern, Igo-S) that use very thin O-rings to keep the pieces together without leaking. Eyeballing them, they seem to have about 1.0 cm diameter. Does anyone know where I can replacements? I've looked at places like Home Depot, but can't find anything...

    unpleasant odors

    Are there particular e-liquids that leave minimal lingering odors? Any vape odor is better than burning tobacco, but I find that some juices tend to stink up the house. Are there any particular brands that minimize this problem? For example, although I like some Halo juices, some seem to have a...

    Spinner with stuck voltage dial

    I have a Volt spinner (808) that has been great until the dial got stuck. This probably happened when I dropped it. When I picked it up, it worked fine. Then a couple of days later when I tried to change voltage, the dial wouldn't,budge. I figure it landed upright on its end and got jammed...

    jet cigs - burning throat?

    I got a jet cigs starter kit and 3 flavors. The perique is good, but the apple medley and cuban mojito burn my throat really bad, and I don't mean throat hit. Has anyone else had this experience? I would like to know if it is a particular ingredient in those liquids I might be allergic to. I...

    Hello all, I have found that I really like dripping at home - igo-s, wyvern and phoenix clone with spinner 1300 mah batteries. Presently I have 2 of the spinner batteries.

    igo-s coil, use holes in posts?

    I just got an igo-s, but haven't yet placed a coil on it yet. Do you use the holes in the posts for grabbing the wire ends? Or do you wrap the ends around the tops of posts and tighten the screws to hold them on? I think I have seen both ways on youtube. It seems like if the post holes are used...

    Can atty get too hot?

    Hi, My first RBA is a phoenix clone, and I finally made a coil that is successful. Meters at about 1.9 ohms. After 2 days of breaking in, it works really good. Using epipesmod.com liquid and Spinner at 4.1 volts. But when I take 3 or 4 draws back-to-back, I notice the housing gets really hot...

    Any fixes for leaking mini vivi nova that I am not tried?

    I fill this mini vivi nova with 2 ml liquid (usually 80/20 or 70/30). It then proceeds to leak down the center post, so I blow it out until it stops leaking. By that time, the level is down to 1 ml. After the 1 ml leaks out it seems fine. Fixes I have tried: the center post was off center, so I...

    Store bought VG contents

    I would like to dilute some of my liquids because I'm getting too much nicotine before bedtime. I got "Humco glycerin skin protectant" at Walgreens and it has USP on the label, so I'm guessing it's ok. The active ingredient is 99.5% anhydrous glycerin, but does not say what the other 0.05% is...

    which clearos/tanks/cartos work with 100% VG juice?

    Hi all, I just ordered some juice from epipesmod.com, that I hear is VG or nearly 100% VG, and know that some things don't work with all VG liquids. Up til now (no smoke in 2 1/2 months), the juices I have tried are either 80/20 or 70/20. This is what I have: spinner 1300 mah battery mini vivi...

    burned taste clearomizer, is it ruined?

    I am using Kanger M3 (808) clearos and kanger e-smart clearos, and this happened with both. I read somewhere here that any clearo can be cleaned and dry burned, as long as you can see the coil. So I rinsed out well with warm water, let them dry out, and dry burned until I could see the coil...
