    What would you recommend? Compact 18650 vape needed

    Protank style MTL is hard to find really any MTL tanks anymore, drop in coil or rebuildable that is easily available without ordering online, Aspire, Innokin, and Kanger generally have held the line in that regard. Personally I use rebuildable Kayfun style tanks, though that is my style. Mod...

    0.45 ohm coils fused Clapton reading as 0.78 - 1.0 ohms

    Rating on the container for the coils is probably taking into account of using 2 per build on a deck. Using steam engine's wire wizard tool, a single coil using 28awg inner wire cores X2 and 32awg wrap wire both kanthal A1 (assumed), as the container claims, and seeing they have what looks like...

    could use all the help i can get

    Depending on how long you smoked and how many packs a day you smoked during that period, vaping just replaces the physical act and the nicotine only. You have to remember that tobacco leaf has many other natural alkaloids in it, as well as treated tobacco in a cigarette has a lot of chemicals...

    Rest in Peace Robino1

    *Sigh* Gloomy news matching the gloomy weather in my area this morning. Sad, sad news, was always nice to see her bright and most times optimistic comments. Thoughts and prayers for those she leaves behind heal well through their mourning. Be at peace gentle soul, in loving embrace of those...

    How do you define high end?

    JMHO, what a high end mod should be 1) Quality craftsmanship, the maker takes the time, caring, attention, and love/desire to express a work of "Pride and Passion" in what they are creating, this can apply to any product on the market outside of vape gear 2) Quality components. There are many...

    When to change your battries

    As @bombastinator stated, Mooch is a valuable wealth of battery knowledge, yet here are things to consider: 1) Batteries are not rated in lifespan by months or years, they are rated in charge cycles, the number of full charges the batteries can have done to them from 2.5v lowest charge to 4.2v...

    Beginner MTL coil buid.

    Follow up about the juice, the juice flavors are really not an issue, what you like to vape will generally run in any RDA/RDTA, as stated above your juice PG/VG ratio is the limiter. Me personally, though take note I live in the hot desert so ambient temperatures play a role here, during the...

    Beginner MTL coil buid.

    MTL is pretty simple, at least for me, I've run MTL style tanks like Kayfuns and Russian 91% tanks for years, just recently purchased a Vapefly Galaxies MTL tank, there is also a MTL Galaxies RDA, decks are both very much similar how the coils mount. Kayfuns and such are all very similar as...

    Voopoo Drag

    The lag you are experiencing is the mod awakening from sleep mode just like a computer, true the power may be on, but low power mode to conserve battery, when awakened it still does a POST (Power On Self-System Test) of its components, last to awaken is the screen display, then the power output...

    Couple of general questions

    1) Heat issue. Yes if you chain vape, the liquid and the device you are using are going to heat up, the more powerful the device, the hotter things get. Examples, a Mouth To Lung (MTL) low powered device (similar to smoking a cigarette in draw style) at about 8 watts will gradually get warmer...

    What Battery To Choose From

    EU, you'll probably get better service from a good EU vendor. www.nkon.nl (Netherlands) would probably be your best bet as they should be able to ship via ground relatively quickly to Norway. Check @Mooch 's blog, look at his battery break down charts, should have other reputable vendors in EU...

    Marrying batteries

    Well, several points to mention to help you understand a bit more. 1) Marrying batteries - Like marrying a spouse IRL, with batteries, when you marry them into a set, the rules of thumb are as follows (example scenario, a 3 battery mod) A) Same Manufacturer - example say LG, all in the set have...

    Is MTL less juice-consuming than DTL?

    MTL is very juice efficient when compared to DTL. One major contributing factor is MTL tanks/atomizers operate generally in the 1.0 to 1.2ohm resistance or higher rating with thinner wire, generally 28awg or thinner, which has less metal mass and more resistance per foot than thicker wire, this...

    So, how do you carry your mod around?

    I carry several mods/units with me most of the time. Rarely do I carry spare loose charged batteries, so either in the units I have on hand with me, or the rare occasion I'm carrying spare batteries they are in a 2 or 4 bay plastic battery case like mentioned above. I wear cargo pants at work...

    Varying Resistance

    Does metal increase resistance (talking the actual wire and metal it is made of), the answer is yes in these instances. 1) This first mainly is seen and used with Temperature Control Mode. All metals, that I know of, as power and heat are applied, the resistance in the metal increases with...

    mesh vs coil question

    Agree with @vapdivrr and @bombastinator back in the early heyday of SS Mesh, you got a Genesis SS wick tank running perfectly it was a beautiful vape in MTL and with a little more fidgeting could get a Genny into the DTL sub-ohm range, wasn't a clouding sub-ohm vape but a flavor chasers dream...

    Parallels?

    Have to remember with electricity there are 2 main types of circuits, series and parallel. In coil placement and type of coils made, if you make 2 coils in series (one after the other on the same circuit line) resistance is doubled if the two coils are identical, you gain 2x the surface area...

    is it bad coils, or is it me?

    There are a lot of RDA's out there, and quite a few for a little extra $$ at purchase can be converted to Bottom Feeding (Squonking) or come with the extra pin itself. I've recently purchased a Vandy Vape Mesh RDA, single coil, takes some getting used to wicking it tightly, but oh what a vape...
