    Rbas on vv device vs mech

    aren't mechanicals limited to about 3.7V? it's basically just a battery, a switch, and a pretty battery housing, right? so if you've got a 1.5ohm coil, assuming resistance doesn't change too terribly much as wire temperature rises (which being a newbie i could be totally wrong about), you're...

    Kanger Protank question

    just took a set of calipers to the burnt one's wire, which reads 6 mil diameter, so it's probably 34 AWG, with 5.5 turns around the wick.

    Kanger Protank question

    ok, watched a video. i don't have a fancy 510/ego connector ohmmeter like the video guy did, but i figure a 4-wire resistance measurement with one of my uber lab bench system dmm's should do. (unless, of course, the coil resistance must be measured with significant current going through it, in...

    Kanger Protank question

    I got a Protank from Fasttech about 10 days ago. Using it with an Itaste v3.0 VV/VW battery. And it seems like no matter what voltage or wattage setting I use, no matter how low I go, it has a slight burnt flavor to it that I am not getting with an iClear 16 or a Vivi Nova V4, or even a CE4...

    NoOb PoSt - revisited, 25 days later.

    And thank you to all of you who gave me advice in the original thread, and all the fine FAQs, and, well, ALL of you crazy vapers!

    NoOb PoSt - revisited, 25 days later.

    (Original "BEFORE" thread is http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/443989-noob-post-lets-see-if-i-have-right-hopefully-not-duplicate.html) Ok, then. 25 days later. I got my stuff from Fasttech 10 days ago. There are exactly 4 new cigarette butts in the ashtray since...

    well hi there! apparently, i missed this. poo on me. LOVE my itaste vw. LOVE vaping. still have a pack of cigs sitting in front of me, and one very lonely stubbed out cig in the ashtray that had one draw taken on it 4 days ago and immediately put out it tasted so NASTY. LOL

    Should I shake my new e-liquids?

    i'm new to this, but being the mad scientist engineer, i realized right fast that a little heat could go a long way to flavor melding. what i'm using is a clay based hot/cold pack you buy at any drug store, like CVS or a Walmart, microwave it according to the directions (50 seconds for mine)...

    NoOb PoSt - let's see if I have this right (and hopefully not a duplicate...)

    Fair enough. One thing at a time, then. And thank you. :) Could I ask what exactly is going to happen in October? Is there some looming FDA event scheduled?

    NoOb PoSt - let's see if I have this right (and hopefully not a duplicate...)

    Ok, I'm sold on two batteries. The one you just recommended brings up two questions. First, it is VV but not VW. Does this really matter? Please excuse my annoying tendency to dip into electronics, but the only reason we would need VW is if the coil resistance changes significantly as it...

    NoOb PoSt - let's see if I have this right (and hopefully not a duplicate...)

    Ok, let me see if I'm understanding you. What you are saying is that, though it may be nice to have a fancy battery, what might be more important to focus on for a good vaping experience (besides the actual juice itself) is the thing that holds, heats, vaporizes, and delivers the juice into to...

    NoOb PoSt - let's see if I have this right (and hopefully not a duplicate...)

    considering i've spent about $40 on disposable e-cigs already, which seemed to work, and that im not afraid to drop $100 bucks on something that looks really promising, VW seemed like the way to go. (i HAVE vaped before, just not nicotine...) if i can get a workable VW for the price i found...

    excellent! brand names only from fasttech, pyrex rebuild-able tank for future use, backups of everything all noted. and if i'm only using 5mL a day, it's even cheaper. yay! :)

    NoOb PoSt - let's see if I have this right (and hopefully not a duplicate...)

    I'm sick of smoke, and all the health & social negatives it engenders. So I find myself here, as I am definitly, long-time addicted to nicotine and the whole "put the little thing in your mouth and suck" (!!) thing. I've been smoking a pack and a half a day of these mini-cigar things...
