    Am I missing anything?

    Bought a Hammond 1590b, a parallel 18650 sled, a 510 connector last week. They're being delivered sometime this coming week. I'm making a mechanical switch, so figured I didn't need a MOSFET. I just need a connection from the positive of the sled to the center of the 510 connector and a...

    DIY mech questions

    Looking at potentially making my own mech.... Possibly a box, unregulated.... Parallel 18650, I think.... In my browsing here, I see MOSFETs and side switches are the norm, why not the bottom, tube mech style? Parallel gets me the ability to build lower than a single mech, correct? Series...

    Glaucoma anyone?

    Just had my second eye exam where I was asked if I've been told about glaucoma because my pressures were in the higher end of normal range and my nerves look suspicious.... Scheduled more tests and a follow-up on things in a few weeks.... My first scare was 2009ish.... High pressure...

    Planning some builds....

    Just hand wrapped my first fused clapton over the weekend, have some future plans for some coils.... Pretty sure some have been done before, pretty sure some will flop.... Three core fused Clapton, allowing the cores to triangle rather than keeping them flat.... A hybrid fused Clapton, instead...

    First attempt at a clapton

    For some odd reason, I decided to try building a Clapton coil.... Wrapped 32g around some 26g.... Got just over 2" and did 4 wraps at 2mm ID.... Wow.... And to think I was dripping with 24 and 36 mg 6 months ago.... 6mg and it feels stronger than the 12 mg in my Cthulhu right now Edit...

    Getting that "upgrade" urge again

    Been using a 4nine copper mod since Jan this year, magnets are starting to weaken a bit.... Some random Google searches makes me think it'd be easier to buy a new mod than trying to replace the magnets.... I could always get a clone from FT, but I prefer going through local vendors, if...

    Slowly easing into DIY

    2 years into vaping and I'm about to start the DIY journey.... I have 125 ml of 100mg nic base at 25/75 pg/VG. Haven't decided on the final nic strength, shooting for something between 6 and 10mg/ml though. For ease of measurements and math, thinking I'll most likely go 10mg for the first...

    Parallel coils

    If I'm reading and understanding right, a parallel coil is a standard coil build but with two strands of wire side by side, correct? Is there any benefits in using different gauges for a single coil? Like one strand 32g and one strand 30g? A quick googling didn't bring up much info....

    Recommendation thread

    My current setup is adequate but a hassle when driving.... Looking for something comparable but simpler, more grab and go.... I have a 4nine copper and nimbus clone.... I typically run a 0.7-1.5 ohm setup depending on how much wire I want to work with when I do new coils.... I know I need to...

    pt2 mini-first attempt at coils

    Omg.... Got some 30g kanthal and 2 mm silica wick.... Did a decent wrap on a 1/16 bit, couldn't get the wick in.... unwrapped and moved to a 5/64, did 7 wraps I think it was, installed it and wicked with a flavor wick as well.... assembled the head, tested it, 2.5 ohms.... Hits like my...

    The wife asked me the change out the laundry since I was in the garage. ... I open the washer, see two bottles of liquid just sitting in there.... good thing she asked instead her finding them, could have been disastrous. ... They didn't open, doesn't look like they leaked, the load doesn't...

    bad luck?

    Discouraging, going to bed and I'll check back on this in the morning. ... This morning I noticed my carto seems to either be clogged or is finally going out after almost 2 weeks.... doesn't taste burnt or bad, some hits have less flavor and less visible vapor than others.... sad since I just...

    grrrr usps

    I do not know where my vapemail is.... it was supposed to be delivered today, tracking shows it left kent, wa on the 18th.... whatever roundabout-out of the way-nonsense path it takes from there to socal, I'm sure it stops at at least one location to be scanned for tracking and shouldn't be...

    thought it was interesting....

    Three months ago when I started vaping, the blu kits and njoy disposables were out in seperate stands by the cashiers at the shops on base here at Pendleton. Recently, they moved them inside the display with the rest of the tobacco products and at some, that meant they were hidden unless you...
