    5 years!

    5 years ago I made an unsuccessful attempt to stop smoking. I say unsuccessful because I caved in, in a bar. Instead of letting me light up a cigarette, a friend handed me his vape. My first ever vape. I haven't smoked since. Not once! Five whole years is a long time for a guy who didn't manage...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Did this thread die? Must resist the temptation to resurrect it. Failed! LoL Oh well. I got fed up of using SS - it's TC accuracy is too low with it's low flat TCR. So I ordered some 0.4mm Zirconium from zivipf.com. It's TCR wasn't listed on the site, so I used the one from steam engine (440)...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    I noticed that zivipf.com are selling SS430 now. I didn't notice it on there the last time I bought wire. I wonder if it's a new product for them? The last time I bought from them, I went for SS317L and it is pretty good, but the TCR is a bit flat. So I ordered some of their SS430 to see how it...

    Dicodes box mod coming soon.

    No. Calibration is to be done on your coil, not your cotton. The calibration needs to be done when the metal is at room temperature. It does not matter if you calibrate your coil with no cotton, dry cotton or wet cotton. The resistance will be the same in any event. Sent from my iPad using...

    Dicodes box mod coming soon.

    The purpose of it is to register the resistance of the coil when it is at its cold temperature. It therefore makes no difference if the cotton is wet or dry Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Eden Mods Rose 3

    OK, so I've had my Rose 3 for a while now. I've been running my normal build in it, which is .4mm NiFe48 with a TCR of 405, 9 wraps spaced 2mm coil, at 230 degrees at 22W on my Dicodes. The flavour is much more pronounced that any of the 17 atties I possess, and so I'm so very much impressed...

    Travel and Vaping How to take ecig through security?

    I travelled from the UK to Australia recently. I took a freshly wicked atty with no juice in it, 2 batteries in a clear plastic case, and a mod with no atty attached and no batteries inserted. These were all in my hand luggage. Juice was in my checked in hold luggage. I also took cotton and...

    No more TPD in the UK?

    The TPD has already been passed into UK law. Laws of course can be changed, but the fact is that the UK has not been through a review of it's laws for decades. That was the job of those in Brussels. I'm not saying it won't happen, it might, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Even so, the rest of...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Your best bet since you're from the UK, would be zivipf.de I selected .4mm there, as it is robust, and about 7 wraps of it gives you a resistance in the right range

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Dark times... I'm in a very sombre mood for you guys and I'm sorry. If there is anything us foreigners can do, please create a CTA with guidance for non-US folk. Just hope that this crap you're facing won't last

    Power mode or temp control? What's your preference?

    Primarily TC here. My preferred wire is NiFe48, 0.4mm. Running at 22W, with an 8 wrap spaced coil at 0.25 cold ohms at 250C|480F - I think the trick is you need an atty with plenty of airflow and a non-adjustable 510. I am a flavour junkie, and tuning the temperature for flavour gives you so...

    It was Red Astaire by T-Juice but I understand they recently took the colouring out, so it's clear now!

    Well, the recent monthly giveaway for the Calix V2 got me thinking I ought to upgrade my V1. The V2 upgrade kit arrived yesterday, and I installed it, and it's really transformed my Calix. The airflow is wonderful now, especially with mods that haven't got a lot of airflow up through the 510. It...

    TC beyond Ni200: Nickel Purity, Dicodes; Ti, SS, Resistherm NiFe30; Coefficient of Resistance

    Ah! It's not just me then! I got an awfully weak vape with CW SS430. My mate and I both tried it and came to the conclusion that particular wire isn't what it says it is. I never pursued it any further because a reel of NiFe48 came in from zivipf, and that stuff is great, with a TCR of 400
