    New Mod

    Are you telling us or asking us?? If you already have this device then I hope you have a good battery in it. The best way to tell what battery to use is to figure out the current draw and get a battery that can handle at least 4 to 5 more amps than that. Current draw = 4.2 / coil resistance...

    Resistance / Coil gauge / Heat - Newbie Question

    When you have a higher resistance coil you have a longer length of wire. You'll have less wattage per inch so the heat at any one point is less. 23 watts is 23 watts whether it's into .5 ohms or 1.6 ohms. I think you've found your answer in the higher ohm load. This is easier these days with...

    E-juice leakage...

    intheshade is correct. since the liquid won't be sitting on the coil when it's upside down. When I first started vaping it was in the summer and I work inside so I'd go from air conditioning outside into 90 degree heat and it would be flooded by the time I got in my car.

    E-juice leakage...

    shouldn't cause any problems as long as you clean it off. Leaking usually happens from pressure build up in the tank. I find that it happens when going between different temperatures quickly. Try not letting your tank get too low as more air inside will allow greater pressure change. When you...

    Kanger MOW.

    It's probably stands for something that was badly translated from Chinese to English

    Need some help/advice.

    For the 2 that you mention it's more up to aesthetics than anything. The power specs are the same on both. The eleaf has a built in battery (2200mAh) and the ipv uses 18650s so that might sway you one way or the other. The eleaf battery will eventually go bad and the unit will be a brick (like...

    Kayfun lite plus and chain vaping

    Do like jockamo said and make the wick long and lay it the length of the deck. The best length for this is to put your wick through the coil then grab a side and take it down the edge of the device and cut it there (it should be going down at an angle, don't pull it straight out and eye it up)...

    Carto Tank Newbie

    couple of answers: 7. Opening the holes up will let more fluid into the carto when hitting it. Opening too much can cause it to flood. The draw of air comes from a hole in the base of the carto. You could try stretching that hole out a little bit. Be careful since the coil is attached there...

    Kayfun build suggestions??? (also boxmods-maybe?)

    Those are some cool coils. I run mine on an MVP so I couldn't possibly think of doing either one. Maybe if I get a shiny new mech for the holidays though.

    How much do you spend on vaping every month?

    Me either. Haven't bought anything since around March. Been DIYing juice and have enough Kanthal and cotton for about 5 years. You can save money if you don't get sucked into buying every new toy that you see.

    Why so little being said about YiHi SX mini?

    Probably one reason. Don't know if this is the first batch or not. From the website: *THIS IS A PREORDER, AND ESTIMATED SHIPPING DATE IS December 19th, 2014* USA AND CANADA ONLY FOR THIS BATCH* - EDIT: This is for the second batch so there's probably not many out there.

    Kanger coil rebuild flooding issues

    I used to have the same problem. If you don't put a flavor wick on top of the coil then there's a gap there for liquid to rush in. Make a flavor wick with cotton and put it on top of the coil and cut it to the same length as the coils wick.

    My favorite juice burns through coils. What to do?

    It's not burning through coils but gunking them up. Here's a vid on dry burning your coils to clean them. Don't let them get to glowing for too long or you can risk burning the rubber piece underneath. You don't need to soak it in water like this guy before you burn it. It takes much longer when...

    charging many batteries,strange smell

    Ya, feel the batteries and make sure they're just warm. It's probably the smell of warm electronics if you have a bunch of chargers going in a small area.

    How much water is possible?

    Interested in your results. I'm guessing your vapor production will be lacking.

    Vaping Boba's Bounty

    You could. You can get 100 feet of Kanthal for the same price and just wrap your own. I believe you said you have an MVP. You can use that to test the resistance of your coils

    How do people like the mvp 2?

    I have a 1.5 ohm on mine right now using a Kayfun. I've done as low as 1.3 ohms. I've put a dripper on it before for taste testing juice mixes. Same coil resistance. It's about the same experience as a Kayfun at that power level

    Rebuildable experience

    I agree with readeuler as far as the amount of wick. I've seen many pictures just like this and the solution is always less wick and let the deck supply the juice. That much wick and juice can rob the coil of heat also.
