Thank you, LilWhiteClouder. As I said, I haven't done any reading in so long, I was confused by the warnings at their page. So I assume the vaporshark dna 166 is a regular 510?

Hello all, Been a long time since I done any reading and I need some help. About to order a new mod and I am seeing warnings at vapordna "Never use a short or flat 510 connection on any hybrid or hybrid style device." I am still vaping with my old Veritas rda and am wondering if I will have...

try playing around with wick density, spitback sometimes means you aren't using enough wicking material gl!

Here's another vote for spaced coils and going up in wire resistance. I personally like 28ga or 29ga, 12 to 14 wraps, spaced. G'luck

Looks great to me. There will always be some gunk. The advantage of TC to me is that I don't have to worry about keeping my wicks wet and it's easy to notice when performance decreases, without damaging the wicks or tasting horrible. I often vape the wicks nearly dry to switch flavors. After 3...

1 - Yes, that range would be safe. And depending on the build, wick type and airflow settings, you could probably push much higher. 2 - Kanthal is very popular and widely available. It's good advice IMO. There are other options you can explore further down the road if you choose to. 3 - Try to...

Awesome setup Randy! I know you have been searching for a good 2 posts rda for a while now. I been searching for one as well, and the Velocity had my attention, I just wish it had 'regular' screws instead of thru post holes. (excuse my poor grammar) :) Did you have any issues with connections...

many thanks for the article, I enjoyed it a lot. It answered many questions I had on the issue.

Thanks ECF, good luck to all!

In simple terms, resistance is based on wire gauge + length of wire used. It makes it easier to share builds if we count wraps for a given diameter. So people share their builds by naming how many wraps, wire gauge and rod diameter. cheers

in my experience burnt taste when using TC is normally a sign of a hot spot. The darkening of the coil after little use is something I get often. As long as flavor isn't affected I don't mind it much. My latest attempts with variable spaced coils seem to help with this issue.

these magnetic spools come from Stealth Vapes? I need to reorder soon, running out of 28ga, will keep an eye to see if I can order without magnets then, thanks for the heads up!

hmm, I don't think any of my spools ever came with magnets :?: Thanks Tony!

magnets? I'm not sure what you mean? @PhoneGuy: It'll be very interesting to hear your thoughts after the dna x sxm comparison. G'luck!

Nice one! Glad to hear you made it work! One thing is certain, when I installed my coils unwicked/still on rod, they would look much prettier 99% of the time. Yet the more I do them "manually"(?), the easier it's getting. And they are becoming less messed up/deformed. I remember being impressed...

what temp do you normally vape at?

I completely agree. btw, a quick update on the Variable Spacing build from last week. resistance has been stable and never changed from the original reading of 0.15. flavor is still great after 8 days, vapor production hasn't changed. I think I found my new favorite build :)

well said Rikk. Interesting theory about refinement having issues with contact coils. I fought the idea of spaced coils a lot at first too, but curiosity won and I tried them very early. I never ran into many issues with refinement, and only found out it even existed a few weeks after owning...

personally, I pack my wicks with lots of rayon, normally it does deform the coil when passing the wick thru, turning spaced coils into contact coils. Then a little bit of pulling on the wick back and forth gently, and the coil becomes spaced again...and it's time to vape. YMMV g'luck

Agreed that it's a bit weird at first, and I also believe it gets better with practice. I find that long leads are very helpful, and trapping the wires clockwise becomes more helpful than ever. I also like to pre-bend an U on the leads prior to mounting. I sort of measure the distance from coil...
