    Larger diameter microcoils in IGO-W?

    Hey all, I built my first dripper ever yesterday.... 10 wraps of 28awg Kanthal around a 1.5mm mandrel. It's at about 1.0 Ohms, and hits just fine on my Hcigar Nemesis clone. However, I was thinking it would be better to have larger coils - possibly 3mm inner diameter. Would that even...

    Do you Judge an ejuice by its cover?

    Hey all, More specifically, Do you judge an ejuice (at least first impressions) by its packaging, the Company's website, or the B&M storefront? I have tried many online retailers and brands as well as 2 rather large B&M outfits here near Detroit Michigan that offer many homemade...

    Shopping Cart help - trying to find a store that has all of my wants...

    Hey all, Ok, So, I have a few supplies that I want to pick up online, but it seems that I may have to spread the order across three different vendors. I would rather be able to find one place that has all of them - or at least narrow it down to two... Here's my list: 1) HCigar Nemesis...

    "Rosebud" or flared base of ss mesh wick idea...

    Hey all, I was brainstorming and came up with the idea. Obviously I'll have to load it from beneath the deck of my RSST, but that's no problem. Has anyone tried this before to aid in wicking? Here's a pic (this was a practice wick, ignore the rolling and loose strands)...

    Deck cooking....

    Hey all, I just built this coil. Everything seems fine, however, after taking some slow motion pics of the vape action (yes, like a Dork) I noticed that there is also a lot of juice cooking on the deck. Is that normal for pooled/condensed juice to do that? It's almost like a frying pan...

    What's the newest version of the Smoktech Magneto V2?

    Hey all, I'm assuming (as of the date of this post) that the newest shipment would be the V2 withOUT the spider logo on the firing button... Does that sound right? Thabks, Matt!

    More flavor when the RSST is removed..... Get a reduction cap insert?

    Hey all, I'm currently using Provari 2.5 with ss rope in an RSST, and I love the setup. However, I was goofing around and noticed that if I lift the cap off and use it as a funnel to inhale the rising vapors that the flavor is 376 times better! When I put the cap back on, the flavor is...

    Having great luck with my RSST w/ ss rope rig.

    Hey all, I just rebuilt my RSST with 304 3/32" 7x7 ss rope, with a wrap of #400 ss mesh beneath my 4/5 wrap of. 28 Guage Kanthol. It meters out to 1.3-1.4 Ohms. I'm running at 4.2 volts on my Provari 2.5 and I'm absolutely loving it. Very simple to make and will be even easier to clean...

    RSST @ 1.1 Ω on my Provari 2.5 - Happy with this....for now.

    Hey all, I am a few days away from getting a mechanical mod (to run sub-Ω). In the meantime, however, I was able to get a happy combo with my RSST (using #400 ss mesh, a 4/5 wrap of .28 Kanthol which gave me 1.1 Ω) and my Provari 2.5. I was afraid it would error out, but it didn't. The...

    RSST - grind down pointed contact end on center post?

    Hey all, I'm using an RSST on my Provari 2.5 and I am extremely pleased with it. In my never-ending quest to tinker, however, I was wondering if grinding the pointed end of the center post would improve performance in any way? It would essentially allow more surface area for the center...

    Re-flavor wicking EVOD atomizers. To loop or not to loop?

    Hey all, After rinsing and reusing my atomizers, the housing and main coil wick survive just fine, but my flavor wicks usually fray badly, or get washed away on accident. So, I started putting my own flavor wicks. My question is, is it advantageous to use a single strand of wick and loop...

    Airflow vent mod for Protank 1 & 2 - improves Provari draw and any other flush-top mods

    Hey all, I went into my local Vape shop here in Detroit to upgrade from a Smoktech Gravity Triple Threat to a Provari 2.5... When they noticed that I used a Protank 1 and Protank 2 as my primary tanks, they told me about a base-plate mod that they offer. Since the Provari has...

    New Vaper from Detroit...

    Hey all, It's nice to see such an active forum for my new-found vaping hobby. I have never smoked any type of cigarette, and occasionally do hookah. Vaping allows me the flavor of hookah without the mess - anywhere I go! I prefer 0mg Nicotine. I started out with a Smoktech Gravity...
