Thanks Mario! Btw., you're missing a good one in Berlin, Dampfer Depot (formerly Fan-Tastic): E Zigaretten & Liquids Shop in Berlin Kreuzberg - Anfänger - Fortgeschrittene - Zubehör - kaufen - online - Damper Depot Oranienstraße 29 10999 Berlin

I've noticed that I seem to get better performance just when the wick is nearly dried out, right before I have to drip some more. When the wick is quite wet, eg. when there's a bit of liquid still sitting on the deck - I get more flavor (and nicotine), but the vapor isn't as thick and fluffy as...

Thanks, good to know. I've never used twisted wire, I'll try some experiments. I don't see how that's possible. Heat flux is the watts divided by the surface area. So with 3x the surface area, you get only 1/3rd the heat flux. Going from 9 watts to 8 watts drops it another 1/9th. So the first...

Also I guess you could dry burn & rewick the cotton, without emptying the tank.

Under what circumstances would a cold coil with more surface make more vapor? How do you find the right balance? It often feels like I'm just randomly tweaking things. I mean, I understand the theory of Ohm's law, heat flux / capacity, and so on, but sometimes it doesn't really translate into...

Thanks... I've used the coil calculator a lot in the past, but haven't paid much attention to the Heat Flux numbers. I guess a very basic question is, what is the relationship of coil temperature to vapor production? The hotter the better? In other words, should I focus on getting a temperature...

As an experiment, I want to see how I can maximize cloud production with 9 watts, i.e. about the maximum power using an ego/evod regulated battery. Not interested in flavor, just maximally dense billowy fluffy clouds... how would you do it? What would be the optimum wire gauge, coil diameter...

You could vary the frequency of the AC to change the amount of power to the coil. Basically you'd need a 10-watt broadband radio transmitter. There are much easier ways of doing things. Great that you all are curious about electronics, but just keep in mind that lots of very smart engineers...

Short answer: No. Resistance is a physical property of the wire, so the only way you can adjust it is mechanically. You could put a variable resistor in series with the coil, but that's a bad idea because as Bunnykiller says, it would just waste a lot of power as excess heat. Much better to...

Really? I'm honored. If you think your fingers aren't oily, take a close look at your smartphone screen. All I know is after I've wrapped a coil, running the wire through my fingers, when I dry burn it a little puff of smoke comes off that smells like burning hair... Maybe it doesn't matter on a...

CrazyNight, you're experiencing what's called the "sunk cost fallacy". Don't worry, everyone does. It's when you're in a situation that's clearly not working out, but you've already invested something into it, and it seems a shame to just throw it away. It's one of the reasons people stay in...

Happens to me when I make the wick too thin. Takes some practice to get it just right. I don't like to "pre-scrunch" the cotton much, just lightly form it into a cylinder maybe about 1.5 or 2 times the diameter of the coil. I roll a point on it to thread it through, then cut that off. You don't...

Bombeni, you should be able to get all your tanks working again if you want to. DavidOck gives good advice above. Sometimes there can be problems, but it doesn't mean you have to toss the whole thing, and buy tank after tank. If you could give a little more detail than the tank is fried or works...

Try an Igo-S or A6, possibly Smok dripper. Basically the same as the Cyclone. The smaller size works surprisingly well, and super cheap. May need to drill out the air hole a little. Get the coil placement right and you'll be happy...

I used to use a Protank mini, and didn't like the new dual coils at all. Too slow to heat up, and just not warm enough, for the same number of watts. I like the "mini" RDAs, I use a Smok Dripper RDA. I'm going to order an A6 and/or Igo-S so I can use my own drip tip. They both have a rim around...

The old "shops in Berlin" thread below is closed, although I think all the shops on the map are still in business. Anyway there's a (relatively) new shop on Schönhauser Allee called "Luft". They don't have a big selection, but they do carry standard (and genuine) Kanger stuff (EVOD, Protanks...

I'm in Berlin, so it might not apply to you, but I find access is pretty good. I haven't seen much evidence of a "scene", in terms of vaping bars and such, but there are about a dozen vape shops around Berlin. Most of them tend to be rather small with a limited selection. Many people order from...

@RosaJ, I've already done a lot of research, but I appreciate your comment. To be clear, I think that anyone currently smoking cigarettes should immediately switch to vaping, especially if they have COPD symptoms. There's no question that it would lead to better health outcomes. I fully support...

I never smoked in the house, didn't like the smell, and also a cigarette just tastes better outside. I find the opposite with vaping though. Especially if it's cold out, the flavour changes and not in a good way. So that's kind of a downside. At least summer is on the way!

@anjaffm, I just got the normal Flavour Art ones from a local shop. I find most of them to have a kind of "medicine" taste. I didn't mind 7 Leaves, though it's not much like tobacco. Give the Halo Torque 56 a try, it's kind of legendary and to me it's so much better than any other tobacco...
