    High blood pressure

    I received my BP machine today. I did my first tests around 11.30pm, not having vaped all day. Blood pressure is meant to be lower at night so I need to also test during the day. That said, interesting results. First result was 155 just like at the doctor, second was 166 and third was 165...

    High blood pressure

    Great replies Blitzdonlife and puffon, thanks. :) Yeah, I'll go for an upper arm machine. How many times do you do yours to get a reading you're happy with? In other words, even though you're not in the docs office, does it take you a couple of goes to feel relaxed as the cuff expands...

    High blood pressure

    Yes, top number. I forgot to ask her the bottom number. You're correct about it rising while in the doctors office, and I get anxious too. But she took it 3 times and I was as relaxed (certainly by the third time) as I was in the summer when it was mid 140s. Yeah, today I had considered...

    High blood pressure

    Indeed, Horselady. That mostly happens when I take too many puffs too quickly or if I haven't eaten anything. What I find I'm doing though is when watching tv, cooking, browsing, whatever it is, I'm always picking up my mod and vaping, whether I need nicotine or not. I'm sure I'm not alone...

    High blood pressure

    Hello everyone. :) I went to see a health advisor this morning at my local doctor's practise. She wanted to discuss the results of my cholesterol blood test and advise me on adjusting diet. It obviously wasn't urgent to them which is good as the results are from 2 months ago and is 5.2mmol/L...

    Oh I do like shiny.:) I've yet to build my coil and use this new RTA and mod but thought I'd take some pics.

    Coilmaster 521 mini tab resistance/rebuild deck

    Well the latest ETA was tomorrow/30th and I was expecting it to change again. BUT, I just checked the status and they've finally received new stock of the Coilmaster 521 tab mini, so it's ready to ship. :toast:

    Coilmaster 521 mini tab resistance/rebuild deck

    Yep, I hear you. Well, I've been building on my mods for years but fancied having a dedicated rebuilder deck. Not least because I've had issues matching my coil resistances with what the steam coil calculator says it should be for various wraps.

    Coilmaster 521 mini tab resistance/rebuild deck

    Hi guys. :) I've currently got some vape gear coming from Fasttech. They decided to split my shipping as one of the things I ordered is the Authentic Coil Master 521 Mini V2 Tab which has been restocking for ages. In fact, they're out of stock of both Coilmaster tabs and the Geekvape one. The...

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Yep Punk In Drublic, I don't doubt that Steam is correct. I must be doing something wrong but I wish I knew what. :unsure:

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Sorry for the late reply guys. Thanks Punk In Drublic, that Wire Wizard is handy. louiesquared, I should probably buy one of those CoilMaster meters, but I just read the ohms on whatever mod I'm using. In the last couple days I've built a variety of different resistance coils from 1.17 up, but...

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Thanks for the replies guys. Punk In Drublic, yes I suppose there could be an issue with the deck, good point. I'm going to build on another tank and see if that's closer to the calculator. This is the reel. What they wrote is in black, everything else is my writing. 'TMC' stands for the mesh...

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm not much the wiser at the moment though. I've absolutely no idea what's going on. :confused: I just unwrapped those coils and made them 5.5 wraps and according to the calculators, it should be 0.22 ohms but it's reading 0.34 ohms.

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Thanks for the explanation and photo guys. So I guess mine is 7 and a half wraps right? And I guess there'll always be a half wrap on a Velocity deck like my OBS since the legs have to face the same direction?

    Number of wraps for resistance

    Doesn't fluctuate in wattage mode, a solid 0.45 ohms. However in temp control, it goes to 0.51 ohms.

    Number of wraps for resistance

    I think you're onto something Scott. Clearly I'm doing my wraps inaccurately. Here are two photos, one of each coil after I removed the wicks It seems I have 8 wraps, I don't know if they're counted as full or half? I went for 7 per coil though. I've tested each coil separately and one is...

    Light phlegmy cough

    Over the last year or so since vaping direct to lung at 70 VG, I'm constantly clearing my throat. It's annoying. I don't bring anything up, I just clear my throat and then swallow. But within seconds I'm clearing my throat again. I often take gulps of guaifenesin cough mixture which works well...

    Number of wraps for resistance

    I don't have a caliper to measure but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have sent me 25 gauge. I think each coil must be 0.90 as the total coil resistance has come out at 0.45 ohms. Dual coil for 0.45 ohms at 26 gauge says 12 wraps per coil and 25 gauge says 15 wraps per coil. So whichever gauge...
