    Can I switch tank?

    Actually, anything you can put a tank on and vape from, is a mod. To call the whole thing a "battery" is slightly inaccurate. The battery is inside the mod. Other parts of the mod are the 510 connector that you screw your atomizer to, the fire button, the casing. Potentially a circuit to...

    Comment by 'Dampmaskin' in 'Real Life temp measurements inside a 2016 era atty'

    Thanks for taking the time and effort to do these tests. It's interesting stuff. The center of wick measurement being lower than the coil temperature makes perfect sense, as the temperature of a saturated wick will be limited by the boiling point of the liquid. When it comes to carcinogen...

    Comment by 'Dampmaskin' in 'The Steam Engine (vape calc)'

    Regarding mixing in weight; there's a new beta on the block that outputs ml. Regarding Wire Wizard, I'm doing a major overhaul of the codebase, but I'm starting to believe that because of its complexity, the Wire Wizard in its current form is beyond repair and needs to be rebuilt from scratch...

    how to choose coil ohm, what difference does it make?

    It depends on what kind of mod you're using.

    I made a calculator

    It's not. Look at the screenshots you posted. Resistivity for the single wire is 5.36 Ohm/m. Resistivity for the Clapton is 5.31 Ohm/m. The reason why the Clapton has higher resistance, is because it is a significantly longer wire. It is a longer wire because it is a thicker wire. To wrap a...

    I made a calculator

    Wire length is longer for the clapton because the resulting wire is thicker. That makes the actual diameter greater despite the inner diameter being identical, and since the length of the wire is (rougly) diameter times pi, the length of the wire is greater. That is why you get a higher...

    Official ProVari Radius Thread

    Does anyone know the maximum output voltage and maximum resistance of the Radius? Only the maximum current and minimum resistance seem to be stated at Provape's site.

    I made a calculator

    Ok, first of all, big tanks to vapealone for the data. Regarding the clapton, for the geometry I use the same formula as I use for the coil in the Coil calculator (I think). Outer diameter, 2πr (if you don't factor in the radius, maybe that explains the difference?) , Pythagoras for factoring...

    Vaping nano tubes is bad for your health, dontchaknow? :D

    Official ProVari Radius Thread

    Here's hoping for 40W, single 18650, TC capability with adjustable TCR, compact size, firmware upgradability and ... that's all. It's more than I need, actually, but it would be nice to have all that. Edit: A squonking option wouldn't ruin my day either.

    ohms and wattage question.

    The amount of vapor is determined by the power (watts). (Plus airflow, juice, wicking, atty chamber size & shape, ambient air pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.) The flavor is determined by the heat flux (power divided by surface area of coil). (Plus airflow, juice, wicking, atty chamber...

    DNA 200 Watt

    It has, but it's not configurable. It is only in Ni200 mode, and I think it stops boosting once the temperature reaches 100 F below your set temperature, so it's not very noticable unless you set the temperature a lot higher than what you actually want to vape at.

    DNA 200 Watt

    When in temperature mode, the DNA blasts the atomizer with extra power for a short time when you press the button. This is to get the coil quickly up to working temperature. An example: Say you're vaping at 400F at 40W. When you press the button, the DNA fires at 200 W until two seconds have...

    Difference between watts and joules?

    I disagree. Watts are not the only parameter that matters, but nobody said it was. Watt-hours is another. How many hours of use the mod can be expected to last before breaking in two is third. Weight is a fourth. And so on. All these parameters can be compared between mods. Not all of them are...

    Difference between watts and joules?

    Watts can be compared to watts, even if you don't fully understand what a watt is. Mystery (or pseudo) joules on the other hand, cannot be meaningfully compared to anything other than itself.

    what is the best mod

    The best mod is the one in your hand. It keeps you off the cigarettes. Other mods don't do that.

    Vaping for Science!

    If the test subjects are coming in one at a time, you might want to use one quality mod that is known to deliver the exact power it's set to, for consistency and reproducability. Get a pair of replacable batteries (18650 size) and a decent charger. You can charge one while using the other. With...

    Difference between watts and joules?

    I find Deepak Chopra both hilarious and mildly annoying, but I know there are people out there who actually admire his "wisdom". For all I know they even waste their time trying to understand what he's on about. All I can say is that people are different, so I can only speak for myself when I...

    Difference between watts and joules?

    In the Bizarro world of YiHi, where time is measured in yards and miles, and left/right is what's measured with a clock, this might be true. In the real world it's not.

    What is your favorite tank?

    The eXpromizer is pretty near the top of my list. Now that there's a v2 with a fixed center pin, I'm tempted to buy another one. It's easy to build, easy to fill, solid and consistent.
