    IPV Mini v1 - Scrambled/Flickering Screen

    It did get knocked off my desk I think about 2 days before the fault started. Though the drop was about 3 foot and it landed on carpet.

    IPV Mini v1 - Scrambled/Flickering Screen

    The Screen flickers and shows scrambled symbols. Sometimes the information such as ohms and wattage will be just barely visible but only when I'm firing the device. Other times the screen won't come on at all. Whatever the screen displays it usually always goes blank the second I let go of the...

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    Thanks for the advice man. I got some pre-cut 1.8 NR-R-NR wire and works like a charm. My new battery reads at 1.8 and it vapes well.

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    hey, I just received the pre-cut 1.8Ohm resistance - no resistance wire that I ordered. I just wrapped it and cut it and my V3 read it at 1.8Ohm right away. Vapes good so far. So simple and easy I think I'll be using this from now on. Still not sure what what was going on with the 32 gauge...

    Need Help Rebuilding With Resistance - No Resistance - Resistance Wire.

    Wow. I feel dumb lol. Wrapped it, snipped it... reads 1.8 and vapes just fine. Thanks man.

    Need Help Rebuilding With Resistance - No Resistance - Resistance Wire.

    Hey, I was having some trouble rebuilding protank heads with 32 gauge kanthal including burnt grommets, shorts, overheating etc. Someone on here recommended I try some resistance - no resistance - resistance wire. I just received 50 pre-cut 1.8Ohm wires in the post. The length is about 2inch...

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    It's got me confused anyway. I just ordered some pre-cut 1.8Ohm resistance - no resistance wire, so hopefully that will work. I feel there is some issue with the current/insulator or - like you said - amperage, that the regular eGo is simply ill-equipped to detect. Perhaps that's why the regular...

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    I don't feel like it's a short due to crossed wires, etc. I have rebuilt tens today that all behave the same... plus, I am quite methodical about my coils being just right. It seems like something to do with the behaviour between the wire and the insulator. But I have no idea if it would or how...

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think the issue could be the insulators. On closer inspection, it seems most of the ones I have been using are burnt. Although that doesn't explain why a rebuild with a fresh insulator also reads low ohms and won't fire. Unless there is just too much current going...

    My Coil Rebuilds Keep Reading Low Ohms

    Hey, I've been rebuilding Protank heads for a while, but I've never had any way to check Ohms until recently. I used 5 wraps of 32 gauge Kanthal around 2.5mm Silica with a needle or around a cocktail stick for a cotton build. I've been vaping this build for a couple months on basic Ego...

    Evod 2 and Evod Glass - Do single coil Protank heads fit?

    Thanks, I did notice the difference in length between the two heads and did think perhaps the protank heads may not reach the center pipe on the Evod 2. Bought a couple of the original Evods instead. I just needed something small and simple that takes rebuilt protank heads. The New Evod 2 and...

    Some Advice On Rebuilding Protank Heads Please!

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions, I started reducing the amount of flavour wick bit-by-bit and was getting less and less dry hits. May have to remove more though, as the head I have in now is still dry-hitting occasionally. It definitely feels like it happens when the flavour wick isn't...

    Evod 2 and Evod Glass - Do single coil Protank heads fit?

    Hey, I'm looking to buy the Evod 2 but I have no interest in dual coils. I currently rebuild single coil Protank heads to use in my Unitank. I would like to know if I can use these single coil Protank heads in the Evod 2? If so, is there any notable differences such as change in air flow or...

    Some Advice On Rebuilding Protank Heads Please!

    Hey, I use .32 gauge kanthal A1 and 2.5mm VoodooWool (silica) I've been experimenting with different builds on kanger heads and feel I can hit the resistance I seek (2.5) with 6 wraps of the .32 Kanthal. The problem is that without a flavour wick; I instantly get persistent gurgling. If I add...

    hi 3 days without smoking having hot sweats and headaches

    If you say you wake up with headaches that sounds more like withdrawal from the death sticks to me. Hopefully things continue to improve for you.

    Need advice on new mod

    Thanks. The MVP 2 does sound appealing. The whole box mod thing puts me of a little though. I just imagine it would feel somewhat awkward and unwieldy in hand.

    Thanks, I'll look into the SVD. I would prefer a tube style mod.

    Need advice on new mod

    I was looking at the Vamo v5. It seems to have everything I need without being to overpriced or flashy. Anyone have one or any opinions in general?

    Need advice on new mod

    Hey, I'm looking to buy a new mod. It needs to be VV and have an ohm checker. Other than that, I just want something simple that performs well with as little hassle as possible. Doesn't need to be flashy. I previously owned a 1100mAH Ego-style and a Tornado RCS (Battery mod with pass-through...

    How do you know when to lower the nicotine?

    Chain vape for 20 mins - if you get a headache or feel light-headed - lower the strength. I chain vape 18mg for hours and just feel a bit spaced out at worst.
