    Does Wattage Really Affect Mechanicals?

    For sake of example, lets say that I have a setup with a 30A 18650 2100mAh 3.7V battery. Lets also say that my RDA is clocking in at .2 Ohms. We are going to use 4.2 Volts here and assume the battery is fully charged. This would mean that I am pushing 88 Watts. Sounds crazy (and I've read of...

    Is 1/8" Too Big for Quad Coils?

    I built my IGOW-6 today with 26 gauge wire. The inside diameter of my coils is about 1/8". Is that way too big? The coils don't seem to be touching the posts or each other or anything... I just know most people talk about them being 1/16". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, and vape on...

    First Build on IGOW-6

    Just did my first build on an IGOW-6. I haven't burned the coils and pinched them together yet so it still looks a little janky but hey, it was my first attempt!

    So I just got my Nemesis clone in the mail today and I've been playing around with it learning how to take it apart and put it together and whatnot.

    FastTech Shipping

    So I heard that FastTech shipping, although free, takes FOREVER to get to you. Like a month or so. Apparently because everything comes from China? Just wondering if anyone has experience with this company. There are a couple things I'm researching, but I don't want to buy and wait an eternity.

    Looking for New APV/MOD

    I will soon be in the market for a nice new APV/MOD to keep around the house (and maybe occasionally take out). I have been looking at the eVic, the iTazte 134, and the Provari. I definitely want it to be both VV and VW, and a digital screen is a plus. I really like the digital interface of the...

    Octopus RBA Cleaning Question

    hello all. I just picked up an Octopus RBA for tasting my DIY liquids. Quick question - is cleaning this the same as any other tank? I can just rinse it in water, soak it, dry it, whatever? It wont mess up the battery terminals if I do that will it?

    What's Your Total Flavor Percentage?

    I just started the whole DIY juice thing, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've been experimenting with different ratios and percentages, but I really don't want to drain all my supplies through trial and error. I guess that's just something that's going to happen... My total flavor...

    How Much TFA Strawberry to Use

    I'm currently working on a Strawberry Banana Cream recipe and I'm having trouble determining how much strawberry to use. I am making 10ml of juice. The strawberry is certainly the least strong of the three, and the banana is extremely potent. My first recipe is as follows Strawberry 10% Banana...

    So I got a sample pack a couple days ago from HHV which includes Dark Horse, Dragons Fire, Gaia, and Huntsman. I chose this vendor based on the outstanding reviews of their tobacco flavors. In fact, there is a NET thread on here somewhere where multiple people gave Dragons Fire their "best...

    Torque56 Strange Menthol Aftertaste?

    I have some torque56 I'm vaping right now. At first I hated it, reminded me of midnight apple which I thought was gross. It tasted minty. Now, I can taste the initial sweetness and tobacco and its quite good, but the exhale almost ALWAYS tastes menthol/minty... is that just me?! I saw an old...

    Best Tobacco and Best Fruit Vendors

    I am still relatively new at this, so I'm looking to cut out a lot of guesswork by recommendations from you guys. I mainly vape tobacco and fruit flavors, and I don't want anything crazy like cherry-lime-ade-crème-brule-cinna-cola if you know what I mean. Just some simple classics. Maybe some...
