    Low resistance wire

    So way late, but I know of and use 5 different types of low resistance wire. 316L stainless steel, commonly called GPlat Elite. 317L stainless steel, called GPlat Haywire. Rene 41, aka Royal Wire. Nichrome 80, and nichrome 60. Of the 5, 316L stainless is by far my favorite. That is a personal...

    RDA Doge v2

    Been using mine with 24g SS 316l wire, dual parallel, 5/10 wraps on 2.4 mm @ 0.079 on my triple parallel 18650 box. On my O.G. Sig 100w I was running 23 g kanthal, dual coil, 15 wraps on 2.4 mm @ 0.653. Generally using between 68 and 82 watts. In my opinion the doge v2 is one of the best rdas...

    Clone Versus Authentic Discussion

    Yes, they won, so there is some precedent. However it only applies because Hana Modz is trademarked now. Note I said vast majority do not have those protections. It is those very protections that allow Nike to take action on fakes. That feeds into the morality argument; me saying anything but...

    High End Mechanical and Regulated Gear

    Clone Versus Authentic Discussion

    My thought is that this debate is as fruitless as debating religion or politics. The clone mods are not counterfeit in general; they are not presented or marketed as genuine. The vast majority of authentic manufacturers do not hold patents or trademarks on their product. In that way even a true...

    What are your favorite rdas right now?

    Right now for clouds, the Doge v2 on the parallel box(Mad Modder Mini). For flavor, I've been using the Freakshow Mini on my Fuhattan. Third place would probably be my Fat Buhhda sitting on my local, custom built, series, 26650 box(for when 10 foot clouds aren't enough).

    Any "older" members still recall the time when smoking was acceptable indoors?

    Being born in 1991, in Ann Arbor, MI, I also don't remember a time, distinctly before everything was non smoking. I do remember choosing smoking or non at restaurants, but only as a child. That all changed when I moved to Mississippi, a state with no smoking ban. The city I live in does have...

    First RTA-Orchid v4 clone

    Just an intro: I have been exclusively dripping since I left my protanks and nautilus behind nearly 8 months ago. This isn't a "how do build a coil" post. So, I was at the mall with my girlfriend and we walked past the vape shop inside. She had been complaining about my "new toy"(unregulated...

    Moral Quandry

    No open vaping at any point and my objections make me a "worthless p*** ant who can .......ing shut up or be fired". So I'm officially job hunting.

    Also a Russian Times article about vapor containing "1000 times" the formaldehyde of cigs.

    Moral Quandry

    Smoking is prohibited by city ordinance, the vape ban is because it looks like smoking.

    Moral Quandry

    So today the bar I work at banned vaping. Not just for employees, but for customers as well. Now me a manager has to enforce a policy I vehemently disagree with. The real issue I have is my personal boycott of places with vaping bans that are not enforced by ordinances or laws. The policy is...

    Tips on cloud chasing for ONLY 28g Kanthal? +Tips on wicking

    I've been running a three wire 28g parallel claptoned in 28 g wire. Dual coils, 3 wraps around 2 mm @ 0.10 ohm. It's one of my two best builds for clouds the other being 20g twisted with 26g; dual coils, 5 wrap around 2.4 mm @ 0.10 ohm. My general advice is try to think of ways to both lower...

    Best build for mutation x

    I would suggest a 24g quad coil of 5 wraps around something about 2 mm. This will allow you to use all the airflow available and get cool comfortable clouds. This is doubly true as quads split the heat and wattage more efficiently.

    Sony VTC5 Alternative

    Idk if it's been posted but the eFest purple 2100 mah 30A batteries are also rewrapped VTC4s. Be careful though, as the eFest purple 2500 mah 35A are rewrapped LG HE2s.

    Another B&M rant

    Really? I said better battery life, and possibly lower amp draw. If I'm running a .25 coil build with 2.2 volts through it vs a .81 ohm coil with 8 volts through it I'm drawing similar amp loads (much higher watts on the .81 build) but slightly lower amps on the lower resistance. Actually read...

    Another B&M rant

    Also... Hate to double post, but what's wrong with vaping to vape... I definitely cloud chase, but not always, I was a 3 pack a day smoker. I also had a hookah and a pipe, I enjoyed the feeling of smoking and of lung hits. The attitude that it is wrong to vape to the extreme is ridiculous. I...

    Another B&M rant

    Unrelated note, super sub ohm has some benefits on a regulated device. It saves battery from a lower output voltage, and possibly lower amp drain. I also really don't like a super hot vape and running 8.4 volts through a 1.5 ohm coil to get in the range of my sweet spot is EXTREMELY hot. Also...

    Which e-cig helped you quit smoking?

    For me the eGo C-Twist and MVP Energy weren't enough, it was the Tobecco Hades clone and Black Omega "World of Vapes" Edition that did in the analogs.

    Trying out regulation, and LOVING it!

    Hey all, For several months now I have been dripping exclusively, and using mech mods. This has necessitated the use of super sub-ohm builds, and I've always done the math to be safe. Recently I purchased a Sigelei 100w; wow! My sweet spot is around 65-70 watts, and being able to fire some 0.4...
