    Can SS Coil run on Ni Temp Setting?

    Actually I'm using pre-built SS coils (Cubis), so testing at a very low starting temp seems the best way to approach it. I have two Cubis tanks with SS coils but only one VTC, but I'd like to occasionally run one tank on the iStick TC40, assuming of course that it can be done safely. Yes I can...

    Can SS Coil run on Ni Temp Setting?

    If I start at a very low displayed temp and work up to a comfortable vape, what could be unsafe about it? And thank you for your kind words.

    Can SS Coil run on Ni Temp Setting?

    One of my mods (iStick TC40W) does not have a temp option for stainless steel, so I tried a SS coil on the Ni setting but started the temp down at 200'F. It seemed to work ok but I noticed I could not go above 250'F before the juice was over-cooking or beginning to burn. On my VTC Mini set to SS...

    Joyetech Cubis

    Interesting all the complaints about the Cubis coils. I've read that it's a love it or hate tank but it's looking more on the hate side. I have two Cubis tanks and have so far only used the 1.5 clapton and 1.0 SS coils, and I love this tanks. The obvious positives are that it doesn't leak and it...

    Cubis won't feed

    I have 2 Cubis tanks and I'm also using the 1.5 clapton, but I'm running it at 20 watts. I did however make sure it was very well primed and ran it around 14-15 watts when the coil was new, as these coils seem to need a serious priming ritual when new or they'll easily burn. Other than seeing...

    Tight on the Nautilus

    There may be better options but I've not yet found them. I've got more thanks than I can count and if I had to get rid of all and keep only one, it would be the full size Nautilus. Its the easiest and most reliable tank I own, never a hitch, never a leak, always a consistent and smooth vape for...

    Tight on the Nautilus

    I have several Nautilus and never have a problem unscrewing the tank, at least not after soon discovering how to prevent it. As deltas4 said, don't screw the tank on all the way, just till you start feeling additional resistance. The gasket is quite wide so will easily seal without screwing all...

    I'm sure any thin viscosity, non-conductive oil should work. I don't know if the one I use is commonly available in the US (I'm in Canada), but I use 'Rustcheck' brand which is most commonly used aftermarket to prevent rust on cars. Likely similar to 'Crown' but haven't used that so can't vouch...

    I suggest putting a drop of thin viscosity, non-conductive oil on the gap around the button. No more than one drop, then work it around all four sides.

    Ok so I still have most of the length of each finger left on the port; maybe it could be soldered back on; but damn - those fingers are so tiny and closely spaced. Not sure I can do it without solder getting bridged across a couple fingers. Thanks for the link Troll!

    If the micro USB has become completely detached from the board, it might not be possible to re-attach. I finally had the same problem after 6 months with one of my 20w sticks; it was completely detached. I opened it and noticed the port has 2 solder points on each side to secure it, plus has 5...

    I've had a Smok VCT for just over a month now; it's the X2 kit with the dual 0.4 coil. I rather like it and I'm a mouth-to-lung vaper only, and it works quite well for that. I also have the Subtank Mini and unlike most folks, I didn't care for it but maybe it's just not suited to MTL. The Smok...

    I have several sets of precision screwdrivers. Believe me, I wouldn't bother searching to find a Torx driver if I had not already tried tiny Philips and flat-heads. My screws are on so tight, it was starting to strip both the drivers and screws. When I locate a torx T-5 I'll try again but the...

    Thanks guys for the quick reply. I'll look into that. After 6 months with two 20w's, the micro USB on one of them broke loose from the board, so gotta fix it. I also have two 30w's but I still love my 20's.

    As far as I know, PBusardo never did a 30w review, only the 20w and 50w. Question to you guys who have taken them apart: where do you get the proper size Torx driver? I've been to several hardware stores and nobody carries one that tiny.

    KangerTech SUBTANK Mini

    Well I guess I'll chime in here on my experience with the Subtank Mini. I picked up the ST a couple days ago and unlike the vast majority of folks here, I found it to be a dreadful vape for me. I washed it out and its now dried and I may pack it away. I tried vaping it numerous times with...

    Nautilus and Nautilus Mini Hollowed Sleeve question.

    Ah ok thanks. Wow, I would have easily guessed the large Nautilus hollowed sleeve holds less than the glass but I'm surprised its that much less. If you're a fan of the BVC coils and want more capacity than the Naut Mini, I suggest you check out the Silo Lite by Beyond Vape. Its no bigger than...

    Nautilus and Nautilus Mini Hollowed Sleeve question.

    Are you both referring to the capacity of the larger size Nautilus with the standard glass tank, or with the large hollowed sleeve?

    Nautilus and Nautilus Mini Hollowed Sleeve question.

    I measured between 1.8 - 1.9ml max into my hollowed (T tank). I didn't measure the capacity of the regular glass tank but Aspire claims 2ml. I'm guessing the reason the hollowed tanks hold a bit less is because it's a little shorter and also has added bulk of metal in the top to hold the top...
