    Cthulhu Tube Mod v2! (mosfet)

    I recently received the new v2 cthulhu tube mod. It is both similar to and different from the v1. Both are mosfet, usable in either 18650 or 18350 mod. They are both 24 mm and the v2 is slightly taller than the v1. The biggest, and to me, best difference between them is that the v2 has a lovely...

    Flavour Banger Single Coil BF RDAs/RDTAs

    I always end up back with the Soul S by Van and Del. I always get the vape I want from it, not really sure why I prefer it over the others. I generally don't find huge differences between largely similar atties, tho, if they're well made and well designed. I love threads like this, though, as...

    Rta building steps

    It's also very useful to recheck the coil once you've assembled the rta. You want to make sure that the coil legs aren't touching the sides of the chamber. It's perfectly normal to have a little bit of resistance change, but if you get a super low reading, you know you have a 'short'. I don't...

    Dummies you heard from Vape shop employees (Let's laugh)

    I've heard a few doozies. Most recently, the other day, the clerk was selling a mod to a customer. "Whatever you do, don't click it three times, that will brick the mod!" "I'm riding my motorcycle down the coast for the next two weeks, how do I turn it off?" "Click it five times." "Won't that...

    Dry hits because of air trapped in the wells

    Make sure that your ends are cut, and straight. Stuffing wells, or anything else, tends to bunch up the cotton, and you want it nice and straight. Think of your wick as an ejuice highway. I also never have my wicks into the juice wells, just to the deck. It looks like you'd need to tilt the atty...

    Need help figuring out out how to get 9mg

    No matter how you add six and three mg, you're going to end up under six. You need to add a juice higher than what you want. It's probably easiest to get those little nic shots. For freebase, I like Sapphyre brand. Vape tool is an android app that is good for calculating ejuice. You can never...

    Another "no flavor" thread

    Try putting a little ejuice on your finger and tasting it. That'll tell you whether it's the vape device or not, at least. If you can't taste it off your finger, you can be pretty sure it's something physiological.

    "Vaping is good for your health, but bad for the environment!"

    It's not just the disposable plastic tanks and pods that I see littering the beach; it's also spent batteries. If you don't think it's a problem, wait until your two year old starts playing with a used pod, containing nic and who knows what from the user's mouth, that she finds in the sand. The...

    "Vaping is good for your health, but bad for the environment!"

    I struggle to see what was so offensive about what was said. She made a comment that's pretty much true. Was it her daring to invade your safe space that was so upsetting? I don't see how disciplining kids, or school environment, or anything else was negatively illustrated by her comment...

    Place your bets, next big thing in vaping?

    Unfortunately I think the trend back towards disposables will only gain traction. Dead pods are becoming the new cigarette butts.

    Building RTA Safely

    the most important thing is that no part of your coil, including the legs that you cut, touch anything else in the rta. The best way to tell is to always check your resistance after installing the coil, and then with the chimney on. Slight fluctuation in resistance is normal, but if you get a...

    "Exclusive" RDAs, Reviewers, and the hype

    One benefit from buying from a fb group is that it's generally easy to find a buyer for the item, within the group, if for some reason you don't like it. I would rather 'jump through a few hoops' to get something I want than to decide that I want something and not be able to find it. Not too...

    What was your first device?

    I started with a vivi nova on a kamry tube with 'ego' connections. I used that along with either a CE4 or an Iclear16, for a while. Next came the nautilus and istick50, soon followed by the kanger subtank and beyondvape 'smith' mod (ipv3, 165 watts, still works like a champ but it's toooooo...

    When do you buy new batteries?

    When I realized that I was using unknown cells for over a year, decided that I needed some kind of system. Any damage beyond wraps gets recycled. Any cells that don't seem to perform well get recycled. The big change is, now, any cell over two years old gets recycled. I don't really know if...

    Why is my battery getting so hot?

    Mr Baditude; a question. I've seen that wattage charge many times, and no doubt it's very useful for vw devices, but what about vv devices? Is there an 'across-the-board' factor that I could use? I mostly use pwm, mech, and vv devices, although I also use vw. Is there anything besides voltage...

    Why is my battery getting so hot?

    Heat is the enemy of batteries. Depending on how hot that battery got, and how many times, it might be toast, even if it was okay to start with. Make sure you get authentic, good batteries. Let us know how it works out, good luck.

    Why is my battery getting so hot?

    Thermal runaway is when your battery gets so hot that it vents, which can be quite violent. Basically it's one step short of 'explosion'. I have no way of knowing whether it's the mod or the battery, but I would guess the battery. There are a bunch of fakes out there.

    Why is my battery getting so hot?

    stop using it immediately. if it's that hot, it's not far from thermal runaway. you might have gotten a fake battery, or something. especially in a regulated mod, your batteries should never get too hot to handle.
