    So, my last iJoy RDTA 2 glass broke. What next?

    I haven't bought a tank in a few years. My lat big thing was said RDTA 2, I bought 3 of them and love them... and now it's out of commission for a while and looks like glass will take a while to find and ship. So, I liked the tank size (6ml), chuff tip, and wide bore deck slots (I build...

    It's time to order new flavors... advice needed

    Well I've been mixing it all myself for the past few months. I started with too many fruits, then ordered enough blenders to carry me more than through what I had. I've had some luck with on the fly, but do to poor documentation (and a kid and dog playing in my area) my notes got demolished. So...

    Stepping into DIY... for real this time.

    So, I tried to jump into DIY too early. I didn't even know my own preferred flavor profiles. I had ordered a handful of flavors and tried a few things and then just let it sit for about a year. Fast forward to November, I was jobless and in a pinch. I had the flavors and bases, and a few 30 ml...

    Guess I need a new box...

    My Sigelei 213 is toast... for now. I'm going to try to fix it myself, it's a contact issue so if I can open the box a little soldering should square me back up. I have been steeping down from high watt vaping, 85 watts instead of 100+, but I still like it hot. I have a decent mech and my old...

    Should I be disappointed in my FLVS

    So I'm not the biggest worry wart when it comes to batteries. I have some good batteries for my mechs or when I want to push a regulated box hard. (mated pairs 1x vtc5, 1x vtc4, 2x lg he4) I have decent batteries for daily work in the regulated boxes (many mated pairs 25r, solid work horse and I...

    Getting a Sigelei/Fuchai 200w for Christmas. What do I do with it?

    I have a Sigelei 150 that has been my goto mod for a while. I like Clapton coils 26/32 Kanthol in my RDA's. I have Several good RDA's Dark Horse, Mutation X family, and Plume Veil to name a few. I'll have some titanium wire coming with it, but what wire and gauges do y'all recommend? I know coil...

    Surprising Thanksgiving support.

    Had to share a bit of, well as the title says, surprising support for the industry at our family's Thanksgiving get together. We went to my wife's Aunt's house for Thanksgiving. Before we left my wife admonished me to vape outside, I believe on her mother's orders. I have no problems taking it...

    Having some bad luck with Clapton's lately, any easy wire alternative?

    Here lately every time I sit down to spin out some Clapton wire I've made some nasty looking messes. I decided to just order some pre-Clapton-ed wire, but now I'm waiting for delivery. Any suggestions for twisted builds that will come close to that "feel" while I wait? I generally like 0.3 Ohm...

    RDA Looking for something new...

    I've got another big box mod on the way and I'm looking for something to top it with. I guess I'm a bit of a cloud chaser, but really I love the flavor I get from my preferred build: I've been building simple Clapton's 28 around 24 kanthol ran in a dual coil setup. 0.3 ohm on a Sigeli 150 box...

    Bragging on Vape Wild customer service

    Gotta give a shout out to some awesome CS I received last night: I've been dropping my nic level for awhile. I've found a nice flavor sweet spot that gets me big-ish clouds I enjoy: 0.3 ohm clapton coil at 100 watts. (Mutation x3 on Sigelei 150 if you care) Between that setup and my habit of...

    Got some 316L 24 gauge. What to do with it?

    As the "guy who gets it" in my group of vapers I was recently gifted some SS 316L in 24 gauge. My coworkers kinda expect me to try anything new and teach them a dumbed down need to know version, and show them if it's worth learning. As such I'm always being given something "new" and nifty. Clone...

    "See Vera? Dress yourself up, you get taken out somewhere fun."

    I took my Reo out to m local B&M. I hadn't been back in a while and wanted to see if they had anything new. They do have one nice juice flavor I can't get elsewhere, but at their prices I'd rather buy from AiV. I will say this there are a couple of guys there that really know their coils, and...

    What is up with this firing pin?

    Unnamed (1) by Riff posted Apr 24, 2015 at 11:52 PM I replaced the firing pin on my (from the classifieds) Reo Grand LP after I got fed up with inconsistent firing issues. I found the pin was a bit warped from a heavy hand, and a massive glob of some unknown soldering material. Now the seller...

    New Reo user looking into bottom feed options

    It's kinda hard to tell what are bottom feeders on most if not all sites. Anywhere that has them clearly labeled? I want to see my options, and just keep batting zero.

    Just got my first Reo (thanks diamondlvr) and had a question about changing flavors

    This is gonna sound ridiculously basic, but I'll ask it any way. If I want to swap flavors after I kill the bottle, heck even mid bottle, do I HAVE to rewick, or is it truly like an RDA where the flavor "bleed" is only temporary and sometimes even enjoyable? All in all an awesome little device...

    Looks like I'm taking the REO plunge

    If all goes well I should be the proud owner of a Reo Grand LP and Reomizer 4 very soon. While I'm not new to rebuilding I will be new to this style device. I'm seeing lots of pictures powering these bad boys with AW batteries so I can see I'll not be building the way I currently build my mechs...

    RDA Mutation X2 centered or offset coils?

    Title says it all really. I build my Mutation X2 with offset coils. I personally like it this way. The guy behind the counter at my local shop called me out on it. Am I doing it wrong? The way I see it if I'm enjoying that can't be true, but I thought I'd ask for a broader opinion. How do you...

    Looking for a new tube mod... where should I look?

    So over the last month I've found myself dripping more and using my tube mods more (I have a Nemesis clone and a Stingray clone) and while I really enjoy them I want a flashier tube for when I want to feel nifty. I want to find some out there looking mods, things that aren't just copper tubes in...

    Coil Variables: Any good guides?

    I'm looking for a guide on the what and why of coils, but I just keep coming up empty. I can consistently build .3 ohm micro coils out of 24 gauge A-1 kanthol that work well with my mechs (yes I'm using good batteries a pair of Sony vtc4 and vtc5 for powering my 2 mechs, a nemesis and a...

    Nemesis HELP

    So, I want to start using my Nemesis again. I haven't used it about 2 months, it has been sitting in my vape gear tackle box. My problem is the bottom assembly. when I try to adjust the bottom assembly I only loosen the button, not the whole assembly. The problem is the inner adjustment screw is...
