    Steam Engine/Wire question

    Been making coils with just the kanthal that came with my coil master kit, still pretty new to this but having good results so far. The kit also came with a tube of 316L SS with kernel of 26ga/wrapped 32ga. Guessing to put the diameter of the wire as 32? And are there any other differences...

    Issue after last wicking

    Rewicked one of my ijoy EXOs Friday (single coil, kept same coil) and on the third tank fill of ejuice (6ml tank, same ejuice each fill) I started to get a not quite burnt flavor which I have never had before on longer draws. Don't get it on shorter draws. I have noticed if I unscrew the tip...

    82 Days Later, The Alien Returns

    As I posted in this thread, my Alien 220w fried and I sent it in to Mapvapes for warranty. I repeatedly emailed and called, not once could I find out how it was going. Today I came back to my office from a meeting and found a box on my desk. In that box I found this... My gold/black...

    Flavoring Sales 4th of July???

    Question: Historically does either Bull City Flavors or Wizard Labs have 4th of July sales? Reason: Been DIYing less than a year, wasn't DIYing last year at this time. Went to DIY five of my favorite e-juices last Sunday. I decided to move up to 100ml from 60ml. Started first recipe, was...

    Software: Android (tablet) app that plays nice with E-Juice Calculator

    I use E-Juice Calculator on my laptop for my recipes. I was wondering if there was an Android app that I could easily transfer recipes back/forth with E-Juice? I have an android tablet (and phone) and it would be more portable than my laptop to do DIY with. I dock my laptop at home and work...

    Adding Moisture or "Juiciness" to DIY

    Started working on a clone recipe, first attempt, and am close but missing a couple of things. One is a flavor issue which I hope will be fixed on my next flavor order (had to substitute one flavor). The other difference is a lack of "juiciness" or moisture. My mix is a 80%VG as is the...

    For the love of Mooch...

    I am not the battery expert and don't claim to be. Even with all his recent post of things I don't understand, I trust him because he seems to be out to help using vapers. So here is to his hard work and time to tell us what is the safest batteries to use. I Know I only buy batteries he...

    Build deck life span

    Thinking of the 8/16 deeming stuff. I have 5 Axiom decks, 2 EXO RTA's and 2 Cleito 120's which I will be ordering RTA decks for in the next month. Question is how long to decks usually last? Are we looking at 1 year, 3 years, 10 years, etc? At my age if everything vaping goes to crap I'm...

    Element Pink Grapefruit clone recipe?

    Was driving back from a work meeting 1.5 hours away and I was going through a town I saw a vape shop I've not seen before. Since there are no vape shops within an hour where I live (this one is still an hour away) I stopped in to check them out. I DIY but like supporting local shops (do the...

    Wicking: symptoms of not enough and too much wick.

    I'm going to start wicking (and soon building coils) this week, have two Exo RTAs and my Axioms to work on. Using the coils that came with the Exos and some 0.5oHm coils I got from Vaoporbeast for the Axioms, my Coilmaster v4 kit from Amazon (early birthday present) along with some Cotton Bacon...

    LG HD4 vs Sony VTC5A

    When I bought my Alien 220w I also bought 3 pairs of LG HD4 batteries. I recently picked up a couple more 2 battery mods and am thinking I need to pick up 2 or 3 more pairs. Not had problems with the LGs but have read many people really like the Sonys and I have read Mooch's battery chart so...

    My Alien 220w (literally) fried in my hand, need a new mod

    Was sitting my chair tonight, watching some tv and vaping, and I noticed the screen didn't light up after a vape. So I played around with it trying to get the screen to light up. Pulled the batteries out a few times, tried the click through the menu from memory to try to see if I accidentally...

    Battery usage: problem or not?

    Using an Alien 220w. I've noticed a few weeks ago on my Alien screen that I've been pulling more on battery B than A. I've tracked on my Eleaf Luc 4 charger that the battery B initially shows up to a .3 difference (has ranged from .12 to .3) from A when put on the charger. Just wondering if...

    Fluorescent Wraps

    Recently bought a celestial wrap for my black/gold Alien 220w. I think it looks good and put my fluorescent drip tip on it and the tip color matches one of the colors in the celestial quite nice. So I thought it would be cool to have some fluorescent in the wrap. Did some google searching but...

    Alien-Mode Strength: Other Mods Like It?

    Recently bought an Alien 220w and in playing around with the settings I discovered the Mode Setting for Watts. I really like this feature. My main tanks are the Innokin Axiom (4 of them) and I will run them 16-32 watts, depending on the juice and if I'm using a drip tip or not (almost tootie...

    "Married" married battery pairs to mod question

    May be a goofy question but I'm switching from internal battery mod (MVP3 Pro) to external battery mods. Bought an Alien 220w, love it, using MVP3 as a backup but USB plug is getting loose, looser every time I charge it I think, and will be getting another 2 battery mod within the next 2...

    Deciding on new mod

    I've had my itasteMVP3Pro for almost two years now, love it, it's been a wonderful mod for me, was my second mod after the original MVP. BUT, recently I've noticed the charging USB is starting to come loose. I've tried many different USB charging cords but the result is always the same, unless...

    Steeping Question

    Question on the steeping process of e-juice. I'm to the point where I'm ordering ejuice 3-4 weeks before actually using. I've seen many methods of steeping ejuice and was wondering what I really need to do if I have bottles of ejuice setting around for that 3-4 weeks (or longer). Is it fine...
