    A look at various wicking materials for rebuildable atomizers

    Of late I have become determined to find the ideal wicking materials for my various attys and e-liquids. I decided to start a thread to document my observations and impressions of some of the cotton/cellulose materials that seem to be popular at the moment. I may dig into some of the “vintage”...

    RDA Did I really just order this? Zephyr Buddha V2

    Okay, so this was clearly an impulse buy (don't drink and buy, kiddies) after watching VapingwithTwisted420 & Vaping Vigilante review it (I like these guys - they're both entertaining. Even better together. YMMV). I'm an old guy - hell, I get mailings from AARP (hate those people). I even...

    Composite cotton wick: engineered performance

    Decided to try an idea that came to me at work the other day. Pretty pleased with the result, so I decided to share it. Please excuse the ton of photos - just being thorough. Been playing with some Vapers Choice long-staple cotton, which I really like as it wicks great and is strong, but it...

    RDA If you don't try this, you're missing out

    Personally, I condition the wick using unflavored 50:50 PG/VG and then paint them heavily with my juice. And I use Egyptian cotton. In any case, this general approach gives me the most enjoyable hour or two of vaping of my entire day. Thanks Yosh. YMMV Vape on.

    OMG! I'm a Super Member!

    You people need to be more careful about who you open the door for. :w00t: Seriously, I just wanted to say what an incredible wealth of knowledge ECF represents for the vaping community. Before I joined, every Google search I ran about vaping pointed me here, and every time I learned something...

    Finally pulled the trigger on an Opus BT-C3400

    Couldn't help myself anymore. This thing just pushes all my gadget freak buttons. Sounds pretty useful for culling the weak elements from my battery collection.

    Why your copper mods smell "coppery"

    Stumbled across this article while researching another subject and thought some folks might find it interesting. A 'metallic' smell is just body odour : Nature News

    How do you clean your coils when rewicking?

    I mostly vape NETs these days, so my coils (Claptons more often than not) get pretty gunky at times. For the past couple of months, I've been heating my coils red hot on my mod and then, still powered up, dunk them in a small stream of water from the faucet. They come out nearly oxide free...

    A quick fix for leaky atomizers

    Many of my RDAs have an annoying tendency to leak eliquid past the o-rings that seal the sleeve to the base and all over the top of my mods. I've found that if I install a set of cooling fins beneath the RDA, such as the ones made by HCigar (search "Atomizer Cooling Fin Heatsink") - no more...

    Greetings from Upstate New York

    Hello everyone. I've been lurking/searching ECF for a few weeks and decided it was time to get active and try to give back a little bit of all the great help I've found here. I've been vaping for about six months and have taken up RDAs and coil building as a pastime. I'm a metallurgical...
