    Battery confusion!

    With a regulated mod, the resistance isn't all that important. The voltage you see on the screen is the voltage the mod is sending to the atomizer, not the voltage from the batteries. Simply put, those are 20a cells. You have two of them in the mod. You calculate for the worst case scenario of...

    Q: Safe Wattage/Voltage for Mouth to Lung Vaping 0.7 Nautilus 2 Coils

    The easiest answer to wattage is to just start real low and work your way up. When you find what is satisfying to you, that is all that matters. As long as you aren't getting it hot enough to burn the cotton(you will know it when you do...and it will taste awful), if you are satisfied at a lower...

    got a baby alien but now want a more powerful mod ...

    These batteries are likely nowhere near capable of running at the power you demand, hence the instant full to drained. As far as I know, there are no 3500mah 18650s rated for 20 amps, certainly not for 35. Even LG's highest output battery tops out at 30 amps, and it only has a capacity of...

    Building safety basics

    Continuity means that the circuit is closed and complete so power flows from properly. In the case of the coils, it means a complete circuit from the positive connection, through the atomizer, and all the way to the negative.

    Battery charger.

    Sorry about not seeing where someone else suggested it. Out camping with my telescope and just skimmed thru the replies while some clouds are drifting by. Either way, it's good to see that you are looking at quality chargers and no eBay specials for 99 cents lol

    Battery charger.

    I believe the nitecore intellicharger(i2 and i4 series) offers you basically all of the charging features the d2 and d4 models do, just without the fancy display. Last time I looked, they were like half the price of the d series model. That could be something to look into if you are on a really...

    RX200s Chip board

    Buy a new one and keep the old one to salvage parts from if anything else gets damaged on the new one.

    Is it Safe?

    It is a regulated mod, so it doesn't really matter if they are series or parallel. Three 20a cells in series giving 9v(assuming 3v/cell cutoff) gives you 9v times 20 amps, or 180 watts before you take off the 10% for mod inefficiency, bringing you to 162w safely at cutoff. Three 20a cells in...

    Is it Safe?

    Triade is a 3 battery regulated mod with a cutoff of likely 3.2v/cell. Let's use 3 for safety. They are 20a batteries. That gives us 3 batteries times 20 amps, or 60 amps total. Multiply that by the cutoff voltage of 3 volts, and you get 180 watts. Subtract 10%(18 watts) and it tells you 162...

    Cupti .5 vs 1.5

    Try dropping your nic to 6mg. That should help the back of your throat a good deal. There are several ways to accomplish this. You can either just buy 6mg juice, or buy a bottle of 0mg in the same flavor and mix equal parts resulting in 6mg, or you can try finding a bottle of the same flavor in...

    I'm new to vaping

    I don't use lorann, but if memory serves me right, the oil-free versions should be just fine. I believe there are several people on here who use them. Hopefully someone else can pop in here and give a sure answer on it. If you don't want to wait, try searching on the forums for the flavor(s)...

    Rougier lists on their website that it is pure glycerol, so it should be fine. Here is the link to the MSDS, if you want to take a look: Glycerin 100ml - Rougier Pharma of Canada

    I'm new to vaping

    As long as it is 100%(or 99+%) usp glycerine, it should be fine. If you tell us where you got it or what the brand name is, we can probably give you a definitive answer on it.

    Aspire Pockex - No suction / blocked

    This may be dumb, but it looks like the coil has a plug built on one end. Not sure if it is possible to screw it in upside down since the coils appear to have threads on both ends. It may not be a bad idea to check just to be sure you didn't accidentally install it backwards.

    At Which resistance should coils be changed?

    Eventually, the o-rings and seals wear out. If you only saved one, you are back to buying another pack. If you saved them all while buying premade, you have a huge stash for when you choose to rebuild. Also, having more than one means you can always have a couple ready to go. If you need a new...

    New Member - Vaping or Cold Turkey - Help me out guys

    I think you are more hung up on the nicotine thing than you should be. Nicotine in itself is not the awful demon it is portrayed as. It is very much on the same level as caffeine. The problem is that most people just instantly associate nicotine with cigarettes. In a cig, there are literally...

    Question about AAA batteries...

    Assuming they are NIMH batteries, charging to 1.5-1.55 volts is perfectly normal.

    Help! I need to quit smoking...

    No one can really give you a direct answer on this, as it is different for every person. Personally, I like to recommend the subtank mini or toptank by Kanger. They have airflow that can be closed off pretty tight if you don't want much airflow, but also opened up quite a lot of you want a less...

    Joyetech BF SS316 Coils

    Does it taste like gym socks smell? I know that seems like a weird way to say it, but it is what it is. If so, you are probably just experiencing the cotton breaking in. If that is the case, as nasty as it may taste, just try going through the next one for an hour or so. After a tank or few, it...
