    The Death of 510

    I bought some of those. The V1 and the V2 - tiny things that were a royal PITA to build on but fit in a Nautilus tank. Making it 'slightly' easier than simply rebuilding the Nautilus atomizers. While I still own 5 Nautilus-mini clones and 5 vvtf2's +5 20W 'iStick' clones to go with them. :)...

    The Death of 510

    So what happens when the cheap China stuff goes away? IMHO: that will KILL most vendors/markets. Even the Tobacco companies stuff is made in China. This may lead to a SURGE in demand for whatever stockpiles of 510 gear that might exist and when that dries up, then what? While there has always...

    Kayfun History with Release Dates/Years

    Kayfun - got to love em. I started with a couple 3 or 4's (you know the ones with the ZILLION screw together parts?). - very easy to build on - top fill - juice flow control - air flow control For me they were 'ok' but were lacking in both juice capacity and air flow. Then I found a few...

    Quick Watt Question

    IMHO: you should use the wattage that WORKS FOR YOU. The general consensus is to start LOW and slowly increase until you find your 'sweet spot'. :) g.

    Whats going on with my 25R 18650s?

    Simple. Ether by charging or discharging to fast they can no longer hold a load. These are 'spent' and need to be replaced. Remember that LION batteries can only be cycled a handful 100 times. Overheating by charging/discharging to fast will cut the number of cycles dramatically. g.

    Dual Coils in a Single 21700 mod?

    Like everything - it comes down to what wattage your wanting to drive them at is all. While I own over a dozen dual battery mods only 1 of them rarely ever gets any use as I prefer single battery mods. My little 1x18650 Eleaf Pico's fire my Cirrus dual coil atomizers just fine as do my handful...

    Build for battery life

    Well yes and no. There really are no 'rules' however some practices are better than others. As an example instead of using 2 batteries per tank full I can use one. Frankly, I don't really care how long the batteries themselves last as it is a given that only a few 100 charge/discharge cycles...

    So? You ether wish to optimize your battery life or maybe you don't care.

    Build for battery life

    Bingo!! This is what I shoot for as well. I prefer to replace batteries and refill tanks at the same time. So as long as the battery lasts for a tank full - I'm good! :) I will however admit that I have a charge cord @ my night stand so the mod that sits there gets plugged in whenever it needs...

    I wonder?

    I'm sorry but your topic 'does not compute'. You see I'm one of the many that years ago when everything was inexpensive and available stocked up. - the battery sizes used in Vaping are common in other (IE: non-vaping) devices - the raw wire for coils is used for other things - VG is used in...

    Build for battery life

    It really does not matter what brand/model atomizer your using - it is the load on the MOD and battery that matters. The idea/concept is to use builds that are compatible with BOTH your mod and battery configuration. It is very much a miss conception that higher resistance builds are more...

    Build for battery life

    So depending on your mod... with a setting of 4V a single battery MOD will be 'stepping down' for only %20 of the battery life and trying to 'step up' for the remainder of it. Given that stepping up is much less efficient then stepping down you could be loosing battery run time. Given a 3.2...

    Build for battery life

    The following is a chart I made showing different coil resistances, 2 different wattage settings and the voltages and currents required to hit those wattage settings. Note that the listings (excepting the final 3 at the bottom) are in PAIRS with the 2nd resistance being 2x the first resistance...

Watts - all over (TC regulated) however generally < 30W 5. Nic level - I mix both ~7mg and ~18mg 6.Nic Type - I use both 'free base' and...

    Vaping Is Most Economical Nicotine Delivery

    Oh IDK about that - you have to consider what the goal is - inexpensive nicotine delivery. There are FAR more FUN and way way way more HEALTHY things that are FUN that don't involve nicotine. Having 'fun' playing with ones health is not recommended. g.

    Vaping Is Most Economical Nicotine Delivery

    Sorry but I'm afraid that a simple "eye dropper" type dispenser delivering nicotine+optional flavor under the users tongue IS the least expensive nicotine delivery system. g.

    Which Do You Enjoy Vaping and Why?// High Salt Nic @ Low Watts VS Low Nic @ High Watts Experience

    Actually - nether. I'll usually vape 7-18mg with ether salts or freebase DIY juice mixes that might be flavored but often times simply unflavored. All my setups are used with TC regulation. Single coil rigs I use ~20W and the dual coil rigs generally use 25-30W and sometimes upwards of 40-50W...

    How long does 4 100ml bottles last you?

    4x100ml bottles of what? Juice? Nicotine base? I don't really pay attention to how much of the various flavored and unflavored juice I mix up but I go though ~240ml of 100mg base once or twice a year. I see my last order of 43oz of VG was Sept 2020 and I'm almost out and need to order more. g.

    LostVape Thelema Quest Temp Control Help.

    Well I guess 'delicate' is very relative to ones perspective. Try 32AWG Ni200 sometime. LOL!! Here's a link to a free wire calculator. It has a BUNCH of different wire types. I'd suggest using one that has at least a TCR of 200 or more. Steam Engine Wire/Coil Calculator Personally I mostly...

    LostVape Thelema Quest Temp Control Help.

    IMHO: most 'vaping' happens between 300-400F (as I recall ~420F cotton will ignite and rather nasty gasses are made @ >= 420-450F). There are two approaches to TC vaping: 1. Use the same wattage as you would of in 'power mode' and set your temperature to the best flavor for the juice your...
