    Anyone ever disassembled IPV Eclipse?

    Hi there. So I got this IPV Eclipse, and I do like the size and the big HD screen. Problem is, I think I got a bad batch. After using it a few weeks (less than a month), it suddenly fires on its own, without anything going near it, let alone the firing button. I even have it on video, coz it's...

    Recommend a new RDA?

    Oh btw, are there any other Geekvape RDAs that are as good or even better than the Tsunami? Flavor-wise.

    Recommend a new RDA?

    Liking what I saw in the link and some reviews. Ordered one, but it's gonna take 1-2 weeks to arrive. I'll update my experience when it arrived. Thank you very much :)

    Recommend a new RDA?

    Yes, the Pharaoh 25mm. I read a review somewhere about it being one of the best flavored RDA. Couldn't find an authentic Kennedy on fasttech. Only knockoffs (styled) ones. I try to avoid knockoffs for quality reasons. I actually used the Tsunami 24 knockoff originally, but I bought an...

    Recommend a new RDA?

    Hi everyone. So I've been using the Tsunami 24 for 1-2 years now. Absolutely love the flavor. I'm not going crazy with my build, just 0.4ohms (total) of dual 24ga coils at 37-40W. Well, one of the chimney has gotten loose (wobbling), and I'm getting leaks more often. I'm thinking it's time to...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Hi, sorry for late reply. Yeah I managed to build stable coils for my Tsunami now, with the help of the ceramic rod. Another 'duh moment' for me: never cool down the ceramic rod by dunking it into water. It cooled super fast, but after doing it 3-4 times, the rod snapped middle way, when I was...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Yeah, tried that, shoving a metal jig into the coil when pre-firing, but it sparked and/or 'too low resistance'. 'Duh' moment for me, I'm basically shorting a circuit. It only became possible to do that with a ceramic jig that's non conducting. Successfully done it with my current setup, 24...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Hi, sorry for not checking in for a while. I solved the problem with the coil master ceramic jig recommended above. It'd be a lot easier to use 2 sets, naturally, but I get by with just 1 set. So I pre-fire the coils one by one. Install one coil first, shove the ceramic jig in there...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Yeah, tried that too. Pressed the fire button until I see a little red glow, then let go for about half second, and press it again for half second, and so on. Still got skewed :(

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Hi, sorry didn't check in for a while That seems interesting. I don't know if it will fix my problem or not, but it is interesting. I tried doing it, leaving the jig in the middle of the coil and pressed fire, but I got sparks and immediately stopped. It's conductive metal, so 'duh' for me...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Hi, I got both ceramic and regular (aluminum?) bent tweezers. I got no problem using either one when working on glowing coils. Even the metal one took some time for the heat to reach my fingers. When it's already skewed and distorted, I can't bend it back using tweezers. I mean I could bend it...

    Kanthal coil got skewed after dry firing

    Hi everyone, So I'm using a tsunami RDA, 24GA, 8 wraps each, with coil master coil jig. I'm not looking for crazy cloud, just the balance of decent cloud vs flavor. Recently I switched to the 3.5mm size jig, and love it more than 2.5 or 3.0 size. The problem is, when I install new coils, and...

    Battery Charger

    Spec wise, the I2's output is at 0.5A. I tried 'racing' both chargers. I have 2 similar batteries, both reported empty by my mod. Charged one in I2, the other in the standard charger. The standard one finished when I2 still charging. From that moment, I kept using my standard charger.

    Battery Charger

    I'm just using a standard 'nameless' charger. It gets the job done. I have a nitecore I2, but don't use it anymore because it's slower than the one I'm using.

    Battery Charger

    Hi, I couldn't find a sub-forum about batteries, so I thought I'd post it here. Just need your thought on what just came to my mind about battery chargers. So I'm using a regular charger, right. It's rated at 1A, 4.2V output. I'm noticing that the time it took to charge a 50% battery is longer...

    RX 2/3 Owner's Thread

    How do you use the TC? My other mod is the IPV D2, and I can use the TC function, even when I'm using kanthal. With the RX, I set the mode to TC, detected the resistance, set the watt. When firing, it will go for about 1-2 seconds, and then automatically switch back to VW, with 20W output. Does...

    RX 2/3 Owner's Thread

    Yes, I forgot to update what happened. I'll write it here, so it may be useful if someone else go through the same thing. I browsed around, and found the solution. So I took off the battery (can be both, but I left one inside, since the circuit will remain open anyway), and plug the USB cable...

    RX 2/3 Owner's Thread

    Hello. I don't know if this is the right place to post my question, but I think it's better to ask here than to open a new topic. So I just got the RX 2/3. Today I thought I'm gonna update the firmware, and put in my custom logo. So I downloaded the updater program from Wismec's web (ver 4.12)...

    wicking

    Hi, and thank you very much for all your replies. Kinked wick may be exactly my problem. I installed a new set of wicks, still scottish roll, taking care of the notes above when I bent the tails. Now I got 7-8 drags with the same setup. 10 drags max if I fill the juice well full to the verge of...

    Day 4 off cancer sticks! Curious about some things...

    Hey there. I made the switch around a year ago, so yeah, I'm still considered new, I guess :) I was a heavy smoker, 3 packs a day, 20+ years. When making the switch, I got hit by the withdrawal symptoms quite hard. I got a post about that somewhere in this forum. Well, what I did was I...
