    Any mods out there with a wattage lock?

    The last time I went shopping for a new mod I bought the very last GeekVape Aegis Legend that the shop had--their display model. And the reason was because it was the only mod in the place with the option to lock specifically the wattage so that it could not be modified. It seems that all the...

    Any mods out there with a wattage lock?

    Do you know if mech mods are made that operate at around 10 watts?

    Any mods out there with a wattage lock?

    This Aegis Legend 2 mod does not have a wattage lock option. I want to know about box mod models that do have a wattage lock option. I vape at 10 watts, and would prefer a mod that accepts 2x 18650 batteries. Already put 200 watts into my coil once this weekend... took about one second to...

    Any mods out there with a wattage lock?

    My old Geekvape Aegis Legend is finally dead with a "Battery Low Protection" error that refuses to go away. The Aegis Legend 2 I replaced it with is OK, I guess, but it does not allow me to lock the wattage, which means if it gets accidentally pressed I instantly fry my wicks, which is...

    overwhelmed by all the options... looking for good MTL RTA, details inside

    The Ammit is on my list and is one of the six RTAs I received for testing. I'll be posting my thoughts once I give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

    overwhelmed by all the options... looking for good MTL RTA, details inside

    For the last week, I have been trying out the VandyVape Berserker. Impressions: The build deck is very small. Compared to the Ares it is tiny. I can't see a coil of inner diameter larger than 2mm fitting on the Berserker's deck. There were zero issues with leaking. For me the Ares was a...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    So it's been 5 or 6 days and I changed out the wick this morning. Wick was easily removable. No burning has occurred. Wick rinsed clean to white except for directly under the coil, where a slight brownish discoloration remained. Wicked again on the same coil in the same fashion and again...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    I pulled out the second wick (or tried to!) It was in there so tight I had trouble removing it. When I did get it out, it was charred, with some very dark nearly black areas where it sat inside the coil that did not rinse out with running water. The stiff twisted coil provided enough lateral...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    The wick material I am using is actually Graham Beauty CelluCotton 100% Rayon #44130. It is a 40ft box, not 100ft. I must have confused 100% with 100ft. And Sally Beauty with Graham Beauty. I should pay more attention when I try to provide background information! Pretty sure it IS actually...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    My coils are not spaced. I squeeze the coils shut with ceramic forceps after burning them red-hot to make sure they are contacting evenly. The first wick, when I pulled it, was black all along the inner diameter of the coil. The black didn't rinse out under the faucet, either. It was for...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    As for (1), I have been using my own mix of 70/30 : PG/VG for a long time now and I have never had issues with it. As for (2), you might be right about firing too hot on that first build. Logically, if I am firing a .35ohm coil at 12 watts I should be firing a 1.2ohm coil at less than 12...

    burning and/or bown discoloration of wick against coil

    I have been building my own atomizers for a few years now, on and off. Recently (within the last six months) I started using RTA style devices exclusively, so I have built and wicked quite a few. Rayon has become my goto material for wicking, as for me it seems to last longer and generally...

    So it seems FastTech is a bit of a misnomer... after more than five weeks my new tanks have (finally!) arrived. Based suggestions in this thread and elsewhere on ECF, I picked up: VandyVape Berserker MTL RTA VandyVape Berserker 1.5 MTL RTA Coppervape Skyline RTA clone Ehpro True MTL RTA...

    overwhelmed by all the options... looking for good MTL RTA, details inside

    Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Looks like Doggystyle has a polycarbonate tank... I vape lots of citrus so that's another concern I didn't even think about until now. None of the tanks mentioned are very expensive on fastech. I'm gonna pick up a few and see what I like. I'll report back...

    overwhelmed by all the options... looking for good MTL RTA, details inside

    Howdy ECF, I am looking for some assistance wading through the large number of RTA options on the market right now. Here's my situation: The Innokin Ares, my first RTA, has been my main drag for about four months now and it isn't working out for me. It needs a 3mm diameter coil to get enough...

    Tasteless RDA!!!!

    If you are not getting any flavor at 75w on your coil try vaping at a lower wattage on that coil... I am running a single .65 ohm coil in my RDA and any more than about 20 watts starts to kill the flavor IMO.

    Signs you vape too much

    For me it's when I can taste the blood in my throat... too much vapor dries me out and gives me nosebleeds!

    Sally Beauty 100% Rayon Cellucotton and the initial "off" taste

    Do we have any intel on what causes this and whether or not it is harmful?

    18650 charger with voltage cutoff under 4.2 volts?

    Sounds to me based on these few responses and the other threads on this forum that I am perhaps a little too concerned with this. I think I'm just gonna get the Nitecore D4 and hope for the best. Thanks for the replies.

    18650 charger with voltage cutoff under 4.2 volts?

    I am a newbie to regulated mods with external batteries. After much reading, I decided to purchase the LG HG2 IMR18650 batteries for their reliability and convenient compromise between draw and capacity. The literature I reviewed suggests that a battery's lifespan can be greatly improved if it...
