    Smok TFV8 tanks

    Probably the best idea, already spent to much time trying to find the problem. The tanks on there now are working so I'll buy new ones, no rush.

    Smok TFV8 tanks

    Coil Master tester with no coil I get a reading of ---0. Since I have nothing left to loose I took a car battery and resistance wire to put about 20 amps through the bottom piece and RBA hoping it would clean or weld parts together. I don't think it did anything since I'm getting the same...

    Smok TFV8 tanks

    A little more detail into what was happening. With the Smok vaporizer and the orange tank (TFV8), some normal vaping where the current was about 11 amps but also some with a current of less than 1 amp producing no vapor. Seems there has to be a high resistance in the circuit. I cleaned the...

    Smok TFV8 tanks

    I've been using the Smok TFV8 tanks with SS coils and RBA decks for years. They were great on flavor and the SS coils could be cleaned by burning. The last time I went to burn off the coils I got a dark colored coil instead of the silver metallic color. I decided to put in newly made coils...

    Voopoo Drag

    I really don't like the five clicks a on off would be nice and as you say you can't vape with it locked.

    I've got the same vaporizer, I got the x tank also but since I like stainless steel coils I used an older TFV8 Big Baby Beast tank with an RBA. I tried ordering a RBA for the X tank but it won't fit the tank so I'm out a few dollars. I did use the X tank when it first came in without problems...

    Voopoo Drag

    Press the Fire button and up button at the same time for 1.5 s and it will lock, pressing both again unlocks it. This locks the device and it can not be fired or the settings changed I've noticed changes in mode after setting it aside or in my pocket, I really don't use the lock mode that...

    Hi, I've also got the Smok X-Priv, a very good vaporizer. I've ordered an RBA kit for it so I'll be using a stainless steel coil which will last years. If it gets carboned up you remove the wick and burn off the carbon and don't have to buy atomizers.

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    After not smoking a pipe for 2 years while vaping instead I tried the pipe again, different ball game, you puff on it not inhaling then you can inhale a little bit, flavor is so strong. When I first began vaping I got no flavor just watched the vapor. Another vaporizer gave some flavor. I...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    I got my Pico when it first came out with the original software, maybe the software was upgraded in previous models. The atomizers that came with it gave good flavor which helped since the Kanger gave so little. I could use nickel coils but not SS in both of them. Things have changed a lot...

    Eleaf iStick "pico"

    I have a Pico, great when I first got it since I was able to get some flavor from it. When I got into SS coils that I think are great the Pico and Kanger was not able to use the SS coils so I went to Smok and Voopoo.

    Favorite tobacco flavoring discussion - Tobacco flavoring discussion only

    I used to visit here very often when I first started DIY and I'm glad I did since staying with the tobacco flavors was the best decisions I made. I've pulled in quite a few other flavors to add to the tobaccos. I've found that hot water steeping increased the flavor the liquid was able to...

    New wire arrived... but what to do with it?!

    I only use SS since you can burn it to clean it and I use RTA. I make Claptons in a dual coil setup, total resistance .4 ohms. I have some flat SS but still haven't decided how to use it, the flat gives you area but how to wind it. I use 3 mm and 2.5 mm wrap, I can go between the two sized to...

    SMOK Big Baby Light and RBA head

    From earlier days I have 3 TFV8 big baby beast tanks, all have the RBA so I can use SS coils. I use my vape store and it supplies all the info on what will work with what which makes things easier. I also used a China based website for some parts for Smok, a bit cheaper and hard to find items...

    Voopoo Drag

    I got my new Voopoo and have been using it all day yesterday. I had to look through the manual to change the display and also came across the lock function. Press the Fire button and up button at the same time for 1.5 s and it will lock, pressing both again unlocks it. This locks the device...

    It's 2028, what does vaping look like?

    Because of the e cars that will be produced I think we'll have better batteries at a lower price although I don't have battery problems now. I've got two vaporizers I no longer uses because all efforts to switch to SS coils failed although it was stated they will work with SS, I use the 2 newer...

    Voopoo Drag

    My Voopoo fell in the bathroom sink, I pulled it out quickly took out the batteries and let it sit for a few hours, when I tried it the screen didn't look right so I turned on the stove and let it sit on top of the warm stove. I unscrewed and lifted the plastic a little to let moisture out...

    Voopoo Drag

    In response to the above post I'll say I'm sorry you're not happy with the Voopoo. I had to wait a few years to get a mod that would really handle the SS coils, the Smok was the first mod to do that but was double the price of the Voopoo which also can handle the SS. The Voopoo has become my...
