    Aspire Zelos 50W kit

    I'm glad that information was useful, and, actually, it appears you knew what to do but were confused because you received incorrect advice from the sales staff.

    Aspire Zelos 50W kit

    I've used 50/50, 30/70 and Max VG in my Zelos kit without any problems. If you're using the .7 ohm coil, which is one of the two coils that comes with the kit, it has an 18 to 23 watt recommended range of use from Aspire and using 10 or 12 watts is probably too low a power setting and could...

    I just entered your build parameters into the coil wrapping calculator at steam-engine.org. The suggested wattage for your build for a cool vape is 68 watts. A stone cold vape would be around 40 watts and a hot vape would be 120 watts. So, unless I'm missing something, you might want to...

    Scott, I don't take anything personally unless it's explicitly personal, and I appreciate your concern for my feelings. I don't have any special knowledge or research skills I'm trying to wield or protect here, I'm just trying to think clearly about such concepts as risk and harm and the...

    Thank you for the information. I'm afraid I'm guilty of brandishing my ignorance again. I dropped chemistry because the classroom was stuffy and I found the class uninteresting. I took biology of animals instead - but I've forgotten all that information too.

    Dearest Anna, Mr. or Mrs. Porcupine, as the case may be, did indeed imply that I am too lazy to research a topic before asking about it. If you can't see that, and if you haven't noticed his/her very sarcastic tone then nothing I can write here will convince you otherwise. And when Mr...

    Thank you for the apology. Let me see if I can state my argument more clearly. I don't read "ONLY the pro-vaping slants". Almost everything I read or hear about vaping actually has an anti vaping bias. In fact, the only pro vaping slant I'm aware of is the one I inferred from what I've read...

    The term I used was "studying", but I did not mean directed research about any specific element of vaping. Rather I have been surveying articles and postings just as most average readers would do. I did not intend to represent myself as an authority; just as an interested user with an opinion...

    If any of you can elaborate on the dangers presented by carbonyls or any other explanation why the risk is non-zero I'd like to read about it.

    Speeder on sale. Should I?

    Well, Anna, it sounds like you want someone to play the part of the devil and lead you into temptation - so I'll volunteer. I like the Invoke, but my Speeder looks and feels nicer to me. It feels and looks like a more expensive piece of gear. It will handle heavy duty low resistance coils -...

    As far as I can tell, after studying the subject for the last year, there is no credible, conclusive evidence that vaping is harmful in any way. And nicotine, as long as one does not ingest quantities great enough to be poisonous, does no damage to the human body either. People simply enjoy...

    Speeder on sale. Should I?

    That is a great deal on the Speeder at MFS for $30, but when I leave the house I take the Invoke simply because it's easier to pocket.

    Aspire Speeder 200W mod

    I really enjoy mine - love that big thumb button. And Aspire has offered two firmware updates with new features and the option of a screen menu system versus the key combination method of operation. I did have an annoying problem with mine for a few months: the plastic switch on the battery...

    How can I use temperature control on the Aspire Skystar Revvo kit best?

    The Triton mini is a good choice for temperature control with the available nickel coils. Just select Ni from the temp control coil selection menu on the Skystar, dial in the temperature you want (Aspire recommends 380F to 420F) and you're ready to vape. The bore on the Ni200 coils is just...

    Mod to buy

    I bought, via mail order, an Aspire Zelos kit eight months ago and used it to quit a forty year cigarette habit. It's compact, has an internal 2500mah battery and uses the Nautilus 2 tank. It's strictly an MTL device, but, of course, you can use the mod with whatever tank you wish should you...

    Do you still crave/like the smell of real cigarettes since switching ?

    Eight months ago I ended a 43 year, pack a day cigarette habit when my Aspire Zelos starter kit arrived in the mail. It was something of a surprise to discover how bad cigarette smoke smells to me once I stopped smoking them.

    My Review of the Eleaf Invoke kit

    My silver finish Eleaf Invoke mod arrived from FastTech yesterday, and I've been using it steadily since with a variety of MTL and DL tanks. Works well, looks nice, legible screen, very compact and it's really inexpensive for a contemporary, dual battery mod - currently under $30 (mod only) at...

    Kayfun Prime by SXK or YFTK? (Attack of the clone)

    I haven't heard (or read) anything about differences in the top cap on the SXK and YFTK Prime clones. I did read that someone suggested the air flow control is more precise on the YFTK, but it's an anecdotal account. All I can attest to is that for the few days I've owned it the SXK has...

    Kayfun Prime by SXK or YFTK? (Attack of the clone)

    I received my SXK Prime four days ago and it's been working well. I also have an SXK V5 Mini and an SXK Mini V3 that both work fine. Occasionally I'll get some leaking from the air flow control or the base hardware on both the V5 and V3, but all my rebuildables have leaked at one time or...

    Looking for tube under $50

    Technically, it's not a mech, but the Aspire CF Mod works just like a mech with the benefit of safety features like short circuit and over current protection. The voltage output is not regulated so the user is vaping what the battery can deliver to the specific coil being used. It uses regular...
