    Flavor Carrier

    Well, as this topic does not show up in a title search, I decided to create one. The question is, is PG really the "Flavor Carrier". How did this concept come about. And if you agree, what PG/VG ratio do you find best for flavor? Reference to studies if they exist please.

    Going Back to the Shoulder Method

    I wick with rayon. I liberally thin the tails so as to not choke the ports. I generally get good flow but, I do get a fair amount of pops. I did try the shoulder method (cutting half the wick off close to the top of the coil). Didn't see any improvement but, I'm having second thoughts. I'm...

    Why'd My Resistance Change

    Tried to rewick my Dead Rabbit RTA today using same coils (28 ga SS316). Burned them off and was surprised to see an increase in resistance (.51 to .79). Can't remember if this is the first or second rewicking. So the question is, can wire go bad this quick or did I miss a contact issue?

    The Distillation Problem

    We all know how distillation works. Control the boiling temp of a liquid and everything with a boiling point below that temp boils off. Great for moonshine, not so for atomizers. I clearly notice the difference in the juice as I go through a tank. I did consider that if the tank was truly...

    Boiling Point Calculator?

    Seen a post herein show boiling points of different mixes but, its limited. I'm presently vaping 12.5/87.5 pg/vg w/ 7% whiskey. Plan on dumping the alcohol and going straight water. Just the same, does anyone know of a calculator or detailed chart?

    How Long Does Your Rayon Wick Last?

    Forgive me but, I don't want to read through 2000 posts to find the answer. Last night I read a post that said his wick lasted 100 ml (I'll bet ya he changes his socks once a week). I am a rayon wicking novice but, I've got the basics down (tight in the coils, thin in the tails) and am wicking...

    Side by Side Comparison: OBS Engine II vs Dead Rabbit RTA

    I am fortunate enough to have the above two atomizers and am on my first tank of juice with both. Have to say, good comparisons are based on identical conditions but, that I can't offer. Both started with identical dual coils, 26ga, 6 wraps, 2.5 mm id, rayon wick but, the Rabbit is reading .21...

    Vape Tastes Different Question

    Have been vaping Prime Vaping's "Natural Virginia NET" through a Vaporesso Baby Cascade w/ cCell ceramic. On a fresh coil its a sweet and pleasant flavor. Just cranked up my new Dead Rabbit RTA (dual coil SS316, 26ga, 6 wraps, 2.5mm id, 0.26 ohm, rayon wick). And it doesn't taste the same...

    Prime Vaping: Alive and Well ???

    Anyone dealing with this company. I placed one order with them and it went well. Placed a second and they're still processing twelve days later. Can't get their web based e-mail to work in two browsers and calling them gets you a flat response answering machine.

    Advice on Cleaning Ceramic Coils Please

    I use Vaporesso cCell 2 ceramic coils with high VG juice. Probably from over shooting on temperature, they gunk up and become bitter after four days. So, what solvent would you soak them in to clean them?

    Garbage, Garbage, Garbage

    I've coined a new acronym: RCA. That stands for Rebuildable Crap Atomizer. I am now on a streak of four defective rebuidables in two weeks. Two bottom flow RTA's (Geek Vape Ammit Dual, Vandy Vape Kensei), A top flow RTA (OBS Engine II) and a mesh (Digiflavor Themis). The two bottom flow...

    Heat Capacity and Juice Breakdown

    Read a scientific paper that stated that juice breakdown products (dangerous to your health) are less prevalent in dual coil setups vs single. However, the next question is, if we don't want to overcook our juice, is a larger gauge or smaller gauge wire better in this regard?

    OBS Engine II Short Circuit

    Have a new OBS Engine II. When I screw it down tightly, it shorts. Did a quick test with no liquid or wick and couldn't make it short. Just wicked it again and it shorts. Loosen it a little and it doesn't. I've been very careful with wick placement and also, I'm assuming that the dry test...

    Digiflavor Themis Mesh Availability

    Considering buying this RTA. However, the vast majority of retailers on the web are showing it as out of stock or discontinued. This definitely gives me pause. Your thoughts anyone?

    Jumpy Ohms

    Own a Vaporesso Armour Pro, running ceramic coils. Coils are spec'd at 0.3 ohms. When the mod was new, seemed to be pegged at 0.29. These days I jump around from 0.29 to 0.33 (and it does this by just rebooting the battery). Yes its not a lot but, it does make a big difference in heat...

    Can't Taste Tobacco in NET

    I'm a month and a half into vaping. I use an Armour Pro mod with a ceramic heater. I've primarily vaped Naturally Extracted Tobacco LLC's Big Spirit, cold macerated and have moved on to double extract NET. However, I really don't taste tobacco. I'm on my third ceramic coil. When I changed...

    SS Coil: Maximum Temperature?

    Sorry I'm physics challenged. However, when looking at Innokin's SS coils, I noticed that the box suggested a maximum of 475F. As I'm in the market for a tank for 100% VG / temperature control, it appears that this coil would be inadequate. I've looked at Kangertech and Crown IV SS coils also...

    Temperature Control and Boiling Point

    Made an attempt to find an answer for this but, struck out. Therefore, please explain how most people can be happy with a TC of mid 400F for vaping when the boiling point of VG is 555F? What physics am I missing about the TC process?
