    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    UPDATE: After several tweaks and variations, I have a eureka moment, a VERY amazing vape, and I'm overflowing with gratitude for all the help. You guys are just the best. Success was found in a single coil 1.5 ohm microcoil w/28g kanthal 80/20 VG/PG blend at around 4mg nic, very light on...

    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    Alright, cut it back to 100%vg, nic and flavor free. The burning is gone, vapor production pretty poor. I'm going to rule out the Kanthal and wicking next, try some silica and a thinner gauge... some sample shipped with the Tobh atties. Too tired tonight, though. I cannot thank you all...

    Hmm... never really thought of the nic affecting feeling before. Definitely gonna try some 0mg pure VG to test. Thanks man.

    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    Thanks much for the response, guys. I decided to do a new build after I got home from work tonight, and take pictures during the process. Ended up at ~1.1 ohms this time. Coil 1 in place. Coil 2 Wicks Wicks tucked down into place I attempted to align air holes with the coils...

    RDA First RDA, epic fail :/

    I've been away from ECF for awhile... life's been crazy. The last real mod I had was a Darwin, before I picked up an MVP, then a whole lotta generic ego's and CE5's... fit the bill for the time. After watching a Grimmgreen vid on the ipv v2, I picked one up along with a couple of TOBH clones...

    Anything important from the last 6 months or so? :P

    Hey guys, haven't been on the forum for around a half a year... haven't kept up to date on anything in the vaping world honestly. Just got my Darwin back from repairs and the new blue LCD is friggin' epic. Other than that, I'm clueless on any recent developments. Anything of importance happen...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    My Darwin is sick :( It's one of the originals, an OG Darwin. I suppose its finally showing its age... I contacted Evolve, and within 24 hours there was an email back asking me to mail him away, and they will fix him. It still... works... sort of... with a randomly functioning LCD and I'm stuck...

    New Vaper here! Howdy all!

    Glad you're making the switch! I find vaping to be more satisfying than smoking ever was after I grew used to it. It was a rocky start, and difficult at first, but now I love the habit. Still get my nicotine, and I love the heck out of vaping!

    Testing 1 2 3, testing 1 2 3.

    I always use separate atomizers if the flavors are different. I buy in bulk from china, get around 50 atties for about 70-80 bucks shipped. If the flavors aren't too far off from each other, or mix ok (like different fruit flavors) I'll just start a new flavor on top of the old one, possibly...

    ECF App??

    I second the tapatalk app. I still personally prefer my PC for browsing the forum, but tapatalk is certainly worth the small price for mobile forum goodness. You'll notice on an android it will even mention tapatalk when you go to forums like this on your browser. If you frequent multiple...

    Riva and Ego 1100 mah batteries - the difference?

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the physical button on the Riva vs eGo, at least the genuine joye eGo. I personally much preferred my Riva button, and I know there were many who agreed with me on that. A minor difference, to be sure, but something to consider.

    More of my favorite flavor arrived today :D

    I'm so excited! Got more Green Apple from PA in today. I had been looking to recreate Green Apple from VaporBomb, and PA had 5 different Apple flavors, so my last order was small amounts of each of them. After finding out with apple it was I ordered a big bottle of it, but I've been without my...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    I couldn't have said that better. Honestly, I couldn't have said that nearly as well, either, but who's counting? ;) But really you nailed it on the head. The Darwin is really beautiful in its own way. Maybe it was because I was in the military, but I love the rugged almost army look. It was...

    Interested in starting.

    I smoked Menthols, and ended up vaping peppermint and green apple of all things. Green flippin' apple. Just got another batch of flavoring for it today :D In other words, you may enjoy something you'd never expect. Glad you found the forum, if you've any questions at all along the way (I'm...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    I really want a second Darwin :D Maybe I can sell this one to my sister and pick up one of the newer ones. All because of the deeper blue screen... I'm sold. If It'll match my computer rig setup with the black and blue's, its worth the cash to upgrade :D Yes, I'm a tad OCD about that lol

    Back To Analogs :-(

    Bad timing for all this to happen with the USPS bogged down, but I'm glad everythings going to work out :D

    Throat hit

    Increasing voltage does give more throat hit, but it must be balanced with the right resistance of atomizer... it all comes down to wattage. Lower resistance with the same voltage = higher throat hit. Increased voltage on the same resistance, same thing. Thats why I love variable wattage... you...

    I haven't hogtten a weird looks or questions...

    I use my Darwin in public... most people think its a Breathalyzer. I had it charging in my car and one guy thought it was a drunk driving device that I had to blow in to start my car. :blink: ...I really need a portable unit.
