    Question about Novo 2 pod rebuild

    Thanks for the reply. I have tried that method and the flat part of the pins (picture above) will not press fit if the coil wire (I tried 32 gauge) is in the way. I may have to make a few more attempts because I really would like to be able to recoil these pods.

    Question about Novo 2 pod rebuild

    Hey guys, so I've been rewicking the 1.2 ohm Novo pods for a while now. It's a great way to save $, but I've been wondering if it is possible to recoil them. I tried recoiling one today and while it is a pain, it can be done. What I've noticed though, is that the stock coil is crimped into a...

    Looking for MOD/ RDA recommendations

    Are you looking for a Variable Voltage device or Mech Mod? I'm guessing a VV device. I'm about to recommend a device that has been out for a long time but may still be the best VV device for the money. It's the MVP V2. Also keep an eye out for a new device called the Eleaf. It looks...

    I feel like I chain smoked 2 packs of stinkies

    Vaping is generally know to dry your throat to begin with. Certain juices will make it worse of course. I'd have to say that the heat is certainly a factor. Most (if not all) of us have experienced what you are talking about. Keep in mind also that the seasons are changing (allergies and...

    I've settled on a coil.

    Twisted single coil is my fav also. I use 30 gauge at about .8-.9 ohms. The coil heats up instantly and is great for 2 second mouth-lung hits. Although, it seems that 30 gauge is getting harder to find in local shops.

    cleaning coils

    Sure you can. I've even used dish soap and an old toothbrush to scrub a coil. As long as you rinse it properly and give it a good dry burn.

    Mechanical clone durability vs price?

    I finally wound up getting an Hcigar Nemesis clone (stainless w gold rings) about a week ago. They are going for 30 bucks on evcigerettes.com. Honestly, I can't imagine the authentic version being any better. Great threads, great finish, even the firing button is flawless. I can't think of a...

    Hooked on Vaping and Need Help with Batteries

    OP, I started out the same way. After all, who wants to tote around something that looks like a garage door opener? I'll tell you this though, go ahead and get a box mod. You will not regret it. I haven't been on in a while so there is no telling what devices there are to choose from 'nowa...

    Twisted 30 gauge with cotton and .8-.9 ohms is my go to. I don't know any crazy names for it but if you haven't tried it you should check it out. BTW I tend to make it micro

    my first coil build!!!!!!!!! nice!!

    What size wire are you using? I'm guessing massive. Larger wire takes much longer to heat up.

    XP hangs after bad virus definitions are sent to MSE 4-15

    +1 for 7. I hung on to XP for a long time myself, but would have to say I prefer Windows 7 to anything else. Skip Vista all together and so far I can't say I'm crazy about 8.

    So I bought an mvp2 from myvaporstore for $70...

    That sucks. If it makes you feel any better, it's totally worth 70 bucks.

    Ok, here are the basics. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Might not be a bad time to mention amperage discharge rating. When getting into rebuild-able attys and mechs, one of the things to learn your way around is how much of an amp draw your battery can handle. Mah is a measurement of duration of a battery's charge while amp rating is a measurement...

    Hi to everyone, several questions on vaping

    Lol, Dixie you sound like my wife. I always say that her super power is to destroy any electronic device within her arm's reach. Sorry but can't help much with the menthol (makes me gag), but RTS vapes is the website that I order all my DIY stuff from. Great site, great service, decent...

    Hangover after vaping vs. smoking

    Well, since I hit 30, a hangover will last for the rest of the weekend for me. I never thought I'd spend the night of drinking considering the impending hangover to come, but, aaagh I do. That being said, if I drink a bit I always try to drink a considerable amount of water before going to...
