    Flat Wrap/Zig Zag Heating Element

    So I tried this the other day and it's been working excellently. Good flavor and vapor. I want to call it a heating element because it is no longer a coil IMO. I did a seven fold element with 30SWG nichrome and it is metering .6 ohms as a dual element. I have the center post leads bent with two...

    RBA Materials

    I'm sure it's been asked but is there any greater health risk with NiChrome versus Kanthal, Silica vs all the other wicks? I would like to know that I am using the healthiest materials I can when I rebuild. I know nickel can poison, aluminum can give Alzheimer's, silica can cause silicosis. I...

    I'm trying to get into DIY juice

    I am trying to get into DIY and I want to use natural flavors rather than artificial flavors. Are there any vendors that have natural flavors or do I have to extract them myself? Also, pretty much how this works is mix your desired amount of flavors into a base liquid and get it all to the...

    Curiosity about Kanthal

    Kanthal is made with aluminum. Hasn't heating aluminum been related to Alzheimer's? Not trying to worry people or anything it might very well not work that way.

    500x3500 stainless steel mesh

    Found this looking for #500 mesh. Micronic Filtration - Twill Dutch Weave Filter Cloth Just wondering if anyone has seen or tried it. No "about us" page so I don't know where they are located but the phone number is a Washington state number. I would think the wicking capability of this would...

    Made my own genesis. I need a little help though.

    Hey everyone, so I finally made a genesis. Problem is I can't get it to perform like other genesis atomizers I have seen. Not to mention the extreme throat hit. I am using .2mm kanthal and 325 mesh. I tried 3 wraps and got about .9 ohms right now with six full wraps I am getting about 2.4 ohms...

    Idea for hybrid atomizers

    Does the wick in the new HH .357 and hybrid atomizers get the liquid from the stainless steel mesh? I was thinking about combining a hybrid atomizer with a gummy tank. That way the mesh is always wet until your tank runs dry. Any ideas?

    The Coil Over

    I got bored today and wanted to make something. I also realized that my provari nor my buzz will hit the voltage I want with a 3.5 Ohm atomizer. So I took the top cap from my buzz and a coat hanger. I wound the coat hanger in a spring shape to hold 2 16340s. They sit in the spring positive down...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    I have been digging through raidy's posts on the E-rauchen-forum.de, as well as PMed him. He linked me to one of his catch all threads for his mods. Very good work, I asked him what he recommends for a microprocessor control mod and he recommend the ATTiny25. After hours of reading through the...

    Opinions on provaris please

    So I like the chrome, but I am worried that it won't hold up well. I take good care of it but I am worried if I drop it once the chrome will start peeling off or get pretty messed up. I am going to buy one but I was thinking that the satin finish would hide anything that did happen better than...

    I found Kanthal

    I sent the Kanthal company an email directly and they said they don't sell anything under a 50LB spool of what I was looking for. So they gave me the name to two other companys that sell smaller amounts. I emailed them they their response Jeff, We do have 32 ga. KA1 wire available. We...

    Starting a genesis build

    I am going to build a genesis. I've recently found I have a connection to a lathe and a machinist to teach me so I a going to build one. I will be posting about the process and progress of the construction. With summer around the corner I may just be able to get enough of my own time to do this...

    Question about a VV mod.

    Could this chip be used in a dual 18650 VV mod? Digi-Key - LTM4609EV#PBF-ND (Manufacturer - LTM4609EV#PBF) It's 98% efficient. The hard part seemingly would be soldering. Maybe I'd have to get them produced? Thanks for your help.

    Bottom feeder for any e cig!

    This is still in the works but when it is done I will be sure to post a couple pictures and I'll either sell them or make a how to or both. I don't know if this already exists but I think it's a great idea. It is pretty simple actually. What I'm going to do is make an atomizer extender with a...

    Wickless atty

    I'm tired of burnt wick taste. So I was thinking about making an atty that is inside a silicone tube, or maybe a glass tube. The tube will split in to two tubes at the bottom. One will be the air supply the other will go to a reservoir of e liquid. Will the suction draw fluid through when taking...

    recommendations please.

    I was thinking about getting a buzz from notcigs.com. Anyone have another recommendation for something else? The provari seems expensive and unnecissary. the infinity looks like the battery wouldn't last as long as the buzz. Anyway, I'm curious to hear what you say.

    Atty types?

    I searched but couldn't find the answers I'm looking for. So what's the advantages and disadvantages of the different types of atomizers? I started using the 510. Should I switch to something different? I am thinking about getting a Buzz. I was going to get it with a 510 connection...
