    New dual 18650 controlled mod - the fourth dimension

    A dual 18650 mod IMO can be considered 'light' below 150gr (batteries excluded), assuming it's made of metal of course

    How many years you are a vaper and how much do you vape per day?

    5+ years a vaper, some 10ml a day. No nicotine, FWIW

    I don't even trim rayon (or cotton) any more... I always use the Scottish roll method, rayon or cotton, and when the wick is solidly in place in the coil I start pulling out fibers from the tails until they fit in the channels. Began doing that for RDTAs, now I use the method for just about any...

    Personally, I'd install Linux Mint (or Ubuntu) on that laptop and keep on using Firefox forever [emoji2] Built-in 4G connectivity shouldn't be a deciding factor with a new laptop IMO, any vaguely recent smartphone will allow you to use Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/USB tethering for connecting to the 'net

    Uniform firmware for many devices - ArcticFox + NFirmwareEditor

    Probably yes, the point is how much in case. Have you tried a different wire material on that specific atomizer, by chance, or that wire on another atomizer?

    Uniform firmware for many devices - ArcticFox + NFirmwareEditor

    I'm wondering if you may have a wrong TCR value for your specific SS316L wire... Have you tried playing with custom tcr values instead of using the default SS316 profile? Just a thought...

    Yes! It resuscitated my oldish istick TC100W, after seeing first hand how good it was I've flashed it onto most devices we have (istick pico, evic mini, Cuboid, you name it) Great firmware, and excellent pc software to go with it I'm vaping right now on the tc100w reborn, with a - very...

    Rayon Wick - Better Flow, Flavor, Longevity, and Nic Hit!! - Pt.2

    I know what you mean... IMO it's not the SS wire, it's the TC... I always find it to be an anemic, unsatisfying vape, and I need to push wattage/temp way up than I would otherwise. I'm back to Kanthal myself for the most part, just some SS on mechs for its 'turbo ramp-up' feature. For anything...

    Thus, since most commercial juices contain a minimum of 5-10% water in them, we should take the advice with a grain of salt, me thinks...

    Evolv-ing Thread

    I always use VG diluted with some 10-15% water, which should bring down its boiling point well below the 200C/390F temp (more likely in the 150C/300F range) - instead of the 270C/520F of pure VG. I'm wondering if any nasties can be generated at all, at such a relatively low temperature...
