A Demon Farted In My E-Liquid

[Jdurand]

Spitting juice like a 6th street.......... now that is just good comedy.

I haven't used an Atlantis for quite a while now, so I really can't help. Bad coils do seem a possible solution though. I have always thought the Aspire devices changed the flavor of my juices, but you say it's different than it was before, so my perception is most likely not your problem.

Can I acquire Holy Water on Amazon?

Why not, I get it there

 

[dcfluegel]

because Amazon...

Amazon.com: Holy Water From the Jordan River - 200 ml 6.8 fl oz. with gift box and certificate / Olive wood cover: Health & Personal Care

I think the frogballs are what is doing it

Probably should take those out of the juice then...

so, with the HexOhm v2.1, can you set the voltage on that? I may be looking at the wrong place, but I am seeing one version that seems to be Variable Voltage and one listed as an unregulated box mod? i r confused, as well

I have the regulated version, it has a potientiometer (spelling?) that I had thought adjusted wattage.

Happy I could be of service!

That's amazing.

The HexOhm (all variations of them) are variable voltage. From 3.7V to 6V. The V1 HexOhm used the OKL-T10 (same as the Ranger box, or Truck box), which has a max output of 60W. The V2/2.1 HexOhm uses the OKL-T20 chip, max output of 120W.

Well, now I am thoroughly confused.

Okay, so think about it this way. Your mod is capable of 6V or 110W max. You're adjusting the voltage, and the mod is calculating (a-la Ohm's Law) to output a given wattage.

If you have a 1 ohm coil and you're firing it at 6V (that is, you have the potentiometer turned ALL the way up), it'll be firing 36W. However, if you have a .5 ohm coil and you're firing at 6V, it'll be firing at 72W. Just because your mod is capable of 110W doesn't mean you can apply it to that .5 ohm coil, because you're adjusting the voltage, not the wattage.

Apply the same logic to the minimum voltage.. A 1 ohm coil at 3.7V (the lowest your potentiometer will go) is 13.8W, and a .5 ohm coil at 3.7V is 27.4W. Same as before, you're adjusting the voltage, not the wattage. You can't go lower than that 13.8W on a 1 ohm coil because the minimum voltage for the chip is 3.7V.

This is very likely the issue causing the burnt hits. NYiddle to the rescue again!

Gotcha! I may still ask some questions as I'm not the MOST tech savvy with the finer details (hence why I use a tank with pre-made coils instead of build my own/drip).

 

[dcfluegel]

hrm - voltage and wattage are 'linked', if you will, via the resistance of the coil... if you set voltage at a certain point (say 4.0 volts) then the mod should adjust wattage to deliver THAT voltage load based on the coil (so a .5 ohm coil would require 32 watts... a 1.0 ohm coil would require 16 watts... a .2 ohm coil would require 80 watts) - and if you adjust the voltage, the wattage should scale to match...

You're in the right place to ask. It can definitely be a bit confusing.

Some devices have the option of switching between wattage or voltage mode, which some prefer as it gives more ability to fine-tune. But essentially, if you're setting the wattage, the mod is calculating the voltage. If you're setting the voltage, the mod is calculating the wattage. Personally I prefer this over variable wattage.

and for what it is worth, you can actually buy pre-built coils (already wrapped) in various ohm ranges and all you have to do is install them on dripper and test - you would definitely want to pick up an ohm meter for testing (can be had for $10-$15 usually) - then wick it up (i tend to prefer cotton bacon for my drippers, but there may be a good borogrove option available... 'twas brillig, after all...)

love my tanks, but really enjoy dripping at the ancestral manse...

I think I'm going to have to save this topic for later today. I just got up not too long ago and my brain isn't fully functional just yet. Being self employed is great because I can sleep in when I feel like crap.

On a lighter note I repeated the replace, prime, warm up process with a 0.5 ohm coil head and it seems to be just fine! Maybe the box of 1.0 that I got are just ....ty.

I'm also thinking about adding another tank or two to my arsenal...a topic we could talk about for days

 

[dcfluegel]

mmm... tanks... shiny!

moar coffee, pls!

I have a younger brother who is into mech mods/dripping/hardcoreerrrrthang that I may ask to set me up with something like this. He's a bit of a genius when it comes to anything electrical. He's actually who I owe for getting me off the death sticks and onto the vape!

 

[dcfluegel]

if you do decide to go the dripper route, I would suggest getting a decent one - would be a shame, imho, to pair a sub-par atty with that lovely hexohm box... personally, I am a huge fan of the Twisted Messes atty by compvape - great build quality, lots of room for coils, deep juice well - just a great atty, overall - the 13 heavens (also by compvape) is exceptional as well (same deck as the twisted, but with slotted head screws on it instead of grub (allen wrench) screws) - both have great 4 post setups to make a dual coil build much easier to work with

Speaking of tanks...opinions? Thinking about the Arctic, maybe the UD Zephyrus. I must say I'm partial to vertical coils but other than that I just want solid build quality and flavor like WHOA. I like acrylic drip tips too, those have proven somewhat difficult to find in variety.

The only RDA I've really heard about is the Tugboat.

i am really loving my smok tfv4 tank and my freemax starre pro tanks - both I would recommend looking at - what kind of batteries are you running in your hexohm beastie?

I tend to run my smok at 75-95 watts, depending on whether I have the triple coil or the quad coil in (both verticals) and my freemax around 60-75 watts... both amazing flavor and great vapes...

in regards to drip tips, saw some really spiffy looking hand blown glass ones on ebay

Welcome to ECF lanye! And thanks for the chuckles.

I got my HexOhm 2.1 at a local B&M that has been great to me. I bought the batteries suggested by the vapestress (It's a word, I made it up.) They're Samsung 18650 2500mAh 3.7V.

Just because this seems like an appropriate thread, here's what I'm rockin' today, and I'm loving it.
