@Haktuspit - You did see that those Kanger Top tank Minis are clones...right? The Kanger Subtank Nanos are, too.
Leaky anything is my nightmare, it's why I only vape two types of coils and dread the DIY coil life that is coming up. Glad you got it fixed.Fixed the leaking! So that is good![]()
I'm getting more flavor out of the KF 2019, I think the coil needed breaking in a bit. I really like the Zenith![]()
Thanks. Your work with these experiments helps us allYes, beer is primarily water. Water has a unique characteristic; it begins to expand at temperatures below 4°C. It also turns into a solid that expands even more below 0°C. This is why ice floats.
PG/VG/Nic does not do that. It continues to shrink with decreases in temperature and does not turn solid at home freezer temperatures (it just gets more viscous). In Freezer Experiment thread, I've got pic of samples as received at room temperature and then later the same samples at freezer temps, and you can see the level of liquid in the bottle has actually decreased.
I'm afraid it is. The question of storage at fridge temperatures (vs. freezer) never really showed up on my radar until recently. Maybe I'll split a 120 ml bottle from my stash up into some clear glass 30 ml bottles to see what I can find out.
Is there a definitive answer to the plastic v glass storage for nic? I've just got another order of 100mg/ml 100 percent PG nic in a plastic bottle. Should i decant into glass? I always have in the past but should I now?Yes, beer is primarily water. Water has a unique characteristic; it begins to expand at temperatures below 4°C.

I guess you could buy enough pre-built coils to last a vaping life but why not switch to rebuildables? Seems like the more practical way to go to me in the long term even if it is a hassle for some folks.Not sure what drop in coils you use but I have several Cascade and NRG sub ohm back up tanks that use Vaporesso GT coils. I’ve been buying them in “bulk” from FastTech. The more you buy the lower the cost of packages. So every time I need something from FT I add another few boxes of NRG coils.
However, I’ve been able to find good sales in the US but they charge shipping unless you’re buying other stuff. Plus it depends on which ohms/type of coil ie ceramic, mesh or ss. I tend to get the .5 ohm ceramics which are often less expensive than say the GT8s.
So you may want to see what kind of bulk pricing you can get for the stash.
It came in handy lately when I tore I tendon in my thumb and couldn’t make my own coils or even install premade ones.
I do run subohm on my REOs. It is possible to get 20 Amp button top batteries for them. Now I tend to run them at .7 Ohms but I find on the REO that hits as hard as .3 Ohm coils on my regulated mods so it is fine with me. Your Reo may not be as uncomfortable a fallback as you think.Hello everyone. It’s been a couple of years since I logged in to this forum but now that everything’s been going haywire I have been lurking and now am back formally.
Glad I began to hoard in 2016 all of the RTAs, Reos (and spare parts), nicotine, and other things that I am going to fall back on eventually as I’m sure the coils I have come to love for my FireLuke Mesh tanks will be unavailable after May 2020. I don’t see myself hoarding coils for this tank; once they become unavailable I doubt I will prolong the inevitable. It will be better if I bite the bullet and just relearn how to build and wick my RTAs.
I guess at the time my buying spree in 2016 seemed like an excuse to spend money on a habit...but now I’m glad I did. I enjoyed those RTAs when they were new but as technology improved I became spoiled and “soft” and stopped using them.
What I worry about are the mods. My Reos are my “Armageddon” mods; for a single battery I would never build subohm (personal preference, science aside) and I know I could “get by” on those if they were all I had. I have a Hexohm reserved for D-Day subohm use, but right now the prongs that secure the batteries are so stiff they destroy the plastic protective wrap on the batteries and I need someone to help me adjust that.
In the meantime I am going to keep using my Theron DNA mod, a trusty little thing, and I won’t touch any of my other mods I have reserved, including the new VooPoo Drag 2 I bought and will keep in the wrapper until I have gone through all of my other VW mods.
Sorry for the long comment; it has been a long time since I’ve been on board here and I just need a place where I can talk about this until I get everything sorted out.
Thank you, friends.
Most of mine is in glass, I put 2 in plastic in freezer but will transfer it later when I have more time.Is there a definitive answer to the plastic v glass storage for nic?

They had some great deals back then, love my Provari'sPlus, that Provari I bought at clearance for $35 back in 2016 is finally in my official rotation, feeling more and more priceless. Thing is like a nunchuck.
