I feel left out with all the talk of RBAs. mods, etc LOL I have an MVP and Vamo yet find myself mostly using my egos or Vision Spinner. When ever I do use the Vamp or MVP, I tend to leave the setting at 3.8 or 4.0 as I don't see a lot of difference. I also bought an IGO-W which I haven't bothered to try yet as I know I will need to start rebuilding coils... :confused: Anyone else happily vape with a simple ego? And I haven't found anything to compare to my iClear 16s for flavor (Don't care for my protanks or evods) Feeling sacrilegious here

I'm still using 3 egos, two spinners and an MVP. I do like the MVP the best, but I love my spinners too.

I'm still experimenting with toppers, and know I need to learn learn coil rebuilding. I know I'm missing out on a lot by not rebuilding. I should really research those rebuildable ones that are combination drippers and tanks. That way, I could drip at home, and use it as a tank when I'm out and about.

Probly a good idea to wrap regular coils before micro, micros can b difficult at first. And you cant oxidize w a vv like an mvp.

I disagree with that..extremely disagree with that. Spacing out coils evenly is a pain, not to mention the amount of warping.. Wrapping might be a hairline more difficult, but the challenge in rebuilding is getting coils on contacts. I thought rebuilding was a waste of time and a PITA before using microcoils, and my first RBA was collecting dust for months..now my carto tanks are collecting dust.

And my brain is inputting igo infront of that 'w' with your statement "can't oxidize w a vv like an mvp." can't oxidize with a variable voltage like an MVP? If they glow, they're oxidized and emiting alumina and other oxides.. if you can't oxidize with a variable voltage mod..then you can't get the coil to heat properly for vaping in the first place..so you need to alter resistance for your battery's range..or stop trying to use dual coils on a variable battery.


To help the cause.. I finally tried frakenvape I got in a trade.. It is weird. I like it, but I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it to try it..of course, one of the liquids I traded I kinda wanted to keep to dilute nicotine content, but oh well.. at least if I order more CREAM, I can get my exact nicotine level without using shotty syringes to try and get it close.:) I'm also about to e-mail mad alchemist about some 100mL's..and I may say I'll get the rest of the line in 30's to help my cause.. I'm still using snow white's demise and fairy dust elixir in kayfuns.. Only other vendor I've had go this long in a tank since I started using RBA's is suicide bunny.

Interesting and sounds like the voice of reason. Since you are on here Suspect and I know you will give a good answer without condensation please tell me what the diff is in a regular coil and a micro coil (why would I want to torch it?)

Micro coil=compressed coil with an inner diameter larger than 18awg..17, 16, 15awg etc..
Nano coil=compressed coil with an inner diameter smaller or equal to 18awg..18, 19, 20..etc...

Compressed coils offer more throat hit(I don't really notice it) and increased flavor(I definitely notice that)

A typical coil you have to space it evenly to avoid hot spots..and it warps really easy when replacing or removing wick..and will definitely warp when trying to tighten contacts..IMNSHO

I don't use a torch. I just connect to my mod and heat up wire and compress if my wrap isn't fully compressed already. The main reason you want to heat up wire and silica are the lubricants and other byproducts leftover from manufacturing.

If you buy one bottle, they send you a second 30ml bottle FREE! So far at least. I have placed two orders. I think once they become very well known that will stop so...go!!

Last time I got a free bottle but I ordered the double pack this time. I wonder if they will send one since it's already a great deal....hmm. I'll see tomorrow.

Micro coils wires are compacted together and touching and a regular coil does not from what I've read. Regular is just wrapped around the wick but not touching

Do you like apple pie? Who doesn't right..... It is a very authentic apple pie flavor. On the inhale I'm getting a very true natural apple equally proportioned with pie crust w/a very mild spice (too mild IMO). On the exhale sweet apple and maybe a little vanilla & proportionate crust. A very well balanced vape. Yummy. I dripped it on the RDA 1.9 ohms 7-8w. very good would be an adv if you love that Apple pie taste but most are just too sweet or spicy 9405510200830182769008to you. I like it a lot it's a very authentic to what the manufacturer advertises it to be which is important to me. I now want to try twice in a blue moon or maybe rise of the pumpkins since I like spice. Definitely happy with this purchase. For such a mild flavor I will tell you this. I thought since it was a milder flavor that I would put another flavor on the mostly dry cotton figured they may mix on a drag or two lol I was wrong all I got was apple pie ala mode! That flavor wasn't going anywhere! So I went back to it since I'm too tired to rewick after an 11 hour shift and errand run came to the conclusion it's not light on flavor just light on spice. Vape On:vapor:

Guess you must b new at this... When you try to oxidize w/ a vv it's easy to overheat the circuitry, but dont take my word for it, roflmao, just watch any of pbusardo, riptripper, or grimm green's videos, they'll back me on every bit of info I passed along on here, because they are where I learned. But i guess you, chanelvaps, and lavender know more about coilbuilding than the aforementioned reviewers, ROFLMAO

Love how some people always know everything already, lol. Okay gals, back OT, Got my clever vapes order in today. Hadnt even went to track it yet bcuz they never emailed me. Ordered on the tenth., and it was in the mail from yesterday, talk about quick service, jeez. I ordered nostalgia on a rec from yall, went ahead and got dipstick and nirvana also. Dipstick is supposed to be like the wonka candy w/ powder and dipstick. Well I smelled it, and it smelled just like caramel corn... I think they filled that one w the crackerjack flavor yorkiegirl recommended instead of the right one. I wouldve been happy w gettin it a day later and get exactly what I ordered. It tastes good, but I'm still gonna email them about it. Hope their CS is good, I'll let yall know how it goes. Did you tell em to switch em up on me yorkie? lol

Congrats:) stick with it, it gets to where you can be around cig smoke and it wont even smell good to you anymore, much less make you crave one.
Hi, six weeks into vaping, and just now moving up to some of the better juices. I got my first order from Namberjuice yestrday (Tom's Vanilla Peppermint, Moot's Juice, and Mistress), and I need to ask about steeping. Each has a "born" date on the label, and would I count elapsed time as time spent steeping? Two say January and one says December...and I'm dying to try them! :p

I remember how gross the last one or two I lit up were (stubbed 'em both out really fast). That's the main reason I've never even considered going back. i was a fast switcher - got my itaste VV Wednesday, and that last gross cigarette was Monday night.

See, no offense Jonathan, but this is what I hate. Guys start to talk all this..'you need a torch and you have to flame the coil'..all this talk intimidates us girls.
Chad said it the other night. You need a drill bit (or something else similar in size) small crochet needle or I use a very large industrial size sewing needle. You do have to have some wick and you can buy Peaches and Cream white yarn at Walmart (boil and dry it)
You hold the appropriate amount of yarn against the needle (for structure) and wrap 5 times-pull the needle out and attach the ends of the wire to your screws in the dripper. If you want to change your wick you can pull out that yarn and insert some cotton (boiled and dried) up in the shape that would fee into the coil you made.

The one thing I think you have to buy online is the Kanthal wire and lots of these online vape store have it. I have 30 gauge.
You have to have an OHM reader to test the coil you make but if you have a device that reads OHMs you use that.

You made it sound very easy and non threatening Chanelvaps!

OK so I am trying my IGO-W on my vamo and its reading 1.1 ohms...good bad or ugly? And the Vamo is displaying "Lo" Ohms :-S

Your vamo won't fire anything below 1.3-1.4 probably. Since its a regulated mod it limits how low you can build a coil. Wrap another coil with an extra wrap or 2 and you should be fine. That's why I run mechanical mods. I like my coils between 0.8 and 1.0 ohms.

Good for you:) I kept cheatin left and right til I switched onto mods, but everyone's different. I smoked from age 13-31, 1-2 PAD habit, so it took more for me. If you start thinkin about a cig, switch flavors up, it can help.

Good lord, threatening? If martha freakin stewart isnt threatened by a torch, (pre-jail either), no one else should be, lol. It isnt just gonna come to life and burn you when arent lookin, and when you arent making coils, you can make creme brulee:)

I'm going out on a limb here to assume I know far more about electricity than those reviewers.. seeing that I'm in a substation certifying it for one of the largest arsenals in the world as I'm typing this. Since I'm taking time out of the random breaks I get while testing to type this, it's obvious that irked me..

Ever hear about temperature sensors? I'm sure those all knowing reviewers have... You start :censored: in here about once a week. And yeah, everyone starts vaping around their join date. Get over yourself. I've never used a touch, and I've never "overheated"a mod by pushing its button for 5-10 seconds a few times..

I can't believe they sent you the wrong juice but doesn't it taste just like cracker jacks yummy! I hope their CS is much better than Tasty Vapors. They blamed the lack of flavor I their juices on nic and pg/VG ratios. Why sell different ratios if the flavor sucks? I'm very disappointed.
