That must of been awesome and I am so jealous. I was about 3 years to young to catch them in concert. The closest I got was in 1980 (was 16) there were talks of an "in through the out door" tour, but it all ended soon after that. Did catch Robert thru the years, about 4 times and page a couple times, but never zep...I always said , if I could go back in time for one day to do anything, it would be to meet Jesus and see zep at MSG

But I would like to keep my vape temp down to around 350F....

That may be unrealistically low. I am not even sure you would produce any vapor at all at that temp, and if it did, it would be very low volume. 435F is a cool vape, but it does quite well, and is significantly lower than where all the "bad stuff" starts being a problem.

So the scientific mind got the better of me and I just tried to vape at 350F, and yes it does produce some vapor (more than I thought it would) but the flavor was quite muted. If you vape flavorless or don't care about muted flavor, then 350F might work for you. Really though you don't have to start worrying until you start getting to about 465-470 or higher. So if you do feel you need more than 350, don't hesitate to use what you need up to even 450F.

I have been struggleing with TC for some while now...temp 380-410F. The mod don't seem to produce enough power (watts). It falls down to below 3W and gives a very boring and subdued vape.
Never occurred to me to go beyond 410F (subconsciously it didn't seem save enough I guess) :p I put it up to 435F now, and its much better. The watts automaticly moved up to.
Thanks @ScottP things are eventually looking up...:thumb:

I consider myself a cool vaper.

The absolute coolest! :cool::D

I just got a notice from GearBest - Netherlands Post estimates 20 to 30 days for my package to arrive. The slow boat from China could be chugging along in a week or so o_O

They've improved somewhat, I see. :blink:;)

As a matter of interest...
I live in NZ and have been buying my vape stuff exclusively (and extensively) on line from all over. My average wait time from spesifically the US and China is exactly the same...its always 10 days give or take a few...

GearBest is a special kinda slow, at least to the US, even when you opt for the "fast" DHL option. They're also sometimes significantly less expensive (certain items), so it's worth it if you don't mine waiting.

Some things just "are".

Glad I could help. As far as the watts moving, that is what TC does. It is constantly adjusting the watts to maintain the set temp.

I have. My shipping time was eternity... LOL, it was my own fault, my address was my OLD address from 3 years ago, and it's in their TOS that if you mess up, they won't help you. So, I choose not to order from them, not because they are a bad vendor, but I mess things up all the time. I have seen a tempting price or two, but not enough to break my vow, LOL.

Yeah if you tell them to ship it to the wrong address it is definitely not their fault. I highly doubt many (if any) companies would replace an already shipped item if you give them the wrong shipping address. I mean that would be way too easy to exploit. Place an order, tell them to ship to your friends house, call them after it ships, and tell them you gave the wrong address. You get 2 for the price of 1. I just don't see any company allowing that.

Actually it happened with 2 orders and the other order was happy to reship, once thay had received the product back. I know the old owners and they did return both items.

Like I SAID, I don't use them because *I* can be error prone, I'm not faulting them but I did find that the other company was more flexible about it.

I've heard conflicting things as well. I now tend to clean them well using a wire brush rather than dry burning. I'm not sure exactly what the rationale was, whether it was putting out undesirable biproducts or they just last longer, but either way, I find cleaning my coils works as well as dry burning them, so I err on the side of caution.
