Thanks Angel,
Krusty is full of questions today:)

I currently use 32 gauge Kanthal to rebuild my Kanger coils, do I need to use a heavier gauge wire on a RBA?

You can use the 32...I mostly use 30ga, but that's because I have a ton of it! A lot of people use 28ga...I think I'm going to get some 28 and see if I notice any difference...I hear it's great in a twisted coil, but I haven't tried one yet...that's my next step.

Don't get me wrong, I really like my igo, and it won't go unused, but as the reception showed me, and an upcoming family sleepover, I definitely need something that won't cause me to constantly grab the mod from whoever is using it to rejuice it lol. Dry hits on my igo build are not fun at all, I've almost yarfed a couple times. Don't need that party foul :lol:

the same reasons drippers are a pain are why i like them. i like dripping often.. it seems like by going through a fully primed wick to one almost spent of juice i get more range of flavor. i like changing flavors often. like everytime my wick starts to dry out. and i never thought i would like them. but then again i didnt think id like sub ohming, box mods, fruit flavored juices, taking pictures of mods, reading and studying them etc...


edit coil gauge comes into play as the ohms decrease. less wraps equal greater likelihood of hot legs. those suck.

I think I made a big boo-boo, I got a little bit of diy stuff, I was thinking since I do 50/50 get 24mg in pg-nic then regular vg to mix it to 50/50 12mg..and it's so watery my igo is just chugging it, I've gone through almost 15ml in just a few days, where usually it would last me almost a week :facepalm:

Happy Sunday minions! The giveaway thread is going fast, I'm taking the day off since I don't get all Sundays off most of the time, and had to skip the night the day before yesterday helping some relatives move to a new apartment so I was destroyed :p.

I always recommend to buy nicotine solutions in VG, unless you vape at 80/20-70/30 PG/VG. It's more versatile IMO.

If it's too watery there's a few things that come to mind. Did you take into account the PG in flavorings? Also, some flavorings are heavy on the alcohol base, those tend to make the juice a lot more thin at the same ratio than plain PG-carried flavorings.

Yeah, thanks for the info JC, I'll write that down for next time..if there's a next time. Not much I can really do to resolve it atm, unless there was a magical way to build the rda for thinner juice lol. Though I have managed to create what I would consider my adv [flavor wise anyways], so I guess something good came out of all this. I've learned my lesson, leave the mixing to the pro. :unsure:

change your wick build. ive had success playing around w/ wicking strategy for thinner or thicker juices.

Well I made another batch of my juice this morning, added a little more vg so it's probably sitting about 8mg and some EM, cause I read it might help thicken and doubled the flavor cause EM can also cause flavor muting helped a little, but still not normal consumption. I also attempted a new build just now, thought maybe going bigger would do it? I have 3mm hollow eko [mistake on my part] and have been pulling it in half folding those halves over and threading through the coil, but I just tried leaving them intact and used the screwdriver I usually build the coils on as a base, slipped the eko wool over and wound the coils on that. Not sure yet if it's still eating juice, but the menthol, which I only put 2 drops in a 15ml bottle for a background filler, seems a bit more intense.. kinda strange.. I thought the smaller coils was supposed to improve flavor.. seems a bit warmer too.. I'm noticing a trend here.. Not just with coils, but in a lot of things.. Doing the opposite of what they're supposed to. After about 10 hits theres still a bunch of juice in the well, so I guess I solved that issue, now I gotta figure out why the flavors [except for the menthol] are so muted on this new build.

aside from the last cup of coffee from the pot.. crunchies included.. what else should be in your rescue supplies kit? a voodoo doll of gpc? an extra battery or juice? some beef and veggie soup?

She's already got the doll, and I wish she would quit storing her pencils and pens inappropriately
