Not true, the vtc4 is old news. The vtc5 and efest 35 amp are the best batteries on the market atm.

First off you cant even buy VTC5 batteries right now so VTC4's are the best. The OP is probably wanting batteries within the week, not the year.


Your video has tiny clouds for a 0.50 build, your airflow or wicking needs adjustment, sorry.

My airflow holes are drilled out to 3.5mm, and the cotton fits perfectly into the coil. If you got any suggestions please let me know, otherwise post a video of your clouds and prove me wrong







This right here is sage advice. I have personally seen fake vtc4s which had inside them a single cell with a soldered wire running up to the positive, the rest being packed with flour.[/QUOTE]

Fair enough, you cant buy them from stores yet, though many people have them for sale on facebook, just hunt around. I have two on the way as we speak.

Can maybe get a video up later today, a pic will have to do for now.

This is my flavor setup, a 0.47 ohm dual coil. 1/8th air holes on either side with two further 1/16th airholes on either side to provide a vacuum effect.

Without seeing your build I cant comment on exactly what is out of sync. Your air holes are bigger than 1/8th so that should not be a problem. That leaves me with two possibilities, either the cotton is not quite right, either too tight or too thin, or maybe your coils arent quite even in diameter/spacing.

Now, I ask the question that has been puzzling me since I joined this forum: why do people want to make big clouds?

I didn't think I would want to make big clouds either. Then my buddy came over with his gear and it was all over with. Just as TSHF said above, cause it's awesome!

First and foremost - Fun. I come from an electrical background and have smoked since I was 13.

Second, I used to LOVE hookah pipes, but since I quite smoking that is not an option any more. I have vowed to never again go back go anything combustible. Cloud chasing is a way for me to still get those hookah type drags, and more.

Third, pushing the limits. Its just in my nature, I am an avid skier, I go skydiving, its the kind of thing someone like me would do.

Do I think/expect everyone to get it, or care? No. But thats me, I really don't care at all what other people think, if they think its silly, or dangerous, I just do what I want to do, its my life and I know the risks. The caveat to that is that I keep it out of the public eye. I blow my clouds at home, or sometimes at the vape store when its just the cloud chasers hanging around.

I would never even consider doing this somewhere that non cloud chasers are hanging around, IMO its a bad image for vaping as a whole.

Big clouds need big lungs, do lots and lots of cardio...

This is very true. I am not a big guy, but I have massive lungs, I also do a lot of cardio.
