E-Cigarette Forum Discussion Thread

Two 3Ω coils in parallel yields an equivalent resistance of 1.5Ω (that's what the battery sees). However, the total current (and power) is split between the two coils.

Looking at it another way, a single, 1.5Ω coil at 5V = 16W. For two 3Ω coils at 5V, the battery still provides 16W total, but each coil only receives 8W.

One effect of a dual coil carto is that the total surface area of coil to wick or filler is increased. This leads me to wonder why no one has done one using a lower resistance wire in order to increase the coil length while keeping the overall resistance in the range of "normal" cartos.

I don't use cartos much, but when I do, I use a drip tip. I pull the drip tip off and top off when needed.

The most aestetically pleasing e-cig I've ever used was a 510 3-piece with a whistle tip. It looked and felt like a mini cigar. The Sapphire comes pretty close to that.

She's trying, but I'm hard to buy for. I'm in the very fortunate position of having everything a man could reasonably wish for. (We're not rich or anything, I just have fairly modest aspirations).

She bid on ebay for a 17th century document signed by Charles II of England, and Samuel Pepys the diarist (I collect Samuel Pepys memorabilia) but got beaten out by a couple of hundred bucks.

I'm toying with getting an iPad but doubt I'd use it enough to justify it. Ceramic chef's knives are another thought, but I've already got Wusthof's that really should last me till I die, so who needs 'em? I'd just like to have a play with them to see if I liked them.

TV's, TiVos, home theatre gear are all taken care of, no upgrades required. There's just nothing I really want or need.

It's a damned lucky man who can say that!

I'm in your boat.

I do not crave the latest and greatest.
I stick with what works for me until it no longer works.
And when it no longer works I just buy whatever does as soon as possible.


This leaves my wife in a pickle during all gift-giving periods, because I am almost impossible to buy for.

That is not to say that after 21 years together buying for her is a piece of cake.
But I have so much more to choose from, because, well, she's a chick.

 

[LibertariaNate]

I try to make it easy on others and tell 'em not to get me anything. I'm like you... If I want something and I can afford it, I buy it... I can't be bothered to wait for my birthday or some other special occasion.

My wife is pretty easy, she likes antique jewellery. It has a price range from a few dollars to infinity and is suitable for pretty much any occasion. I can't go wrong with it!

Whoa! Just looking at the stock market... Wall St got hammered overnight, our market opens in an hour. I feel like getting 100% out of it at the open. Anybody else think it's going to tank big-time?

I'm out. I surely don't see any gains in the next hour. I think you've got a pretty good handle on it.

I don't think it'll be pretty. I've got some very good paper profits sitting there, I think I'll take them.

Edit: after chatting with my wife we decided to hold. It might have been the correct decision, the markets been open about 20 mins and we're sitting slightly better than if we'd sold everything at the open. (Not that we have all that much invested.) The market is down a little over 4%.

Got to keep an eye on Joshua C. He might faint this show. We could enter and win to see the finale show!

You know how much fun we can have with the name Keeter?

Good idea!

I just wanted to give a heads up on a neat little feeder system that went on sale today. It's called the Drip on Demand and it can be seen here:

Drip On Demand

One of our regular posters in this thread graciously sent me one a while back to test. This little device works really well. It's sturdy, inexpensive, and hassle free.

Just prime your atomizer with a few drops and insert the DoD into it. I always give it a squeeze to get it "flowing." Then just vape and pretty much forget it. You may occasionally have to give it another squeeze but it pretty much just feeds by itself.

Pretty awesome. With the rules about suppliers and such I don't think I should mention which member came up with this neat idea. But I think he'll be adding it to his signature when he gets approval.

Anyway just wanted to pass this along. For anyone who likes to direct drip but doesn't like all the hassle it would be a neat mod to get. It sure works good for me.

Looks interesting, phonedude.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to check 'em out.

I've ordered. Hope it's good!
