Your nic level,IMHO, is too low for a former heavy smoker. Two months in myself, former HEAVY smoker. If I go below 18mg nic, I'll vape all day non-stop. I've said to others, use a nic level that you can vape yourself sick on. If I over vape 24 nic I get nauseated. I look at that as a good thing because it makes me put it down once my nic fix is satisfied. I can drip 6mg nic like a banshee, never get sick, but never get nic satisfied either.

To each their own, but if your looking to quit the butts, you've got to get the right nic level to keep the urges at bay without having to go overboard on the vape.

hey guys.. just did some testing..
Taifun GT(clone) 1 ohm coil/cotton
Titan 1.5 mod

started to get a weak vape.. so I switched to my Provari.. surprise surprise.. the vape got back to normal, read 3.8volts, battery as 65% ?? switch back to the Titan and weak vape it was..
the thing is, it started to leak at the bottom contact screw! I also noted flooding and leaking with my other Russian 91 if I persist with the weak cape, which is why I change the battery out when I start to get a weak vape, which is around the 60-90 mins mark..

well you may be right on for what I m facing.. but the thing is on my end choices for e-juice are pretty limited due to laws and restrictions on imports for vape products.. just checked, my best options are 12mg... damn!

Wow. Can you get pure nic? maybe add some in. If all else fails, do you border a country where you can get it. Not that I'm implying you do anything illegal.

Sounds like you need to lower the ohms on your coils for your mech mods. Drop down to about .8, and get used to taking short hits for the first half hour. FYI, Kayfuns can handle down to about .7 ohm without wicking issues.

Edit: Also, make sure your contacts in the mechs are nice and shiny. You'll need to clean them weekly, or at least bi-weekly. Lightly sand them if needed.

You might also want to look into getting the silver pin upgrade for your Titan 1.5 mod.

well the way I vape atty does gets hot.. but definitely not a short.(had a short b4.. scorching hot it gets!) it somehow buffers me.. as it is very similar for the mechs I used. over an hour of heavy vaping the it get weak.. that's why I m lookin into 26650s mechs or single/double 18650s VV/VW mods.. but if I m doing something wrong I really would like to correct them, simply bcos I think regular mech mod and simple and straight forward foolproof device and very nice too..:)
