I've got a t shirt on and no socks ..but I have a cardigan over the t shirt ...and I'll likely put some socks on before it gets much later
Been mild lately, but a bit colder (and wet) today.

It's definitely been getting colder outside over the last couple of days, but it's a balmy 23°C in my room, normally 25° (the immersion heater is in here) even though I have the thermostat set at 18° (I'm sure it's wrong as the heaters come on at about 20°)

I always thought the brown LG batteries were the best ones on the market but after Bob recommended the green Samsung 25R batteries I've now found they are way better than the LG's.

Are you sure they are the brown ones and not the red, the brown HG ones are supposed to be on par with the 25Rs, it's the red HE2s that are not quite as good (but still okay)

Most definitely brown.

Most definitely brown.

Can't read what it says on that, if it is LGDBHG21865 on the top line then they are good

Yep, that's what it says on mine.
I bought 2 of them from my e pack.

I like them but the green 25R batteries seem to last longer.

It's been bloody freezing here today.It hasn't been above 6 degrees all day.Going to get colder from the weekend as well

Tomorrow, we'll mostly get 3-4C with three hours up to 6C.
I don't like being cold! I'm lucky in that my studio is at the back in the middle, so inside walls on three sides, and a French window with a thermal blind on the other! Kitchen has a long outside wall, but stays nice and warm. Sitting room has three outside walls and goes from front to back ..can get chilly on a very cold night!

It's definitely been getting colder outside over the last couple of days, but it's a balmy 23°C in my room, normally 25° (the immersion heater is in here) even though I have the thermostat set at 18° (I'm sure it's wrong as the heaters come on at about 20°)

I haven't been out much in the past few days, but could feel the drop in temperature when a parcel was delivered this afternoon!
It's 22.8 in here at the moment ..sometimes gets to 24. Cosy!

weird, they should actually last a bit longer as they are 3000mAh rather than 2500mAh (25R)

@Brynglas George Yihi have answered me on FB re 200w

As long as make sure the 35A battery, with 0.2ohm resistance, Voltage 6.32V, Current 31.62A, it can reach 200W for sure, we already tested it.

They obviously don't know that there are no 35A batteries out there, they have also posted a video, look at the claim about resistance @ 0.50' : Video - SXmini Q Class

Do you find yourself using anywhere near 200w?

I was just opining I wish we had some top end mods that went for small and battery life at the cost of power. I'd love to see a boxer mod that was tiny had the 350j and limited power. Or particularly DNA 200 chip that allowed for a small for,mfs for mod.

I wonder what it will take to get small tube mods that do proper temp control. The ego ct/vt are a good start I suppose but how hard would a small screen be to do - like the DNA 30/40 tube or mini. Mods but with the algorithms of the current gen chips.

So I'm curious as I don't know anyone pushing that kind of u do - seems like probably yes. Must be some elaborate coils and such.

USA deeming vote is soon - I'd say how the USA goes freatly impacts the ROW vaping. Here's hoping it's not idiotic and a bunch of companies don't just choose to bow out

Bought 300 ml of the tart raspberry cucumber spearmint juice. Cumulus by cream. I wish I could send all of you a sample.

Still waiting for my yaeliq juice to arrive. Hopefully by Saturday. I'm really hoping his juice is as good as everyone says. I think I've finished buying from Eco vape. It's just too inconsistent. There's nothing they can say that will make me believe 6mg nicotine completely changes the flavor. I went through my Black Friday 6mg and now have a bunch of 0 and 3 which tastes nothing like it. It's a shame as it is my adv - I just can't spend £50 a month and not know what I'm getting.

Chefs still haven't replied to me. I don't know what else to do. Two emails. Two messages through the site. Over two months. Very unlike them. Usually top notch Maybe I'll use Skype to call if they have a number listed. They haven't posted that they're .... down for holiday or something I've missed have they?

Do like the look of it Bob.Thank goodness their taste in mods is better than their taste in music.

Is ere any decent coupon for fasttech right now?

I didn't realize they had triton mini coils in time for end of year coupon. That big order I placed at mfs didn't go through <== great!

 

[Brynglas]

Just tried the Nife30 out Bob.
Did a dual coil build in a Crius.26g.
9 wraps per coil,came out to .10Ω was aiming for a little higher, but perhaps didn't tighten the post hole screws as much as i could as i was worried about snapping the wires,with the holes being drilled straight thru'
Anyway the resistance is stable and it looks like the wicking is right.Vaping SB,MM and cookies 6mg.
First thought is,i don't think an Ni200 build with a 28g wire would survive those drilled out posts,but i will give it a try at some point.

The highest I vape at is about 84w on a semi-mech that I have that has a 60A limit and is capable of 250w, and that is with a 0.25ohm dual Kanthal coil in a Doge RDA. I say 84w because that is what it should put out at max battery power with the LiPo it has inside.

I do have one of my DNA200s set to 80w (nickel build) but doubt that it really gets that high, as tested once using the Device monitor on another mod, that's why I said earlier that we don't really need 200w, the 133w maximum on a 2 x 18650 DNA200 is quite ample, after all you do need some headroom, and also allow for pre-heat increase.

I don't do any elaborate builds, just normal coils using Kanthal, Ni, Ti, NiFe30 and premade Clapton wires, it just annoys me when firms try to claim something that is almost impossible, and which can cause serious problems to people who know nothing about battery safety (that includes me 2 years ago).

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.

Speaking of battery safety - I was just informed about the GP gpin design for their mechs. Quite clever that with the silver spring if a hard short happens the spring would collapse first stopping the current and preventing further problems. It's a clever design

One other thing. No matter what I do which coil, rba or whatever is used. The sub tank mini just wk t vape well. It always spits and generally is, well, bad. I noticed w couple pages back the new round coils were mentioned again. I thought those were cosmetic changes. I don't understand why my experience with this tank is so poor when so many people love it. High vg to 50/50. Rba build low and high. 1.2 or sub ohm. Nothing makes this tank work well.
Lodes anyone have any ideas? I have a few coils now - enough I'd like to use them. But it's just so bad I feel ill end up wasting the money / coils.

Probably the best so far are the nickel verticals but they're still not anything great.

0.0001ohms - I've asked them what planet they are on
Yes it does look rather nice and will probably work well up to 133w.

Ordered a Cleito (£15.56) and 5 pack of 0.2 & 0.4 coils (£9.90 each pack) yesterday from 3FVape and they have shipped today paid extra $3 for ePacket

That's pretty good pricing. I'm really curious about this tank. I want to see if they come with a small
Bore coil for Mouth to lung - I've only seen sub coils.

I Was thinking on the design of the cleito. I wonder if they're doing it because they can state it's a similar design to 2007 or before. The integrated chimney makes me
Wonder if it passes some design standard hat qualifies it similarly to a cartomizer - in view of the probable coming us regulations and fees

 

[Brynglas]

5 pack of 0.2 & 0.4 coils

Is it just Kanthal available at the moment?

According to Aspire they are Claptonized Kanthal - no mention of other metals yet.

Only 0.2 & 0.4 at the moment, doubt it passes the EU TPD
