I'm going to be selling 2x AGA-T2, 1x AGA-T, and 2x IGO-L pretty soon. Gotta make up for all the stuff I'm buying. Got a Nemesis and a kayfun the other day. I ordered a Poldiac yesterday. I have two Nimbuses coming from a co-op, plus I'm gunning for a brass Nemesis in a couple of days. Out with the old, in with the new.

Dang it! Every time I order something, either a better price comes up immediately or I see a post like this.

Nimbus (clone) is kickin' big time with stock coil setup, I can't wait to see how much better it is after a rebuild and a second air intake hole. A 3rd AGAT+ also came today, pyrex/quartz tube included. IGO-W pre-order is on the way...

Again with the 18650 battery question... :facepalm: What are you guys using in your mechs?

Hey I wanna know more about this ekowool. Does it get used just as wick or does it used along with something else? X help me out here.

Ekowool is a high quality braided silica sleeving from Russia, very similar to Nextel silica (XS) and silica/ceramic (XC). Like its American-made counterpart, it was developed as thermal insulation for electric cable. It is hollow sleeving (except for the 1.5mm, which has a strand core) and is very heat tolerant. It is softer to the touch than common silica and doesn't shed fibers when handled. Great in RDAs. I would simply say it is super-high quality braided silica and leave it at that. I use it in my drippers, the Terminator and my Kayfun. It would be wasteful to use it to rebuild clearo attys. For rebuilding Kanger heads, I still use common twisted silica. It doesn't work great as a "diaper" for ss cable genesis wicks, as it tends to un-braid very easily. For diapers, I use XS sleeving. It is superior when it comes to wicking ability, though. The dimension specifications for Ekowool refer to its inner diameter. It is available in 1mm, 1.5mm(strand core), 2mm, and 3mm inner diameter sizes. I will be placing my stock of 1mm Ekowool up in the classies very soon, so keep an eye out. The stuff is super expensive on the vendor sites.

For my Vmod, Vapage has their own wrapper from Spark ind. "VP 18650 2200mAh IMR safe.
In the VAMO's I have Panasonic CGR18650CH and Samsung ICR18650. I use the Panasonic in the Vmod as well.

For my Odyssey, Totally Wicked has their own wrap from TrueFire 14500 Li-ion 900mAh; I also got some Efest IMR 14500 Li-mn 700MAh

You know I wasn't too impressed with the IgoL. Doesn't fit right on my provari or the zmax. It is easy to rebuild but I find its posts are kind of awkward in relation to the air hole. I.e. I tend to have trouble getting the air hole exactly where I want it. I've been more impressed with the viscous ants rda's. The cyclone and the hornet. They are pricier but worth it imho.

This thread can sometimes be intimidating! :unsure: I haven't heard of most of the stuff y'all are buying! I feel like such a vaping infant. Although my dripping attys and Vivis are making vapor and satisfying me. I still haven't ever recoiled my Phoenix. Maybe tomorrow.

Carry on. I do like reading all about this stuff although it's Greek to me.

:vapor:

Good to know I'm not the only one who reads all of the Greek, RJ. I'm not entirely sure why, but I read every single post in this thread, gaping and blinking a lot of the time. Despite feeling my ignorance pretty acutely, I still enjoy following it all

Schnarph, I just use AW's from RTD, too, so I'm no help on that one, either:p.

Askoún!

I'm right there with you RJ and Becky. I just read as much of this as I can to get familiar with it all because I am sure some day I will give it a try and as G.I. Joe taught me 30 years ago, Knowing is Half the battle! GO JOE!

Funny thing is as a child I always pulled for the bad guys (still do now LOL). The bad guys always look cooler and you don't have to worry about petty rules. Matter of fact part of my facebook name is Skelator LOL

Edit:
I stand corrected, I never pulled for the bad guys in the Thundercats, Cause the Thundercats are just awesome! Nuff said.
