I have a question. I ordered my first mech, it is the KTS storm. I'm sure it's not a great mech, but for my first one, I couldn't pass up the $25 price I got it for.

On to my question. Can you use delivery units like a Protank or Iclear 30 on these? I know it won't be as good as a rebuildable, but I haven't started rebuilding yet.

The KTS is supposed to be decent.

And you can use regular tanks on them, but try using the lowest resistance heads on them for a better vape.

What would you say is the highest resistance I should use? What would give me a similar vape to a KGO 1100mAh with an iClear 16? If I can get at least that much of a vape, I'd be happy. And anything more would be gravy.

Azmo, you might also consider getting a Kick or a Crown to boost the power of your mech. Since you aren't rebuilding, you probably aren't going to be doing sub-ohm, high amperage vaping; so regulated power would improve your experience. And if not, you could probably sell whichever on the classifieds pretty easily if you change your mind.

The difference between the two is that the Kick is adjusted with a potentiometer -- a little dial you stick a small screwdriver into to twist; whereas the Crown is adjusted by firing your mod in short / long sequences. The crown has more features (allowing you to select either variable voltage or variable wattage) and lets you change the setting while leaving your KTS fully assembled; but it's also more gadgety.

If gadgets confound you, then the Kick would be better for you. Otherwise, consider the Crown.

With either one, you can use any resistance atty from 1 to 3 ohms (in the 2.4 - 2.5 ohm neighborhood is probably best) and get the same experience as a low-resistance atty / carto on a fully charged unboosted battery, but the warmth and throat hit will remain consistent even as the battery drains.

What would you say is the highest resistance I should use? What would give me a similar vape to a KGO 1100mAh with an iClear 16? If I can get at least that much of a vape, I'd be happy. And anything more would be gravy.

If you intend to vape without a Kick or Crown, then stick to 1.5 - 1.8 ohm atties.

Heres a GREAT SETUP for your KTS Storm, Azmo:

Get some XC- 116 Ceramic Wick (BIG TEX VAPOR)
Buy an inexpensive IGO-L rda (most places $12)
Get a spool of Kanthal 30 gauge kanthal wire 100 ft delivered? (I paid $5.96, TEMCO)

Double up 4 inches of XC into a loop and put 3 snug wraps of 30 gauge around it... fasten the short wire end tightly to the taller post, screw it down.....fasten the longer end to the shorter post just under the screw, screw that down.

Drop about 10-12 drops on that, fasten it to your KTS......that 1.1 ohm ceramic coiled wick will blow out a CLOUD with a slight inhale.

(Bore out the airhole on IGO-L with a 1/16th inch drill bit first, punches thru in seconds...align air hole with the coil u made)

Hello...please I have a few questions. I am trying to upgrade from ego's twist and usually use lr atty like a evod 1.5 ohm, but I feel I am limited by the the amps put out. I want to try out a portable sleek mech mod, but do I really need one or do I just use my Vamo....I mean I just don't see how you would exceed 5 Amps on the Vamo, unless you do RBA which I don't. My q? is there a sleek slim mech mod out there and what I could accomplish on it that I could not now with my set up?

I use:
Ego Twist, Vamo, Kanger evod 1.8, pro tank 2.0
Any suggestions would be gr8tly appreciated

You can vape resistances lower then 1.2 ohms on a mech....my Vamo can't do that.

You can drop a mech from ur roof onto ur blacktop driveway and it'll fire right up.....your Vamo won't.

You can hold the fire button down as long as you need to on a mech, no shutoff.

I can fit my CCTS with an IGO-L and a SS Ming Drip Tip in my hand and all of it almost disappears....Its small, hits hard and is a powerful stealth vape without limits. Only your coil and wick is the limit.

And the chances r -- there'd be a crack on the driveway, but the Mech will remain scratchless, LOL!

I see a lot of people on the net referring to "co-op"....what is this? And also, on some people's banners I see "tc given" and tc taken", what does that mean? Noob questions I know, but nevertheless I have no clue what they mean lol

A Co-op is a cooperative purchase, a single order made for multiple people. Some vendors have a minimum order quantity (you might see the acronym MOQ occasionally) or the cost of shipping from Asia makes bulk purchases more affordable for all participants.

Not sure about TC. Tequila cocktails?

There is a co-op forum. That is where you would find the co-ops. Like said before, it's a single order on behalf of multiple people. You order a larger number of items to get much lower prices.

Can't wait until my Precise ELA arrives from Super T.

We regret to inform you that your posting privileges have been revoked as the jealousy you incur with your (braggy) posts are tantamount to CAV'ing (Crimes Against Vapumanity). While this is grounds for immediate expulsion, there is a one time no ? asked offer to keep your privileges as long as you send your Super T ELA to the address you receive once you message me. I will be sending the MOD to starving Vapers in Siberia who need more warm vapour than you or I do.

Perhaps this will serve as a lesson to you in the future not to egg on your fellow - & not as fortunate - vapers with less zeros in their bank accounts yet most prolly more vapeforce than you & your sissy friends put together. OH nuts; just give me your ELA or I'll send Papa Legba after you & he'll redefine "chicken" for you.

Pwawk Pwawk-ELA PAwwk!!!


PS: Yeah, that's right smart-ELA Pants, I'm not ADMIN...I am VER-min! And profoundly disturbed, tho purely as a result of the heinous crime(s) (must be >1; evil like U never strikes but once, you monster!) you have committed!:blink: I'll be watching you with my one good eye that tore itself away from that VapNOgraphic filth you posted.

Well I told myself I'd keep this short; No Need to tank me. Not Glistening anyway.

PS: Beware how U Vape; I'll beware myself!
