• Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers

    Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

Anyone else have the problem of your build area (mine happens to be my computer desk) having little clippings of kenthal that gets stuck in the carpet and when your sitting at your desk at night in your boxers with no shoes or socks and get one of thoughts wires in your foot man does that sting just pulled a peace of 24 gauge out of my foot its still bleeding

IMO 28 gauge is the worst when it comes to free piercings and free flowing blood.

Stiff enough to exert sufficient force, yet small enough to just slide right into your flesh

You think the FDA will pick up on those points as "hazards related to ecigs" LOL. Been there as well, try it with a twisted 32, lovely.

Get a neodymium magnet, and pass it from time to time over that general area ;)
I use one also for those pesky little bits that always fall from the desk, it works like a charm..

ETA: of course keep it away from computers, credit cards and similar magnetic-sensitive stuff.
Do the construction style magnets on wheels have enough power to pull the bits of kanthal up? I have one of those handy but use a swiffer currently.

If you think it sucks for us, try pulling kanthal out of the paw of a distressed Husky... [emoji15]

Welp. If your build is real hot and you're chain vaping, the atty itself is gonna get very warm, and heat will get conducted onto the mod. So it's "normal"

Although. That doesn't include hot buttons or warm battery. I would say if you think your mod is getting hot, stop vaping and take the battery out first to make sure that it is not heatin up.

ETA: I used to chain vape on my zna30, and it got pretty damn warm after a 15 min session. But that was limited to the area near the top cap (and RDA of course)

Thanks Kiwi-

This seemed similar to convection as it spread from the atty, but I was most likely a bit paranoid and thought it had spread to the fire switch (stingray mech) too. Just wondered if I had gotten a bad vtc4 as my others perform like monsters.

Not sure, those are usually not powerful enough.. You can find plenty of cheap neodymium magnets off ebay, or just salvage a couple of those out of an old, broken computer hard disk.
Poor husky, I can see the problem there..

arent the purple efest 26650s rated for 64amps or something like that? or do they burst like the mnkes.?
I know the ppl here are not the biggest fans of efest but I got to be honest I own a few of the purple efest 18650 35a batteries and ive never had an issue with them where as even my sony vtc4s will get a little warm on my copper nemmy with a .25 build if i chain vape.

OK, just a quick comment slightly off topic.

I've run vtc4's at .25 ohms (pushing it a bit, I know) but has anyone had a mod heat up with a .4 ohm build (concurrent with drags and length) or am I just being paranoid after my twitchy 26650 episode?
I run my drippers at .4ish consistently with no issues with REO and GP. There are many reasons a mod can heat up and typically is due to the weakest link in the mod. Usually, it will come from the switch (more accurately the spring) hence the reason builders use a hot spring and have been ramping up with silver plated to gold plated springs. A hot spring is intended to collapse at failure so there is no further liability. The switches have the most parts usually conducting the flow of energy and the more parts, more potential issue.

My first recommendation to anyone exp excessive heat on a legitimate high end quality device is to thoroughly clean the mod. From the threads on the tube to the 510 connections. Eliminating oxidation is paramount in some of the low ohms we build.
