MVP Owners Group-into the next generation

Rayon is not Polyester it's wood pulp..just sayin

I'm not discussing anymore, everyone reads and understands what they want out of things. Rayon is considered a synthetic fiber, not semi synthetic. A first year process student knows that. Or would you say ping pong balls are made of paper?

 

[Keirster]

Maybe I could vape on panty hose, that's Rayon right

Not sure what your point is. Cotton doesn't hold up well to such treatment either. The idea is to keep it wet so it doesn't burn. Even with all my dry hit problems I haven't come close to setting it on fire.



My really cheap calipers say 1/16" is smaller than 2mm. I would think you'd want a bigger ID for a looser draw.

The idea is still vape wick material. Silica is treated to withstand high temps, absorbs like crazy, and the danger of inhaling some is almost null. Whereas cotton and rayon have low fusion points, and soon you'll be vaping fumes from the wicking material. Not good at all.

So I've been vaping pretty well with my iClear 30 that came with my MVP. But I wanted to give bottom coils a try, never used one. So I took the plunge and picked up a Kanger Protank 3 (V2) from my local shop. I am very impressed. And I like the look of it with the adapter ring thingy that came with it, instead of using the beauty ring that came with the MVP. For the record: Halo Prime 15 at 8.5 watts.

I've been a fan of the Aspire glass lined -S clearos with BDC. I rebuild the coils with singles. I see now that the BVC will be sold to replace these BDCs like the Nautilus ones.

The only thing I don't like is the ego skirt. I always had contact problems with the Kangers and it's even worse on the MVP.
I like the flow control too.

I wish for independent tanks for Kanger heads, still not many out yet, but I loved the Davide for instance.

haha, that's the MAIN reason I like the MOW tank

finally a big glass tank that is of ego threading

air flow / drip tip / 1.8ml


not sure what you mean by "independent tanks for Kanger heads" ?


I will play with dual-coil, then switch to my dual coil body, but built as single coil

I only have bdc with exposed wicks, think this will have the enclosed (with holes or slot)

I assume she means other makers using kanger heads, like the Hypertanks.

i know this much, when you mix a bit of cellu with reg cotton it works great; wicks like a madman and also holds the joooooze!

Im trying this next wick job I do. Hopefully I get the ration of cotton to rayon right. The only downside to this is that you still need to replace the wick every 1-2 tanks I would imagine (since cotton doesnt last that long).

There is the threat of silicosis with silica since the lungs cant process smaller particles of silica (similar to asbestosis). Cotton can be broken down by the lungs; a case study of cotton industry workers showed that after exposure to cotton stopped, their lung function improved dramatically over time. Rayon im not so sure; the cellulose would prolly be broken down by the body just the same as cotton- its the chemicals used to make the Rayon that are the big question mark for me.

Ive been considering trying Readywick, but it sure is expensive. Silica doesnt really do it for me, but cotton and rayon work very well. I hear your concerns though- I might end up back on cotton solely due to concerns with rayon. I tend to think it isnt harmful, but cant shake that voice in my head

read many good reports of those “S” glassers

so you’re pulling the aspire (little) bdc’s apart and re coiling them ?
I have one (1 tank w/ 1 coil) it petered out , I cleaned it then into a box
never thought of recoil (those little bdc coils still kinda spendy $$)

- Aspire ET-S BDC - Glassomizer

got one of these and the bdc didn’t perform so well…

OMG what's the silica treated with ? There's a rather large thread that disargees with you on this subject: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ck-better-flow-flavor-saturation-nic-hit.html

I've got an old Aspire type tank and this is great news for the Silo lite IMO. Got a link there Paul old buddy?

 

[PaulBHC]

Took a while to find it. Got a service call in the midst of looking. Gotta go...

I spent many a day wrapped up in a space suit trying to avoid
the dangers of Silicosis from sandblasting (silica is evil)
then when this vaping journey started and I learned I was
wicking from “SILICA” WHAT ! ?
I couldn’t believe it and still can’t get my mind around it...

The disease has been know to affect sandblasters for decades, a 1936 study in Great Britain found that 5.4% of a population of sandblasters (24 of 441) died from silicosis or silicosis with tuberculosis in a 3.5-year period.

HEY NOW ! that’s pretty cool news ! , something that might interest me
“single bvc” for all the older Aspire tanks (compatable) nice…

1st I've heard of these (nice find)

 

[Midniteoyl]

How do you mix it? Like KGD in the middle and rayon on the outside like a roll your own cig?

Ping pong balls are made from celluloid, a flammable plastic made from camphor and nitrocellulose. This is not the same as Rayon, as the processes are different.

Another great find Paul. Thank you!

hello and welcome to the MVP owners thread...

seems the crowd is about 50%/50% concerning the i30
I am on the nay side, just didn’t care for it…
plastic, 510 threads, dual coils, and ALL those wicks
it didn’t hit well enuff for me…
have to admit I didn’t give it a prolonged test run, but I ran it
enuff that it got passed on to another vaper & I never gave it another thought
I had many other tanks that far out performed it at the time…

but it sounds if you're one who gets along with it, and that's a good thing

Well after some tinkering to the I30 last night i got it to hit much easier with less effort , no leaks either . I'm very surprised actually , i thought it was a 50/50 gamble.

I drilled out the tip to make it a larger bore , then i took the rubber top cap off and snipped the nipple off ( sounds scary but harmless actually) then i enlarged that hole . It's now a much easier draw and vapor production is unreal , i love it.

On another note , after really looking at the MT3s copies i bought from FT, i finally did notice the regular Pro Tank head's don't quite screw as far into them as do the head's with the slightly smaller lip.

Shockingly it seems they do not have to as the regular PT head's screw down tight and work without leaking , they just don't screw in as far , odd.

 

[a wandering soul]

My mvp is on it's way out. Battery is lasting less than a day... Sad... Got it in march and it had a, couple Weeks off until my gf started using it (i still charged it every 5 days or so, to keep the battery active.. Just topping it off.

Oh well...

Via a possessed phone thats autocorrect is just silly

 

[sando7]

that's a great illustration posted by Midniteoyl........ (for RDA's) - i just fluff out a small piece of cotton till it's almost see-thru, then take a small strip of Cellu and twist them together (lightly) and wick........ been trying a different method of wicking by just twisting one end of the material just enough to thread the coils and leaving the other (long) end loose and totally fluffed out, then tuck trying to keep as much fluff as possible.....been working pretty good.

the taste of Silica wick is horrible to me and i have tried to like it, but it's not for me!
