1/4 teaspoon of salt makes 100mls of .9% solution

Does this sound right? Just wondering. I've been meaning to do some experimenting. I saw this in a thread somewhere and wrote it down. Then forgot what they said to do with it.

Nope .. can't use table or Sea salt
There's a dissolving problem, plus processing stuff to crystalize it, plus it will clog, and eat your equipment.
Just look in the baby department next time you in the drug store.
Sorry, no short-cuts.
I'm not saying people haven't done it .. that's how we learned to just get the right stuff to start with

Well, I got an expert answer on the mechanical mod with the battery backwards. My dad, retired electrician, said that yes, it would discharge the battery to a ground like a table or something, but that the current flow would not be high enough to harm the battery unless it is grounded to a very low resistance conductor. Verdict? I'm not worried, ill just avoid setting the thing on anything metal, no problem as there are no metal surfaces in my house.

Here's what I saw a long time ago about using batts 'reversed' in a mech mod.

this is an old mspaint pic (lol) I did a while back. As you can see, when the battery is reversed, its shell which is negative can short to the mod tube which is positive. This is only if the insulating wrap is damaged enough to make a connection.

Thanks! Was thinking of getting an even cheaper one but decided for the small difference in price I would just order this one and it will be mainly just a back up device so with light use it should last quite some time. Oh, and it didn't say out of stock so hoping it ships quickly! Thanks for the link!

I also had this confused with the iTaste VTR which is intriguing to me as well. Anyone have experience with this mod, it DOES use the 18650 batteries which I like but don't remember too much feedback on this particular mod?

 

[garyoa1]

No pass thru so you can't just plug it into something and keep using it or plug something into it to charge it.
Heavy. I mean REEEAALLY heavy. Nearly a full pound. (13oz).

Looks and works great but twice the price of the MVP.

Innokin VTR with Innokin iClear30S clearo: nothing suits me better and that's all I've used since October (over 5 months now).

Many find the VTR too heavy. It's the heaviest mod made and makes other heavy mods feel like toothpicks. Something like 14 ounces with battery and clearo. Here's a forum link with no more than a zillion posts about the VTR: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...pv-discussion/480134-itaste-vtr-new-post.html

Ecig stores on every corner and nothing but egos and a few clones. Lots of crap.

Yeah... Too bad you weren't around Seminole County. I've found ONE store in the area that has some nice mods in it. Typical B&M markup... But NOT overpriced. My Hammer I got for $35 at VCC was about $60 at the store, which is reasonable. Most venders at VCC were selling at $50. Only one at the low-low price. They had 50 the first morning and sold out by noon

LOL! Thanks Mike. When this was being discussed last night, damaged shrink wrap on the battery was the only real hazard I could think of. It also occurred to me that the damaged shrink wrap would also cause the mech to energize the coil without pushing the button when the battery is installed correctly.

Is that what I read was recommended to do to the Sigelei 19? I never quite understood it. And still don't BTW. heehee

I was reading in one of the threads that you can use pickling salt because it is pure and has no additives or anti caking agents. Hmmmmm. It would probably just be best to get the already made. They said there were some saline solutions with the contact stuff at Walmart. Don't know for sure. When you say the baby department, exactly what are you using? Thank you for answering all my silly questions.

When you say the baby department, exactly what are you using?

What I picked up was from Rite Aid so it is their own name brand.
It called "First Aid Saline Wound Wash.
It's sterile 0.9% sodium, chloride solution, and those are the only ingredients in it besides purified water.
No alcohol, No preservatives, No fragranceThere's also one called "Simply Saline"
Sometimes in the baby dept, or in the first aid dept
A 7.1 fl oz spray can will last you forever
Just make sure it only has what I mentioned above.
I was confused to, so I asked to have it pointed out.
Different stores have different names, and locations to find it in, so play like a confused little ol'lady and ask ..it worked for me

ok guys I have to say it MBV Bananas Foster is SINFUL it is so good!

Yes - that info on reversing the batt and it's potential problem w/ damaged insulation around the batt came from the Sigelei 19 hints and tips thread.

I tried it 'back then' with mine and it didn't make any difference. I run mine normally with pos end of batt toward the top.

MikeE3 - how does the R91 wick with the subohm build? I havent dropped a low res coil in mine yet since i use it on a regulated mod mainly. Waiting to get another one for my mech.

These 26650's are a paradox. Longer battery life when you are out and about but not sure I want to tote something that big around. I have been gravitating towards my 18350/kick mechs and bringing spare batteries so It fits in my pocket better. If they get any bigger we are going to need a shoulder holster for them.

MikeE3 - how does the R91 wick with the subohm build? I havent dropped a low res coil in mine yet since i use it on a regulated mod mainly. Waiting to get another one for my mech.

It's wicking fine with a 1-Ω coil. I can't accurately say for a sub-Ω coil. I just uncovered a 'flaw' with my R91 version 2 w/ the spring loaded 510 center pin. And that's the atty I had a dual and now a single .6Ω coil. BUT!!!!

The spring connection in the 510 pin is wonky - depending on how far or not it is pressed in the Ω reading is different. Here's a post I made in another forum about it. Since I posted this yesterday, 7 more peeps have come forward and said they have the same problem w/ the Version 2 R91. Not good.

Ok - After putzing w/ one of my new version 2 R91's for an hour+ last night and another hour+ today - I'm calling it 'flakey' due to the new spring loaded 510 pin.

Using a DVM I get .6 Ωs between the +/- screws for my coil. I get .6 Ωs from the + screw to the top of the deck, I get .6 Ωs from the + screw to the 510 threads.

But .....

I get 1.7 to 2.7Ωs from the spring loaded post to the 510 threads (reading just keeps floating around on the DVM). Push the post in to about where it would be when threaded to a PV it then reads about 1.5-1.7Ωs "if" I put some side pressure on the post - if not the reading floats around like when the pin is full extended.

If I bottom out the floating pin - the reading seems to be stable at .8-.9Ωs

If I try to test it w/ one of those little black box Ωs checkers - it reads between 4 and 5 ohms.

My best guess is that my .6Ω coil may be firing at around 1.5Ωs based on checking it w/ a meter w/ the pin pushed in about what it would be when screwed to my PV.

My other Ver 2 R91 does not have this quirky behavior - whatever points I use to read the ohms - I'm getting 1Ω as I'd expect.​

So - since I really don't know what overall ohms my sub-Ω setup is firing at - I can't accurately tell you how it is working.

Mike, you may have already posted, but where did this 2nd R91v2 come from?

Bought from a co-op on another forum. But I'll tell ya, I think the one on this forum is getting it from the same supplier.

edit: there's now a thread here on ECF about the wonky R91 V2 spring loaded center post.

Now you Know why all 3 of my Genesis style attys are in the vapocalypse box.

Now my 2 are also in the vapocalypse box -- at the back, inside a bag, which is inside another box, which is underneath another box.

When I have some more time to kill, it won't be messing with the gennies... I'll waste it instead trying to get a good vape off this KF clone I still haven't figured out.

On the ProTank, I don't know if when you say "grommets" you mean the little insulator that the pin slips back into.
If that's what your referring to, they have them here.
They fit perfectly .

Thanks for the link Slots... Bookmarked!
