Huh?

It is a passage from classical Latin literature. Printers sometimes use it tor try out new fonts, and stuff like that. It is filler on prepackaged websites, to demonstrate to purchasers what it would look like.

Gotta question for you batt experts. Thinkin about getting the Pico 75w. It's a single 18650 mod. Someone else said that a single batt won't do 75 watts, except for maybe a few seconds, but I thought 75w was about the top a single one would do. So what do y'all think is the top limit for a single 18650?

Deb, check out Steam Engine. Whether a single 18650 can do 75 watts isn't a "yes/no" question, as you know. It depends on which batt, and resistance. If you input mah, coil resistance, amps, etc, the steam engine calculator will tell you how for how long a given batt will push "N" watts. Kinda cool!

Mornin'!

Second LB on this. And keep in mind that, in general, the higher the mAh rating on the battery, the less likely it is that it will perform well at high discharge. Seems counter-intuitive, but if you check the CDR on batteries of different mAh ratings you'll see that the higher mAh ones typically have a lower CDR. For high power vaping, you want high CDR batteries.

thanks. I'll be usin the brownie batts. If I did it right, SE says 58.8 watts if I go down to .3 and only 35.28w at .5 ohms. That really stinks and just don't seem right.

Yummmmm wuz gonna say can't wait to hear how you like that, but seems like you made it before and let it age? I know you were talkin about it before, but thought you were talkin about just getting the aged bourbon.

I made samples first. Then dumped the together. That was good enough that I played with the ratio a bit & made 90 ml, & added a little heat. I'll give it 3 days before I try it.

 

[DavidOck]

The higher the resistance the higher voltage you need. Translates to higher battery drain. Watch the estimated puffs, too

kewl. Can't wait to hear how it does in 3 days, then more as it steeps.

Deb, you aren't going to turn it up to 75 watts. Use those LG AHG2's that you have. They are 30amp. I have 2 Pico's in The Box. They'll never be used at the highest they'll go. None of mine do.

She wanted werdz!

Maybe I should have been more specific. I needz Engrish wordz, pleez.

Right-o! Depends on how high you want to vape it. Being a confirmed tootler, as long as my battery will be safe at 5 amps I'm fine. Needs vary

Be aware that Mooch issued a warning for HG2s (counterfeits). Might want to have a look at that.
Personally the only cell I would want to use at insane amperage draws is the HG6.

But I'm with Dave, and only vape in the 2.5 amp range.
The way I look at is that if I can get a satisfying vape @ 2.5a, why would I want to vape at 25a. Just using stuff up faster is all.

who says I aint??? lol the reason I want it is to be able to play with TC and higher watts just to see if I like em better or not, without spending a lot. I may not like it higher, but wanna find out.

Jup........I checked em and they're authentic.

Yep, he issued the warning about 5 months ago & told us how to check for counterfeits. I'd bought mine from 2 reputable vendors well before the bad ones started showing up, but checked them anyway. Mine are all good, & no more counterfeits have been reported. I think the vendors that had sold them unknowingly really ripped their suppliers. Especially after the Sony debacle 2 years ago. The fakes are probably being rewrapped as Efest's now.

Nah, they'll have some variant of FYRE in the name.

I currently use cotton for my coils, but I hear so much about rayon. The cotton does not seem to last very long so I was thinking about trying the rayon. Any views on rayon and if it is good where can I get a small supply? Don't want 400 lbs...
