More ammunition. It was probably one of those tube mods.
I can't think of any tube mod made by Kanger except for the small sticks, but I'll keep an eye on the story to see if more details come out.

A couple hours ago I finally replaced the titanium coil I'd used successfully for about 7 weeks.

I replaced it with a SS 304 coil, 3 mm diameter, 4 wraps, 26 gauge, 0.25 ohms. It tasted harsh so I changed the setting on my mod from "auto" to "joules" and brought the joules down to 11.0 at 200 degrees F, the lowest possible temperature setting. It's been working and tasting great so far at those settings. Big thick rayon wick that almost fills up the entire Kanger Subtank RBA head.

Yeah wire wizard says to set it at 150F in Ni200 mode;

But so good to sleep too.
Especially the wicking material one. It was fascinating but even he recommended you ff through parts of it. :lol:
this is the front porch......right? :blink:
Yiddle, as one who has had to sit in the corner a lot for going OT, I don’t think trying to nail down a health problem is OT. It’s not a bad thing at all to keep us in line, but unless I missed something, I think even Iffy would think everything’s okay here. :wub:
Heard on the evening news another report of someone injured by an exploding e-cig battery, supposedly a KangerTech mod.
Colorado man, Cordero Caples, seriously injured by e-cigarette explosion
There’s a thread about the incident here Another mod accident but this one has me baffled The gentleman in question is in a bad way but there is a lot of skepticism about what really happened. I haven’t kept up with the thread but this excerpt from the article ought to tell you something about the lawyer (and there are a number of lawyers in my family that I respect):

"It's unconscionable that these products are out there, and they are randomly exploding all across the country," said Garza's attorney, Greg Bentley.

Bentley and his firm also represent former LA Galaxy soccer player Danny Califf, who was hurt in February when an e-cigarette exploded next to his face, and Greg Phillips of Bakersfield, who suffered leg burns when an e-cigarette battery exploded in his pocket in September.

"This is an unregulated industry, that is causing tremendous harm across the country," Bentley added.


It follows up with:

In October, federal transportation officials imposed a new rule banning e-cigarettes from checked baggage on airlines to protect against the risk of in-flight fires.

Hello? It was never okay to put them in checked luggage. Amazing how lawyers can generate press but those trying to save their own lives, like smokers, can't get diddly squat fair press. Anybody see a trend here?
Millions of these ecigs have been sold and 9 injuries. How many from cigarettes?
House fires? Forest fires? Just for starters, but who in government is doing much about that? Oh wait, cancer, but that's big business.

Not a contest between helping someone with a problem with thirst that might be due to vaping or some other medical condition. Get real, both of you. We're here to help people, not threaten them. If it needs to be moved to the Back Porch, so be it. The last incident was warranted, this one is not.

    Agreed. The FP has been here a long time, we may stray at times, but manage to rein ourselves in after a bit. This is not OT.

    jup would love to see some posts about how much breathing and lung xrays have improved with vaping since folks quit smoking etc. Documented medical tests, and it would be a lot more than 9 stories!!

    thought I had mentioned vg can be drying in my original response to the person who said they were thirsty, but looking back I can see I didn't. But thanks for those who backed me up. Yes this is vaping related subjects, but we are still a community. I do realize we're likely under a bit more scrutiny due to recent events, but yes most anything happening in our bodies that is apart from the way we usually are, could possibly be vape related. Many times one person can mention something, then another, and three others who didn't say have the same thing happening, can ultimately lead to realizing that they all used the same product or did the same thing etc. I'm not saying that two people being more thirsty than usual is a vape related thing, but I don't want us to get so policed that folks are so scared to say anything that doesn't mention the word vape, and the above scenario can't take place. And they do say vaping can affect a person's blood sugar.
