Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[2legsshrt]

Oh and Mike I would not recommend the Lemo at all. I have had nothing but problems with it leaking out the fill hole. Tied the gummy thing no go tried the screw same problem and it is harder then hell to get in. I'm leaning more towards the Kanger. I can imagine that the KFL+ wouldn't work well. It seems you need good air flow to make these work well. My Lemo is by far the best build but the tank has some major issues in my opinion.

I put the silicon plug in once it didn't leak but I didn't care for it. I have not had any problem with the screw , it does have to be straight to screw in.
Its tapered and i can't see it leaking without something being wrong.
If you fill it and some liquid doesn't go in the tank and you don't notice it then that will come out through the air holes.

This thread is dominated by east coasters, west coasters, and south coasters. Amoret and I are anomalies. And I'll have you know that Wisconsin has an east coast and a west coast. It is just that the Mississippi and Lake Michigan are fresh water. And with Dinger being a new member, we may eventually out-number the coasters.

Midwest, Midwest, Midwest!!!!

East coast: suits.
West coast: tattoos.
Midwest: corn.

Aye, Papa - Corn 'n' Cows

Good idea! I'll try that!

Know what ya mean about the nic level. With tanks, I usually vape 4.5mg (I mix 1/2 3mg with 1/2 6mg), and that's a lot for me on an RBA. Dripping, it's waaaay too much! I'm bouncin' off walls. Might have to mix 3 with zero. Wonder why that is?

LittleBird, my understanding is that you're "concentrating" the nic from an RBA/Dripper, compared to a normal tank. Hence, I see a LOT of drippers who normally run 12-18mg in tanks all the way down to 3-ish on a dripper. I haven't tried hitting my RDA with any nic (I DIY at 0mg and put just a little in a tank at a time - I think I end up between 5-10mg, depending on how heavily I squeeze my nic bottle ) I haven't made any juice with the nic already added, and I really don't want to drop 48mg on my dripper

I believe that it's a case of more vapor with each hit, and therefore more nicotine (and more of whatever else is in your juice as well.) I don't think that "concentrating the nic" is accurate. Just the humble opinion of a life-long know-it-all, excuse me; I mean life-long mid-Atlantic coast resident.

Yeah, what he said More concentration of vapor in the air means more nic per volume of air. More micro droplets land on your lung tissue and mucous membranes, and are absorbed into the blood. Thin vape, less nic in blood, dense vape, more nic in blood. Doesn't really matter whether it's a dripper or a tank, except that most drippers have better air flow and are run at higher wattages than most tanks, but even that is changing now with the likes of the Billow, Silverplay, and Goblin.

I think I found out the problem. If you fill it and it is above the air channels they are so big the juice leaks into the chamber then when you turn it back over it leaks out the large center air hole. I was filling it too much I think. I still think the Kanger will be better if I can get a good build in it with NI200.

Wow! I just reported this post. It's really scary! A moderator needs to see this right away, but I don't know how to reach one.

I am no expert. I guess I was likening it to the concept that there's no chimney to travel so you're getting it delivered without any dissipation. Poor word choices on my part. I would like to have a better to understanding myself . Thx!

Sent from.... ooh look! Something shiny!!!

Watched this person making some twisted wire using a pen , so I did some.
Might have a drill somewhere but too hot and can't be bothered looking for it.

Haven't tried it out on a build but it looks ok.

View attachment 406844

Length of 29g fold it in half hold one end with pliers , Got pen with a clip and put the loop over the clip. Then pull tight and twist pen.
Didn't seem to take too long , was wondering when to stop but after a while the wire broke.
Good result I think.

I saw a post about doing this on another thread just yesterday. You can roll the pen with your palm against your leg to do it faster.

 

[2legsshrt]

I think with the Kanger I am going to try something different. I am going to attempts it on a screw again but this time I am going to wrap it with the legs coming off the top of the coil so that they are still in the right position to attach to the screws the correct direction. I know if I can do this carefully it will knock this Lemo out of the park. The 25mm fits on the Vapor shark very well nothing hanging over when I have the shark skin on. The USB port sucks, takes 2 hours or better to charge easier to change the battery.

Don't hold it against me for saying so, please, but I think you're over-reacting. The person who started the thread is using a Provari, which is not going to allow an unsafe condition. Everybody has to start somewhere, and some do more research than others before starting. At least the poster is asking questions, and I don't think he or she should be criticized for that.

 

[2legsshrt]

I think I am getting the hang of this Vapor Shark. I set the temp to 410 then raise the wattage to where I just hit the TC and back it off a little. The Lemo I must say is rock solid on this with NI200. .2ohms 410 and not hitting the TC yet at 20 watts.

Nah, I'm East coast and the only time I put on a suit is when somebody either dies or gets married. Other than that it's jeans and t-shirts since I retired outta the Navy.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

It's been fixed. He didn't know you had to wet the wick before firing the coil. I won't "facepalm" that because there's a lot to learn when you're starting out.

Will you just make up your mind. A couple-few posts back you were bashing the Lemo - now it's the best thing since sliced bread.

 

[LittleBird]

Sheesh! Just read 200+ pages of a thread on a particular RBA, looking for an answer to a question I have. Couldn't find it, so I posted a question. The response? "Read back a few pages, Birdy." Sorry for the rant, but if that's how my initial questions on vaping were answered, I'd still be smoking! (Hurt feelings . Gotta get over myself!)

This has got to be a joke. No one would try to build an RDA and fire it with no juice in it. And like what was said unless he had a P3 he couldn't even fire that resistance.. The P3 is rated for .5 but I've heard .7 is more like it.

 

[2legsshrt]

Well I am trying a temp sensing head for a Nautilus. The resistance is rated at .3ohm but comes out to .34 on my VS they don't really give you a heat setting but I would think that would depend on your juice. I have it set for 410 and have to go clear down to 9w to not hit TC all the time. It's a good vape though. Won't use much battery this way.

 

[horton]

Who are we to judge a newbie mistake???? I'll bet if we are all honest we can think of a bone headed blunder we made learning to vape. And hopefully I'm smart enough to know that I don't know everything. At least this guy was smart AND brave enough to post his question and take the flak for it. I'm sure glad the mods stomp on flaming around here or that poor fellow would most likely be long gone considering the response I've seen so far. Live and let live.......

 

[2legsshrt]

Well this is a great way to try out your DNA40 device I kicked the temp up to 430 and power up to 10w much better. Great taste.If you get a VS and get the free bottle of juice don't get the Very Berry it sucks. Put some of my own in here much better.
