I agree. But I do like my 1.2Ω S coils in the Sensis a lot!





Thanks. I have a feeling that you too like a bit moar air than I do. ;)

I really like them both. I love my Sceptres for the form factor and portability. Zs are more for at-home leisurely vape.

And I never do autodraw. Too weak for me.
We’re probably fairly close I think. Our RTA stashes have most of the same ones.
On autodraw the sceptre is more restricted than I normally use, but I do like it. Most of my Zs are 1.6 (a few boxes of 0.8), my sceptre 1.2 ( I have some boxes of 0.65 coming).
Autodraw seems to work or not, depending on the pod. Not great QC. Some it’s perfect, others it’s wayyyy too tight and I use the button. I don’t want to waste pods, so for the moment I have 2 that autodraw and one button activated. I’m beginning to think the looser autodraw pods are the oops ones though. They were the 2 I got first.

Hi in here! In the past week I did two orders from lightfire/kangertech, wire optium and heartland vapes for one more liter. I finally picked up a rba for the voopoo vinci x but forgot to pick up a few spare tanks! It looks like another order somewhere.

I had no idea flavorah had a list of baddie flavors. :(

Who likes public school lunches? They were bad even before Michelle Obama got involved.
I am not a picky eater but my worst memory of elementary lunches was canned peas... yuck! One day I came home and told my mother nobody likes prunes so they all gave them to me... I ate 19 prunes (I think you know how this story ends LOL)

haven't burnt a coil, well, since last night, when I managed to vape my Sceptre pod dry... :lol: That was very unpleasant. :facepalm:

Yep - Not Nice, at all, as bad as lighting the wrong end of a filter cigarette . . . :blink:

Is it a drip coffee maker? Use the pour over method--just put your filter holder and a paper filter over a mug, boil some water in a kettle, and slowly pour it over the grinds. Makes great coffee. :)
That's what I do when camping... it's a plastic holder made to go over a cup (funnel/cone filters) Boil the water in a tea kettle (or pan if that's all you have) Worked great for just my wife and I but when there were four of us and I was the only one with coffee, it was a huge hassle (now I keep some instant for other people and hoard the good stuff for us)

May I suggest a quick straw poll for Z and Sceptre users? Which coils do you prefer? Z or S? Just curious. Thanks for your answers. :)

Personally, I find both of them equally enjoyable to vape with as long as they are above 1.0 oHm . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

So one day I put my RTA on my 220 watt mod (has a touch screen) Normally vape it at less than 25 watts. The mod (Vaporesso Revenger X that I love) has a safety feature that if you don't touch the screen for so many seconds, it automatically locks. Must have been in a hurry... didn't notice it went to max 220 watts. Melted the coils lead (Ni80) tasted horrible (I thought it was the wick that smoked... and I mean smoke not vapor) That was scary.

Still playing with the Sensis and 1.2 coil.

10 watts, airflow halfway open is my sweet spot. FWIW. :D

Interesting, normally I would use the same settings, however I've been using the Sensis with a 1.2 coil set at 7.5 Watts and find it an enjoyable vape . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

I have never used a z coil. Aren’t they MTL? That’s probably why. I stocked up on atlantis coils which are more DL.
There are many choices. They now have (that came with my Kroma-Z) 0.8 and 0.3 ohm coils. I like them both.
The 0.3 coil is really nice for DL (my device detects the coil and runs at 30 W) The 0.8 coil is loose MTL and super good flavor (runs at 16 watts)

funny how your tastes change
I used to mix this up when I was being lazy and loved it
now, not so much
still trying to use up my old store bought juices, pineapple custard (sounded good, not really...was more of a toasted/burnt pineapple taste), chocolate something or another (I can't even read the label anymore...again not that great...has an off taste and bitter) and then a cheesecake that is actually pretty good but way too sweet...so playing around and I mixed them together one time long ago and they played really well together, more of a pineapple cheesecake and the chocolate helped take a lot of the sweetness out...so when I wanted something quick and easy I'd mix them up....so I used the last of them tonight and mixed them up....not really enjoying this so much at the moment....it's overly sweet and bitter at the same time and has almost a metallic/copper taste to it....leaves a lovely aftertaste in my mouth of like when I have acid reflux and trying not to get sick....mmm yummy :sneaky: well that's gonna get dumped down the drain....needed to clean my coil anyways :lol:

This list is overdone and unnecessarily alarming. But I guess it's a good info for people who are trying to avoid anything even remotely and/or potentially harmful. I avoid diketones, sucralose, fructose and such, and I'm aware of the menthol/mint debate (I still like my minty vapes though); Kurt did warn us a long time ago about possible lung irritants like cinnamaldehyde, eugenol (clove, nutmeg), but I don't like those, so I'm OK. But citric acid??? Why? Vermont vapor used citric acid in their nic, NN adds citric acid as a preservative in their V3. Of course, if one is concerned about nicotine salts in general, I'm not, maybe it's OK to post a caution?

Using Citric Acid in DIY
I dont know if I would go so far as to say overdone and unnecessary. Its just to inform people of what there taking into there lungs. I personally dont worry to much about the "caution" list but I do try to avoid a lot of the ones on the "avoid" part of it. Its just information and if you choose to not use it thats anybodys choice.

I think we agree. :D

I never said unnecessary; I said unnecessarily alarming. I also said: "I guess it's a good info for people who are trying to avoid anything even remotely and/or potentially harmful."

Interesting about the QC. Please let us know how you feel about those .65Ω coils when you get them. I never thought I'd like anything this low, but they are surprisingly enjoyable in the Sceptre--not so much in the Sensis. They are smaller and tighter than the 1.2s, but have more oomph. But I don't care at all about that MTL/DL pod, too tight for me, after all.

Maybe @hittman is on to something in his review of the Sensis. Innokin probably should have made the Sensis compatible with Z coils. :)

That's odd. I'm a low wattage vaper but, to me, 1.2Ω coil needs 10 watts. Even 9 watts is too low.

    I didn’t have any luck with the .65 coil that came in my kit. I tried different watts and frequency settings. Maybe I got a bad coil. The .25 in my kit was obviously bad but had spares and the second one was ok.
