Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Good morning. Years ago, geekvape used to be my favorite company and really enjoyed reviewing for them. Then at some point they started falling apart as far as customer service and stopped having myself and many others do reviews. They started making a bunch of pods and the mods and tanks they did release were just revisions of the same old things. They lost their design engineer that developed the aegis line and things went downhill from there. They said some not nice things about myself and others here on ECF that reviewed for them and I swore I’d never review anything for them again. As a matter of fact I haven’t even used any of their hardware that I own for a couple years.

Good morning, hitt.

Am I good I need some help bro

Check First time wicking coils (help needed) for more info. I'm worried about shorts or other issues specifically. This is a DIY Clapton. From my understanding most current passes to the wrap since it has a lower resistance. Am I good here?

I also accidently made them too big in diameter I think. Oops.

Which would you recommend then? I'm thinking about buying a new mod. I have a few prerequisites tho.

- Box mod (regulated only)
- Waterproof
- Shock proof
- Preferably a newer model
- Single battery
- Good safety (venting, battery safety, great short circuit protection...)
- Longetivity (something that won't stop working in a year)

Could you also tell me more about venting and how designs relate to that? If you have no venting holes it would be like a hand grenade basically if the battery were to enter thermal runaway right? But most that have venting holes would eject the battery at the bottom if that were to happen right? I often use my vape sitting down and obviously it would not be as bad as the possibility of the battery ejecting in the direction of your face but you don't want it to fly towards you leg either right.

Wish I got free vape gear to review also.

Some have bottom caps with vent holes and some others have vents when they have a c frame. I don’t really know how waterproof a mod can be if it has vent holes or slots. I’m guessing the new Aegis is ok. I have a grudge against geekvape so don’t use their stuff. I’ve been vaping for 16 years and have never had a reliable brand battery vent in a mod. I did have it happen in a charger so I charge inside a fire resistant bag that I bought.

You charged it separately right? You take out the batteries every time?

Wow. I know it's a slight risk but I just like to be safe. I think maybe I'll but the lost vape themala next or something of the like. Maybe Vaporesso but I have a bad experience with lost vape so I'm not sure. I bought a pod from them once that leaked consistently it was terrible. Also no good hits.

How do you think that happened? Don't charges have circuit protection? Power surge? Short?

 

[bananastrawberry]

I don't understand vent holes personally. If you have it on the bottom and it were to vent it could eject, launch from the mod right? Doesn't seem very safe. Of course having it flying in the direction of your face is not good either but I don't want it going towards my legs / body either!

With the c door ones I'm not sure what would happen. Door would blow open? Doesn't seem very pleasant either. Ideally it'd vent and stay inside the mod I find. Please also check my coils. In this thread. thx

I'm very much alive. Day 3 of VBS done. The kids are moving right along with their rosaries. Several have completed them, and by tomorrow most will be done. That means I'll need to find something to keep them occupied on Friday. I've got a PowerPoint presentation i can show, if I'm able to get IT help with the projector.
