Thanks guys. Mine is a bottom coil. And yes it sucks juice down! That's what made me wonder about the revolver. When I use my 650 it doesn't seem to go through as much juice, I figured that even though I'm using a 60/40 mix if the vv is sucking through more juice a hit that maybe that's why my throat started breaking out and having issues again when moving to the revolver? It was a thought haha. I took some benadryl and put the pv down. I'm getting throat issues now and didn't want to risk anything being home alone. I did put the tank back on my 650 for tommorow. And as soon as I wake up I'm headed for the 30 mile trip to the store. I need something. I'm just about in tears from pure frustration :( yall have been a big help I will be back tommorow sweet dreams :)

Off topic question only cuz I was reading a little bit of the posts. If I build a single coil on my igo-w does it make sense its not giving off as much vapor as my iclear 16b seeing as its dual coil? I just feel like I can't get the building down very frustrating.

Thanks 4 the thread!

I give you a lot of credit for building coils. I haven't attempted that yet, but I think I'm on the verge. ;) My understanding is that dual coils give off more vapor than single coils do and also use more juice in the process. That could be why your single coil gives off less vapor than the dual one, not necessarily that you did it wrong.

Ok, the little cig a like is helping only it isn't strong enough, so as soon as I have money it is an Eroll for me, but I looked at something also from Joyetech anyone experience the E-cab? the reason I like it, You can get e-cab to 510 adaptor, I am unsure about those tanks with the E-roll, they look off putting to me. I have leaks.

Thanks guys. Its not easy & ur definitely right I read all these posts about I just got my kit in the mail and haven't had an analog since. Its mind boggling to me -- although I know deep down I can do it. There have been times I've run out of cigs and I don't run to the store....I can go without. Its just they're there. My bf has actually "attempted" & I say attempted very loosely vaping. I got him all hooked up with my little volt starter kit I have & a carto and sent him to work. What did he do? Bummed cigs off ppl & hardly touched the ecig!
Whats weird when I first started (njoy kings-not bad & blu - blech) he used the blu.
He's weird though he can quit cold turkey pretty easily but then he'll start back up months later. Me? I have NEVER quit...ever not since I started when I was oh 15.
It feels like try harder..but ya I AM!!
I'm glad I posted -- that's my rant, I feel better.

I feel the same way, I just need to find something that is comfortable, once I am quit for a long while it won't matter as much which device I use, I am not even sure if NIC is the thing I need. I can go anywhere with the NIC from 12MG to 32MG I don't really care about it. When I was in the hospital, I don't think they gave me a patch till the second day I was there. I didn't need it, I was too sick to care

I'm not familiar with the eCab. I see it has replaceable batteries which could be either good or bad. You still have to push a button whereas the eRoll is automatic, giving it more of a real cig experience. One of the drawbacks of the eRoll is the tiny juice cartridge. It only holds .5 mls. The way people handle that is to fill a bunch of them up in advance. The cartridge simply pulls off and you snap on another one. I've never had any leaks.

You are quite a heavy vaper, so being able to use a 510 on the eCab could be a better way for you to go. Hopefully somebody has some actual experience with it to help you out. Do you know what voltage it's regulated at? The eRoll is 3.7.

MonicaRae!!! HI !!!!!! Glad you found us. We just opened this thread today so I am extra happy about it. How are you?

Just so you know, I have not built a coil yet so I am going off all the reading I have been doing for months. I am on the wait list for a Russian 91% so I will be feeling your pain soon. :D

One thing you have to consider: dual coils is a new thing in vaping and is all the rage right now. What is trending is always the best (sarcasm). People have been vaping on single coils for years and been quite happy with their vapor and flavor. I have been told that doing single coils on an Igo-W is fine and will work just fine. I think you need to find the right type of build for your flavor and vapor preference. I have been reading about micro coils, they look easy and people swear by them and they are a long lasting single coil build. People are saying they are getting several weeks out of one coil and just changing the cotton.

What gauge wire and type are you using? How many wraps? What diameter drill bit? Is the coil lined up properly with the air hole and the right distance above the juice slots? All these things are important and will affect the taste and quality of the vape. There are so many moving parts to answer you that I do not know.

All I can do is point you to a few threads where you can read more and better info specific to coil building. The micro coil thread, the Kayfun and Kayfun lite thread, the Russian 91% thread. There are many more. I do not know what is the best, I am still trying to learn that myself. Of course everyone says their build is the best. I think it is trial and error in the end. You try one more or one less wrap. Different gauge wire. Cotton or silica.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...46327-russian-91-kayfun-lite-clone-twist.html

These are two that I have done some reading in. There are many more in here: Rebuildable Atomizer Systems

Sorry I could not give you a better answer to your question. Don't forget to come back and chat with us. Glad to see you. Sounds like you are holding your own which is a good thing. You will get there in your own time.

I'm not even sure if this is gonna post right. I never use tapatalk (is that what the app is called?) its a little confusing. Ive lurked on this thread for the longest finally decided to post....something.
Thank you ShariR for leading me here I honestly thought I was the only person here who still smoked (of course trying my best not to.) I started vaping almost a year ago & yes I still have a few cigarettes a day sometimes its 5 some days it can go up to almost 10. I think it makes it harder that I live with a smoker & he thinks my "vaping" is silly.

Off topic question only cuz I was reading a little bit of the posts. If I build a single coil on my igo-w does it make sense its not giving off as much vapor as my iclear 16b seeing as its dual coil? I just feel like I can't get the building down very frustrating.

I don't know if I'm suggesting out of what your looking for but the itaste vv 3.0 is great its not too big you get the variable voltage/wattage & its ego and 510 threaded. I love mine & it was my step-up device (I didn't want anything crazy)
Alot of sites have it but I used misthub. com I was leary there wasn't much on them but I got the starter kit which came with 5 iclear 16's. I got it on sale for $45 I think its $54 now but they threw in a lanyard and a 10ml of juice for free which was an awesome surprise.

Hi Shari! Omg you have no idea the amount of info out there! ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOU MAD. Between here YouTube the internet...its insane. I have luckily made friends with a few key people (superxdrifter) I think that's his name he started the micro coil thread -- keep him in mind he's awesome & so helpful! He made a very good point once though & said be careful of YouTube cuz there's people making videos that have no right to be doing it lol!
I started with 30 gauge kanthal & just sterile 100% cotton (balls) all of my coils have worked but you see people in videos blowing all this vapor & I'm like mine doesn't do that :(
But hey IT WORKS!

no, I didn't even look at that. guess I should. So frustrating sometimes all the crazy variables that will change the experience.

I have it, Honestly, I have just about everything that is VV/VW and it's not doing it for me. I was the kind of smoker that rarely had the cig out of mouth , took it in the shower with me too. had an ashtray right outside the door. I kept the cig dangling from my mouth, you really can't do that with any of these hard hitting ones

I have my pages set at 40 posts per page and we are just about to close out page 5 here on day one of this thread.

Can bunnies have kittens? Lox is going to start worrying about having to close this thread out in a few weeks. It is great to see some new people joining us here. Gives me some purpose and reinforces my love for vaping.
