Switching to Mod from Regulated ego - Shopping list

[rzil]

Hi well I think I've ordered almost everything I need and though it would be nice to share it with this forum in case some1 else wants to move to Mechanical mod.

The items that I chose were recommended mainly by my local ecf forum

1. Magneto mod - Actually no1 suggested it to me , some told me to go with the Nemesis but I really wanted an authentic item which might be great for a Mech mod noob like me

2. Kick - Not a must but I bought it for safety

3. Kayfun clone 3.1 Kit
https://www.fasttech.com/p/1630300

4.Nitecore I2 Lithium Li-ion Ni-MH Ni-Cd Smart Battery Charger (EU) , NOTE THIS IS A EURO PLUG , if you live in the states buy 1 with the US PLUG

5. Ohm reader - I'm not messing around with safety , This is a must buy !

Skip the silica and get some cotton.

This... unless you dig glass in your lungs lol. Cant believe anyone still uses it.

Just bought some cotton wicks , still want to silica though for the first build

Agree with Mr.Plink you gotta get some cotton. Japanese or 100% organic. The only folks i know still rockin silica are the OG's that started it all LOL. Also good luck with shipping time from fast-tech i hope you don't expect it soon because next day shipping isn't really next day shipping with those guys. Took me about a month to get my items from them. As far as your kick goes it will fit in the magneto with an 18650, but a good amount of threads will be showing so if your going to use it then best bet is to go a size smaller. All in all it looks like you have a great list of goodies and it will be an awesome time when they come in. VAPE ON!

Thx , Got enough supply to wait for them so I'm not overly concern about how long it take , of course I will be a bit angry if it takes over a month to get here but that's the price you pay for their amazing price tags .

If I lived in the States I might have not ordered that much from FT because you got some great vendors over there

I honestly wouldn't even bother with the silica. More difficult to work with, and no where near the flavor of using a bit of just a regular organic cotton ball. Just my

I've made both cotton and silica work for me. I consider both of these, rayon, hemp and SS mesh reasonably safe.

They all have their good and bad points.

thought about mesh but some1 from our local ecf told me that it's a bit difficult to work with and I shouldn't try it for my first builds

7. Voltmeter

Did you mean a multimeter or a DMM as people refer to them on ECF? The voltmeter that comes with his ohm meter looks like it is just for voltage drop.

I may be mistaken, but i am just trying to make sure everyone is on the same page.



Good luck trying to contain yourself for 3-8 weeks!!!

I have the same ft ohm/volt reader. It is a good ohm reader. Quite accurate actually.
It also works well as a volt meter for a mech.

It will not read RMS so is not a good voltmeter for a regulated mod using pwm.

Worth the price IMHO. Mine is about six months old and trouble free.

Idk how you went with a magneto over the nemesis, that smoke tech emblem on the side of that casing is UGGGGLAAAYYY

well I was a bit worried about Nemesis being a clone , I heard that clones sometimes need some adjustments and as some1 who is new to mods (I don't even own a regulated 1) I preferred an authentic device to avoid such issues.

He's right. Mesh is the hardest to work with because you have to oxidize the steel mesh so it doesn't short the coil. The good thing is, the SS wick in my AGA-T has been there for around 40ML now and I've cleaned it twice. It will likely go through 100 ML before I turn it around and use the other end. That's 200 ML of juice before I need to make a new one. It also has very clean flavor.

OTOH, cotton or rayon are really cheap and very quick and easy to work with. I replace cotton about every 15 ML and rayon about every 40 ML.

Each have their own safety issues too.

IMO, start with organic cotton and learn to use it as best you can. If you want to later you can try something else and you'll have a good benchmark to use as a comparison.

DMM stands for digital multimeter, as opposed to an analog multimeter. I think it's pretty common usage out there.
