Man, I'm such an idiot: I was shaving this morning with my rechargeable razor plugged in and it blew my left cheek off, so I tried to call 911 with my phone plugged in and it blew my right ear off. I tried to calm down and have a vape with my PV plugged in and it blew my nose right off my face! Sorry about the typos, but when I started this post I had my rechargeable mouse plugged in and it blew my right hand off. I would try driving to the hospital, but know telling what the battery in my car is going to blow off!

I have been charging and vaping through the USB since my S class. But since reading your post dannyben I have stopped. Such a shame as I really liked just leaving it teathered while I worked. No problem. Best to be safe and nice some of you are warning us just newbies just in case. I have asked YiHI and agree people should shut up and ask YiHi too.

Anyway, I am so happy. All my problems seem to have gove away as my steam tuner spring updates arrived yesterday and I have had some time to play around. I had a mare with them to start with. I threw away all the silver springs for my kayfun V4s. And the gold ones were too fat. So I could not use them until Steam Tuners told me i don't even need a spring (Doh! you idiot). So, I swapped out the so called updated gold spring and fitted the tuner kit. Oh mama... It acually works on the kayfun V4. My Subtank fainted right there on the spot. And every one of my drip tips screemed "Hurrah!" I sware their mouth holes went wide bore right in front of me. That's how slick my V4s are. No room on the atomizer stand for anything but Kayfun now me thinks. I'm now an official vaper. Let the party begin. But honestly, my V4s are working perfecly with my m class. I am so happy. Now I am a big boy :) I do feel a little older too.

One question, do you guys start low temp and then raise it a little? This is the first time I have got through two builds with the same perfect results. I hope my other decks work the same but I can say these guys fixed my V4s. Strange SM have not fixed this as it seems such a simple fix. At least I can deactivate sulk mode at last. Maybe activate smug mode?

I believe it was Croak who advised me on getting the tuners (sorry if it was someone else). Thank you who ever you are. You really helped me stop smoking. No joke! I owe you one ok!!!

Take care all and happy weekend

I have a question. I got my 26awg NI200 and wrapped a coil last night. It seemed like well it did take a 1/2 a tank of juice to get it broken in so that it didn't have a funny taste. Here is what I want to know I almost like the 28awg at .09 better then the 26awg at .072 better. The 26 seems like a lot warmer vape. I have been trying to get it dialed in where I get the best flavor and right now I'm using it a 15J 390 degrees and it's pretty good. Hitting temp fast enough for me and holding 390 well but it is a warmer vape which I'm not sure I like. I should have wiped the wire with alcohol but thats water under the bridge it's gotten rid of the funny taste. What I was wondering is is that what you guys that are using the 26 finding. Seems to be a lot warmer vape and have to use a lower temp. My coil is 7 wraps 3mm using KGD with 28awg 7 wraps 3mm .09 I was using 18J at 410 and that was where it was the best to me. I know that there is an error in temp the further you are from .065 does this all sound right. Lower temp and J with it being closer to .065. Oh and I am using a Kanger STM and soft mode right now.

I am getting a warmer vape with the 26 gauge. I'm using 7/6 wraps on a 3mm i.d. I'm liking the 26 gauge much more, but then again, I like a warmer vape. The more I vape on this coil, the better it gets.

LoL. I think the deal is more of a concern about damaging the usb and not being able to upgrade through it and a more sensible way of use. I have been charging through it since I sold my chargers , mods and batteries (mistake) a while back when I went to isticks. I don't vape it while charging. Something about new technology and a sub .1 ohm coil to my lips has me wantin to do things by the man.'s suggestions. I'm not denying there could be serious issues but not really afraid of the mod either. I too appreciate the guys that pointed out the recommendations. I've been in the habit of vapin the sticks pass through and may have done the same with the SX. I expect their FAQ sheet to change and maybe help clear up doubts for those who have them.

I break it in slowly. Start at 10J 370degrees then slowly work up. 25J is pretty high I slowly go from 10J to 12J 380 then 14J 390 then 14J 400 then 16J 400 and vape it there for a while use soft mode to get it broken in. Eventually up to 18J 410. I never start right out at a high J or temp and I haven't had a coil fail yet. You are wetting the wick really well before you start right. I vape it on 2 holes at first to make sure it is wicking well. Make sure before you close up the RBA deck that you get the wick wet with juice.

thanks, I went for 6 wraps and spaced them out, set at 25j and burnt my cotton at 240f
rewicked and verging on burnt at 220f, set at minimum of 212 and its working fine now
came in a 0.12 so my legs must be a bit longer than usual
Also I'm sure you did but you did push the up and down buttons and locked in the resistance right?

Yes I am noticing that also I am running on 16J 380 right now and tasting pretty darned good.

this time I got 0.08 and did not plan on gradually increasing as only just seen your advice but started at 20j and 220f but finding the sweet spot kept upping both and now at 30j with 420f and its just reaching the limit towards the end of a vape

Yeah I find that I will vape it on 18J after a while I go to standard mode. I never go above that in Joules mode and if the vape gets a little weak I just add maybe 2or3 more Joules. That .08 sounds a lot closer to what it should be too. Also to me the powerful and powerful+ don't really work right in Joules mode.

Just curious about something which I'm sure there are a lot of other opinions. I have been using the Kanger STM on both of my M's and seem to work great. Thinking of getting another couple for different flavors, are any in that price range as good or better. Have heard the Lemo2 pros and cons. What do you guys think. Hows the airflow on the Lemo 2 comparitively and how hard is it to build comparitively. I am only interested in RTA's Oh also have any of you gotten the new STM with the different air flow.

I believe we are expecting a update this month The YiHi SX350 35W Chip at Varitube | Page 104 | E-Cigarette Forum

Why Kidney puncher is waiting on their Pre-order #2 when other retailers have already received and sold most of their second order I wouldn't want to speculate.
Doesn't Kidney Puncher also list the price as being marked down too, yet its still $10 more than every other single vendor who sells the M-Class? I seem to notice them doing that fairly consistently with popular new products.

There's a ton of Sub ohm tanks out now and more coming out daily. Some report they love the Lemo 2 some don't. I cant answer your specific question on the airflow or build difficulty but would urge you to watch several different reviews to get a good understanding of some of the cons / pros for each device. We really have a lot to choose from today and your likes may not be the same as others. I can say just from observation I like the Kanger Subtank mini build deck better than the Lemo 2, I Like the notched area where the coil sits down between the +/- posts better than the flat surface or wrapping around the post blocks the Lemo 2 has. It seems to let me keep the coil lower in the bottom section of the chimney. Just my opinion

Thats kind of the way I feel and I have finally found a place that still has the older ones with the extra tank included. I don't know about the dual air flow, how well it works.
