Is this why one battery charges faster than the other on a married pair

Pretty much one has drained out more than the other one.

Batteries can be matched up pretty well with proper load / voltage testing.
It is still best if they have not been matched up to keep them in pairs and even to rotate their position in the parallel mod. If kept in pairs they age at close to the same rate and keep similar characteristics. So that they will put out more balanced current between the two of them.

also one charging up much faster than the other one can be an indication of a connection issue in your mod.
The one that charges up faster may have a bad connection in the mod where it was used.

Ok I will mark them to switch position in the mod. It is a ipv4 used. So I will watch it. Thank RC. I keep It at 25 watts with a Silo Beast 0.5 ohm coil

I have no plans of keeping this quad coil build in the Velocity, just wanted to do it just to do it. To me I get a far better flavored vape from a dual coil build at 60 watts, and to be honest, it really really drinks the juice. Plus its putting out so much vapor that I am able to taste the mango flavored vape 10 minutes after putting it down and sipping on a drink. I love the flavor but its too much.

Wanted to check on the amperage draw for I am using a match set of Efest 2500 mAh batteries that claim they are rated at 20/35 amps but Efest doesnt have the best reputation. For my normal dripping of a .5 ohm build at no more than 60 watts, thats only 11 amps for a dual battery set up, or a single battery running a .5 ohm coil, thats less than 8 amps and I have no worries on them for that, but high amperage draws, I dont trust them.

Kat, do you have the old style deck on your STM or the new style? The new style has two holes in line with the coil and wick. If you have the old style, unmodified then they dont like anything over 70VG/30PG and are better with 50/50. The new style, I run max VG with them. With both of them I use either Rayon or Cotton and wick the same way. Just enough so a slight resistance pulling thru, and I trim them just a bit past the threaded part, then hold each end up above the coil while putting the chamber on it. Then gently tuck the wick down and screw the very top cap on it. Mine never leak and wick just fine. Only time I ever got a dry hit is running heavy VG juice in unmodified RBA's or when the tank was actually bone dry.

I have the old style, which is why I am so reluctant to try it. The holes on the occ coils are bigger and I can't get THOSE to wick!
Good to know the rayon works so well in drippers... I hope to play with my new dripper again soon!

Nah, after I take 2-3 hits I have to hit the rescue inhaler. Hopefully going to 500/50 Advair instead of the 250/50 I have now will help a lot more.

I'm on the 250/50 right now; it's supposed to be 2x daily use but I only bother in the evenings, and only half the time at that. I can vape all day long but once the sun goes down, I don't know if it's the relative humidity that gets to me but I start feeling a bit tight of chest.

 

[Belhade]

I thought my Kayfuns worked great, and compared to T3S's, they really did -- but going to the Achilles has pretty much cured me of any tanks; all those vacuum issues are just a PITA!

Andria

No vaccuum issues on the Buddha mini...only impact issues

Good to hear you got it wicking with the Rayon Katt. I never got into the STM's as they make way too much noise for me to vape in the house. I have Rayon in the Kanfun's, Flashi's, Roses and my drippers, all wicking like a charm. I did try Rayon twice in the Big German but it had leaked on me quite bad. The weight of 10ml's of juice above the deck and the ability of Rayon to wick up the last little drop of juice, probably wicked it right down the dual air holes. The bottom collector cup was full of juice. I switched it back to Japanese cotton and haven't had it leak since. So the Big German will use Cotton Labo and everything else will be Rayon except the Gennys.

I love Rayon in the Origen Dripper or any dripper for that mater as you can vape the resvoir totally dry. Fill it with a different flavor and have almost no residual taste of the previous juice.

The stminis are a bit noisy huh? you should try a delta II (or not) -- I nicknamed mine (and I'm sure many others have as well) "The Whistler" - it whistles so loudly it gets my dog's attention every time I use it lol

Seriously, as much wicking trouble as I've had I probably should have given up on the stm, but the reasons I keep trying are - excellent taste (when it's wicking!) - easy to fill - easy to see how much is in the tank. I can't say that about any of my other gear, even tho they all wick better.

4. Can fire for 20 seconds (All other box can only fire for 10 seconds)

As I mentioned in the tootle puffer thread, that isn't true; the CF4 goes to 15sec.

They must have been thinking about Ego's?

It doesnt matter if its 15 or 20 seconds to me, after a steady 5 second inhale, my lungs are already full!

@USMCotaku CODY!! I bought some rayon at Sally and started using it yesterday. I think I used too much at first, cut back a little and it seems to be doing better. I'm such an oddball tho - nobody in the world has as much wicking trouble on these subtank minis as I do. So we will see... but right off the bat I noticed NO ICKY TASTE TO BREAK IN THE WICK!! Yay!! That alone makes it worth trying to get this down.

I just switched to (generic store brand) organic cotton balls, from (generic store brand) plain cotton balls, and that right there made a huge difference! For years I thought that nasty ten-minute taste was oils off the skin of my fingers, from coiling and wicking. Rayon would be the next logical step but organic seems to have done the trick for me.

Well, before I got the Advair, vaping had caused my rescue inhaler usage to go from my prescribed 8 puffs a day of Ventolin, to about 15 -- almost double what I should be using. Since I've had the 250/50 Advair, it's gone down to maybe 10 puffs a day, but that's still too much; when I smoked and used Advair, my rescue inhaler was used no more than about 4 puffs a day; I quit using the Advair because I really didn't need it; 8 puffs daily of Ventolin did me just fine, when I smoked. I'm hoping that the 500/50 Advair will give me more of what I need, because if I take more than 2 puffs daily of Advair, the salmeterol gives me UNGODLY leg cramps; it's a potassium thief.

ETA: actually the late day wheezing is probably from the accumulation of PG/VG over the day of vaping; I get wheezing late at night, so I recently went from 85% PG to 86%, because it's VG that gives my lungs fits.

Probably 9 moths or more ago I bought a bag full of Rayon rope off Ebay and that will probably last me a lifetime.

And the japanese organic is that much better; the taste is just the same as organic cotton balls, but there is FAR less break-in time, and it's quicker to make and thread the wick too. The difference in wicking is just amazing; when priming a wick made from organic cotton balls, it took 5-6 drops for each side, to get the wick fully saturated; with the japanese, 2-3 drops per side and that puppy is SOAKED all the way thru.

A friend PIFed me a sample of both KGD and Shiseido; I like the Shiseido better, and I found a local source (department store makeup counter!) so I don't have to mail-order it.

You can do 3 or 4 five second draws without letting the fire button go. What are they thinkin? All I see is somebody blowin a battery

Will it make my Kayfun work?? My buddy was right when he gave it to me: it either works like a champ, or tempts you to smash it through a window: there is no in between. The whole "leaking while burning cotton" phenomenon is absolutely fabulous.

Japanese cotton works great in the KF4, I think yours has a problem with o-rings or something. Try one of the Tobeco's for $20 and you should see a big difference with a properly working unit.

It should; it works terrifically well in my KFL+'s. I can't really advise about the KF v4s; thank heavens, I haven't bought one. But it's been my experience that anytime a KFL+ misbehaves, it usually is an o-ring, or more than one. To me, those v4s just have altogether too many parts; simplicity really is best I've found, with anything vapish. I think that's why I've come to love my Achilles so much; there's no complexity to it at all, none of that vacuum business; just coil, wick, prime, fill, and vape. I'm also revisiting my Magma lately, since I've gotten so fond of the Achilles, and although there is a *slight* leakage, for my use, in my "alternate" (tastebud-freshening) vape right here at my desk, it's mahhhhhhhhhvelous.

Thats why many of us modified our old style decks, and I actually like my modified deck better than the new style. The two juice feed slots on the base of the decks been deepened and widened with a dremel cut off wheel and holes the same size as the OCC heads holes was drilled into the chamber pipe. Feeds like a champ and can run max VG juice in it with no wicking or leaking problems at all.
The new style decks dont have a juice channel at all in the base and they put an o-ring on the chamber pipe which I removed from all of mine. When I get to it I plan on modifying my new style RBA decks (I bought 5 of them) by taking the Dremel cut off wheel and cutting from the hole all the way to the base and that will take care of any feeding problems these new bases have when the juice is below the feed hole.
I would suggest going no more than 60/40 VG/PG juice on your decks if your having wicking problems.
