The Womper Woom OR You Might Be A Modwomper

*sigh*

No judgment, fellow wompers, but screw clones.

I wish I would have picked up the Aqua 2 OTM version when FT had it, people who bought those actually got an authentic for $35.

Funny how the 1:1 kayfun V4 clones were for sale the next day after the Authentic hit the distributors. I don't think anyone could tool up the CNC's that fast.

But yeah for the sub $50 Authentic its not worth chasing a clone.

I am really glad I didn't spend $200 getting in the Facebook line for a Nextgen atty, I would have been severely disappointed.

Clones are the people's version of the things that the great leader uses.

Some clones are better then others

Just had an idea in another thread....mod wompers, us womp rats, could start a new trend.....RAT MODS!

What, exactly, would a Rat Mod be?

 

[USMCotaku]

Same idea as the cars, function over form, to the extreme of making it as ugly as possible....so ugly it becomes cool

Kinda judgemental of ya there VictorViper.

Screw clones........ Um, see pic above.. Takes on a whole new meaning

Honestly, if it weren't for clones, I might not still be vaping. I'm not sure if I'd be smoking, but I definitely wouldn't have the gear that I have.

Absolutely! No way I could afford 4 kayfuns, if they were "authentics". And the Achilles authentic has never been in stock, that I've seen. I haven't bought any clone mods, unless you count the Vamo being made by so many different mfr's, but for toppers there's no way I can afford "authentic" prices -- if I could even actually find the authentics.

ETA: I take that back; my Fallen Angel is the Electric Angel clone by EHPro. But all my other mods are inexpensive authentics -- Eleaf, Sigelei, Innokin, Smoktech, Joyetech. And Vamo.

rat mods ... I like it!

My old cHana 30w, with my in progress Frankenstein RDA....base is from a nimbus, top is made out of an aerotank megas steel tank, a carto tank top with carto as drip tip.

Still drilling out the air hole...my bit broke

I think I'm going to try some twisted wire in the Achilles on my Evic-VT; I've gotten so used to wimpy builds so I don't choke to death on vapor, but with the modulated temp, I think I need to build a bit more aggressively. With my usual sort of wimpy build, even at .5Ω. 35w, 380F-400F, it will do ok at first, but after a while, the vapor and flavor really fall off, till the best way I can describe it is "anemic" -- I'm getting more vapor and flavor from a 1.6Ω kanthal at 8w!

Maybe a more aggressive build, and controlling the amount of vapor with the temp selection, will be more of what I'm looking for with the TC.

I did a little experiment after I got my regulated mods earlier this year. I wanted to see how much difference resistance makes with them when you keep the watts the same. I have two Mutation X RDAs and set one up at if I remember correctly 0.8 ohms and the other at 0.4, put them each on a mod and vaped them alternately at the same watts. I found the amount of vapor produced was so similar I couldn't tell the difference between them.

I used the same gauge wire on both setups so the 0.8 ohm took a bit longer to heat up. I could have fixed that by going to a higher gauge wire. The 0.8 ohm build also gave me slightly more flavor, but that would probably have gone away with higher gauge wire. I could have experimented more with it all, but I didn't feel the need.

IMO try the lower resistance Andria. It will change your vape a bit without making it a more aggressive vape. After that it just depends on weather you like the change or not

With regulated mods, I usually like more wraps/higher resistance with a bit more power for better flavor, but with these tc mods I seem to like lower res. builds for some reason.

Yeah I'm gonna try that twisted wire, and aim for about .3Ω. I'm fine with wimpy 1.7Ω builds with kanthal, but with TC, it'll start out ok, but after about a day or so, the vapor and flavor really fall off to nearly nothing, using a .5Ω titanium coil. So I figured I'd try something more extreme; I can keep the temp on the low side to start with, as I generally do for breaking-in wicks anyway... but after a day or so, if the vapor/flavor fall off, I can turn it up a bit more and maybe keep it vaping well enough. Considering that I can't dry-burn titanium, and it costs roughly twice the price of kanthal, putting a new coil on everyday is not a good solution.

Still say the number one cause of performance dropping off is the wick... It's not saturating enough, causing temp protection to kick in early.

It was a little micro board crash

well now the one I LEFT, isn't there anymore!

I said, I don't know how it can get anymore saturated than "shiny wet."
