that is just plain silly.
it would take an Efest 18650 to run that.
Or one of those 100A 26650's ;)
Or just a plain old quad parallel Hammer of God! ;)

Since we're back on builds I put 2 Wismec notch coils in the Boreas. Even in that it's somewhat of a tight fit. They are 8.80mm wide and the ID is 5mm. A single coil is around .23 ohms. Because they are made for the Theorem the leads are pre bent to fit. I did straighten them out so they would fit in the Boreas. I think the leads are made of nickel because they they are very soft and I did snap one off screwing it in with the grub screw. I think next time after I straighten it I will bend it back and twist the lead to make it stronger. I'm not sure if that will lower the ohms or not. These things are pretty big and come pre-loaded with what looks like KGD cotton. Running it in dual notch coil it is reading at .13ohm on my Cuboid. I have it @ 70 watts and going between 420 - 470 degrees. The flavor is really good and needless to say Clouds Bro Clouds!

I am going to run these for awhile and see how they hold up. Here's a couple of pics. Like I said they are loaded with cotton so I had to trim a lot off.
I like the notch coils, but I loaded mine up with Rayon in the Theorem.
I have to see how well they hold up to a gentle dry burn.

I don't have the Theorem. I didn't use Rayon yet because I wanted to see how they are as sold. More than likely I will change it out to Rayon when these need rewicking. I am enjoying them though as well. I think I've seen that if you keep it under 30 watts to dry burn it will clean them and they would be good to go again.

I ran two tanks through the Theorem with the cotton wick just to see how it was as well.
Thanks for the info on the dry burn, they should last quite a while with a little care.

I think they will too. They are pretty sturdy other than the legs being a little soft. But at least the welds are strong!

I've also heard the Halo has filed one too! Let the games begin!!! If every company files suit the FDA will have it's hands full! We can tie them up in court and push this back further!!

It's the same company. :) Nicopure makes Halo e-juice.

I got the rest of my iSub RBAs built today, and I did one with 26g wire at 1.0 ohm (approximately). I'm not sure it's getting hot enough for my liking. I'm still playing around with wattage on that one. The rest I did with 24g at around .5 ohms. The problem I was having with getting the caps on them was because of milling dust in the threads, apparently. Well, they LOOKED clean, so I didn't bother to wash the first two. The other four I DID wash, and once I got the threads started (that IS still pretty difficult), they screwed on with no problems, and no further grinding sounds. :oops:

So I change my verdict. I actually DO like these now. :D It still hurts my thumbs to twirl that tiny little screwdriver, but I won't be doing this every day, so I'll just deal with it when I have to. Maybe I can plan ahead and take extra aspirin before I do them the next time.

If I got a Theorem I would have to try rolled stainless mesh wicks in it :)
That's what old Genny's are for... :w00t:

The Theorem probably wouldn't work too well with a mesh build as there is no direct air to the coil. It is either back bottom, top front or a combination of both. You would have no way to directly apply air flow.

Love the picture!!! :thumbs:

I don't know about the iJoy Solo Mini, I'm looking to get one of these.
$38.08 Boxer Mini 80W TC VW APV Box Mod - 5W-80W / stainless steel / 1*18650 at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Yeah, those were my BAD hair days :lol:

And I did finally find some threads here about the ijoy. The one you reference is quite nifty looking. I'm on the hunt for a couple more mods - I think I'm just going to stick with single-battery devices. I really have never pushed anything much above 50W, and if I do, it's for a very short period of time. My normal world is between about 9-35W. I've ordered a 2nd Pico and a 2nd Dripbox. I would like to try a couple of others, but I really love my evic vtc mini and my cloupor mini+ mods. The Pico is nice because it's a bit smaller and lighter.

I've been peeking at the Cuboid Mini as well. I don't know. I have a fair collection - I'm just trying to be "smart" with some of my purchases with the pending schizz-storm.

Lannie if they have a Dollar Tree around your parts, these will save your thumbs. For a buck they can't be beat.:banana::banana::banana:

What does anyone know about the iJoy Solo Mini?
We got one for Lannie and it started screwing up shortly after she started using it. I took it to experiment with and in VW mode, it continually turned itself off, or asked if I had a new coil when I pressed the fire button, even though I had not taken the tank off or turned the mod off. Many times I would press the fire button and nothing at all happened. I decided to try it in TC mode (temp control - it also has a taste control mode) and it worked much better, but it still has the occasional not-firing-when-button-is-pushed problem. So I just curse at it and push the button again. In my view, it is not worth the $50 I paid.

She's already in bed, so I am answering for her. There is no such store here. He have a Family Dollar store in Sturgis (75 miles one way). Are they related? :) Anyway, there is a Harbor Freight store in Rapid City, so I figured to stop in there the end of this month and see if I can get her a whole set of tiny screwdrivers with bigger handles.

Hey folks.... What does anyone know about the iJoy Solo Mini? I've been perusing mods - came across this one (which happens to be on sale at MFS), but couldn't find anything in the APV threads.... (or I'm sucking at search criteria)
Hiya Dinger....good to see ya!!!

I was thinkin you had some Reos. Unless you change your watts a lot through the day, it's your best bet. There is nothin on them to break beyond even my (incredibly limited) ability to fix em, or you can always send em back to Rob to be fixed, but mostly nuttin ever happens to em. They may cost 3 times more than a $50.00 mod, but they'll last 100 times longer! I have no doubt my Reos will easily outlast me, and I'm only 52.

I'm gonna check their website, see if I can see a better pic and description of these. My son is off on Wed, may be able to go check it out. Hope they come in hex and phillips.
