Timeline of vaping history and some old school things

[Spydro]

Look at that massive air hole on that genny ( perhaps the cobra?). One single, 1 mm or less was it .I remember going from 32 and 30 to 28g and drilling out a genny to over 1mm and thinking ,much too airy and just ruined my tank....

I drilled out most of my early MTL atty's for DLH (way too many of them to list, but remember even $150-$285 atty's that were drilled). Some of the single coil atty's that allowed a center/high coil build even got dual air holes. If you could drive a 1956 Edsel thru the drilled hole it had big enough air for my DLH's. However, a few high end MTL had become too rare to destroy their MTL abilities or did not lend themselves to drilling very well, so were just put away and not used by me.

This thread is bringing back so many memories. I still have one of the first "bottom feeders" in a drawer someplace. Bought it in the classifieds here at EFC. Before the Buzz and the Provari came along everyone was vaping on the cheap so there was a constant flow of DIY improvements people came up with. Anyone remember stuffing cartridges with strips of aquarium filter (with or without the cocktail straw down one side to increase airflow) or the fringes cut out of tea bag casings? Those were the days...

Aquarium filter... I didn't like cartos, used flow control By Leo Sophia's instead in my carto tanks. But I did use the filter material in all of my VapourArt Heron's and Spheroids.

Seven of the eleven VA tube mods I have...

Not really.

Khutoryansky video are Cool!

But my post, which you quoted, was specific to regulated mods based on @VapourFlavour inquiry of a coils resistance.

If you were speaking about a mech, why did you quote Punk In Drublic's post, which was about a regulated mod?

Mechs and regulated mods utilize battery current differently.

Yes, I got confused. I was trying to apply the mech calculations to the regulated mod.

My sqounk pin was broken on my reo mini. A guy from ecgwas able to send me a brass sqounk pin. I have the door and everything. I am just looking for 306 atomizers to test this thing out. Ha, they appeared to be discontinued, but I found a few of them. Kind of expensive now. What else can I use on this thing? I am thinking about a carto if I can find them.

Really? Nobody mentioned the Vamo yet??? The ProVari folks might still have Vamo PTSD. Remember? We'd read "yeah, but I can buy 15 Vamo's for the price of one ProVari!" Oh, the good ol days....

15 Vamo's would get you the same use as 1 ProVari provided you lost your ProVari inside of a month....

Provari wars! Lolol, yeah, the good old days

i remember being able to change to root mean square on those

If I remember correctly. The root mean square is to show how reliable a data set is. The closer to one the better. If I am correct, I don't know how that even applies to vaping.

Edit: I was way off. I was thinking of R-square value. I remember RMS now from physics. I did terrible in that.

I remember burning up some perfectly good Vivi Nova coils due to that feature....

When you mentioned the aquarium filter, my first thought was the lipton pyramid tea bags hack. I tried it one time. It tasted like fruity tea.

Wasn't there a 12 watt at one point too, or is that just my brain at the end of a too-long week?

If I recall correctly one of the itaste mods was 1-12 watts. I can't seem to find anything about it though.

The SVD was my first mod. I still have it and still works after a little over 4 years.

You must have bought the first edition.

Buttons turned to crap after that .

I actually really liked the original SVD's design, other than the height. The vape wasn't so great ("jumpy" is the word that comes to mind), but I thought it looked SO cool. I wish they had made the same model with the Evolv chip instead of the redesigned V2 (which was still a long baseball bat).

If I recall correctly one of the itaste mods was 1-12 watts. I can't seem to find anything about it though.

I was thinking of the Evolv stuff, actually. I don't know why but I thought the original Darwin was 12, but I've no idea why I think that.

Where my keys at.

The SVD was my first mod. I still have it and still works after a little over 4 years.

Even though I wasn't crazy about the vape, I always regretted trading that thing away. A vaper's lament.

Still have heads for the vapopoclypes.
