Night folks. Be good

Being good is no fun.

More pics, moooooorrrrrrrre Pics

Far from tootling but in true Rixsta fashion, here is my new beauty

Morning! Waking up with my VF PRO starter and some Amaretto/Cheesecake/Vanilla.

Being good is no fun.

No fun is not good being.

Yeah tell me about it...
I never learned to dance and have forgotten that I wanted to learn.

Currently vaping at 6 watts on my istick 20W. Way too high, tastes like formaldehyde.

Vaping "King Tut" ejuice?

I have found that I have to set my istick20's to the lowest setting possible on them and everything still taste burnt sooooooo now I have graduated to istick30's and all is right with the world.

I am finally admitting to being a tootle puffer The highest I ever set mine is 8 watts. It is what works for me.

I got lost on the old thread and couldn't keep up, now there's a new thread and already five pages since I went to bed last night! LOL! I'm gonna try to do better at keeping up with this one, but it's not lookin' very good right now!

Yeah, the 20 doesn't do well at the low end. Poor choice they made for regulation, going with mean rather than RMS. A higher resistance coil may help.

One Malbec, coming up. Anyone else whilst I'm pretending to bartend?

I drank up my allotment a long time ago, so have one for me while you're at it.

Good job Kat, glad to see that everyone found the redux .

Once I get one of my 1.8 coils well broken in (the resistance has got up to about 2.2) it works. I really need to find or try to make some higher ohm coils but in the meantime I am enjoying the 30's

Ya, you need 3 ohms before an iStick20 will do 6 watts when fully charged. (doesn't have step down)
The 30 does have step down & it's RMS.

Coil well broken? I always assumed that if resistance goes up it's time to replace the coil. My replacement point for factory coil of 1.8 ohm was 2 ohms. My reasoning was that I will inhale more metal vapor than I like to when a coil blows up.

I haven't actually used a factory coil for at least a year. I just rebuild. Much more economical. Some of my DIY juice actually tastes better after the coil is well broken in.

Jack Daniels... Slighty cold...

Slightly cold? I keep my liquor in the freezer. Good thing; they never freeze, just keep getting colder.

I used one as long as I could ... just to see.
A 1.8 0hm coil went to 3.1 ohms before the wire was thin enough that it just popped. (set at 7 watts)

I hope everyone still has their carpet slippers on, we don't want the place getting dirty like the last one !.....No @Robino1 we most certainly don't

Coils popping. Been vaping since January, rebuilding Kanger T3 coils since march. Used 32 ga till recently, never had one pop. I just rewick em with cotton and keep on tootlin.
Move up to bored out T3 coils with enlarged wick slots and 2 mm 30 ga coils a couple of weeks ago. Tootlin at high wattage now 1.4 ohm at 4-5 volts.
