3) Here's my innokin iTaste MVP 2 review. It's another winner from innokin, with the performance and battery life that made the original so popular, but with added features and physical improvements that keep it current. I think it's one of the best deals in vaping today. Full text review here.

4. 9/10- Those MVP2 mods look nice. If I wanted a box mod, I would jump on that. It's too bad the Tmax didn't work out so well, I like the idea of replaceable batteries and a flat top. I have a friend that is using Egos right now, and they're always falling over. I suppose he could just get a stand for it, but he's terrible about charging his mobile phone, making the MVP2 a nice choice. When he decides it's time for an upgrade, I'll recommend that. He's far from ready for 18650s and battery chargers.

Behold! The power of Noalox!

My Drawtube has been misbehaving badly. Giving very little vapor on fresh batteries. Blah blah blah.

Gave it a good acetone scrub down, and a good coating of Noalox and Ho. Lee. Cow!!! Its performance is BLOWING the doors off the Den of Vaping! It's like a whole new mod!

Noalox... The best $2.72 I've spent on vaping ever!

Thanks again!
I checked out the link (and ill bookmark it) however i am not sure how long the piece of wire i use to wrap a coil is. a little under an inch i the igo-l?
I was considering getting 30 gauge wire, for both single and dual coil set ups. should i only use the A-1 rated?

3. 9/10- @levisdaddy- I used Two 2" pieces of 32 gauge (~2 ohms a piece) for a 1ohm dual coil. According to the charts, the full length of each should have made it 1.15 ohms, but a tiny little bit goes past the post screws. There are charts for all the resistances, but they are strictly referring to full length. Once a mm or so passes the attachment screw on each end, as well as under the screw itself, a bit of length/resistance is lost. Bookmark this link for future reference, a link to "Ohms Per Inch Table" is on the top left. PV Web Apps

This would be my choice for a box mod, the vw makes it really appealing, and not having to use replaceable batteries is also a win.
gonna be a little bit before i jump on another mod. i just got, well, will on thursday methinks, a EA clone (very much looking fwd to this). I need to get a couple vapesafe's and up my RDA collection.
Still, i think the new mvp would be a great replacement for my everyday vamo

OK, the hardware store!

Sorta. I got mine at Home Depot. .5 ounce tube for just under three bucks cash. It's in the electrical department.

Hit up home depot dot com and search Noalox. Three results should come up. Then you can see if it is in stock at your local store!

Well worth the money!

5. 9/10- You can use Noalox on any metal, it's marketed for aluminum though. Even aluminum can oxidize, they made noalox specifically for that. Personally, I use No-Ox-Id A-Special. It's more expensive, but has a very good track record. I only bought a 7 gram tube of it, it should last years if it's just for PVs. You can get it on FleaBay for $4 shipped, or just get noalox, it's probably all the same for "our" needs.

@LD- check the ohms per inch chart, cut a piece of measured wire and see how many wraps it's going to take. After making a few, you'll get the idea.

The "metal" particles in Noalox are zinc @ ~20%. It's not really there to conduct electricity, the purpose is to stop aluminum from oxidizing. Even on the data sheets for Noalox and No-ox-id, I can't find any info saying that it conducts electricity. It sure seems to help though. I've done voltage drop tests before and after application and it made it better. :confused:

I can't quote numbers (I mean, I could... But that's Schnraph's kingdom!)... But what I can quote is an immediate before and after experience.

Before Noalox... Puny little corner store disposable vapor. After Noalox, on the same battery and atomizing device, epic advanced mod plumes of white cloudy goodness.

For months I panned the stuff as a gimmick. How could it possibly make any difference. But now... Now I'm gonna give all my mech mods the once over.
