My first vape was 3 ohm coil, with a store that made a mech with 2 smaller batteries stacked (of course I found out the dangers of this and abandoned their business) at 5 volts. I was using 24mg nic with menthol to make it stronger. Then I went to the Nautilus tank with an Istick 20 watt still 24mg nic. When I started out with the sub ohming craze, I got the aspire Atlantis, then the Atlantis 2 followed but the arctic tank. With these tanks, I was vaping a level 18 nic with the istick 50 watt. I went through a few more devices but was always closer the level 18 nic. The first time I ever went down to a level 12 nic was when I bought my target mini & it's tank that came with it. When I bought the alien, that was when I first went down to a level 6 nic with the Cloud Beast,from a 12 nic using the uwell crown tank. I still use a target mini tank at 12mg and a Nautilus 2 at 18mg nic.

All this is considered lowering down my nic level being that I used to be strictly 24mg. So, now that I started to build 3 weeks ago I learned so much more about vaping than I ever knew existed. But I learned that I lean toward that hotter more power build because of the nic level I'm used to. That's why I twisted 24 gauge and built a .215 at 70 watts. Anything less and I'll just be chasing and craving my nicotine fill.

I'm trying to lower myself down to a level 3 nic and I hope that works. It seems like most shops carry more flavor varieties in a 3mg nic anyway. So I am Vaping this way for now but I may end up in the future being a Tootle Puffer always. Hey ya never know.
Sometimes you have to do what is best for you.....and what works the best...............if hotter....more power is your thing....than go for it........

I just started building so I am an amateur vapor technically, even though I was vaping for 3 years because during those times I didn't know anything more than put a coil in the tank, add juice and vape. Now I am first learning the science behind vaping like it finally became my hobby.

    I always liked this atomizer....thought it looked nice sitting on top of my mods.......the only thing I noticed that I did not like so well was the atomizer

    cap was so small that it got really hot all the time........but the vape was good......and fun to make a coil for.............I've got a couple like this and mine

    had a screw on cap and always was a job to unscrew and look at the wick and then screw it back on.......I am always checking my coil and wick 4 some reason

    The air hole was drilled in the wrong place to line up with the coil....and so I was always spinning the cap to line up the air hole with my coil.........

    the top cap did not have only a few threads on it so if I gave it one half turn counter clock wise to line up my air hole with my coil....it was kind

    of loose....if I bumped it for any reason the cap would just fall off.............but other than this it was always a fun atomizer to vape from.......

    Ah ... You had a Phoenix atomizer. The one in that picture is an A7 mini. The A7 gets it's air from the bottom (through the 510 connection) instead of having the side hole. So while the Phoenix and the A7 looked the same, they were very different animals.

    I so miss Baditude. He was a really terrific guy.

    Yes batteries blew up in the old days most often from the same reasons they do now. User error. Using the wrong charger for the battery caused more than one ego battery to blow while charging (I remember several of these). Carrying batteries loose in pockets with change and keys. Not engaging the locking mechanism before pocketing a device.

    It seemed like there were less of them probably because it was not so well publicized when they blew.
    doesn't it just freak you out that there is actually "Pro Vapers"? That's just.....hilarious.:lol:
    funny as hell. Are there pro "smokers" too?

    What a job if you can make a living. I though playing video games for a living was mental...

    Ya..Pro Vaper is a self proclaimed title that would scare the hell out of me and I'd stay away as far as possible from them. I would say I'm far from a pro vaper but call me a educated vaper instead and I'll be happy to share what I know. Many miss or skip that "educated" part of their vape experience then jump right into the dangerous and then they become "Pro" cause they are able to walk the line and survive.

    MY ohm reader kept switching from .21 to .22 so I figured it measured at .215 and that's what I set my Alien to.

    So in reality your coil is anywhere from .15 to .35, and you have no means of telling which it is.
    All of those inexpensive ohm readers are +/- 10% or more.

    add:
    this is for education, and not to be critical of anyone.
