I started vaping to cut down/quit smoking cigarettes and so far so good. I tried the cheap, throw away ones at the gas station and they just didn't satisfy me enough to stick with them. So recently these brick and mortar stores started popping up locally and I decided to give it another shot, but with real hardware this time. Needless to say I quit analogs the same day and haven't touched one since. I still have an unopened pack and a few in an open pack that I carry around in my bag just so I don't have that "naked, gotta buy some NOW" feeling. Haven't felt the need to smoke any of them though. I think the key is to find a setup thats right for you.
Anyone else here vape?

I use blu. I don't like it. 3 months so far.
That's impressive that you've stuck with it that long! I couldn't get into the "cigarette style" ones. They just don't have the power to get good vapor production or throat hit. I found this quite helpful: http://tasteyourjuice.com/wordpress/new-to-vaping/ His video's are good and he knows his stuff. Also he covers basically everything you'd ever need to know.

I bought this exact kit to start: http://uniquecigs.com/products-page/starter-kits/firefly-kit/
However their juice always tastes burnt to me and it's not the cheapest you can get an ego-style kit like that. A kit like that will get you started with a good, reliable device with pretty good battery life. Of course there's always cheaper, and always more expensive.

I can't say it's a cig alternative, but it has worked for me and a few friends that smoked more than me. The one thing that I must say is that getting your sense of smell and taste back is pretty sweet. Also, not smelling like an ashtray is a plus as well.

Oh no not at all :) he just had trouble finding a flavor he really liked, and he tried quite a few. I think the one he actually thought was alright was called "ectoplasm". I would take it up myself since they have cotton candy and apple pie :D

Can you recommend a good kit without breaking the wallet as I've seen some custom setups in the $300 mark.

I've heard great things about ectoplasm. It's on my "flavors to try" list. My current favorite flavors are desert flavors. Snickerdoodle cookies, strawberry shortcake, peanutbutter cup, ect. I also enjoy drink flavors every now and then. I found a pretty spot on Monster energy flavor.
I loved looking through the dessert flavor list because they always had some really tasty options :D it reminded me a lot of hookah menus. You should definitely try the ectoplasm next ^^

Doing a very quick search, I found out most places are sold out of ego-style kits. However I found one here: http://vapingzone.com/product-info.php?VZ_eGo-CE4__Passthrough_1000mAh_Starter_Kit_-_Black_-pid693.html
Also, you could buy online at uniquecigs.com where I purchased mine in-store. That kit comes with a bottle of liquid but I personally think their juice has a slight burnt aftertaste.

I tried e-ciggs recently and was really unimpressed. Tastes weird in natural flavor, and just flat out gross in other flavors. I tried tropical, natural, menthol, and cherry. All disgusting, plus it dries out my mouth something fierce. I thought the nicotine intake would be more noticeable, but I was unsure I was getting anything at all. I quit smoking about 3 years and tried this on a lark, but was just left with a lighter wallet and a sense of regret. I occasionally smoke cigars and think I'll just stick to that for now.
Were they the e-cigs that look like cigs?

you can get a good deal at www.smokelessimage.com, they generally have a 3-4 day sale with at least 20% off once a month, and I think the code voltsave15 is good for 15% off any time. They have a loyalty program too which takes an amount off every purchase via a points system. for me it usually covers at least the shipping on a 20-30 dollar order.
Very sustainable as far as cost goes. I think i've invested less than 120 dollars in the whole system and it's lasted nearly a year.

Just googled some of the ones you guys referenced, they look pretty good and seem to be at a good price too. I think the pax is slightly overpriced, but I feel the premium is justified. Most people have no idea wtf it is, and it doesn't leave my clothes smelling like smoking, so it allows me to self medicate in complete stealth. The vapor does give off an aroma though, so I can't exactly use it in enclosed/tight indoor public spaces and feel completely ninja like... but I can use it in bigger buildings or outdoor public spaces :)
If you want to hide the vapor, after you take a puff, take a deep breath and hold it in for a second.

I'm actually looking to get one of these, can some of the professionals point out a good cheap one to start with? I'd also like some good fruit flavors to go along with it!
Gupgup
Joyetech 510 or eGo. Fruit flavours are dire.
Also, this isn't what this thread is actually about. guys. They're talking about "herb" vaporisers, not e-cigs.
Edit: Also, also, I've never used a vaporiser but I'm interested because I can barely be arsed rolling. I don't really get what the benefits are exactly over pipes, etc. - aren't you still just burning the "tobacco" anyway?

LOL Malphas way to pick up what I'm putting down. The benefit of vaporizers is that you heat up the herb to the point right before combustion, so that there is no smoke involved but hot enough to liberate the desired compounds in the form of vapor. What is inhaled is hot air mixed with vapor, instead of harsh smoke. This way you get the effects you are looking for, minus all of the smoke/tar which is harsh on your lungs. You also don't stink up your clothes. When your herb is finished, it stays intact but turns a dark brown color similar to tobacco, as opposed to ash left behind by combustion.

I started smoking disposable Metros about a year back now, in hindsight they were really rather crap. Moved up to a Volt battery, cartos and juices. Nothing fancy but it's inexpensive and does the job.

Fairly cheap vapes mimicking the hookah feel.
My brother has one. You just gotta buy your own VG juice instead of it being already in it (like most e-cigs).
Some local headshops here in NJ are selling vapes but they are pretty expensive (but high quality from what I've seen).
Post by: TimIsABat on Sun, 23 June 2013, 22:53:11
You can get the $40 kit or you can buy everything separately and still get it for at most $50. My brother has one mixed with vapedojo.com components and it is amazing. Really good quality, thick vapor, nice throat hit (if you choose nicotine). I'm waiting to get more money to buy mine.
You can also buy online at http://vaporstoreonline.com
Like this vapor tank be serious:

i am a little tempted to get a liquid vape and make my own mix. i can't hang with nicotine anymore but i have found some guides on how to make good hash mixtures. seems a lot more convenient to me to pre-mix enough for a few cartridges than to have to use a pick and dab wax onto a heating element every 10-15 hits.

LOL nice. You gotta be careful with extracts, it's REALLY easy to take in too much, kind of like edibles.
yeah, it's easy to dose with oil. i dont **** with edibles too much because i have a really fast metabolism, so i end up just getting super lazy and unsocial for about 6 hours about 30 minutes after eating. great for sleep though. i have never experienced the effects of cannabinoid hyperemesis from extracts though, only from smoking plant matter. go figure.

Yup. That's him. Been on the waiting list for a couple months. I would have liked a snes controller better since that's the system I grew up with, but it's cool nonetheless. What makes the nes rattle? He sent me pics of the inside of the mod and it's completely gutted.

I have tried all sorts of vaps including an eGo, Volcano inferno and lavatube (volt mod ftw), pax (shake it like a polariod? lol whats my battery at), Cloud (so small & great for shatter)
I like them all, they all have their own use. I make my own bho and shatter and ejuice mixes. I usually start with no nic juice so the hit is more pure for taste
The looks people give you when puffing away are hilarious, especially when you smell like cotton candy hehehe

im going to bring this back from the grave. I tried one of those cheap-o gas station ecigs a few months back and it was a pretty awful experience. bad headaches, tight chest, chemical taste were just the start of the problems. i eventually threw it out a few days after trying it and went back to my trust reds.

nice post some pictures of it when you're done. i built my first coil in the igo last night. its pretty ugly but it works. 1.6 ohm @ 11 watts on the MVP. i need to drill the holes out a bit to open this thing up. it feels like i'm sucking up syrup through a straw.

One thing I wanted to know and have not been able to find a suitable answer to yet is do nicotine-free, tobacco-free e-pipes have any health hazard AT ALL?
Yes they do- but only currently to the user and in excessive dosages of PG or VG. The most sane thing that could happen from using as directed is becoming dehydrated. PG and VG both leech water from its surroundings until the bonds between the molecules break down.
Folks under adult age are also susceptible to becoming asthmatics if introduced to a large amount of inhaled PG. PG is used in child asthma inhalers, but there are alternatives as people can become allergic to PG suddenly and without warning.
It is unknown the effects of certain flavorings and they are largely neglected when considering health concerns... I have no idea what inhaling cinnamon or other flavors does over a period of time. It is doubtful anything happens as flavoring is such a small part of the total equation. There is much more PG, VG, and even more H2O in any mixture of juice.

I would like to get into this hobby, but I fear the health hazards and possible addictions. I would like to give this a go because I like menthol, coffee, and other flavors, so I would like a new method to experience these flavours.

MOZ - if you're in no hurry to get it, www.fasttech.com has really good prices and great cloned stuff but they are slow as hell. Sometimes its like 10 days to get to the US sometimes its 3 months. YMMV. I've purchased a ton of stuff on there and as long as you watch the reviews, you get good quality stuff. just don't buy batteries or else they'll get hung up in china. big issues at the moment with that.
MVP v2 is a good start as well as something like a VAMO V5 mod and an evod or iclear 30s if you're serious but you can go with one of the starter kits and be very satisfied with it.. There's plenty of 0 nic juice out there and plenty of studies stating that the health risk is very small to nil. The pharma companies and tobacco lobbyists are waging a war at the moment to get the general public misinformed to turn them against it. don't believe everything you read!

As to what badcop said, I agree and think it extends to both sides, especially if you go to places like ECF. There are a lot of drama mamas there that want to scare everyone into thinking the governments of the world want to ban all vaping all the time.

If you don't think you'd be tempted to try the nicotine, I'd say go for it. There's some really good flavors out there that even if I didn't need the nicotine, I'd still vape it.

Five pawns is awesome.
Thanks for the recommendations, but it was more like, most smokers DO_NOT recommend others to smoke, is it the same with vape? Specially if someone is going completely clean, no-tobacco, no-nicotin, is it just as bad as chewing gum?
Some people would say that, yeah, but I think it's mainly in reference to if you're using nic based juices. I've been vaping for about 6 months now and wasn't a smoker beforehand and I still don't feel that NEED that people warned me about. But everyone is different. I'd say try if you're interested and if you feel the hook dig in, get rid of the stuff. The secondhand market is lively enough you won't be out too much.

Thanks Binge for the information.Of course! Since you aren't after the nicotine effect, I'll give you some tips. If you want to vape liquid instead of dry plant material, I recommend using a vegetable glycerin extract. You decarb the herb first, then add about equal amount of VG to herb in a mason jar, and put it in a crockpot full of water for about 24-48 hours. You can look up detailed processes online. It works better if your plant material is stronger, using stress "mint" will produce an inferior vaping experience.

Depends on the tank. Cartomizer tanks typically don't have a cartomizer with them. Bottom feed and top feed tanks usually come with coils installed.
The tank that comes with the mvp has top feed atomizers and they come with it.

That's the exact same Innokin Itaste VV VW3.0 I have on the way to me. It's been getting good reviews on youtube.
I have been using just regular V2 e-cigs with the little tanks you can get for them for about 1 1/2 years now. I can't wait to get my variable voltage/wattage Itaste.

The only way I would get one is if I end up enjoying vaping a lot and the MVP 2 breaks or something. With a tube extension, extra battery, tank adapter and warranty plus shipping it would end up being $300 easy.

Nope, that MVP kit comes with a Innokin iClear30 Clearomizer. You're ready to vape except for your juice.
However, Tj isn't a fan of the 30. He likes the 30b since it's bottom feed coil and you don't have to tip/rotate the tank to keep the coil wet (since the wicks don't aways work the best)

It's OK. I'm not used to vaporizers yet I guess and I sort of feel like it ruins the taste of my 'tobacco.' Can't really compare it because this is the first vape I've ever owned which I got to save my tired and aging lungs, so on that front the switch from combustion is night and day cause I feel great. The Power Adapter is amazing and I can't imagine owning this product without one, it feels like a necessity. If I had one main complaint it would be that the chamber is too small so this is really more of a solo-use piece, but it is extremely well crafted and portable.

To buy or not to buy a Kay funProvari mini is my next move. Most likely with a Phiniac tank, new beauty ring and anodized tank caps. Inside I'll use a Diver RBA. But I want a kayfun lite too. I'm holding out as long as I can to see if Provari makes a 3.0 version that has both Varianle Voltage AND Variable Wattage. A man can dream.

From order to door at the place I used was 15 days (they're based in asia). Also, did you get the tobeco kayfun clone? I did quite a bit of reading and it seems like the tobeco one is the best of the clones. I love mine

It's not that it can't fit, it's that a good tube for diy isn't as accessible as the electronic project boxes you can buy from almost any place that does diy or electric parts.

I know many people prefer to avoid high tech stuff like the evic but I've had great luck with mine. I finally bought a 2nd one. I dropped the first so many times it has a crack in the control head, so that will be my emergency backup. I do plan on fixing with a little epoxy. I've thought about going mechanical + kick for the increased ruggedness, but I don't like the idea of having to unscrew stuff to tweak my wattage. Not having to take the battery out to charge it is nice, and you can vape while it's charging.
If you think the evic has a ton of features that you'll never use, that is true to an extent. Varying the wattage over the time of your draw seemed like a killer feature to me, but I've never really played with it all that much. But in theory it sounds good. Something like start at high wattage for initial warmth, cool it down a little for flavor, increase again to get a nice throat hit at the end...
I've avoided the whole rebuild-able atomizer thing. Maybe one day.

I'm enjoying a mixture of backwoods brews vanilla cupcake and blueberry at the moment. It's a combo that's grown on me and really begins to shine after it sits in a tank for 3-4 days. I was initially skeptical about the difference "steeping" actually makes but I am convinced now that it really improves the taste. At least in this flavor combination from backwoods brew.
Have you tried backwoods casablanca? If you want to see what a radical difference steeping can make, that's one juice you can try. It goes from tasting like jalapenos to chocolatey :) I've only bought it once, I'm actually due for a new 60ml, but I seem to recall it being quite spicy during the first week. I've read that it contains capsaicin. I didn't think it was all that great until about week 5. It's not one of my favorite vapes, but I enjoy it every once in a while.

Related: I have an AtmosRX that does not get much use anymore. I have a on/off relationship with nicotine. There is a local guy in Northwestern NJ that makes his own juice, store was called Terravapes (http://terravapes.com/) - I was a big fan of the geeky flavor.

It looks like an overpriced ego-c or ego-t targeted to hash oil and herb vapers. If you're looking to vape substance-free liquids, an mvp, itaste svd or itaste vv would be better for less money.

I always wondered about this thread.... find out it's all e-cigs, lol.
I would check out the Arizer Solo. But if you really want stealth the Pax is great and can't be beat-- especially when you consider all the e-pen vapes use combustion or are made for concentrates only.

I've tried a few pens, portable vapes and a few e-cig atomizers. So far my far and away favorite is the KISS Titanium cartridge by w9tech on top of any e-cig battery. Or if you would like a cheaper cartridge, I hear the Gentleman's Brand cartridges aren't bad.
On another note, I am new to variable voltage and wattage. Was wondering if a cartridge comes with a voltage rating, is that referring to the voltage at which you should vape it? I am using an itaste SVD that I just got.
Thanks!

Thug Juice is starting to grow on me although I still find it tastes like couch syrup. Cinnamon Roll tastes just like it sounds. Orange Dream Bar is supposed to be like an orange creamsicle but it's not all that creamy. Still a very orange Popsicle flavor to it tho. I haven't tried Blue Moo on its own but I decided to mix some in with the Orange Dream Bar in my protank (I like to mess with flavors) Undesirable result but not terrible. All juices are from Mt. Baker and all have 2 extra flavor shots. The protank 3 minis seem to work well although the drip tips could be a little more snug. They don't fall out or anything tho.

My favorite reviewers are Grim Green and Rip Trippers(even though he can get annoying). Both men, but I wouldn't say fat and ugly :P

I prefer igetcha69, vapingwithtwisted420 and Todd e-cig reviews. I don't have the patience to sit through Grimm's vlogs and rip is just annoying to me these days
I like twisted420 as well, he's got great enthusiasm.

how come they don't have a thing. where it squirts a little juice onto the coil with a button press. and this is all one box..
also, why the hell even have coils.. just have a small reservoir that heats up..
the more I think about it.. the more I think this is just designed for convenience in machining... rather than trying to make the best device possible.

There's the 3D, which is an "auto-dripper". A dripper style atomizer with a bottom reservoir. Push the top, it wicks more juice onto the deck.
There's also make "kraken" style atomizers, that is like the 3D, except the wicks just hang into the juice reservoir. However, I've heard they're prone to leaking
There's also certain box mods that have a 10ml bottom that does basically the same thing. You squeeze the bottle, juice flows up a tube into the atomizer's deck. I think they call them "fogger boxes" but I'm not 100%

The kraken is a Genesis style atomizer. They have a reservoir underneath the deck and the wicks extend down through the tank to soak up the juice and wick it to the coils. Downside to this design is they do indeed leak if left on their side too long.
An alternative to this design is rebuildable silica atomizers such as the squape and kayfun. They have a juice reservoir surrounding the build deck, which is housed inside of a chimney to the drip tip. The wicks are located at the ends of juice channels that allow juice to flow in from the reservoir. They don't have as good of flavor as genesis style atomizers in my opinion, but they don't typically leak.
There are also rebuildable cartomizer-style tanks that have the juice suspended in a kind of foam above the coil deck that wick automatically. The two main pioneers of that style are both from go, the heron and the spheroid. They're good at what they do, but require you to buy more foam periodically which is really only used in those two atomizers and a sparse couple others.
The most common style of bottom-fed atomizer mod like the one your taking about is the reo grand mod. It's essentially a mechanical mod with a dripper bottle inside like the_beast was saying. You squeeze on the bottle and juice flows through the 510 connection into the center post of the atomizer and gets wicked from there. Downside to the design is you're fairly limited on what kind of atomizers can actually take advantage of the design.
I spend quite a bit of time researching vaping devices these days, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Which autodripper do you consider the most functional and none leaky
the 3d looks good, but it seems to have very low capacity

Halverson lead me here a few night ago. It's a crowd source fund for an induction vape. No coils, no wick. It sounds very interesting. Check it out. Perhaps it's the future of e-ciggs?
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/evoke-the-first-smart-vaporizer-powered-by-induction
Pretty sure it still has a coil.. maybe the coil doesn't need to be replaced, but it still needs coils for induction..
hmmm... How is this different from what we have now... the coil heating vs the wick heating..
since it's a wick, and not a metal rod in regular inductive heaters, the wick will still need replacing after gunking up..
So.. overtime you're probably going to be replacing the same amount of material..
in the current gen stuff.. you replace the thin coil AND the wick..
in the new one.. you just replace the wick, which is probably the same size as the wick and coil in the old system.. and because it's porous.. it will still have hot spots..
The Control chip.. hmm... That could be implemented in the current coil /wick design as well, if it weren't for vapers demanding mod-ability which defeats the purpose of advanced regulation..
Overall I think if they're going to use a wick at all.. then this system isn't really improving anything
And that shape... idk... reminds me of Tv Remote.... hahaha... I don't like complex shape... but.. this is prob preference.

I have a kayfun clone, I like it, but the airflow is nothing like a dripper. The air flow is still better than a protank, but I like really airy draws (one of my drippers has a .200" hole single coil mode and a .150" holes for dual coil, most people who drill out mods only go to around .100" air holes). Plus, if you like high VG juices (like I do), they tend not to wick that well.

Now back on the train (and stopped smoking after ~7 years).
Current "gear":
X6 battery with an X8 cartomizer - Cant recommend the X8 tank at all
EVOD battery with a cheap plastic tank that came with the X6 (i only really use the EVOD for when my X6 is running low (which happends quite fast)

Alright guys I am still very new to this stuff. But tjcaustin sent me his old setup. It is a v-vid adjustable voltage battery and an iClear 30b and an iClear XI. Here is the problem. I have no issues with the XI, but the 30b doesn't want to work at all. Both coils I am guessing were brand new since both wicks on both setups were stark white. I cleaned everthing the best I could with paper towels and q-tips. I got it to work a couple times but then took the tank off without pulling the coil off the battery, filled it back up and put it back on. Now it won't hit again. The battery was fully charged this afternoon and has tons of battery life left.

I'm by no means a vaping expert. Are there any adjustments you can make on those tanks to provide a better contact to the battery? Maybe those moved/changed when you took the tanks off? Just a guess...

Luckily it wasn't too expensive but it's still a *****!!dude, I know that feeling all to well. also lost a protank. was riding a friends bike and his box had a small hole in it. fit perfectly in the hole. Its now somewhere on the highway in GA.
Just bought a Viggo copper mod. Love this thing. can finally build my subohms! Also vaping a mix of Mr.GoodVape moon sugar and Cuttwood Sugar Bear.

I also liked the idea of being able to vape at my desk, and possibly quitting cigarettes if I like vaping enough. The rebuildables and whole hobbyist side of it sounds awesome too, I could see myself getting into that.

Thanks for sharing your opinion! ;D My only fear is that this vape won't provide satisfying hits, but I'm really hoping it will. In the future I'd like to try a powerful vape rig that isn't very portable for at-home use, and have a smaller vape for out and about. My eGo and Nautilus will be here tomorrow!
I found a site local to my town (www.evaperated.com) that sells juices so I'm going to try them out (plus they give free samples with every order, free samples are great.. and next day shipping never hurts either :)) ). I've heard of a lot of problems shipping nic juices from the states to Canada, so I'm going to try domestic places first. I may try a small order from an American site to see if it gets through though!
Post by: YoungMichael88 on Tue, 04 November 2014, 04:13:47
I'm in Canada and I haven't had any problems getting nic juice to me from mount baker vapor. They also offer a little more customization with their juices for PG/VG mixes and they give you the option for extra flavor shots, which is awesome (I always get 2-3 extra shots in my 15ml bottles depending on what type of flavor I get). You can even get a bottle of up to 5 different flavors mixed into one if you want. You can select how many parts of each flavor you want in the mixture also. I did 3 parts French vanilla, 3 parts graham cracker, 1 part banana, 2 parts hazelnut and 1 part peanut butter just for fun. Very interesting flavor. You taste something different almost every time you try the flavor again. Mtbakervapor.comHey guys!

eGo-T Upgrade Battery - Titanium (650mah, 6-8 hours) - Manual]
Aspire Nautilus Mini Adjustable Airflow Tank System
And I also picked up a 5 pack of Nautilus replacement BVC coils, 1.6ohm.
Was this setup decent, or did I make a mistake? :d
sounds like a good start to me meow. don't forget to order some juice. goodlifevapor.com. mtbakervapor.com and seducejuice.com are all good starting points for high quality and inexpensive juices.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! ;D My only fear is that this vape won't provide satisfying hits, but I'm really hoping it will. In the future I'd like to try a powerful vape rig that isn't very portable for at-home use, and have a smaller vape for out and about. My eGo and Nautilus will be here tomorrow!
I found a site local to my town (www.evaperated.com) that sells juices so I'm going to try them out (plus they give free samples with every order, free samples are great.. and next day shipping never hurts either :)) ). I've heard of a lot of problems shipping nic juices from the states to Canada, so I'm going to try domestic places first. I may try a small order from an American site to see if it gets through though!

I'm in Canada and I haven't had any problems getting nic juice to me from mount baker vapor. They also offer a little more customization with their juices for PG/VG mixes and they give you the option for extra flavor shots, which is awesome (I always get 2-3 extra shots in my 15ml bottles depending on what type of flavor I get). You can even get a bottle of up to 5 different flavors mixed into one if you want. You can select how many parts of each flavor you want in the mixture also. I did 3 parts French vanilla, 3 parts graham cracker, 1 part banana, 2 parts hazelnut and 1 part peanut butter just for fun. Very interesting flavor. You taste something different almost every time you try the flavor again. Mtbakervapor.comHey guys! Brand new to vaping, but gained interest after browsing MassDrops vape section, and then reading this thread. I also liked the idea of being able to vape at my desk, and possibly quitting cigarettes if I like vaping enough. The rebuildables and whole hobbyist side of it sounds awesome too, I could see myself getting into that.
I ordered a beginner vape, it should be here next week. ;D

Ahh, okay sounds good. I will give them a try next time I order. :thumb:
I probably won't need to order for awhile though, as I have 7 10ml bottles of different juices. Just waiting on my vape to get hereee.. pretty excited for it.

U guys are not paranoid enough..
who makes most of these ecigs, OH ,, the Chinese..
WHY NOT put malware to create backdoors in something that's considered low tech and banal..
in fact--- most espionage solutions involve this initial step of close-to-skin sleeze..
Some Lithium ecigs actually have quite a big circuit board (for it's size) inside that the Communist Gov could easily slip some redirect into, and boooom... China hacks your workplace during your smoke charge...

I've been vaping for a year and a half now and have used a couple of mods but mostly, local ones(I'm from the philippines).
First one: Teletorpe body with Vivi Nova tank
Second: Launcher v2 with Nimbus atty
Third: Sioux with Immortalizer
Fourth: Cambio DNA30D with Immortalizer+(actually waiting for this might come this December)
Will edit with pics. Too lazy as of now to dig for them.

I think the Sigelli 100w is one of the better/reliable box mods out there. Stellar reviews so far, I just got a cloudpor and I wish I got the sigelli.

So I have an MVP 2.0 with an Iclear tank which is a bottom dual coil setup, what is the recommended position to keep it in overnight to prevent gurggling in the morning? I have mostly been using 50/50 but have tried 20/50 and still floods from time to time. Is this just a limitation of the setup?
Totally forgot I was gonna send you my starter kit, after I found it a few parts were missing for the tank so it didn't work.
I think those tanks are just prone to gurgling. This video helped me when I had one:
Holy crap is that 60 watts? O.O I was gonna say that I don't really like the idea of anything over 30 watts cause really I myself only use 26 watts at most but then here you are. Wow.
Haha, I usually vape at a lower wattage or use a mechanical mod, but I just got that regulated box so I was trying it out.

not sure what you are reading sir, but the sigelie 100w is total garbage and has awful reviews
sadly i have one
the issue is, it has a really nasty screw in pin to adjust to your rda, and the way they did the threads means it wiggles around a bit, so your ohms will fly up from like 0.4 to 2.2 to 1.8 to 0.1
just all over the place, giving it a really inconsistent and nasty vape
so if your rda doesnt have a super long 510 or a very good adjustable one its unusable, its works well on my plume veil and the tugboat v2 occasionally, but anything else is borderline dangerous, and i know tons of people with the same issue
for anyone looking for a good box mod, the new rdna40 vaporshark is great

Maybe I am thinking of a different box mod, but I see the sigelli come up everytime I search for my cloudpor.
I should of said its probably better than my cloudpor.

I tend to go for about .18 ohms for my coil, with a fresh charged battery, that's around 100w. It's perfect for me

Hmmm, that's interesting! The photos are slightly misleading. I don't have a drill for the hole of the 510, so I had to file it and it's far from perfect. And the paint, it's ok, but nothing great. And the lid, I tried doing a magnetic closing lid, also not working all that great, but it might be due to the rats nest inside it pushing it off.

A few recent buildslooks beautiful. Probably get some serious vapor production out of those coils?Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/z6yUlyI.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/WRJFRUh.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/XObigJX.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/omajzv1.jpg)

Why the clapton? Also do you use pure VG or something else?

its a very personal thing to be honest sir, could you give an idea of what strength liquid you use, and the flavour profiles you like

claptons have a lot more surface area giving more sites for atomization of the liquid. some cloud comps actually limit coils to twisted only etc excluding claptons from competing.
What Jay said. I wouldn't mind using my loose twisted but no one has taken me out for using my claptons yet. 24 with 30 wrap. I wanna try a staple build soon. I'm using 70/30 or 80/20. A friend of mine makes a lot of my juice.

Yea I just looked it up. Convenient for unlimited charge, but looks like most are weak and don't produce good vapor. This would also look ridiculous with a Kanger SubTank on the end of it.

Have any of you guys ever had a store employee say something to you for vaping in say WalMart or another chain department store like that? Here in Iowa, we have the Clean Air Act, which bans smoking in all public and government buildings. However, there vaping is still technically legal. Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with it.Got told to stop a few times in bars. Of all places.

So I started vaping about a month ago -- I have one of the starter kits from a store, it's a kangertech evod tank -- battery unknown but it's not very good.
I've been looking at a couple mods:
- BTC Pro -- http://www.smoktech.com/product_10047.html
- Sigelei 150 watt Box Mod -- http://101vape.com/variable-voltagewattage-devices/544-sigelei-150-watt-box-mod.html
- Some 26650 mechanical mod
I know absolutely nothing about coils and etc -- I know a little about the best batteries to buy (Sony VTC5 for example) -- My biggest concern is price and usability. I often go on the road for long periods of time and want to be able to build a kit as well as the necessary tools to get a good vape but still maintain simple usability while on the road. I don't know how long coils last, or how much time it takes to make the perfect one. I don't have much free time while on the road, and I can't afford to spend an hour every day messing with a mod unit. I'm not sure if these thoughts are going over the top -- but I always talk to pro vapers and they go into detail about their build and I get the assumption that it is something they spend a lot of time on. I will say that I've tried them and I like the heat and kick from them much better than my tank mods that I've tried.
Thoughts?
Edit: battery life is a big concern of mine too. I don't mind having a charger with me but want something that'll definitely last all day. I'll only step out to vape every once and a while, not constantly.

I generally only replace coils ever 2 weeks or so, if I change juice I'll just pull new cotton through my coils. Takes maybe 15 minutes top to make 2 new coils, pull cotton and get back to vaping. A 26650 battery should last you all day. When I don't vape alllll dayyyy an 18650 will last me all day. Aside from dripping, you shouldnt have to mess with your mod at all from day to day unless you need to re-tighten a screw or something but that literally takes seconds and will only be an issue if you drop your mod alot.

A couple of questions for you:
- Someone told me that they are able to "clean" their coils before replacing, is this true?
- What is a gold standard for the 26650 battery?
- Is it better to go with a 18650 or 26650? I hear 26650 will have more power than most 18650s but not necessarily more battery life
- What do you think of unregulated mods? I have my eye on one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unregulated-Box-Mod-Dual-26650-Parallel-Mosfet-Protected-/111605558674?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fc35ad92 -- (I don't know what a mosfet would be for in terms of vaping)
- What is good to look for in a mod? Is a clone necessarily a bad thing? I see they are much cheaper.
- What do you look for in a RDA? I'm looking at this vulcan one, I like the fact that doesn't require any tools to replace the coils, merely screw and done -- http://www.vapordna.com/Vulcan-RDA-Rebuildable-Atomizer-p/vn0001.htm
- Safety and travelling. I travel a lot so I assume the safest bet is to remove the batteries from the boxmod/regular mod so the trigger doesn't fire when it is in my bag. I haven't had a problem with this for my small unit because it has the five clicks
- What do you look for in making a coil, how much does resistance come into play? Do I want to get an ohm meter? -- I've seen a lot of the rip trippers and crazy coils that they make, not sure if I want/need something this complicated but don't mind making a couple in bulk and bringing them with me in little bubble wrap bags
I REALLY appreciate your input man thanks.

As to coil cleaning, i think it depends on what tank are you using; I could be wrong about this though. Generally, I've only seen kayfun users (myself included) doing this. You can just wash the gunk away that's on the coil.
if the mod that you're about to buy has a locking mechanism (so far I've only seen this existed on stick type mechanical mods and on digital mods) then i think it's pretty safe to just lock it so that there won't be any accidental triggers.
I'm not that experienced to answer all the other questions :<

All good man always here to help. Concerning your other questions....
1. Yes you can technically "clean" your coils by removing the cotton and just pulsing the bare coils a few times while blowing all of the build up off of them. If you are running a hot setup and there is still juice all over the RDA it may scorch the juice and your first few hits of new cotton will taste like crap. Kanthal is so cheap I usually just re-build when it gets to this point.
2. In general I stick with either Sony or MXJO batteries. I've heard good thing about the newer E-Fest stuff too.
3. This is more preference. And generally 26650 batteries will give you more capacity. They generally have a higher amperage rating but that doesn't really mean you'll ever need it unless you're going super super low sub ohm build. But the same coils on an 18650 vs 26650 the 26650 battery is going to stay in the preferred voltage range longer.
4. I've never used a regulated box mod. My experience are with regular mech mods and DNA30 Devices. Lately more people have been making the move to box mods and I don't really get the hype.
5. I just look for mods that i find pleasing to the eye with good construction. Obviously mod material, pin material (if its not hybrid) and switch design play into this. I like recessed switches. I generally like mods that are of a single tube design but lately I really want a copper 4nine mod. And starting out, clones aren't bad. Most of us started out there.
6. I look for RDA's with good build space, deep juice well and once again pleasing on the eyes. My brass monkey isn't the hottest thing out but i like the split center post, makes building with twisted or larger gauge kanthal easier. I also have a TOBH and Stillare and enjoy both of them. You want to find something with good airflow, quality construction and silver or gold contacts/screws if you can. Pretty much all RDA's will only require you carry a small screw driver.
7. Take the battery out. I've had mods fire in my pocket because of a loose switch before and its not fun. A) you'll burn the **** out of your hand and b) if you are on a plane then all that smoke and the horrible smell will probably get you in trouble. Getting through security is easy these days though, most TSA employees know what it is. When I first started vaping I had a few mods checked out though.
8. I make very simple coils. I use 24G kanthal and do a 6/7 twist. I usually like to stay between .3-.5 ohms. I've never used an ohm meter but i'd advise to get one for safety reasons although most batteries have a high enough amperage rating that you're not going to pop one. I've tried crazy coils and twisted kanthal but for every day vaping its not needed. Build a little travel kit with cotton bacon, a roll of kanthal, small screw driver, ceramic tipped pliers and a small little angle cutter for building on the go.

That doesn't sound too bad at all actually.As far as your first question goes, it's been answered already but I believe it's called a "dry burn". Burns the crap off the coil and you can get maybe a few more days out of it. Longer depending on how often/how to use it.

- Someone told me that they are able to "clean" their coils before replacing, is this true?

Hrrmm that's disappointing about the Atlantis, looks like I'll have to go with the Kanger Subtank Mini for my next clearo. After a couple of days using my EMOW I'm still happy with it but I need something with a longer lasting battery and more adjustability, the voltage settings on the EMOW aren't very versatile and I'm finding I need to recharge towards the end of the day/evening.

- BEC Pro 50W (bluetooth too) -- http://www.smoktech.com/product_10047.html
- Aspire Atlantis -- http://www.aspirecig.com/products/Atlantis/atlantis183.html
Excellent flavor, huge clouds and hits like a truck.
Edit: uhoh, looks like bad news for the aspire atlantis -- http://forum.aspirecig.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=16958
Ugh.
Hrrmm that's disappointing about the Atlantis, looks like I'll have to go with the Kanger Subtank Mini for my next clearo. After a couple of days using my EMOW I'm still happy with it but I need something with a longer lasting battery and more adjustability, the voltage settings on the EMOW aren't very versatile and I'm finding I need to recharge towards the end of the day/evening.
If you read further, aspire states that all their premade coils will be organic cotton only from now on...

Ah cool, might have to weigh up my options. The Subtank Mini's look pretty nice for the included RBA, no doubt I'm going to want to go down that path eventually anyway :P
Looking around at variable wattage box mods - any recommendations? I'm looking at the Sigelei 30W Mini as my first preference at the moment, the Eleaf 30/50W looks good at as well for the price but they look so damned tacky.

I only use sigelei at home and istick 30w for going out because of the size, good size to slip in to the pocket. The 30w will last me roughly 4-5ml of liquid @ 20-25 watt before died on me.
I think if money not an issue getting the istick 50w would be a better choice, it's only a little bit bigger than the 30's but last longer, twice or even more than the 30's.

Been using my sigelei 150w and kanger subtank mini for a week now, the mini outperformed atlantis in flavour, now my atlantis get back in the box.

Yeah I was tempted by the Sigelei 100W but decided to stay on the cheap end with the iStick because I'll probably want to DIY a variable wattage box at some point in the future so I'll save the cash. Can't resist another chance to make something one of a kind, it's as bad as keyboards I tell you!

Damn man, beautiful work. The internals are probably the cleanest I've ever seen on a DIY box! Is that a circuit you came up with yourself to regulate the wattage or a prebuilt one? Interested in the button/screen shroud too, is that 3D printed?

I designed it and built a few. Custom PCBs from OSH Park, mostly SMT parts. 3D printed bezel/button caps from Shapeways. I got lazy and used an Arduino Pro Mini, which controls a Raptor 20A regulator via a digital potentiometer, and a hall effect current sensor to measure current and allow variable wattage. It can do 120W but I mostly vape 40W on a TOBH with Chuff top cap.

Awesome man, thanks for the info!
My Kanger Subtank Nano and iStick 50W both arrived today, big shout outs to VapourEyes and WickAndWire for excellent service and really quick shipping. W&W were nice enough to throw in some free juice with my iStick too!
Haven't tried the tank yet but I'm loving the iStick, made my EMOW tank vape so much better so I'm expecting good things when I throw the Subtank on. Outstanding battery life too, I've been hitting it all day at about 15w and the battery has barely moved.

Hey all, Have any of you guys considered making your own e-liquid. I started making my own a few months ago and it has saved my tons of money. Its also always fun acting like I'm a chemist mixing the PG, VG and nicotine. If you guys have I'd like to know who your turned out and what distributors you go to.

Wow, 2 gallons of juice would take me MONTHS to go through. And I am hoping to be done with my vape in a month of so. I started about 9 months ago as a cigg replacement/quitting tool. Only had a couple since then and only because I either forgot my vape at home, or battery died at work and it was on the charger.

Yes I understand, but it'd be difficult to determine old stock when purchasing replacement cartridges... So who the hell knows what you're buying from who (at least for a reasonable duration until it could be safely assumed that all of the old stock was out).
I'm rethinking my interest in the 26650 mod and leaning back to the dual 18650... Back to the drawing board.

The items you are guaranteed
* A mechanical mod and corresponding battery (or, if you are lucky, a MVP 3.0 Box Mod)
* An RDA/RBA atomizer
*60 ml of premium Cloud Sauce or SubJuice max VG e-liquid (All liquids are 3mg only)
Total minimum retail value $75
My Friends and I ordered 6 one for everyone. We all grabbed a random package and opened it up. Mine was an MVP 3.0 with a dark horse rba. With SubJuice e-liquid. I got an awesome deal worth way more than the $40. BUT the major issue my friends had they all got a mech mod and two of them did not get the corresponding 1850 battery. So they are **** out of luck there. If you have the supplies like batteries and kethal wire and wicks, I'd say GO for it.

The mini-RBA is pretty neat, I've never tried making a coil before so I've now had the opportunity. Seems like something that could be cool to get into more seriously later on.
Anyone else have the Subtank, or an Atlantis?
I went with the Subtank over the Atlantis because of the rebuildable coils, and the bigger liquid capacity.
Post by: lookitdisnub on Thu, 07 May 2015, 01:32:48
So I just picked up the Kanger Subtank Mini a couple days ago, and it's been really great. Definitely a nice upgrade to my Aspire Nautilus I was using before. Works great with my MVP 3.0.

Subtank mini was my first good tank. I liked the OCC coils a lot but the RBA section didn't have great juice channels so I would get dry hits from chain vaping. I've since gotten a Youde Goliath and that's my go to tank for on the road.

Whenever I'm not making eliquids myself I usually get my juices from WeVapor (http://wevapor.com (http://wevapor.com)) but it is important to note that you shouldnt use these liquids in a dripper... but in a tank they are great. I have tried them in a dripper and it is simply to overwhelming.
Anyways I would also love to hear where some of you get your DIY supplies from bc I'm looking to switch up my supplier :cool:

I've been vaping for a few months now, switching over from cigarettes. (I was smoking for 2 years prior to switching, so I'm nicotine dependent.) I got a Kangertech E-Vod, and it's worked well, the original coil is still going strong. My current bottle that I'm vaping is called Melon Drop, with 24 milligrams of nicotine. However, the tank for it just cracked, and I was looking for some recommendations for a replacement that can fit in a ~$20 budget.
For something like a e-vod I would go with a protank mini2, or mini3.

Are there any serious concerns or health risks in vaping? Google has some listed but I'm curious if any of you guys are actually worried about anything. I also read up on the news that some vapes actually explode which is kind of scary but perhaps that is only if you get the cheap kind (Same as cheap keyboards dying or crappy switches failing early)?
im weary of technology, but as a smoker already i couldnt find anything but positive advice to switching. Less toxins and controlling nicotine levels gradually until you hit 0mg. Im very impressed and hopeful that this will end smoking cigs in this generation. With that said i cant really speak on non smokers to start vaping. I dont see the point unless you are already addicted to nicotine and trying an alternative or using it to quit.

Just found this thread and digging in for some reading. I am looking to quit smoking and really need to find an alternative . I have some friends that use these for a couple of different applications but I figure I would read up before dropping some money on one as they can get expensive. I have tried gum,patches, medication and even bought one of those cheap ass blu e cigs but never really used it...... Any recommendations would be helpful
Vaping has been the only method that has helped me quit smoking as well. My mother also used vaping to quit smoking, and hasn't smoked a cigarette in two years now. She just recently switched to 0mg liquid too.
I can recommend the Kanger Subtank Mini and the iTaste MVP 3 as a really nice combo. Or if you want something cheaper and smaller, I really liked my Aspire Nautilus Mini. Not sure on a battery to recommend for the Nautilus, I had a Joyetech E-go, and it was so-so with that tank. Not quite enough power as I would have liked.
The MVP 3 has been a great battery for me, the charge lasts forever and it gives the Subtank the power it needs. It also comes in handy for charging my phone and things via USB.
The Subtank Mini.. is just amazing. Great, reliable tank that's easy to take apart. Great flavour and vapour production! Also the rebuildable coil base is pretty neat too.
Good luck quitting Sed8! Vaping has been one of the best investments I've made in recent memory, I really enjoy it.. and it's so much easier on the wallet than cigarettes (which means more keyboards! :)) ), not to mention that I feel way healthier.

No problem! If you get a Subtank or Nautilus Mini, I think you'll be impressed with vaping. I've tried Blu e-cigs and other crappy ones like that, and they did nothing at all for me.
After the Subtank, you could dive into custom rebuildables, but I haven't gone that far yet. So far I'm enjoying the simplicity of filling a tank and vaping away.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me and I'll help you out if I can.
No problem on the SSK, I'm glad to help! :) I love mine too, it's freaking amazing to type on. Definitely my favourite board.

If you want a box full of old style/gen tanks (kanger aerotanks/aspire nautilus) and mods (mvp v2/vtr), I have my old set up just sitting around doing nothing. It'll need coils and juice, but I'll even throw an 18650 in for the vtr. Let me know and I'll at least loan it to you until you know if vaping is for you.

How's the tugboat with that subtank?
I've got a new ipv3 li for temp control that I'm really liking and I think the battery in my istick is dying so I'm debating shopping for a new internal battery mod.hells ya meow I will check those out ! Thanks for coming through for me 8) also my SSK is now one of my favorite boards thanks for your help with that 8)Just found this thread and digging in for some reading. I am looking to quit smoking and really need to find an alternative . I have some friends that use these for a couple of different applications but I figure I would read up before dropping some money on one as they can get expensive. I have tried gum,patches, medication and even bought one of those cheap ass blu e cigs but never really used it...... Any recommendations would be helpful
Vaping has been the only method that has helped me quit smoking as well. My mother also used vaping to quit smoking, and hasn't smoked a cigarette in two years now. She just recently switched to 0mg liquid too.
I can recommend the Kanger Subtank Mini and the iTaste MVP 3 as a really nice combo. Or if you want something cheaper and smaller, I really liked my Aspire Nautilus Mini. Not sure on a battery to recommend for the Nautilus, I had a Joyetech E-go, and it was so-so with that tank. Not quite enough power as I would have liked.
The MVP 3 has been a great battery for me, the charge lasts forever and it gives the Subtank the power it needs. It also comes in handy for charging my phone and things via USB.
The Subtank Mini.. is just amazing. Great, reliable tank that's easy to take apart. Great flavour and vapour production! Also the rebuildable coil base is pretty neat too.
Good luck quitting Sed8! Vaping has been one of the best investments I've made in recent memory, I really enjoy it.. and it's so much easier on the wallet than cigarettes (which means more keyboards! :)) ), not to mention that I feel way healthier.
If you want a box full of old style/gen tanks (kanger aerotanks/aspire nautilus) and mods (mvp v2/vtr), I have my old set up just sitting around doing nothing. It'll need coils and juice, but I'll even throw an 18650 in for the vtr. Let me know and I'll at least loan it to you until you know if vaping is for you.
It's dope! But sadly since it's my only vape right now I have no frame of reference. But it holds a crazy long charge and the sub tank mini lasts forever :D. Perfect for at home heavy use, only downside is it's not very portable.

I might have people disagree with me on this, but my theory on the matter is that vaping is better for you than smoking, but not better than not intaking nicotine at all. I have vaped for about 6 years now, and it has been a great departure from cigarettes, but I do not consider myself to have "quit". I still intake nicotine and still tend to rely on it as a crutch that is largely unnecessary. But as smokers, we are addicted, so its not so simple as replacing one form with another. I do vape the lowest strength juice I can buy, but I still use. So it is great if you want to stop smoking cigarettes, smelling like ass and being a social stigma, but for "quitting" its not the best way. IMO.
I recently read the first half of a book by allen carr, called allen carr's easy way to stop smoking:
http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Easy-Stop-Smoking/dp/0615482155/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436732295&sr=8-1&keywords=quit+smoking+the+easy+way
And after I read just half, I quit vaping and smoking for about 2 months, but I never finished the book. And the book even tells you not to stop smoking until you finish reading it, so I just did it wrong. I have 2 friends who read the book and have both been smoke free for over a year just by reading the book and basically cold turkeying it.
Another draw that vaping has to people like us, which I know you are because you are here on a mechanical keyboard forum, is that it is a wildly fun and expensive hobby. There are great communities of vapers around and making friends with your local vape shop is a really fun way to learn about the new new vapes on the market. And with hundreds of juice makers selling nationwide you can never get bored of flavors. So vaping is a lot like keyboards, you can read, research, test and buy everything to your hearts content and have really nice mod. And I can tell, that if you start, you will do it right.
That being said, and me being back on the ecig again. I bought a cheap setup from fasttech this week to test out a few different mods that I haven't tried before. Got a "Pirate Flag" RDA and a simple 22mm tube mod, and a nemisis clone and combo with the clone of the nemisis RDA. (Fasttech is cheap because all their stuff is reproductions of nice mods, but its a good way to see if you like how stuff functions. So I spent 60$ on 2 full setups that I will test and if I like, will buy the real versions.
I currently vape a Just GG with an Omega RDA that I have had for years, and at some point decided it was good enough and that I didn't want to spend more money on vaping... it lasted for a little while anyway.....

Started vaping in December and, although I still smoke the occasional cig, I haven't gone back.
Started with an Eleaf iJust with Asipire Nautilus tanks. Used that for a few months but I really wanted to get an RDA so I picked up a Mutation X Mod and Swirlfish RDA on vapordna.com.
Here's a shot of it after I got a Lemo 2 (which I rarely use). Since this, I've gotten a Royal Hunter RDA and absolutely love it!
(http://i.imgur.com/JgAUl5X.jpg)
Also, made this a while back to hold my tanks that aren't currently being used.
(http://i.imgur.com/yHOuEPI.jpg)
Also, after using a lot of "premium" juices I found http://mechsauce.com/ (http://mechsauce.com/). Prices are what made me at least try some, and I have to say, quality and flavor are as good as any of the so called premium brands.

Yeah and I'm the other way around. I'll probably end up with two temp control mods once innokin releases the one that will temp control anything (ni200, nichrome, titanium or kanthal). I may just get the new istick that does temp control though, too.

Built my own box mod recently. Variable voltage with dual 18650s, regulated with a Raptor 10A chip and it has reverse polarity protection with resettable 10A fuses. All of the smaller electronics are mounted on a small PCB ( https://oshpark.com/profiles/Iron_Lung_Electronic_Design ). Rest of the components I sourced from Mouser (except of the digital voltage meter and magnets - got those from Amazon). Used a Fat Daddy V4 510 connector and I am running a Subtank Mini currently.

Could you guys recommend something that an older guy could use with ease and that a pack a day smoker would enjoy? Money is not a big issue, but I'd prefer it to be reasonable considering this is just an experiment.
I'm not really sure about everything you even need to start vaping either, so I might need a quick link/summary of that to understand.
Is it as good as a cigarette, to you guys that used to smoke a lot? Are any health claims true?

I don't smoke myself, but could you guys maybe give me some recommendations? I'd like to give my father an alternative from smoking.

I'm probably not nearly qualified enough to start making recommendations on hardware, but I've been vaping for around 2 years now. Right now I'm running a Innokin MVP2 with a Kanger Protank 3. I've just ordered the Kanger Subox starter, expecting that next week.
I was a smoker for about 6 years prior to vaping, and I was about a pack-a-day man. As a smoker, I was fond of cigarettes that hit hard and were very strong. My smoke of choice was Lucky Strikes. I find that vaping is even better than smoking. Even the basic kits (with the right liquid) can hit harder than a cigarette. Smokers who have tried my vaporizer often remark that it's a lot stronger throat hit than their cigarettes.
The sub ohm kits seem to be where it's at today. They've got easy levels of adjustability, everything is pretty modular. You'll have your mod - this will contain your battery and electronics, and you'll have a tank. The tank will have a removable atomizer in it. The atomizer is what actually vaporizes the liquid. In terms of usage, he'll just need to be sure the mod is charged (if it has onboard charging, if not, he'll just need to pull the battery(ies) and put them in a charger), he'll need to fill the tank with liquid as it runs low, and he'll need to change the atomizer as needed.
I don't think it'll be a good idea to get an older guy on a rebuildable deck, unless he's the kind of guy that enjoys the feeling of tinkering and doing everything himself.
I'm sure that others can weight in and give good options, but I'm pretty excited about my Subox that's coming this week, and I'm very happy with my MVP + Protank.
As far as being better than a cigarette - I certainly enjoy vaping a lot more. I get to vape all day, every day. I can use it indoors without stinking the joint up. I don't stink - so that's a huge plus. I also love the wealth of options for flavoring. If you can think of it, a flavor exists for it. I regularly switch between a Chai Tea flavor, a Fruity Pebbles flavor, and a Monster Energy flavor - it's fantastic!

Never, maybe when you change juice flavors and none of these things are growing in e-juice. Not only because of what's in the juice itself, but the temperatures at which the juice vaporizes.

You're really not going to get bacteria growing in your vape. It's simply too hot. However, whenever I rebuild my RDA (usually once per week) I run everything under scalding hot tap water and that's enough to clean of the drip tip and any other residue on the deck.
Post by: absyrd on Sat, 25 July 2015, 08:34:30
I'd probably alcohol all the parts I could on a daily basis.

Didn't know it got that hot. Scalding hot tap water is technically dirty, though. :p
I'd probably alcohol all the parts I could on a daily basis.
Not really concerned about sanitizing it, just removing the residue before I rebuild.
To do that every day is a bit much. You'll probably have to rebuild your coils every time and that's just going to get annoying to do every day.

Either way I got an iStick 30w from Eleaf along with a Melo tank from them as well. I am pretty sure it is a glass tank. The device reads the current coil in at 0.7 ohms, it is replaceable not rebuildable. The also have a buy one get one for a penny on juice from a random assortment of stuff in a tub. I picked up a bottle of blackberry, and a double mint. They are house blends. But I have those mixed right now about half and half and it is pretty decent though the mint flavor is a bit strong.
Currently using it at 17 watts, but it hits TONS harder than that MVP 2.0 with 2.1 ohm coils. The tank I had on that was the iClear x1 pyrex tank that has a dual coil setup. The first time I walked into this shop, they had a little taste test thing setup with a bunch of tanks of juice. I tried one and really like it. Bought it and came home, put a new coil in and filled the tank. Even a couple days later, I wasn't getting anywhere close to the same amount of flavor that I was in the shop. So, I was looking to get a new setup anyway. So far this one is working great. Much smaller and hits like a Mack truck.

Too bad I didn't know that. I'd have split these tanks I'm sending to eppc with you. Also, it's time to graduate from pull ups into big boy clothes and get into subohming. Look at the subbox mini or evic vt if you want easy kits.

Do I spy some clapton wire in there?
How do you like it
Overrated,
Thing was a PITA to make and I hate that I have to wait 1-2 seconds for it to heat up. 32 over 26, great flavor but I won't make another ever again.
Twisted 26 sleeper coil is still the best I have ever used. Crazy flavor and throws vapor down your throat

Do I spy some clapton wire in there?
How do you like it
I wrapped my first clapton the other day, fairly simple but it's a pain in the ass. I typically use a single coil btw. The vapor production was crazy and the coil holds heat for a while so there's less of a vapor production delay. Also pretty dense fairly warm vapor and real solid flavor.
Also I bought a teal 454 Big Block the other day.

As far as online stores, who is the "Jelly Belly" of juice?
Edit: Just want to point out, I am not looking for stupid sweet, but I do prefer fruit flavors. I just want accurate flavors. Well within reason.

That should be sick. I'm excited to try some weird vertical builds and maybe quad coil stuff.

I'll probably buy some of that. I also really like king of clouds juices which I get for a pretty good price back home because I know the vape shop guys.

I'm about to buy a spool of premade clapton to try. Price is good so why not.
My only issue with the mutation is the coils sit right over the bottom air flow so it leaks super easy.
Hopefully, pic soon of the build I'm about to start.

Digging the wells on that atty, using the tugboat and dark horse currently and my wicks tend to flair out and trap liquid. Part of the reason why the mutation caught my eye. Nice set up man, bunnylake got me using 22 for dual wraps and I love it.

When I was into super sub ohming I built a .08 using a 22 gauge twisted sleeper build. I loved it but 4 or 5 hits would drain a 2500mah battery and you had to make sure to keep it cool.

Off topic many apologizes, but I fixed the bottom of the vandals to have the squared bottoms of the KWK blanks. Also there will be no more package art, each package will contain a priority mail sticker with art on it so the pesky USPS guys will stop putting stickers over it. Plus you can stick it anywhere and don't have to keep the bubble mailer :P

I will gladly pay shipping or if someone has an oldie but goodie that they don't use anymore and would either let me try it out or sell it to me.

Check out your local vape shops and stuff, but a good kit that you can start out with to try and grow into is the evic mini. You'll need to buy an 18650 battery for it, but you can also get it in tiffany blue and it comes with a tank and coils, so all you'd need besides is a bottle of juice.

That's a good place to start depending on what you want.
When I started vaping I knew I'd want to build my own coils and super sub ohm which at the time would've been hard on a regulated box so I started with a mutation v2 and a paragon midnight clone (mod that I thought looked cool). But at this point boxes basically do it all so for starting out you should just go with that.

Bonus of the evic mini, it has a bypass/mech mode as well as regulated and ti/ni temp control. And even low power regulated is fine, so long as you aren't building too much under .4

I've been free of cigs for two years now but my roomie got me into vaping and I'm really enjoying the (mostly) guilt-free clouds - so tasty! eVic VT w/Thump Atty & 2puffs derlin drip tip + B-X Vapor sauce (frigging love Melonlyptus). Current setup is just a plain 2 coil build @ 0.26Ω, 40-55W depending on sauce but I'm really eyeballing the Cloudmaker Tech Whiteout DNA200 (https://cloudmakertech.com/shop/) for an upgrade when that comes out. BTW if anyone hasn't yet heard of the Scottish Roll (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf-V0H4DnFo) method of wicking, I highly recommend it! PunksDead, I saw you on /r/electronic_cigarette and realized I needed to find the Geekhack vape thread :))Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/YzO1vC5.jpg)
I'm thinking about either the litt 44 or militia mods dna200. I want more battery than the cloudmaker offers right now, but it's an interesting idea for a box.

How are you guys liking temp controlled mods vs standard VV and VW?
I wasn't blown away with 28g nickel builds. I don't like that I can't dry fire and test the coils prior to wicking. I'll revisit when I get some 24g and 26g.
Nichrome 80 is the way to go IMO, just built some 24g kanthal 32g nichrome 80 claptons... And it's nice, the nichrome heats up quickly and it's a nice warm vape.

You can fire nickel on vw/vv mode to finish coil prep, but honestly, neither titanium or nickel are great for dripping. Of the two, I prefer Ti in premade coils, but above them both for premade and diy is 302 stainless. More durable for building, none of the safety concerns and cheap as eff.
That all said, I still prefer the warmth `I get from vv/vw vs temp control.

So I have identified I like sweet tobacco flavors for all day use and dig creamier juices after work as kind of a treat. I have been using Revolutions broadway as my all day vape and really like it. Its a tobacco flavored 8mg nic 70\30 blend I think and is a caramel vanilla tobacco very smooth however I have been trying to find other tobacco flavors and wondering what other people use.
For my after work juice I had been using unicorn milk from cuttwpod I think but I was recommended milkman and another one mothers milk however they are a bit pricy.
I'm trying to find some good juices in some giant econo bottled like mount baker does (260ml or something crazy like that)but my first experience with them hasn't been a great one. My first shipment is almost 10 days late.
Does anyone have any other companies or brand's they like that sell in bulk ?

So I'm still a bit of a newb when it comes to vaping but I've identified some juices that I like and have a set up that works pretty well for me. I haven't gotten into the rda's really yet. I started with an ego one. Then my buddy sent me a subox mini right after I purchSed a evic mini (ughh I know joyetech much 8(...) I use the ego for when I'm at work and the evic mini when im at home. I have been using .05 atomizer prefurbs as I stated before I haven't started tinkering too much but I'm really enjoying it. I see pd and a few other people here use a sieg 150w which might be my next purchase but on to the juice !!

I can't help you in regards to selling in bulk but here are two juices that Bunny and I both dig. I turned him on to one and he introduced me to the other. White E. Octupus Bavarian Cream (http://www.wittyoctopusvapors.com/product/bavarian-cream/) and Epiclouds Doughnut Pounder (http://namberjuice.com/epiclouds/doughnutpounderec.html). Dunno if you've tried either but they pretty nom nom tasty.

I stopped vaping but I want this so bad. Damn it, Punks. @___@Does anyone have any other companies or brand's they like that sell in bulk ?
I can't help you in regards to selling in bulk but here are two juices that Bunny and I both dig. I turned him on to one and he introduced me to the other. White E. Octupus Bavarian Cream (http://www.wittyoctopusvapors.com/product/bavarian-cream/) and Epiclouds Doughnut Pounder (http://namberjuice.com/epiclouds/doughnutpounderec.html). Dunno if you've tried either but they pretty nom nom tasty.

The evic mini is a hecka nice, better than the subox in my mind. I wouldn't worry too much about RBAs and **** either. The slightly better experience isn't worth the hassle in my mind.

Look into gravity vapes, charmed vapors, infinity vapors (through uvapez.com), three dukes and moose juice.

Anyone know any interesting vertical coils? I feel like rebuilding my 454 today.Show Image(http://imgur.com/UElDziF.jpg)
Wrap 22g 6 times and bend it over from the middle .2-.18 for dual coil. Love this build PITA to wick
Holy crap these coils chuck! I only did single coil but it's a pretty warm dense vape. By single I mean only one sided so 2 coils I guess?
Post by: Sed8op8 on Sun, 11 October 2015, 19:44:31
There is so much to learn and experiment with its a little mind boggling even a couple weeks into it now. I am probably going to have to upgrade my build now as the evic mini sounds like it might struggle with the crown depending on which coils i use.
Sorry I am a bit scattered but like I said still learning and haven't been so excited about a hobby since well keyboards :))

Just ordered a uwell crown.... It has an RBA add on in case I want to get into that so I'm pretty damn excited for it to get here. Can someone explain to me the benefit of wrapping your own coils. From what I can tell its cheaper and you can customize it with materials you prefer and adjust your build to produce more vapor or flavor. For example the pre fabbed joyetech .5 ohm coils feel like they only last about a week of steady vaping before flavor and everything else goes to ****. I have been reading the prefabbed ones in the crown can last up to a month :eek: however they are stainless steel and that sounds well for lack of better words unhealthy.Coil Master V3. (http://www.amazon.com/Coil-Master-Black-Authenticity-Scratch/dp/B00YTB0KK6) They're like $22 and it makes wrapping your own coils stupid simple and you will save so much money vs buying prebuilt. and you can wick your own organic cotton (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AF3L5E2) instead of using whatever that rayon blend stuff in the pre-builts is. Jigs range from 1.5mm to 4mm so you can makes coils to fit whatever.

I use an eVic VT (60W) (http://www.joyetech.com/product/evic-vt/) and it handles my RDAs just fine. I just recently got one of those Velocity clones from Slowttech and I'm loving it - although it goes through eJuice like mad, so I gotta make sure I put it down once in a while (blew through a 30Ml bottle in 3 days, good grief). Pro-tip on the Velocity, spend extra, get the 1:1 clone by Tobecco; phillips head screws suck at staying put.

1. the stainless in the crown is food grade, so it's probably the healthiest thing you coil use to combust liquid. Also, I'm a big fan of the crown, probably my fav tank overall, but I have 4 of the tfv4, so I don't use it full time. I would be unsurprised if each coil last a month or more with normal use.
2. even pre-man coils are using OCC nowadays. I can't think of a modern subtank that doesn't use an OCC stuffed coil, honestly.
3. Yes, it's still cheaper to wrap your own coils (esp if you pick up a spool of food grade stainless on amazon), but the downside for the little rba decks in any of the subtanks is it limits your building options because of the deck size.
I really like my tobecco velocity, but I really dislike dripping juice every 3 - 6 toots, so I'm thinking about just going back to tanks only.

So the uwell should work well with the evic ? Thats good to hear I'm a bit short on funds so I can't afford to really make any mistakes in my vaping fund. Its not uncommon for me to rip 2/3 to 1 15ml bottle on days off from work haha
It should work just fine. I run around 100w on mine, but I like a extremely warm/hot vape compared to most.

So i just discovered this thread after talking with hoz about vaping. I was a long time smoker who has tried to stop cold turkey, but even months later i still get massive craving and what i can only describe as withdrawal headaches. So i thought instead of going back to cigarettes, i would give vaping a try. My biggest problem, im not sure where to start, or even honestly how it works.I started with a joytech ego one which is a own style (tube shaped) and even though it has a sub ohm battery (powerful ) I regretted it. I now use my evic mini and the subox mini mostly. I recommend going to one of the vaping websites and reading up on beginning vaping it really helped me as well as some members here. Between the juices and different kits tanks boxes and mods it can be overwhelming I can't express how glad I was that i took the time to read up and ask for advice

Nothing wrong with that. I've somehow converted 6 people so far, and all but one went with a Subox Mini as their first kit (and they love it!). The OCC coils make it real easy for beginners, and as long as you're buying a proper battery, you shouldn't have any issues.

So I bought the eVic VT starter kit and a Kangertech Subox mini tank, along with Cosmic Fog "Milk & Honey", Mr Good Vape "Bahama Mama" and Beard Vape Co "# 88".
So to start I loaded up the eGo ONE Mega tank, that the starter kit comes with, with the "Milk & Honey". I let it soak in for a minute or two, and then went in for my first hit/puff/rip/draw. Sweet on the inhale and creamy on the exhale, it was smooth and I was able to take a nice long draw on my first try. I used this for most of the day and it was great, the 6mg nicotine level seemed perfect, not too much that i couldn't take a few hits continually and not too little that i felt like i had to hit it 10 times just to feel satisfied.
So far i love that combo.
My weird issue comes when I got home that night. I wanted to try the Subox, so i opened it up and filled it with the "bahama mama", then screwed it on the eVic and told it that it was a new atomizer. i went to take the first puff and it was STRONG, very very thick and i immediately started coughing. It was way too thick and 'hot'? if i had to explain it. Messing around with my box i turned the power WAY down to around 15w and it seems better but still seems much harsher than the eGo set on 30w & 350F. Any tips on what i may be doing wrong?
But so far, I'm very very happy with my purchase :thumb:

Do you have the nickel coil inside the Subtank? If so, you have to lock in the resistance. With temperature control it is vital to lock in the resistance when screwing on a new atomizer (whether it be rebuildable or a new coil head for a tank) or else the resistance will jump and overshoot on temperature and wattage. If you don't have the nickel coil inside the Subtank and it is the 0.5 ohm coil, you must switch to power mode and set it to the desired wattage (ideally 25-30 watts...anymore would either give you a burn hit from the start or burn out the coil faster).

It originally had the .5ohm on it out of the box. Locking the resistance didnt seem to change much and after more then a half a second of holding the 'fire' button it would auto-switch to power control mode. I tried switching over to the 1.5ohm coil that comes in the box, and it seems to be the same thing. Way to strong with resistance locked and auto-switching to power control mode after more than half a second. It also seems to be making a hissing & popping sound when hitting the fire button.
I feel like im just missing something.

edit: or maybe I'm thinking of a different device but I'm positive that the VT has an issue where it keeps switching you out of temp mode.
Post by: tjcaustin on Sun, 18 October 2015, 14:58:08
Are they nickel coils though.. if it isn't the VT auto detects and will change back to regular power mode. Otherwise I have heard of a defect in certain VT units that'll just not properly detect and kick you out of temp control mode.
edit: or maybe I'm thinking of a different device but I'm positive that the VT has an issue where it keeps switching you out of temp mode.
It does if you build a coil too low for temp control mode.
Considering the ni200 coils only come in .15ohm and he's talking .5, it sounds like he's trying to use kanthal in temp control which is why it's kicking into wattage mode.

edit: or maybe I'm thinking of a different device but I'm positive that the VT has an issue where it keeps switching you out of temp mode.
It does if you build a coil too low for temp control mode.
Considering the ni200 coils only come in .15ohm and he's talking .5, it sounds like he's trying to use kanthal in temp control which is why it's kicking into wattage mode.
ya that's what I was thinking...

It came with a .5 coil installed and had an extra 1.5 and RDA coil. I had originally left the .5 in it.
Even using in wattage mode it makes a popping and hissing is that common? Perhaps I should record what I'm talking about.

I guess I don't really know. I need to spend some more time looking in to it. It doesn't specifically say it's nickel, unlike the coils that came with the MEGA which are labeled with both the ohm ratings and the material ni vs tithe popping and hissing is normal and it can get especially loud if the coil gets flooded but should gradually decline in intensity as the excess juice is used up (that's at least what i have experienced)

It is easier if we could see what is going on in-person. The popping is normal as it is just the juice heating up and crackling, but the hissing could be from over shooting, essentially burning the wick. Record exactly what is going on, and I could definitely help you out. The subtank mini or nano never come with a nickel coil, so if it is the coil that it comes with, then no they are not nickel. The ni200 coils are labeled on the box of 5 coils, as well as the lettering being blue.
Recording will definitely help us with alleviating your situation. The VTC and VT are both up to par (some even say better than) with the IPV D2, so it is a solid box mod. Wouldn't want you to waste that thing.
EDIT: Only if the hissing is a sharp loud hissing where it just sounds like gas leaking out of a pipe.

Right now I have a braided 26ga coil that's probably around .2 ohms
For comparison sake the 454 does go through less juice but that could be due to the braided coil. Also the velocity leaks less often but when it does leak it leaks more juice than the 454.

lucaslink was super generous and surprised me with a velocity RDA. So I've had it for a few days and I have to say it's my new favorite RDA, for both flavor and vapor production it kicks my 454 big block's ass! It has very adjustable air flow so you can easily change between a warm dense vape and a cooler super cloudy vape.

It's a great atty! I just wish it didn't so ridiculous and wish they had a reduced size (I'm a sucker for short styled atties like my bonsai). A clapton would be beautiful in that sucker since it would really bring out a lot of flavor. I also wish they had a better wholesale distribution cause I hate ordering stuff online. I rather have it in our shop and pick it up and play with it right there and then.

A velocity mini does exist. Also, there's like 1120319123098 clones floating around, so it should be at some distributor or other. Source: bought my velocity from a store.
I've been running a dual 32 over 26 clapton build in mine and it's good stuff.

But of course, here come my current situations / question :))
1) I got in my nickel coils for the subtank. They are .15 ohms, the problem comes up as my box will only see it as a .2 and just burns way to strong even if i turn the settings was down. Not sure if im just dumb, but i cannot for the life of me get it to work. Also, any time i change tanks the box takes me a few times for it to recognize the proper resistance. Like with my ONE mega and the .2 coil, it will recognize any where from .18 to .28. Once i get it dialed in right its great, but ive had it take 15 minutes of re-attaching the tank until it gets the right resistance.
2) More of a noob question that i've found 10 different answers to. How do you change the liquids in your tanks? Do you need to change the atomizer every time, i read somewhere to empty your tank and then just click the power button a few times to "dry burn" any juice left in the coils out.
Sorry if im asking a lot of questions. So far Im loving it. Even when things go wrong, i just find it a good time to learn something, not get frustrated.
Post by: TimIsABat on Thu, 22 October 2015, 01:23:48
Hi again everyone! I finally dialed in my stock tank and settings. 400F and 50W, burns a nice smooth cool cloudy hit which i love. I did a bit more research on coils and settings and realized my issue was using the 1.5 coil with way to high of settings. Using the 1.5 coil and Turning the settings down to about 6-7.5w i was able to get a good hit off the subtank.
But of course, here come my current situations / question :))

Awesome that you found the right settings for your subtank with a 1.5 ohm coil.
1) After you use your device and switch to another tank, you have to let it sit for a few minutes while the new tank is on. Everything has to be within room temperature (the device and the tank) before you start using it. Once everything is cooled down and everything is at room temperature, then lock the resistance. I have many customers come in saying that the resistance is jumping and firing too hot and getting burn hits. You must lock in the resistance ONCE THE DEVICE AND TANK ARE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. Should solve the issue with the .15 ohm Ni200 coil for the subtank.
2) Just rinse out the tank section and base (not the coil) with warm water and dry it with a paper towel or air dry it. Once you fill up the tank and put one or two drops into the coil head with the new juice you should be fine. The new flavor should come in after a few vapes. The thing is, however, if you have a flavor that really sticks to the wick (chocolates, coffee, citrus, etc.) you might need to change the coil, but that is at your discretion. Nickel is a bit trickier as well because the nickel is vaporizing the juice and not heating the wick so it would take a bit longer to get the flavor in.

I'm a keep-it-simple vape-r.
Mechmod (2200mah 18650 battery)
Dual coil RDA (only wire up a single coil - no need for sub-ohm)
Japanese cotton
I make my own ejuice - my habbit costs me less than $.50/10ml
90% vg + 10% flavor
Nicotine is VG-Based (do not use PG based nicotine if you want to minimize PG/maximize VG)
Everyone I meet that vapes "poo-poo's" my setup & juice, until they try it - then they're like "WTF? you made this? and it costs how much?".
I get my batteries from old laptop battery packs (ewaste) - when a laptop battery pack goes bad, it is usually 2 of the 6 cells that are bad. Pull the cells, throw them in charger to test, good ones - use dremel tool to grind ends flat/smooth (bad ones discard).
Ok, yeah, yeah, sub-ohm vaping with un-protected batteries is a risk, but I don't go sub-ohm (only 1 coil w/ 4/5 twists).
Get a SoShine 18650 4-bay charger ~ aprox $27 online (1A x4 bays w/ lcd)
Buy your VG by the gallon
Buy your nicotine vg-based @ 100mg/ml (lock it up - deadly to animals and children)
Transfer your flavors to glass (keep in frigerator - shelf life is about 6-9 months)
Get ejuice-me-up calculator (great free recipe/mix program)
Stay away from sucralose based sweeteners (contributes to alergies and blurry vision)
Drink lots of water - vaping dehydrates you (THIS IS CRITICAL)
Mix up a bottle, close/seal bottle, drop bottle in a cup of hot-coffee/tea, drink beverage, when beverage has been drank, enough heat has transferred to the ejuice, shake, vape! (no need for complicated steeping). Takes me 5 minutes to mix a bottle + the time to drink cup of coffee/tea.
Costs me $1.40 to mix up a 30ml bottle (honest!!!) - 3+ days supply

Picked up the smok tvf4 mini my first experience using Clapton coils comes with a really easy to use rba and this thing chucks vapor and chugs juice unfortunately. It came with giant sextuplets core coil heads that drain a 4ml resy in a handful of vapes :eek: I've been dialing it way back on the rba head and its got amazing taste and sips rather than chugs the juice which is one of the reasons I wanted it. Overall pretty happy subtank wise the uwell and this smok are definetely my faves that I have used

The TFV4 is such a great tank! I'm all about my rebuildable tanks, but as far as those that are mainly using pre-made coils, the TFV4 is up there. I personally don't like the size (looks ridiculous on a IPV D2), but it gives all your needs and then some.

The mini is a lot more reasonably sized, fortunately. I'm in the midst of changing to crown/cyclones because i'm tired of the size or waiting for SS coils though.

My suggestion: Learn how to build and get a Bellus by Youde or a Goblin Mini by Youde.
Seriously. RTAs that allow versatility such as the two mentioned give such a better vape. The Bellus especially is easy to build and is a top fill tank. Just gotta get the wicking down pat. You won't have to wait for coils or spend $20-30 on a five pack, and would just need to rebuild every 2-4 weeks (depending on juice and how low you are building). Plus if you get those two, you can just order Ni200, Ti, or SS coils by the feet for dumb cheap and fine tune it even more with the build you decide to put on. Rebuilding is a 10x better experience. I love my Goblin Mini at a single coil for flavor as well as nicotine delivery, and plan on getting a Bellus for cloud chasing fun.
Edit: RTAs also look sexier

1. hate building most of the time, but I mostly have build experience with rbas, so maybe a goblin mini can convert me? I dunno. The last RTA I had was the russian 90%
2. You rite. Esp SS by the foot is stupid ****ing cheap. Like orders of magnitude cheaper than anything else.

So question guys I just got my smok mini which is my first tank with a RBA option and now I have this bellus en route (for reals I'm up to 6 different tanks now already haha :rolleyes:) where is a good place to order coil and cotton as well as other supplies. There is literally a metric **** ton of vaping sites and it hurts my head searching through miles of menus and then reading reviews etc etc. each purchase requires about 15-20 min or more of research :-X knowledge is power or something I guess but **** me running its getting a bit asinine
I also need to upgrade from my subox and evic mini. I love them but even the new 75watt firmware on the evic is a little low power wise and I'm just absolutely eating up batteries like I'm the vapagizer bunny .....

For wire I suggest eBay, or Lightning Vapes. You can get spools of 100' for really cheap. Once you start rebuilding, you will notice that you will be spending far less on wire than you would on packs of coils. For cotton I suggest Puff's Japanese cotton on amazon, or try out cottonman.com. I haven't tried his stuff yet, but I am really interested as they are fresh picked as well as organically washed and cleaned. He has a whole selection just for vaping. I would look into his Angel Hair kind as I feel it would satisfy all your vaping needs.
Vaping isn't just a method of quitting cigarettes for me (2 years XD). It became a passion, and it always feels good to help other people get the best vape they can. I don't do it for the money or notoriety, I genuinely want people to quit smoking and get the best that they can get gradually (I never suggest a RDA and a mechanical mod to a complete novice). If you are ever in NJ please let me know and I could help you out in person. If I could, I would be spending $500 on Stabilized wood SXJ Chip box mods, and $200 RTAs. I'm just that passionate.

They were gorgeous and amazing to use but there's no way they were worth the work.
Looked like this.

Crown with SS coil + dna200 in tc is a dream so far.
Post by: Joey Quinn on Fri, 30 October 2015, 17:25:36
I'm thinking about getting one of the two previously mentioned RTAs to try dual parallel stainless claptons in. Will that be too much for the build deck on either?

Depends on the gauge you use, when I clapton I use a 22 core with a 26 wrap and they end up huge but I've seen some tiny claptons.

On to better news:
Since I really like how the dna200 is performing in my vaporshark, I'm going to pick up one of these next - http://www.vaporlips.com/dna200-box-mod/
3000mah (so about 3.3x the vaporshark) 3s lipo battery, custom case/button/connection. It'll "only" cost me $300 plus a 2 month wait.

not so much that, it is a country that has also banned the consumption of sheesha (hookah)
we are known for insanely high taxes on such goods (i.e ciggarettes), which has led to speculation that it is being banned because there is really no way to tax the consumption of such goods
the irony of the last quoted :p

US is in midst of trying to get the FDA to approve all juices and mods (made after 2007) for sale. It basically will end vaping in the US as it currently is now as the entry cost to get anything approved for sale will cost $20 - 50k.
I may not be educated in the ways of politics, but I don't see how this will make vaping illegal. There will be a transition period from when the law is approved to when the manufacturers have to abide by it. My guess would be in the realm of a year. While it would make it much more difficult for an individual to make and commercially sell custom box mods and such, the mass producers won't have much difficulty aside from taking a bit longer to get on the market and maybe a touch higher price tag.
Besides, it might help with some of the safety concerns of commercially available unregulated box mods, then putting unregulated batteries, and having them overheat and bad stuff happening after that.
Either way...

Either way...
I'm down with thoughtful regulation, but also notice I didn't say vaping will become illegal with this. I probably shouldn't have quoted clochette to be fair, but it was more a lead off to say what the US is looking at doing currently.
You're right that there will be a grace period where some people will try to grab as much of the easy cash as possible, but there would be a huge contraction in both the juice and mod markets (save DIY, which isn't subject to such regulations as such), where it'll be the largest of current companies dictating pricing, flavors and tech based on whether or not it'll be profitable after both r&d and then the cost of regulation. While I've heard it'll cost $20,000 to $50,000 per juice flavor before, I just read an article today talking about how that cost could be as much as $500,000 per flavor or device looking to be sold in the States. I don't think that will lead to a touch higher prices, but significantly higher prices and less innovation as well.
A lot of the battery related accidents I've read about seem to boil down to user error, too. Carrying batteries loose in a pocket that has other metal things in it (keys/change) which lead to shorting, over heating, then explosive venting, poor education when it comes to building both mods and coils or using visibly damaged batteries. But we also live in a society of hand holding instead of education and responsibility so what regulation that does come through will probably be too stiff for my preferences.

Running dual 26 gauge A1 on a Plume Veil V2.5 Styled RDA w/ a Tugboat Styled mech mod (LG 18650HG2 batteries). I bought everything off fasttech, great website for getting into vaping if you are new to it and they have solid products for cheap. I'd recommend buying all vaping juice from local though, I don't trust the stuff to not have machining oil in it ^:P
I absolutely love this combo so I will do a mini review of it now.
Plume Veil V2.5 Styled RDA:
Great little RDA, I love the airflow on it, there are plenty of airholes, two in the top, two on the side letting air flow directly over the coils depending on how you arrange it and two on the bottom for airflow underneath the coils, although I usually leave these closed and pool the bottom deck with juice so I don't have to fill it up as much (these will leak juice if they are open, this is one of my gripes about this). Another one of my gripes is that it is incredibly hard to pull the black carbon fiber middle piece off. This might not be a problem for some people but when you are switching out coils you really have to give it a good pull.
A thing to note about the middle piece though is that is is incredibly tough, don't let the look of flimsy carbon fiber put you off there is a brass cylinder inside of it which makes it super tough. The pegs themselves are a decent enough height off the bottom deck although like most RDA's it could have a little more clearance off the deck. The center peg does turn a little so you will have to tighten up the middle screw. The airflow through the drip tip is fantastic, I like to lung inhale so I quite like a big opening and the plume veil nails it. It's made out of POM and after a few months of use it has been quite durable, I have accidentally bitten it a few times but it shows no signs of wear.
Overall I really like this RDA, would highly recommend it to anyone, great value for money only $7 dollars US.
(https://img.fasttechcdn.com/223/2237305/2237305-5.jpg)
Tugboat Styled Mechanical Box Mod:
I will start out with the nasties. There is hot snot used over the top of the soldering, a crude & cheap alternative to liquid electrical tape but I guess it gets the job done, there is also a little wiggle with the rear cover although this is very very slight, looking back on it, it wouldn't prevent me from buying it again. This is a solid device. This is a simple device. It makes the magic pixies go from the battery to the coil and then back to the battery. And for all intensive purposes it does this perfectly.
(https://img.fasttechcdn.com/298/2985700/2985700-6.jpg)
The button is much better than I expected. Not the best button in the world but certainly not the worst. There is a definite tactile bump on firing and its not a design that would make me think it would stick at all. The 510 thread is spring loaded and the back is magnetically seated and strong. The housing itself is made out of milled aluminium and very dense, it feels very good in the hand and feels quality despite the price. The paint job surprised me, its a matt premium feeling paint, like velvet and it tough, I gave it a really good scratch with my fingernails and I was surprised that it didn't come off. I then gave it a good scratch with my keys and it still didn't come off so its a pass for pocket friendlyness if you have big enough pockets. Its some type of powder coating and if feels REALLY nice. It seems to have some sort of clear matt protective coating over the green and red.
For $27 usd its a solid mod, there are many other ones out there that seem to have come from the same manufacturer so I give it a thumbs up and a recommendation although I have heard some horror stories about them being wired in series on a parallel sled.

My question is, since my box detects the resistance automatically, do i need to buy something that tests before hand? Or will i be good, to make the coil/wick it, and the screw just the bottom on to see the resistance?

If your box tests the resistance I don't think you'll need to test beforehand, I wrap for mechs and unless I know it'll be below 0.15ohms I don't test mine.

I would think I would be able to guess the resistance by look after a few. I just wanted to be sure.

I have a few mods that test resistance but I still picked up one because it's really easy to see if there any hot spots and to see how the cool is doing under load. I am able to make small adjustments easily with ceramic tweezers and Pop my deck back In ezpz (to many rip vids) anyways you don't need one but I picked mine up for $10 and use it all the time so it was definitely worth it 8) I love my youde bellus and almost bought the goblin mini let me know how you like it 8)

What an order! I'm jealous of the access of to all these american liquids. It's hard for me to get a hold of in Denmark. At least from the same shop.
I think the Smok TVF4 will be my next tank. Right now I use the Kangertech SUBtank mini.
Do you know how these compare to one another? My RBA does not have much room to build but I do not know what the standard is. I'm use Clapton wire as well, 26ga + 32ga, I see that yours is 28. Wonder how much difference it makes.

I don't know if it worked or I was just tired but I'll try it out for a bit. :)) If I like it I might get another aromamizer rdta and just dedicate 1 to this juice :))

I like that parallel clapton roll, btw. Also, you said they were different gauge but they look the same to me.

Okay. I'm not sure what to get next to replace my subtank. I like the subtank alot, but I have nothing to compare it with really, only the nano, but it lacks a RBA - which i enjoy playing with.
Oh, and if anyone knows about Nicoticket e-Juice, i will remind you of the 50% off discount sale going on atm.
Quality liquid and a fully transparent company in regards of what their juices contain.
The stuff I can vouch for, is the desert juices. I have not gone over every juice yet, but so far they just have not disappointed me.
Grandma's cinnamon Danish: The cinnamon is dominant in this one, but coupled with that bakery dough it all adds up to a cinnamon based cake. This + coffee = a delicious combination, especially in the morning.
Got cookie?: Their take on a chocolate cookie juice. I'm pretty sure people are biased on this one, since the chocolate is not really chocolate, but the cocoa is definitely present and when it's paired with the sugary cookie (one on the inhale and other on exhale) I find it really delicious.
Frenilla: Sweet as hell vanilla. Very tasty. My brother could not stand it though, so this one is towards the sweet tooth. Easily an all day vape if you got a sweet tooth.

Aromamizer-
its got some quirks but a really solid choice comes in 3ml and 6ml variants very nice build feel however it pricier then the other variants nice flavor and better airflow then the bellus.
-Youde Bellus
it feels a little cheap but again its got really good flavor a 5ml tank it has an insert so you can close off the deck for single coil builds but unfortunately it cuts the air flow in half. For $25 shipped its a pretty solid choice and i feel does everything the aromimizer does (a bit differently albeit) and is $20 cheaper.
The Bellow v2
this RDTA is freaking amazing! great build quality great flavor lots of build flexibility I think this is my new favorite RDTA and you can get it at eciggity for $35 shipped.
Now the Smok tvf4 mini is what I would go for if I wanted a sub ohm tank that also has an RBA. Build quality is freaking top notch it does not leak has amazing flavor and chucks like a champ. It has a lot of coil options however they are a bit pricy ! One good thing is I'm still going 3 weeks strong on one of the pre built coils it has a bunch of extras and is currently my favorite subohm tank. My only nitpick is the fairly small tank size of 3.5ml and the fact the pre made coils drink ejuice like an alcoholic guzzling natty ice. I have a single coil build on my RBA on the mini dialed in @25watts and its sipping juice and yet has great flavor and decent vapor.
I have the regular tvf4 and it leaks and has other issues the mini IMO is a much better choice.
There are so many other setups I really want to try right now one being the haze dripper the zenith and the vapeston Magnus ni.
Oh one more thing I officially hate vaping on nickel or titanium ughhhhhhhh to tell you the truth I have found that the only TC vape I like is Stainless Steel the others taste funny or just don't give me the warmth and thickness I like in a vape.

Alright thanks for the enlightenment. An RDTA is what i will be getting next, no doubt. I just saw that you can get the Billow v2, the one I believe you mentioned, in a NANO version(or just a kit for the regular, to transform it at low cost - neat!).
Im quite certain that I will be getting the nano after what i've read about the billow v2 - thanks for mentioning it. I found it here in denmark with a 45 USD price. Probably the same when shipping adds up.

You know me bro. Money ain't a thang as long as it is worth it. I'll let you know if it's worth the $100. So far no clones are out and I tried the Authentic Haze tank and it's pretty good. The Zenith allows for dual coil right off the bat and holds a lot more juice than the Haze tank. Also more airflow that you can still cut off.
What's a good source for some SS 317L wire? I've been wanting to try doing a SS build for temp control and I kinda wanna put that in my Zenith. I can only go as thick as 26g and 24g for the tank as well.

Excited to hear what you think, an RDTA sounds perfect for me. I'm headed to the shop today to get more juice so if they have a haze clone I may pick one up.

just picked up a roll of it as I saw you mention it has a nice fast ramp up which I like (i tend to thread my fire buttons even when I don't Have to so the nichrome sounds nice) also did you get the tobacco haze clone punks? I always here people say tobeco when they buy clones so I don't know if they make better clones or if its a crap shoot. I saw your haze in you last post and mistook it for an authentic so it looks nice for a clone 8) ....I just don't Have a $100 to spend on a tank in not sure if I will like ....ya know.

As far as the Efusion DNA 200, I need to rebuild this with SS 304 so I could use the temperature control function and make it a warmer vape. So far, using my Bonsai RDA, the DNA 200 definitely is more accurate than the SXJ chips out there with straight power. Absolutely no complaints. Also for anyone using a DNA 200, use Escribe to make sure you have the right settings for your battery to get the most out of the LiPo. It took 1 hr of straight vaping using my dripper at 150 watts (which is more than enough considering I am using a reduced sized atty which is extremely warm) for the battery to be even halfway.

So I finally got the part I needed for my Zenith RDTA. It's a bit of a pain at first to build, but after its built out it's great! Still trying to get used to wicking as it is very different from any tank or rda out there. With the current build (26 g Nichrome 80 8 wrap over a 3.0 mm screw driver), it's pretty cold of a vape with airflow wide open. I had to buy the delrin chuff cap from Science of Vaping cause I've been reading that the atty gets pretty hot other wise.:eek: :eek:

The one at the end is a Castigador mechanical box mod by Emperor Vape East and a Bonsai RDA by The Cloud Factory. That set up is around $320 retail. Insanely hard hitting box mod with an amazing cloud and flavor chasing atty. Such an easy little bugger to build, too.
The Zenith is so damn sexy. Just gotta figure out a build that compensates for all that airflow. I get full flavor out of it, but it is still too cold of a vape with full airflow. This will be my cloud chasing tank, so I Just need to put a nice warm SS 304 build and crank the temperature and wattage up (bye bye battery life).

lucaslink was super generous and surprised me with a velocity RDA. So I've had it for a few days and I have to say it's my new favorite RDA, for both flavor and vapor production it kicks my 454 big block's ass! It has very adjustable air flow so you can easily change between a warm dense vape and a cooler super cloudy vape.
Duuude i'm stoked!. based on how you said you vaped i figured you'd like it.
it's amazing how many vapers are in here.

So, randomly eating pizza I have come up with the idea of giving daily vape tips on this thread.
Now I am not trying to boast like I have all the knowledge, but I have worked in the vape industry for more than a year doing research on my own as well as learning from the best minds in the industry. Their knowledge surpassed mine, and we bounced ideas and concepts off of each other daily. These tips are really meant for those of you that have started vaping recently and need some ideas on what to buy, what builds to build, and etc. Do not hesitate to contribute or discuss the tips given.
You do not have to follow these tips, but these all stem from experience from other vapers as well as myself.
So here we go!
Tip #1: You don't need to super-subohm on a high wattage device
Back when I started vaping over two years ago, sub-ohming started to boom. We had no choice but to sub ohm on mechanical mods as those are the only mods we had that could produce the clouds that we all desired. To achieve great lengths of vape production, we had to build 0.5 ohms or lower using 26-22 g kanthal, N80, or other types of specialty wire. The reason was that the power was being supplied directly from the battery (which we all made sure they were safe to handle the resistance), and because of this, we had to build low to get the full strength.
Times have changed and high variable wattage devices have emerged. The biggest misconception with these mods is that you had to build low to reach the desired power. Builders would build their atomizers to 0.2 and lower to reach 150 w or even 80 w. Through research and experience, many of us have found that this is a great misconception. Being able to add more power to coils that are higher resistance made the ramp up time much faster. Therefore, you can build 0.5 ohm coils and it would ramp up as fast as a 0.15 ohm coil using more power. This being said, you have more capabilities using higher ohm coils. A 26g 13 wrap over a 3.0 mm screw driver has much more surface area than a 22 g six wrap over the same size diameter. The resistance will be much higher, but because one has the capability of using more power, you can shoot 90 w and get a warmer much denser cloud than a 22g 6 wrap. The coils also cool down much faster so you don't have to worry about a burning hot atomizer when you touch to take off the cap. This really unlocks the capabilities and versatility in your builds. Now pair those high ohm surface area covering builds with wire like nichrome 80 or stainless steel and the ramp up time would be even faster (and much warmer). This concept of surface area coils that read higher is the reason why a Herakles can handle so much power on a 0.6 ohm coil.

I like the idea and greatly appreciate the sharing of your knowledge, but I feel that a tip a day will be too much to quick and leave little for the future.
Looking forward to more tips in the future!
Yeah I was thinking about that. I'll just do weekly then. Plus I'm hungover right now and can't come up with anything
hahaha. your first tip was spot on! i'd agree that daily would be too much. i have a batty conspiracy theory that the manufacturers of vape products and juices banded together to push sub-ohm on the masses in order to increase their sales of both juice and coils. that build you described above can be run lower and still blow clouds and provide a warm flavorful vape that won't cost as much in juice as its sub-ohm counterpart would.

You do also have to keep in mind your airflow. It may seem like you are just burning the center of the wick, but if you have wide airflow and take deep pulls, the entire wick should dry up instead of just the center. Sub ohming does eat up a ton of juice so you are right. Running lower power can still give you a great experience. How much power for those high ohm coils is all up to the user.

I need one of you to put me together a budget but quality vape setup, please. I don't have the time or energy with everything going on to do it myself. I need everything, including good juice.
Please PM me if you are interested and willing to do this. I will compensate you somehow.
IPv2 w/ kangertech subtech mini would probably be perfect for you.
It requires little to no knowledge of vaping. That is, you can buy pre-made .15 ohm coils in packs of 5. Replace when it starts tasting funny. Fill it up, replace the batts when needed. Oh, and its SMALL, doesn't leak, and gives you what you need when you need it. You're not going to be blowing clouds or anything, but if that's your goal you should just build yourself a mofset box for about $40 (assuming you can solder) and get RDA like the mutation.
FWIW I've been vaping about 2 years now. Started off using mech mods (Nemesis w/ Keyfun,Mephisto all the way to the Smpl w/ PlumeVeil ), when VV/VW tech finally caught up moved to the dna200, and ever since I've been on the IPv2 w/ subtank. I've built nearly every coil and I've also been making my own e-liquid for over a year now. I have quite a bit of knowledge in this area and have been close to opening my own shop now for quite some time.

Please PM me if you are interested and willing to do this. I will compensate you somehow.5
Smok tvf4 mini between $25-$35 (amazing sub-ohm tank with a ton of pre made coil options and if you' ever change your mind it comes with a decent RBA section and extras)
I recommend buying at least 4x18650 batteries as running a mod that requires 2 married(married. Just means the 18650s have been charged together so they have the same amount of juice )
What I'm getting to is with 2sets you will have a spare to switch out 8)
I recommend going for Samsung 25rs or LG HG2 you can find deals for. 4 batteries for around $24 or roughly $6 a piece. I also recommend to not buy them from the vaping sites unless they are that cheap as they tend to charge a premium (there are exceptions if you can find authentic batteries in that price range I say jump on them.
As far as juice goes that's really hard you would have to tell me things you like flavor wise and even then it's a very individual thing.
A couple sites that have great prices are ejuicedirect and ejuicemafia
Some very affordable juice at mtbaker however most of those juices you need steep as they are too fresh and will taste funky. I let mine breathe for a week or 2 and it usually helps also there are different nicotine levels I find anything over 12mg tastes like **** and myself vape 3 to 6 but that's considered low. If you were a heavy smoker 12 might be a good place to start although as said it's very individual.
Also there is vg/pg mixes and I don't have the time to go into that however 70by/30pg is a good place to start.
I'm on my phone and have to work but hopefully this helps 8)
Anyways absurd good luck and enjoy
P.s. I have been smoke free for a. Couple of months now which is the longest I have ever made it. Honestly I have only craved a smoke maybe 2-3 times in that whole period punks kind of introduced me and I haven't looked back

agree completely on your choices. The Nebox was going to be my original pick, but i didnt want to limit him with only using a tank. I took it as a challenge to find the cheapest rig+ juice while staying away from pens.
if i were going on personal preference, with all the money i have wasted on tanks/mods/rdas
https://www.elementvape.com/sigelei-150w-watt-temperature-control-box-mod-tc
strictly for the 2 battery option, i hate carrying extra batteries. You will never need more than 75w. If carrying an extra battery isnt an issue for you
https://www.elementvape.com/ipv-d2-75w-temperature-control-box-mod-by-pioneer4you
https://www.elementvape.com/smok-tfv4-mini-sub-ohm-tank
or the Uwell Crown, seriously top fill tanks should be mandatory. just keep some extra juice on you. Nothing worse than trying to fill a goblin mini or bottom screwed tank.

I thought about dual 18650 boxes for him, too, but considering the reauleaux exists now, I couldn't bring myself to recommend any other high power mods. That said, the sigelli 150w tc feels and looks great for that stage of mod.
Top fill tanks are the bee's knees. I'm hoping the new herakles plus isn't as big of a pain to get into as the cyclone was.
Why is there a power input on the bottom of the IPV d2 if the chargers they offer are external "bay" chargers?
Because that's where you'd plug in an internal charger if you so chose. Most everyone recommends charging 18650s outside the mod on the offchance of gassing issues that cause the battery to inflate and pop.
To charge internally - http://www.ebay.com/itm/221750622695?rmvSB=true

With the nebox, you trade length for girth, obv.
BTdubs, you broke my heart, punkface. The coupon code you gave out isn't valid. Don't know if that means it doesn't work with the reauleaux or what, but yeah.
Post by: Sed8op8 on Mon, 23 November 2015, 16:57:05
The reason I recomended the I stick100 for absurd is it's a dual 18650(and its dirt cheap and solid)and all of the single 18650 mods I have while I love them I have the istick60tc,smok treebox and evic vtc mini if I'm vaping 35watts or over I'm going to have to change my batteries at least once a day. A cheap dual 18650 will run 30 to 60 watts (which seems to be the range I usually vape in) all day and then some. I'm really looking forward to picking up a new mod for black Friday and if your in the market for some hear there are a ton of sale going on :thumb:
I haven't tried the haze dripper clone yet but pretty excited also really digging the features in the crius. It has the best top fill IMO I Have seen and the velocity deck and the wick wells are pretty amazing not to mention the ability to easily close off the juice to the deck. NO MORE LEAKS not that I struggled with it usually but now it's definitely more reassuring to throw in my purse or pocket 8)
Post by: absyrd on Tue, 24 November 2015, 09:29:05
So you are saying if I get the Sigelei and only run it half wattage or less, the **** will last much longer? That makes a ton of sense.
Post by: UsualSuspectXXX on Tue, 24 November 2015, 19:52:04
Ugh. I don't want to be carrying batteries. I don't want to be leaving them in the freezing car while I'm in and out of hospitals for the next 3 months.

Yes, the less power you use, the longer they will last.

i can vouch for the vtc mini. its a super solid mod. i've owned all the other mods in the same size range minus the d2 and this one is my favourite. no stupid logo screens, just five clicks on, five clicks off. nice big crisp clear screen. easy to navigate through its features.
one thing i will stress, is to please buy a good charger. if you're on a budget the nitecore's are ok (though there are fakes floating around.) i highhhhhly recommend any xtar charger. its worth its weight in gold. i have the xtar vp2 and its variable amp charging has allowed me to bring batteries that went below their rated charge back to life. charging via usb is the typical cause for the fires and melted mods you see online. not all usb charging boards are created equal, and i've personally had a ****ty cloupor product go up in smoke as a result of charging via its built in usb. the consistency of charge through a nitecore or xtar should alleviate any potential hazards.
if you're going to go the dual battery route, everyones recommendation of the sigelei is solid. much better than the pioneer4you offerings.

Moreso to be careful when using a resistance below 1 ohm, as some batteries have a bad time trying to handle this (e.g. venting or worse, explosion).
As long as you've got a Samsung 25R/LG HE4/Sony VTC4 or other quality batteries, and aren't building coils that go down to .09 ohms, you should be fine.

Good day for vape mail my OBS crius, Sapor and haze dripper tank clone came in today (hazz dripper lols) anyways I have gone a little crazy with the rtas lately but they are so nice and have become my favorite style tank I now have the billow2,aromamizer,youde bellus and obs crius
crius vs aromamizer rta: GO!
i'm looking at both. ordered the haze/hazz (in glass!) as well as the bellus yesterday but want to pick up one or both the crius vs aromamizer rtas. i know they both have the velocity style decks, which i love, but i want something thats not going to leak to badly.
(also ordered the reuleaux but will probably resell it pretty quick. i mostly just want to hold it. :D)

Thanks, punks! Like I said, I wanted to go straight to the right thing. I spent a little more than expected, but like you said, without asking here first I would have probably bought a piece of **** and it would have ended up in trash.
I figured I'd just picked up smoking again because of stress, and that this, for the price of 3 cartons, will make me stop before I get bad with the cigs. It is so messed up; I've gone a year without freaking out about Des, but now that we are in the home stretch, I'm all of a sudden very anxious.
I went with 6mg juice to start and will just go down to 1.5 or 0 after I reorder.
EDIT: Wow. elementvape shipped same day as ordered on Black Friday! Nicely done. I just checked tracking and it requires sig confirmation, though. I guess they don't want 10 year olds receiving this ****.

Consider dropping to 3 before hitting 1.5 or 0. Not sure what your smoking situation is like right now, but while it might not seem like a big drop, your body might think otherwise. My personal experience is that I find myself vaping more at 3mg than I did at 6. I physically can't vape 6 anymore (I get a 'nic od') but the drop from 6 to 1.5 is larger than one might think. Do it if your goal is to get off nic entirely, but I'd hate to see you hit a smoke cause you were having a nic fit and just needed a fix. Good choices though.
sed8 thanks for the review! looks like i need to get both. :D the crius is more intriguing though. where do you usually order your hardware from? i mostly do china and waiiiit forever cause I'm in canada and the prices of retailers here is kind of crazy.

Smoking situation is I just started again (about 10 Spirits a day) due to anxiety crutch. **** still owns me. Idea with the vape is to catch it before it becomes a bigger habit rather than a stress reliever at specific times.
I will take your advice and go 3 next, but for as little time as possible.
I enjoy going outside to get away from what I'm doing and the physical action of smoking. I really think this is the way to go to kill the habit for good.

1. Only vape, trick yourself into believing vaping is a better feeling than smoking.
"It will blow the feeling of smoking out of the water down the road. I had a bad reaction to high PG juice with an allergy and broke out on body acne, so i almost quit. I picked up a cig and got 4 pulls in and tossed it. It wasnt filling up my lungs like vape and it tasted like ****. It felt like trying to smoke through a thin straw, just not satisfying."
2. The ole quitting jar
reward yourself down the road, throw your weekly smoking money in a jar and buy some cool **** with it after a few months.

keep it in your glove box for 3 days, it gets amazing. When i got my first bottle of it it was good but had a slight "pickle"taste... after it steeped that pickle turned into a dense cream... so good
currently vaping My Man by them, and had to do the same steeping process.

Does juice need to be warm to steep? The Milkman was sitting on my porch in freezing weather for over a week before I opened it today. :))

i had to do that with my RocketMan juice by them. The sample i had was so strong but when i ordered a bottle of it, it was weaker. Mixed it with WhitEOctopus Ink (black Currant) and it went from meh to insane. Milkman is definitely my ADV, loaded with sugar but screw it.
how are you digging the tugbox? I picked up a fasttech dinghy clone for $17, and they are top notch clones. if not real flawless with slight imperfections, (my post was a tiny bit leaning). Its so stealth and powerful. Props on picking up an authentic, those clones look like ****. Squishy non click button and hot glued wiring, not to mention flawless's cerakote paint jobs last forever. I picked up a NEBOX for my GF and the paint is already chipped...Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/GhZNppz.jpg)

The tugbox is exactly what I wanted, the vapor stays dense all day and I can get a second day out of the batteries if I feel like it. The button may actually be my favorite part :)) SO CLICKY! Also the box feels like a brick. Overall really glad I went with the authentic box, after seeing a few clones in person you can really feel the difference.
I can't do RDAs that small, I always build too large.
How's the haze clone so far?

Yeah, kinda sucks, would have ordered a few more (I love random stuff) but my money's on PayPal and pay days not til Friday.
Edit: Sed8, I used your referral code, so you should be getting the 5$ credit from there too.

Ugh. I'm so scared of all these sweet/fruity juices. And I don't want MENTHOL flavored, but maybe some kind of mint?
My favorites have been the milky flavors. The milkman by the vaping rabbit is my current ADV, I've also really like milk and honey by cosmic fog and unicorn milk by cuttwood.

I think the PG/VG is more of a personal opinion. Higher VG gives cloudier hits with more mellow flavors. Better for an ADV, in my opinion anyways.

Propylene glycol, on the other hand, is considerably less toxic than ethylene glycol and may be labeled as "non-toxic antifreeze". It is used as antifreeze where ethylene glycol would be inappropriate, such as in food-processing systems or in water pipes in homes where incidental ingestion may be possible. As confirmation of its relative non-toxicity, the FDA allows propylene glycol to be added to a large number of processed foods, including ice cream, frozen custard, salad dressings and baked goods.

PG messes with my throat so I always go max VG.
As far as my ADV right now I switch between Milkman, Lunar Harvest Black, or a mix of both.
If you want a good fruit flavor in the sea of juicy fruit crap I'd recommend Lunar Harvest Black.

lol i am yet to meet anyone who hasnt had issues with PG,
i was trying to figure out why i was getting body acne at 27. Everyone told me it was the "quit zits" from quitting smoking. A lot of cheap shampoos have PG as a main ingredient. If you get alot of dandruff/itchy scalp from using PG shampoo, stay away from high PG juices. I switched to 70/30 80/20 blends and my acne went away.

Im right there with you, higher PG juices give too much of a 'throat hit'. Max VG juices are smooth.

That's weird, I didn't know PG was such a common ingredient. Out of curiosity I'll probably check my shampoo when I get home.
I was the same way with juice though, at 70/30 or higher I'm fine.

120ml of uncle junks John Wayne
100ml of good life's deadly sin ( why did I only order one)
2x30ml of space jam eclipse
1x 100ml of Nicotickets the Virus
1x Halo tribe's
The deadly sin is one of the best ejuice I have capes
I'm getting a buttery milky maple vanilla caremel and a drop of tobacco and something I can't put my finger on so freaking amazing
Any ex smokers I would. Recommend any of those for an ADV

1. Put together, filled center hole by accident, sucked up juice into mouf.
2. Did not open air flow adjustment so was not getting hits and just burning my fingers.
3. Put it at 60w and tugged SO hard for 10 seconds after not getting any flow earlier. Coughed so hard almost puked.
Question: How do I adjust the resistance? Or does it auto? I have .15 coil in and sometimes showing resistance of .27 but mostly .17. Can that blow up in my face?

You don't, the resistance is solely hardware measurement of the coil. Are you using the ni200 coils? They have a weird resistance swing, it won't be an issue, but you should run in TC if you're using nickle.

The resistance shouldn't be changing on it's own, each coil should remain stable. I'd check the 510 to make sure you aren't getting some bad connection that makes it jump around.

Yes. Pre-installed ni200. TC is temperature controlled? If so, what C or F?

put it on F and try it again around 450 degrees. That was the best cool hit temp i found with a .15-20 coil.
If if keeps readin the wrong resistance, take the tank off and let it cool for a few minutes then re-attach the tank and press the up & down arrows at the same time to have the box re-test the resistance.

Also I think pouring **** down the middle made juice leak out of the air control slots and down into the mod. Uh ohs.
This juice is everywhere.
I really should read directions.

Also... this thing is huge. I need bigger pockets or a much smaller mod and tank for when inside places on the move.

I carry my tug box in the my back left pocket, doesn't get in the way when I walk and if I'm sitting down the box is normally out.

Does anyone have any experience with the aeolus rda ? I had a guy come into my work and he was going on about how the aeolus v2 tobeco clone is the better then the authentic and one of if not the best rdas for flavor there is and he owns a velocity and a kennedy derringer blah blah
Anyways the guy was annoying but I did some research and it sounds like he might not be talking out his ass . most reviews say the clone is better then the authentic and is one of the least talked about amazing rda's out right now....for $22 I think I'm going to try it haha I have to much gear I need to try right now just waiting for me to build in (for me this is just as addicting if not more so then my keyboard hobby....eek)anyways hitting some one hit wonder on my 15 min work break

And like sed8 said, this "hobby" is already addicting. Now that I can actually feel and see the weight and size of this thing, I know I'm going to need something much smaller (tank and mod) to haul around this winter in and out of hospitals with Destiny.

no way. grab an evic mini vtc. you can get them for around $30 for just the mod or $50 w/ a tank. they just released a new kit that comes with a tank called the 'tron' that looks alright.
Be sure not to use the same batteries you use in your sigelei as you want to keep those 2 married.

recently got myself a snow wolf 200W version 1 with smok tfv4 mini
dont really like the tfv4 as it really sucks the juice too quickly. i would prefer an option of rba with the tanks
currently considering the subtank mini or uwell crown, can anyone give their personal opinions?
or share with me their personal fav when it comes to sub ohm tanks?
would there be any builds where i can fully utilize the TC function of the snow wolf?

Either way, for those of you that started long before TC, when switching to it, did you find your juice preference changed?
A flavor I get from a local shop, tastes completely different on TC than it does on VW.
Post by: tjcaustin on Tue, 01 December 2015, 18:23:14
So I have been using my istick TC40 for a week or two. It was very different from the usual VV/VW modes. For the record I am using the Melo tank from eLeaf as well. Also, I think this is going to be my last eLeaf product. My 30 watt istick only lasted a few months. I guess you get what you pay for. It was showing short circuit for anything I put on it.

My mod doesnt use batteries, but that doesnt seem right to me.
In other news, my 'Churrios' by the vaping rabbit came in. It tastes exactly like a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. I also switched from TC mode to power controlled mode, and the flavors are much better and give a better hit, but it kills my battery and drinks juice like a capri-sun.

Not necessarily, I'm not good with the whole 'resistance maths' but any coils can be used in power control mode just with varying appropriate power levels.
With my .38ti coil i know i like around 25w/3.08v. I can pop a Ni coil back in when i get home today and test, unless someone else has an opinion for you to try.

Can always have too little moneys. Gonna wait til I need more juice so I can save on shipping. Let's see... 10 spirits a day for 4 days now... that would have been 2 packs at around $7.50 a pop. $15 less in cigs = almost 2 batteries. Plus the whole health thing. :D

You are my only motivation! I will not rot in a hospital and make you have to go it alone.
Thank goodness we have all these new friends. Blessed.
Okay. I'm now in TC mode at 450 F. Running about 30.0J gets me a much easier hit. Might jack it up to 35ish.absyrd I have some gear for you hun8) 3-4 .5 ss premades for your crown and some other stuff(i have the rba deck for it so i build my own and don't need them).... The stainless steel coils for the the crown have pretty good flavor also
I think I was burning up my coil and **** before (and prolly my lungs and throat).
Also, resistance is now reading .16, so I think I'm good there.
Haven't had a cig in 3 hours. If I make it through til the morning this thing is already a smashing success.
Ugh. Too many people giving me stuff. I would like to try something other than nickel, for sure, and really crank up the powa!

The ****? The resistance on my ni200 decided to go up to .23 after I took the whole tank off after spilling. Could that be from getting juice on the contact?
Ive had this problem with coilc before. Take the tank off the mod and let it sit for ~5 minutes. Then put it on and scan the resistance again (up and down arrow at the same time at yours) and it should be good. Is there a way to lock the resistance on that one? If so make sure you do it after it reads the right resistance.
Post by: absyrd on Fri, 04 December 2015, 10:50:03
I tried taking tank off and resetting to 0, but put it back on and, bammo, back to .23.
EDIT: Put new coil in. Back down to .16. Gonna stick with that.
And two out of 5 of these sampler juices make me want to barf. Anything "cream" or "sugar" or not a STRONG berry flavor = puke.
Went to local vape spot today as suggested by tj and found:

Got it in 6mg 70VG/30PG and it tastes like light green tic tacs. Could be my ADV.

Got my jaybo wismec reuleaux today with 3x@18650s been running temp control all day through my also wismec/jaybo indestructible (figure I would match my rba with my mod 8)...)with dual 6wrap 24g stainless steel hitting it hard and the battery has not gone down at all after 8 hours haha I'm loving this .....I highly recommend updating the firmware if you have this mod because mine was all over with the resistance and tc modes were jacked up.
I just got my 2 reauleauxs today, too!
I got an rx and a dna to use. Very excite.

Jealous of that battery life. I'm draining my sigelei like a mofo. Glad y'all recommended that at least or I'd be boned.
Also... grab bag juices were Rock Candy (nice) and Banana (not great), but they accidentally sent me 0mg nic. Guess they want me to quit faster. hehe

$100 apple pie (high VG) by nothern lights cape co - it's really good! Nice fresh apple flavor with a hint of cinnamon crust flavor
Key Lime Cookie by Ripe Vapes - I haven't tried this yet, but I will as soon as I finish a tank of the apple pie. It smells really good though.
I'm in the same boat as sed8, I've dropped TC and have been thinking about a mechanical mod or maybe just a better/more powerful mod and would love some recommendations!

I love $100 apple pie. Good choice.
In my opinion, if you go mechanical, you either have to be good at building very low or spend $ on a series box. (Or be able to build one, obv).
If you want more power, but also regulated power, look at the reauleaux (either rx200 or dna200). Great price either way with insane battery life possibilities (btw, get the brown lg 18650s) and a near perfect shape to hold. Other options include the efusion (dna200 mod), sigelli 200w tc or the snow wolf 2.0 when it comes out in Feb. Another good option that uses the same chip (I think) as the snow wolf - https://www.myvapingoutlet.com/products/barbaric-bv200-tc-mod/8430. I preordered on on black friday and should be getting it late next week. It's probably my second favorite mod to hold (rollo took that spot up top today), 200w, dual 18650, solid as hell and looks like a mini xbox 360 in white.

Is TC @ 450F with 35-40J causing me to go through juice and batteries so quick? I really like the hits I'm getting as it feels like a cig. I guess that is the trade-off?450f is not insanely high for Tc mode however I have not been using joules as a measurement most the time. I'm not sure if that's high or not ..? Maybe someone here can comment ...? Anyways I'm sorry to here your struggling a bit out the gate absurd although I can say you seem to have taken to it very swiftly with much fewer (big) mistakes then I did at first. 8) TJs recommendation for for the brown LG batteries is a solid one (hg2s I believe) they are a 3000mah 20a (tested and proven ) battery your vtc4s while awesome batteries are only 2100 mah basically they hit a bit harder but don't last as long . I found them on sale for $6 a piece I think ..... Also pm your addy so I can shoot you some goodies 8)

I can totally do this. It is like a shorter, longer pen holder with bigger holes. I don't vape though and I have no clue how big the holes actually need to be, or how high would be appropriate to hold the equipment properly. Someone would have to tell me, or point me to some dimensions. Hook me up with the info and I'll see what I can do. I sent absyrd a few pictures of stuff I've been working on for other things to see if I'm in the ballpark.
I think most tanks/atomizers are 22mm diameter, and some of the larger ones like the aromamizer hexagonal shaped atty are 25-26mm

Judging off my tank i currently have sitting here, The holes would need to be an inch in diameter and about an inch tall from bottom to top. This would hold tanks kind of like the example picture does, sitting in the bottom with the top wood hold tanks near the center. The only quirky thing would be a small hole would need to be drilled out right in the center of the bottom to hold the tanks as they have the threads to screw into the mod. http://imgur.com/a/tuFdZ
I think the same thing would hold 15-30ml bottles as well.

This is very ON topic. If you look through the thread, not many of the people have cool storage for all their tanks, juices, etc.
It is recommended with tanks that you store them upright. And I only have 1 tank right now, but I'll be getting another eventually as I transition from 6mg to 3mg. Plus I want two totally diff flavor profiles and you get residual taste trying to go from one flavor to the next.
3 in a line or possibly 3x2 would be a pretty good start.
Sounds good to me. Hopefully some others chime in with how many tanks they have.

To use the Temp Control features, you need to use either the NI or TI coils.
But if your interested in trying the power control features, the S6 looks the most interesting.

In other news, I have a Tuglyfe box, an aelous v2 clone, some 20 & 26 awg kanthal (Clapton coils anyone?), ceramic tweezers, an ohm tester and some cottonman angel hair cotton on the way.dude how dope is the flavor on the aeolus tobeco clone I got that last week and I'm loving it (tobeco actually fixed all the problems of the authentic version) also just ordered a SMPL mechanical clone by wotofo and got the wismec noisy cricket to try my first series box (it was cheap so **** it) now let's hope I don't lose fingers to an unfortunate venting accident haha
Then next week I will have a bunch of DIY juice supplys on the way.
The quad tvf4 coil has the best flavor but it literally drinks the freaking . ...I use the rba deck primarily but the dual Clapton coil is .4ohms so you can get decent flavor at 50-60 watts and it just gulps the juice instead of guzzling it ....absurd I know you said you didn't want to build your own could but if you have the time open the rba deck you got from the smok it already d has a clapton coil attached in it all you have to do is run some cotton through it .....who knows you might love it

Im not sure yet, haha, I just ordered it. now i gotta sit around and play the waiting game :p
Im hoping its good, Im going with the RDA too so that i can swap out juice flavors quicker for when i start making some juice to test.

If I get a tfv4 mini as a 2nd tank which coils should I go for? Too many ****ing options. I know I don't want nickel because I have a bunch for my crown.
SS, clapton and tri coils.

To use the Temp Control features, you need to use either the NI or TI coils.
But if your interested in trying the power control features, the S6 looks the most interesting.
The problem with the s6 is they burn out quick because of how they're assembled.
Oh and they just added more coils for the tfv4 line. 8core, triple clapton rba (so I guess just triple rba), and quad clapton (similar to the tri coils they released with). So uh, try those too?
Also, reauleaux might be end game for me. The dna, at least mentally feels more accurate for tc, but they're both solid on battery life and power mode. Now to find a skin for the dna that doesn't look like ass

how is the battery life on reauleaux? I dont need TC or anything fancy, battery life has been my new obsession. Are 3 18650's really lasting that long? not to mention the design is sleek AF.

I am veeeeeeerrrryyy impressed I just started wrapping my own clapton using different wire for the core but my favorite so far has been with a nichrome and also tried a stainless steel core as it's allowing me to use temp control with my claptons and the flavor has been pretty insane

I get ~2 days of vaping at 80w chaining the crap out of it. It's almost constantly in my hand, unless I'm typing or soldering. I'm done looking at stuff once I try the new herakles plus tank that everyone loves.

Ceramic instead of metal for coils? That's interesting. A more even and consistent heat should mean longer coil use. But I'd be unsurprised if they're priced in some kind of obscene bracket, too. I might keep an eye out for it, the maganus was a decent tank, so there's a bit of pedigree there. But really before I went sub-ohm and watching youtube vids daily/weekly, I'd used an mvp for like 2 years with aspire tanks. I wore the buttons out is the only reason I'm not still using it.

Do any Canadians have a suggestion for a site that sells good liquid AND coils for a subtank mini? I'm looking to change my liquids up a bit, but I'm not too sure on a good vendor to go with. It would be best if they also sell coils, because I don't want to pay for shipping twice. :))
Where in BC you located? Any local vape shops? Best advice I got was to go to every vape shop in a 20 mile radius and try ****.
I live in the Okanagan, Penticton to be exact. There are no vape shops in my town yet. There's a hemp shop that sells liquid but they don't have any 100% VG liquids, and high PG sucks in sub-ohm tanks in my experience. They also carry only crap tanks and batteries, and no coils - they told me everyone usually just buys another tank when the coil goes. :))
There should be an Atomic Vapor shop here in a couple months. Mechsauce looks cool, but I don't know if they will work for me since they're based in the US. I've heard it's difficult to get nicotine liquids across the border, a lot of people say they get turned back at customs.
In other news, I've been having a bad experience with my tank. Has anyone else had any problems with the Kanger Subtank Mini? I've been repeatedly burning coils no matter what I do.. I've been priming, and dropping liquid onto the coil before I install it. It even burns at minimum power. I can't get a coil to last longer than two days, no matter what I do. I've been looking at other sub-ohm tanks, but there aren't many that fit into my batteries power range (30w max). I'm tempted to buy another Subtank but I don't want to end up with another tank that does this. I've been smoking cigarettes again for the last month or so because I can't get the tank working properly. I really loved this tank when it was working properly though..
Does anyone have any suggestions for a new sub-ohm tank? I've never tried building coils before. The only other option seems like the Aspire Atlantis.

My buddy has the Atlantis v2 and loves it. He's used it both without and with TC, and won't stop singing it's praises.
I've a Subtank Mini, and haven't had any issues with burning coils, however same previously mentioned buddy had a Subtank Mega and was constantly burning through coils. I'm usually running the .5ohm coils @ 40W and it hits really solid, no spitting or dry hits.
What ohm coils are you going with? Have you tried the new style coils yet? How many watts are you pushing? I usually make sure that I prime them with a decent amount of liquid, maybe try more?

I've been using the 1.2ohm, but I do use 0.5ohm's as well. I prefer the 0.5, but I found the 1.2 lasted longer. The last time I bought coils, I bought the new style of coil. Same problem with both the old and new coils. For power, I used to use 21 watts on both .5 and 1.2, but now if I do 21 they burn almost instantly. on the minimum wattage for 1.2 (15w I think?), I get a couple days of half-decent vaping. I've primed them until they've flooded and they still burnt. Honestly, it's such a frustrating problem. All I want is to not smoke cigarettes. :))
I'll take a look into the Atlantis V2. I've heard good things about some of the sub-ohm tanks that have come out since I bought the Subtank, but only the Atlantis and Subtank seem to fit into the power range of my iTaste MVP3.

Hmm, it's long past the window for me to return it, as it worked fine for the first long while - but that's the same problem I'm having, minus the sputtering and popping. It does flood once in a while though. Maybe I'd have better luck with another Subtank Mini? I love everything about it except this problem. When it was working, it was the best thing ever. :blank:
I'll have to get a new tank later though, as I'm pretty broke. I've been hand rolling cigarettes because I'm a poor ass college student right now. :))

I felt like I wasn't getting enough power from my Ti coils in temp control mode, so i switched to power control mode. I was doing this for like a week, and just came across a post on a forum about how you should NEVER use TI/NI in power control modes, and it can be incredibly bad for both you and the coil.
Now, this was not something i knew. When looking at reviews for the eVic VT that I'm using I had seen reviews put it in power mode for the Ti or Ni coils and didn't think anything of it. But after some googling it turns out the guy on the forums was right.
Luckily I am going to be building my own coils soon enough (When ever my stuff arrives) and I will be using Kanthal so I will be fine, but more as a warning for other people still semi-new like me, do not use your Ni or Ti coils in power control modes.
On the other hand, Almost all my stuff is set to arrive very soon. Some today and some on Monday, I'm very excited!

I like the dna better for TC still, it feels a lot more accurate, but watt mode they feel very similar.

mechsauce "Cosmic V": Very light lemonade flavor with a hint of blueberry on exhale. So much easier on throat than the Vapor Chef "Trillian". Def opting for the much cheaper and tastier mechsauce.
mechsauce "Mech Mint": WAY too ****ing minty. Do not buy. Takes forever to get it out of your tank. Opting for Vapor Chef's "Vanill-O-Mint" for sure.
mechsauce "2000 Berries": Tastes like a mixed berry sorbet. NOT too sweet at all for a berry flavor. Will order again.
mechsauce "Grape Drank": Tastes exactly like you think. A bit on the sweet side.
Detroit Rock Candy "Trip": Got this on that mystery $5 dealy. Smells and tastes like cotton candy. Not an ADV for sure, but maybe a nice change-up for dessert.

Anyone else have weird 510 issues with a tugbox? Sometimes mine doesn't fire, I found the issue and fixed it but I still didn't think the authentic would have any issues.
Funny you say that, my tugbox clone has the same issue and I have found taking off the rda and putting it back on fixes the issue, but when I looked closely I can't seem to find the cause for it. It's a very simple circuit. One theory is that some e liquid gets caught between the center screw and spring loaded 510 post and causes a gap thus breaking the electrical connection. This is somewhat likely as there is movement due to being spring loaded and VG is a very thick juice. I will make some grooves on the surface of the 510 to try to allow for juice to move out of the way (similar to the way tires have tread to allow water to move out of the way to stop a layer from forming and maintain grip) and maybe increase the pressure of the spring.
In other news I ordered some milk man juice to see what all the fuss is about. And Black 'n' Blue from T Juice is amazing. I mixed it with some 100% VG and nicotine and let it seep for 2 weeks and the flavour is amazing.
I need to get a 200 watt VW/TC mod but I can't seem to decide on one. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to go spending to over the top

Funny you say that, my tugbox clone has the same issue and I have found taking off the rda and putting it back on fixes the issue, but when I looked closely I can't seem to find the cause for it. It's a very simple circuit. One theory is that some e liquid gets caught between the center screw and spring loaded 510 post and causes a gap thus breaking the electrical connection. This is somewhat likely as there is movement due to being spring loaded and VG is a very thick juice. I will make some grooves on the surface of the 510 to try to allow for juice to move out of the way (similar to the way tires have tread to allow water to move out of the way to stop a layer from forming and maintain grip) and maybe increase the pressure of the spring.
I actually know what the issue is and how to fix it, give me a bit to take some pictures. :thumb:

Sorry for the vertical picture, it was easier to hold my phone like that. :p

If you look at the red wire and follow it to the bottom of the 510 connector you'll see it attaches to a small pin that is seated a tube, this is the spring loaded part of the 510 that makes contact with the bottom of your RDA/RTA/tank/whatever. From what I've seen after playing with it the small pin attached to the red wire is a bit too small, leading to a bad connection. The solution is moving the red wire around until it forces the small pin to bind in the tube, this has no affect on the adjustability of the 510 and it still works with all my RDAs.

I see what you mean. I will try that, thanks for looking into it It's funny because my clone has identical parts to your authentic. And its painted on the inside of the case. I'd go as far to say its slightly better quality

In other news I ordered some milk man juice to see what all the fuss is about. And Black 'n' Blue from T Juice is amazing. I mixed it with some 100% VG and nicotine and let it seep for 2 weeks and the flavour is amazing.
I need to get a 200 watt VW/TC mod but I can't seem to decide on one. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to go spending to over the top
Depending on your budget:
reauleaux rx200 - $60

hmm, pretty subjective i guess. I don't really taste them. maybe because i change my coils every two days

Yeah, it most definitely drinks up the juice. I dialed it back to 45w for a bit cooler hits but i wasn't getting any coughing no matter how high i went when i was testing.
Good flavors though!

It sounds to me like you might need to open up your tank airflow or take a different kind of inhale when you vape those coils. I haven't messed with them in particular, but usually if I'm coughing and it's not because I took a drag of too high nic, it's because the air/juice ratio is screwy. Additionally, don't try TC on the clapton coils for the tfv4, they're not made of a wire that works in TC. Only stainless steel, ni200 and ti are compatible at the moment.
Edit: Just found a trial pack of everything but the three newest coils - http://sweet-vapes.com/tanks/smoktech/smoktech-coils/tfv4bigfamily.html

Word. I just wanted a 2nd tank so I can switch between juices on the fly. Also wanted to try something new for $25.
I just read two reviews that said 70W is the best for this pre-installed coil. I feel like its gonna melt my face off haha.

I can't chain pull on it. It gets too hot. Will try the rba single clapton after I wear this coil down.well let me throw a tad in the sampler I'm sending also sorry about slacking I have been waiting on something . the deadly sin is a sweet very smooth tobaco but it's definitely not for everyone. On another note I almost have it away because when I first got it I couldn't even vape it haha after 2 weeks of steepi g it's my favorite juice. The whole steeping deal is definitely not a myth
Will try the deadly sin. Cheap enough to be worth a test. Thanks for recommendation.

Going to try steeping a 30ml bottle vs just puffing it straight away. Also going to try a 6-12 hour "breathing" test.

Don't apologize. I can wait for my surprise package. <3

Some juices definitely need to be steeped, Mt. Baker immediately comes to mind. I ordered a couple bottles from them last year and they were quite frankly awful when I got them. I let them steep for about 3 months and they were wayyyyyyyy better.

I'm not the biggest fan of the sapor, but #rollolife. Also, I'm kinda loving the new herakles plus
I got my vaporshark dna200 listed for sale on reddit for $180 shipped, so if someone here is interested, feel free to pm me.

Also... monitor heat steeping?

They've been going downhill so bad lately, it's such a shame. I really like their products, but I mean finish peeling after a month? Plus their site got hacked and leaked a whole bunch of CC info. Really wish it didn't come to this

I did NOT change the wattage on all the TC modes when I first got it. Today I accidentally pressed 3 times and it switched to 200W TC without me noticing... until I fired and it instantly burnt up my coil and cotton and throat and lungs. Hahahaha.
Also more mechsauce review:
"Antidote" - Disgusting. Supposed to be strawberry shortcake ice cream bar. Naaaasty.
"Berry Sabotage" - Again proves that I hate milk/cream flavors. Tastes just like described and it isn't a good vape flavor. Crunch berries sounded so enticing.
"Waterhog" - Good, not great. VERY light watermelon flavor.
"Cosmic V" is still my go-to from there so far.

Funny thing it is technically smaller than my sigelei. It is much shorter... same height as evic mini. It is just 1 battery wider and much heavier. It doesn't have the grippy case the sigelei has, though, and with the extra weight I almost dropped it a few times. I'd say I could fit it in about half of the pairs of pants/jeans I own without it being too tight to get out on the regular. Gonna try lugging it around NYC tomorrow.

Interesting. I currently don't find my evic bulky to carry around (aside from the occasional tfv tank leaks).
I got some Christmas shopping to finish up this weekend but after that I'll see if I can pick on up, and some more batteries because I only have 2 lol.

So far I've managed to get 5 people to switch from ciggs to vapes, and all of them couldn't be happier.
absyrd, what flavor types do you normally go for?
Good on you for getting people away from the cancer sticks. I only wish I tried vaping years ago before quitting multiple times after buying chantix at $270 per pop.
I been trying every flavor I can from mechsauce. Some of the berries are just okay, but mostly gross. I think my taste buds are still ****ed up weeks later after smoking 10 cigs a day for a little while.
I really need a good tobacco, I think, for morning coffee.
Gotta be done soon testing as I think I'll just keep two crowns going at once: one with Vanill-O-Mint from Vapor Chef and one with Cosmic V from mechsauce. Such a shame about Mech Mint being way too ****ing minty as it is waaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper.

ahhh haha yours looks so much sexier then mine 8) sapor is such a great rda at first I was not impressed with it at all and then one day I accidently fired it about 20 watts higher then I normally do and it sprang to life ...dosent matter what type of coil set up I use it takes 10-30more watts in the sapor then in any other tank or rda with the exact same setup. It might have something to do with the top down airflow !!!
damn you sed8 and TJShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/ajLyr6P.jpg)
Why I love the sapor
An authentic in a variety of colors for less then $30 got mine for $12 from fasttech.
Huge well that holds a decent amount of juice
The screwdriver hex tool that comes with it is THE **** seriously I would almost but it just for the tool haha
Comes with a drip tip adapter to fit your favorite drip tips (however the chuff top that comes with it really hits better then most tips I have tried)...
And my favorite is the thing is ALMOST leak proof :thumb: I can't tell you how stoked I am to find an rda I can leave on my mod and yet toss in my purse !!!!
Also @ PD thanks again for getting me into this new hobby as I haven't had this much fun collecting and enjoying a hobby since I got into mech keyboards 8) sorry for the wall of text

I'm surprised you didn't like antidote. Are you sure you let it steep long enough? Because it's definitely one of my favorite flavors.
Cosmic V is great, but definitely not an ADV for me.

Nice and flavorful.don't forget the uwell crown has stainless steel coils which can be used in tc mode if your device supports SS TC !

Don't worry about it. Power is power, so long as it fires the coil at the advertised power levels, does it really make that much of a difference? This is not a sarcastic or **** comment, but an actual question. The only devices I have had are the MVP 2.0, the istick 30 and the TC40.

Post by: Melvang on Mon, 21 December 2015, 19:31:43
I think I might be in the market for a new mod, and am looking for suggestions.
I do have a couple requirements and very important stats.
Battery life is the biggest consideration. Also temp control is a must for Ni200. Price needs to be under 100USD but would like to stay under 75. The one other requirement is no externally charged battery. I vape fairly often with it on the charger.
Some mods I have found that input would be great on is the following
Smok X M80 pro. Pros 4400mah battery with very reasonable price.
Joyetech eVic VT. Pros 5000mah battery, legit DNA chip probably find it for under 100
Are there any other mods that would fit my requirements, or should I pick one of these and run?
Yes I would entertain buying used from here provided it hasn't been used long due to non replaceable batteries.

I currently have the eVic VT and its a great mod, the battery life is amazing in TC mode and still very good at high level VW mode. It also charges pretty quick even with the large battery.
The only issues I have with it are the 60w max power for VW mode, since ive been getting into RBAs and RDAs 60w just isnt enough. It also only supports NI & TI temp control so no SS coils sadly.
If your not a power chaser, then its definitely a great mod. I got mine for ~60$ including a eGo one MEGA tank whos titanium coils are great for TC.

I do have a couple requirements and very important stats.
Battery life is the biggest consideration. Also temp control is a must for Ni200. Price needs to be under 100USD but would like to stay under 75. The one other requirement is no externally charged battery. I vape fairly often with it on the charger.
Some mods I have found that input would be great on is the following
Smok X M80 pro. Pros 4400mah battery with very reasonable price.
Joyetech eVic VT. Pros 5000mah battery, legit DNA chip probably find it for under 100
Are there any other mods that would fit my requirements, or should I pick one of these and run?
Yes I would entertain buying used from here provided it hasn't been used long due to non replaceable batteries.
I currently have the eVic VT and its a great mod, the battery life is amazing in TC mode and still very good at high level VW mode. It also charges pretty quick even with the large battery.
The only issues I have with it are the 60w max power for VW mode, since ive been getting into RBAs and RDAs 60w just isnt enough. It also only supports NI & TI temp control so no SS coils sadly.
If your not a power chaser, then its definitely a great mod. I got mine for ~60$ including a eGo one MEGA tank whos titanium coils are great for TC.
Thanks for the vote. I am not worried about the 60w limitation for RBAs and RDAs as I only use tanks due to long days at work. I am enjoying TC so I will be using it in that mode. Curently looking at picking up the Uwell Crown black edition for a new mod.

Thanks guys, I pulled the trigger for an evic VT in black with red and a crown in black. Both from vapordna.com. also picked up a few extra tc coils for it.
Nice! You will not be disappointed. I rarely get anywhere even near 60W, so that is a fine mod in my eyes.

Wattage really wasn't a concern, it was the mAh that was my number one priority, in a built in battery. Just don't feel like delving into that rabbit hole.

Haha. My wyfe loves how the house smells like lemonade, berries, mint, etc. Doesn't mind the clouds at all.
How you like the crown?
And mechsauce.com messed up an order, so to make up for it they sent me 100ml of Cosmic V.
I went back to try some other stuff and got 5% off for being return customer. Orangesicle, key lime, and berries otw. Will review when they get here.

I just finished up a Schwartz Doom Pie (key lime), and it definitely needed to steep longer than normal. Let me know how you like it.

So I tried one of the Ni200 coils in my Crown, and don't care for the flavor near as much as the stainless coils. I am using the eVic VT that maxes out at 60 watts. Which coils would you guy recommend. have yet to see Ti coils for the Crown as the mod supports TC with those, but yeah. Would I be ok running the .25 ohm coils or should I stick with the .5 ohm?
You are totally fine running the .25 SS. I need to run them side by side to test them against each other as I have both, but right now I have the ni200 in one and don't mind it at all.

I have a vape shop by me that does replacements on most standard sized glass for $3. Unfortunately my tank is apparently fat AF because they only had 1 peice that fit. Then literally 30 seconds ago I noticed some juice on the outside of the glass; upon closer inspection my replacement now has a hairline fracture. Could be that the fall threw my tank a bit out of line.

I started off with an evic mini and horizon Arctic tank. The stock one with the mini was terrible in my opinion. Even from a starters stand point it was junk.

You might like the new kbox 70 with either the crown, herakles plus or aspire cleito if you can find it. Maybe even the new arctic v8 if you want to stay with what you know. Other mod options:
evic mini (you can find mod only around fairly easy)

Hot water steeping seems to work pretty well, not 100% as good as just letting it sit for a few days. But its helpful. Made my looper taste and smell less like toothpaste.
Also, Detroit Rock Candy 'Creme Soda' is AMAZING after a hot water steep, tastes exactly like Faygo Creme Soda.

For my new Triton II, I've tried everything for priming. The last coil I basically flooded with priming, dripping a lot directly onto the coil and then leaving it to sit for ten minutes.. as soon as I vaped it enough that it was done flooding, it burnt. They burn whether I'm under the recommended wattage or not.. I started on 9w for a 1.8ohm Triton II coil, and it burnt anyway. I can't even slowly ramp up to the recommended wattage. :))
I have no coils left, but I will be picking some more up soon (probably the Ni200 Temp Control coils for the Triton II). Starting to feel like I have no other choice but to smoke cigarettes though. :blank:
My setup looks like this right now:
Vape 1. Subtank Mini with the newer model 1.2ohm coils, iTaste MVP3 30w
Vape 2. Triton II with 0.5 Clapton coils, Sigelei 150w Temp Control with Sony VTC4s
Max VG liquid, various sources, all the same results. Same results on 50/50 liquid too.
Thanks in advance for any help guys, it would be really appreciated.. gonna go have a smoke. :))

Couple things when you go to a new coil, start at about half.power of what you normally would. Slowly ramp this up to full power over a couple hours. High VG juice or s ver thick and you will have problems wicking this in about any tank unless it has large juice holes. Once you do burn one, it has a chance to impart that flavor into the rest of the tank. That happened to.me one time. I ran 50/50 juice until this crown tank. I had an offer for some 70/30 VG/PG and it wicks fine in my Crown, but that has fairly large juice holes and excellent.air flow.

Hmm, I was ramping it up over half an hour or so, I'll try taking it even slower. But, with the .5 Triton Claptons, the recommended power is 40-45w, and I burnt one at 25w with my Sigelei. Much lower on that coil, and it won't really fire.
How long do you wait in between draws when you're using high VG? Do you chain vape, or wait 30 seconds or so?
I try to stay away from PG liquids, I don't like the feel of PG in a sub-ohm tank. They felt better to me in something like the Nautilus, because of PG's harsher throat hit. I know what you mean by a burnt coil imparting the taste to the rest of the liquid, it's gross and I dump the liquid out after.
So I guess my problem is probably wicking.. the thing is, other people seem to be having success on the same tanks and coils with high VG. :confused:
I slapped together a probably badly built coil using my Subtank Mini RBA deck, and I'm having better luck over the last couple hours. Maybe a solution for me could be a dripper? I would probably use my Sigelei a bit closer to it's full potential too. I'd still really like to use pre-built coils for convenience though..
Thanks for the response Melvang. :thumb:

Couple things when you go to a new coil, start at about half.power of what you normally would. Slowly ramp this up to full power over a couple hours. High VG juice or s ver thick and you will have problems wicking this in about any tank unless it has large juice holes. Once you do burn one, it has a chance to impart that flavor into the rest of the tank. That happened to.me one time. I ran 50/50 juice until this crown tank. I had an offer for some 70/30 VG/PG and it wicks fine in my Crown, but that has fairly large juice holes and excellent.air flow.
Hmm, I was ramping it up over half an hour or so, I'll try taking it even slower. But, with the .5 Triton Claptons, the recommended power is 40-45w, and I burnt one at 25w with my Sigelei. Much lower on that coil, and it won't really fire.
How long do you wait in between draws when you're using high VG? Do you chain vape, or wait 30 seconds or so?
I try to stay away from PG liquids, I don't like the feel of PG in a sub-ohm tank. They felt better to me in something like the Nautilus, because of PG's harsher throat hit. I know what you mean by a burnt coil imparting the taste to the rest of the liquid, it's gross and I dump the liquid out after.
So I guess my problem is probably wicking.. the thing is, other people seem to be having success on the same tanks and coils with high VG. :confused:
I slapped together a probably badly built coil using my Subtank Mini RBA deck, and I'm having better luck over the last couple hours. Maybe a solution for me could be a dripper? I would probably use my Sigelei a bit closer to it's full potential too. I'd still really like to use pre-built coils for convenience though..
Thanks for the response Melvang. :thumb:
Also, when I am priming a new coil, I hold the coil at an angle and drip juice onto the cotton until it soaks in, drip a bit more. I keep doing this until the juice sits on top. Then I put a drop on each juice hole and install in the tank. After filling the tank befornthe first hit, I close off the air flow as much as possible, block with my fingers and pull until I don't dlsee bubbles anymore. Then I start with low powered very short hits for an hour or so.
Even with the 70/30 VG/PG, I haven't had troubles chain vaping on breaks at work. Even outside in sub freezing weather.the only time I have had wicking issue in the cold was with the same mix, but using an iClear X1 tank.
Also, some flavors kill coils fast. This seems to be a common problem with coffee and chocolate flavors. I hat a coffee flavor that would kill iClear X1 coils in a hlaf hour. Any other juice, I could.go 2 weeks.

Looking to pick up a Velocity RDA, a Mutation X rta and a Aromamizer soon too. Possibly a brass/copper mech too if someone has a suggestion.
Also I'm getting much better at building coils and am loving the hell out of my RDAs because of it. Mastered making twisted coils and they are amazing for flavor.

@TJ
I got a 22mm kennedy a bit before. Xmas and have had a hard time putting it down so I know how you feel !
Also what type of SS wire do you use ? I was using 316l til I learned about 430 and now use 430 almost exclusively (except if I'm making a mixed wire (twisted/Clapton etc) I found a really good deal at www.unkamensupplies.com 200ft for $10 !!

Hey guys, I need some help. I don't know what I'm ****ing up but I'm still burning coils within a few hours.. on my new tank, pretty much instantly. What do you guys generally do when you set up a new coil in a Subtank or Triton II, etc?
For my new Triton II, I've tried everything for priming. The last coil I basically flooded with priming, dripping a lot directly onto the coil and then leaving it to sit for ten minutes.. as soon as I vaped it enough that it was done flooding, it burnt. They burn whether I'm under the recommended wattage or not.. I started on 9w for a 1.8ohm Triton II coil, and it burnt anyway. I can't even slowly ramp up to the recommended wattage. :))
I have no coils left, but I will be picking some more up soon (probably the Ni200 Temp Control coils for the Triton II). Starting to feel like I have no other choice but to smoke cigarettes though. :blank:
My setup looks like this right now:
Vape 1. Subtank Mini with the newer model 1.2ohm coils, iTaste MVP3 30w
Vape 2. Triton II with 0.5 Clapton coils, Sigelei 150w Temp Control with Sony VTC4s
Max VG liquid, various sources, all the same results. Same results on 50/50 liquid too.
Thanks in advance for any help guys, it would be really appreciated.. gonna go have a smoke. :))
Couple things when you go to a new coil, start at about half.power of what you normally would. Slowly ramp this up to full power over a couple hours. High VG juice or s ver thick and you will have problems wicking this in about any tank unless it has large juice holes. Once you do burn one, it has a chance to impart that flavor into the rest of the tank. That happened to.me one time. I ran 50/50 juice until this crown tank. I had an offer for some 70/30 VG/PG and it wicks fine in my Crown, but that has fairly large juice holes and excellent.air flow.
Hmm, I was ramping it up over half an hour or so, I'll try taking it even slower. But, with the .5 Triton Claptons, the recommended power is 40-45w, and I burnt one at 25w with my Sigelei. Much lower on that coil, and it won't really fire.
How long do you wait in between draws when you're using high VG? Do you chain vape, or wait 30 seconds or so?
I try to stay away from PG liquids, I don't like the feel of PG in a sub-ohm tank. They felt better to me in something like the Nautilus, because of PG's harsher throat hit. I know what you mean by a burnt coil imparting the taste to the rest of the liquid, it's gross and I dump the liquid out after.

Thanks for the detailed response Melvang. I was aware of coffee/chocolate/other dark flavours gunking up coils faster. I really dig coffee flavours, but I haven't used any since I was on my Nautilus.
I think my problem was a combo of hitting hard, and using VG liquids. I primed the **** out of my coils, and still burnt them, but I did have better luck when I closed the air off completely and drew on it till no more bubbles came up.
I solved all of my problems by just buying an RDA, the Wotofo Lush. I'm loving it, I built a .5ohm dual coil and have been dripping hard for the last while with zero problems. The hit is way more satisfying too, I think this is what I was looking for in vaping.
The RDA is way, way, way cheaper than buying coils too, I might sell my used twice Triton II, or trade it for another RDA if someone wants to. Not sure on where to sell or trade other than here though. :))
You might try a lower nic level. I had a lot of issues with coils tasting burned almost immediately when I ran 12+ nic. Also, you might want to experiment with different air flow settings and inhaling techniques. I can't really think of any reason otherwise why you would consistently be running into this problem.
Thanks for the tip on nic levels, I didn't consider that. I'll keep that in mind for the future. I think it was a combo of high-VG/nic/big draws.
Thanks to everyone for all the help, much appreciated! :-*

Got some more stuff, some more juices, ordered ~200ML of juice from Jokerejuice on a sale they are having, some VTC5 batteries and a Herakles Plus tank.
Damn this thing is nice, the ones who are recommending it, you are right. Great tank. Granted it drinks juice just as bad as the TFV4, but thats not a huge deal. Flavor is amazing with the SS coils.
100ml if juice is only 16$ on Jokerejuice if you're looking for some good deals.
EDIT: Ianis, where them stands at :P with my RDA/tank collection growing im running out of space!

Well... mt baker vapor is delicious. HOWEVER, watch out for getting double shots of extra flavor. The reviews said to, and I think those people are ****ing nuts. TOO STRONK.
And the citrus flavors all separated from the vg and pg and left clumpy **** in my tank. Had to rubbing alcohol cleanse them both.
Yeah, i got my Mt Baker Vapor and so far the Barvarian Creme is pretty good. But surprisingly 'Pink Champagne' is effing delicious, like wow its good. Reviews later, but that my initial impression of the ones ive tried.
I also got 'Butter Toffee' and 'Salacious Strawberry', i havent tried them yet, but they had a smell like they may benefit from some steeping.
Didnt get the 10ml sample that they claim to put in every order though.

I'm running .25 SS coils in just regular power mode @ 40W on my realeaux, and it turns out I'm going through a coil per week at least. The taste when they go bad is so ****ing horrible I almost puke. I even brush my teeth and can still taste it. Should I try TC with them? What temp and wattage?
I'd give TC a shot. It's crazy how consistent it is.
Usually I'd recommend starting at around 420, and going up from there until the juice tastes the best. With TC they use Joules rather than wattage, which is essentially the ramp up time for the temps. Usually 40-50J will be fine.

Okay. Washed out and replaced coils on all 3 tanks. Tried 5 diff liquids with varying levels of nic and VG and PG. Everything tastes and smells like ****. dgneo suggested maybe "Vaper's Tongue". Pretty sure that is my problem. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Wanna puke...
Time to mix it up with a dripper/new juice. I find myself rotating tanks/rdas/juices very frequently. (Also, Pink Champagne from MtBaker, could vape that non-stop)

Git my Joker Ejuice in recently, the kings custard is pretty great it came pre-steeped which was nice but my 3mg cake batter was fresh and had a plastic taste to it. The 0mg for my wife didnt have this problem and was pretty good. The website says it should steep for a week or two, so we will see how that goes.

Ship to work? I can't remember if that's a Texas or vape gear + courier requirement now. I know they sell crown coils, but it may only be in store instead of online.

Any suggestions for a site that has quality single, two fruit, or simple flavor profiles for decent prices that also stocks coils for the crown tank?
https://www.myvapingoutlet.com/
If you also want a good premium line to look at, check out the ktb line. I like all the flavors available. Otherwise, the entire house line is good, too.
Didn't see any coils for the Uwell Crown. Also, the required signature doesn't work well for me. I frequently work an hour from home, don't get paid time off, and wife works full time.
Ship to work? I can't remember if that's a Texas or vape gear + courier requirement now. I know they sell crown coils, but it may only be in store instead of online.

The problem with shipping to work, is I work in a construction trade and don't even know if I am working in my home state on a week to week basis.

Mech Sauce (http://mechsauce.com/) is my goto for juice. I haven't bout coils in about a year since I've only been using drippers or rebuildable tanks.

They don't sell any coils, I don't want to buy coils and juice from two different sites for shipping reasons. Dripping isn't viable for me with my job, and I don't want to get into rebuildables at this point as I just stepped down to .3% and am using this as a method to get off ciggs, not as a hobby.

Just want to point out that building coils is MUCH cheaper as well as it will help you dial in your preference (thus making it easier to quit, trust me)

I have been off traditional ciggs for over a year now. Just switched to a new setup. Looking for a place with coils for it and at least decent juice. I tried Mech Sauce, both mech milk and medusa milk and was a bit underwhelmed by the flavor. Not bad, just not what I am looking for.

Fair enough. Empress Milk (http://mechsauce.com/empress-milk/) if by far my favorite juice. Ever. But everyone has their own taste.
Give Vapor DNA a shot (http://www.vapordna.com/Default.asp) the Prototype and Millennium Potion (http://www.vapordna.com/Millenium-Potion-E-Juice-s/1900.htm) are their own juice and the flavor is pretty great, but the PG is too high for my taste but their Peach and Strawberry are some of my favorites.

Yeah, those are the coils, that is actually where I bought the tank and my evic VT from, don't know why I didn't think of them. So far, I am having good luck with 70%VG wicking alright. Kind of paranoid about going thicker as I have to go outside to vape at work. I work in a lot of food grade facilities, so technically, I can't even have my vape in my pocket. When I ordered that stuff, I got a free bottle of the butterscotch, flavor was spot on, very little throat hit (good for me right now), but man was it rich.n I ended up cutting the flavor with some french vanilla.

I left my Ni200 at home and accidentally threw in Kanthal A1 instead. I've been on it for a month and a half. 4 days ago I ran out of cotton. I have been reusing used bits. Its horrible and its got some dry burn marks on it. We haven't been into town for over a week so I can't even get make up wipes or nuffin. Down to my last 15ml of juice. And I leave mid feb. D: All the rest of my orders have turned up at my house but I have to wait around a month before I head back. It is very bad at the moment
Edit: Knowing that I have over 2L of juice and fresh cotton at home makes me want to cry

Tugbox 510 Spring Pin Issue
Sorry for the vertical picture, it was easier to hold my phone like that. :pMore
If you look at the red wire and follow it to the bottom of the 510 connector you'll see it attaches to a small pin that is seated a tube, this is the spring loaded part of the 510 that makes contact with the bottom of your RDA/RTA/tank/whatever. From what I've seen after playing with it the small pin attached to the red wire is a bit too small, leading to a bad connection. The solution is moving the red wire around until it forces the small pin to bind in the tube, this has no affect on the adjustability of the 510 and it still works with all my RDAs.
(Attachment Link)
^ ****ty diagram of what I'm saying.
I was wrong about this issue, the tolerances were actually ok. The issue has gotten worse and worse so earlier today I poked around and found that where the red wire meets the pin was a cold solder/ really ****ty solder job. After I redid the joint it works exactly as it did out of the box.

Honestly, why is this a thing now?I was never a fan of the word vape. But to sort of answer your question, electronic cigarettes where supposedly developed by a man in China (2003) who lost his father to lung cancer. I lost my dad to the lung cancer as well (2012). Thankfully I was able to quit smoking due to controlled E-cig use, and determination. Some people just like the alternative. Technically E-cigs are a healthier alternative to burning real tobacco, although, there is plenty evidence that Nicotine by itself does a lot of damage to the human body. I'm not a doctor of health so take all this with a bowl of chicken noodle soup (or vegetable).

Its a Max VG only blend. I think the actual values are like 83VG/17PG or something very close to that.

Just a quick question; wouldn't copper RDAs be a bad idea? A couple of my friends that vape have them, and I was wondering about the safety of them.I could see an issue with any liquid that contains a high PG mixture touching a soft metal like copper. I've only used stainless steal devices and parts so I'm not exactly sure but if you meant using copper to build a coil.. yikes. Anyone remember that Mythbusters jailbreak experiment involving salsa?

As far tank goes I would like it to hold at least 3ml of juice, RBA and not a dripper. Really like my Subtank but want something that easier to build, not a lot of space on the RBA deck. Other than that I really like the Subtank!
As far as mod goes I just want something like the Tugboat by Flawless, really like that splatter effect but I dont want to pay for a tank I wont use. As long as its not naked metal on the outside Im happy really. Ideally under $100

Im interested in getting a new mechanical mod and tank for it. Been rocking a StringRay clone with a Subtank mini for like a year and would like something that isnt covered in metal. Any tips?If you do buy a mechanical mod make sure you buy a handful of 'fuses' or a Kick (by Smoktech - variable wattage w/circuit protection) to protect yourself from battery malfunction. If it doesn't have a vent at the bottom don't buy it. These giant rechargeable batteries can be hazardous if they don't have something to break the circuit when a problem starts. If you decide to go with something different try to stay away from knock off products. Remember the 'hoverboards'.

I ordered 236 more of 3mg AND 6mg. They both taste like rubbing alcohol.
I complained and they told me to wait 6 ****ing weeks for a bottle that size to steep (after the first bottle required no steeping). Wtf?

MBV isn't a great place to get juice from. It's terribly inconsistent.

Welp.. I'm finally joining the vape club. It's time.
Starting off with a Kanger Subvox Mini kit.. it seemed nice enough for a beginner. And got a whole ton of small bottles of juices to try from different places online, along with extra coils, and even a pretty decal for it ;) What have I gotten myself into.. First mechanical keyboards, then expensive coffee, then fountain pens and inks.. now this. All these hobbies are gonna get me living on the street homeless LOL
I know how you feel. Although switching from cigs to vape has saved be quite a bit of money, which I promptly started spending on keyboards =P
As a collector AND a hoarder (of sorts), vapes has had me spend a LOT of money on setups and ridiculous builds. I'm sure I'm not alone here =P

Hey guys. Got a question for you. I made my first clapton build the other day. 34 over single 24. Dual 5 wrap on a 3mm post. The flavor is great, but it takes a bit too long to heat up. Any suggestions going forward? Maybe a smaller diameter or less wraps? Looking for a good combination of flavor and vapor production.I got this tip to try nichrone from punks nichrome heats faster then kanthal so try a Clapton with a 26 guage nichrome core with with 32g kanthal wrapping. I started with those however I have moved on to pretty much straight stainless steel now which ramps much faster then kanthal but also has a much lower resistance so I love stainless Clapton's but unfortunately they are not for everyone as they give such a low resistance
I picked up some Vape gear awhile ago (magma reborn a reauleaux dna200 and a Kennedy 24) but have had to cut my budget due to some recent money issues .....I'm a first time mom and its been kind of a shock for me adjusting (also a single mother) so I apologize if I haven't been around or answering peoples PMS I love you all and I will be back but me and Arianna are still trying to figure this whole thing out !!
Keep vaping everyone

Congrats on the little one and thanks for the info. I might try the SS. Just threw together a 4 wrap 2mm build and I have to say, MUCH better! Came in at 0.16Ω, just above the limit for the VTC4's. I usually use a straight 5wrap/3mm 24 gauge build (0.26Ω) on my regulated box, but wanted to do something different for my new mech (something that the box wouldn't necessarily be able to handle).

Yea, there's no way I'm running anything as high as 1.5Ω. That's way too high of a resistance for me to be happy with. 0.15Ω - 0.25Ω seems to be my happy zone, depending on the setup. Honestly, idk how anyone could be vaping in the 2+Ω range.

Its just too large, the fit & finish on it is terrible, and i thought i would enjoy escribe, but meh. I never touch it because i hardly ever use TC. I currently get like 4 days out of a set of batteries.

The 510 thing is another reason I'm out, and their response has made me not want any joyetech/Wismec products. But my normal Vape set up is currently a Wotofo Serpent with a .45 fused Clapton running 35-40w, I can take or leave TC, I do feel like it can boost battery life a bit so if I know I'll be away for a very long time I'll use it but 98 times out of 100 I'm in wattage mode. As for battery life I get like 4-5 days out of my reaulaux which is just insane and way more than nessisary.

Post by: UsualSuspectXXX on Sat, 27 February 2016, 07:14:25
I've been really turned off to vaping since I keep getting all these inconsistent juice orders. It is prob because I've been trying all these really cheap places. I mean... c'mon now... my last 240ml from MBV tasted like rubbing alcohol while the previous 240 tasted like delicious green apple. And they tell me it takes 4-6 weeks to steep, and only then can I even try to return it.

Cheap juice can be fine. I'm a huge fan of Mech Sauce (http://mechsauce.com), but MBV is complete ****. They're not just cheap, they're very low quality. All juice will need to steep, but requiring 4-6 weeks is a while. The thing is, most of these "cheap" brand make most of their stuff to order (to a degree), so it's really fresh, whereas the premium juices will have had a chance to steep before you get it. I usual give my Mech Sauce about 2 and I'm good to go. As for premium, I used to buy a bunch with The Drip Club (http://www.thedripclub.com), but you never know what the deal for the week is going to be and I don't like desert flavors too much.

Mech Sauce (http://mechsauce.com/), Predator.io (http://predator.io/), and Blue Dot Vapors (http://www.bluedotvapors.com/) all get really solid reviews and are much cheaper than other companies. I've tried the full line of Predator stuff, and honestly just about every flavor is amazing (Wasn't a huge fan of their 'Dark', but I can definitely see why some people love it).
My buddies swear by Adirondack Vapors (https://www.adirondackvapor.com/) & Bulldog Vapor (http://www.bulldog-vapor.com/), both of which are also pretty reasonably priced.
Post by: Sed8op8 on Sat, 27 February 2016, 10:28:17
BlueDot makes great juice and it is super affordable
Carpe Diem Vapor has one of the best juices in my opinion and has won tons of awards (slevin and double o slevin) and there prices are super affordable

If you're looking for another mech mod, I picked up the Phantom Mod by Wotofo (http://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/mods-rbas/phantom-mod-by-wotofo.html) recently and love it so far. Great build quality and minimalist style.

The ceramic based coil? That's not good. Hopefully you had a bad coil. :/

Got a bottle of Suicide Bunny (Original Bunny) with my last order. Seen it mentioned a few times and people seem to like. I must say it was a major disappointment. Sure the flavor is good even if the cream kinda covers the strawberry, but it does not justify $12 for 15ml.
On tuesdays you can go to Oasisvape and get a 120ml for 12$. Mystic Milk is closer to a strawberry cheesecake but its pretty damn great.

I gave my wife my Sigelei 30w and now that's malfunctioning. It's giving me fix atomizer, with cleaned contacts, tightly screwed in, and so on.
Both definitely are on the fritz. 30w is unuseable.
Are there any really well built ss-temp controlled devices out there?

Just ordered my Reuleaux RX200 and 4 samsung batteries. :D gonna get back on that horse
Excellent choice. My ipv5 took a bath yesterday and even though it seems to be working fine after a rice treatment, I'm contemplating getting a third rollo in red/black.
Man, my Sigelei 150 TC started falling apart maybe 4-5 months after buying it. The magnets are gone... the case is cracked... and so on. It's been my daily mod since I purchased it brand new.

Reauleaux rx200, ipv5, sigelei 200w tc (fuchai?), rx200, any dna200 mod if you can stomach price/battery life (or just get the reauleaux dna200 for best battery life and price for dna200 mod), or the smok r200. The only ones that hit a true 200w without some awful planet aligning circumstances are the tribattery mods like the two reauleauxs. They also fit very well in the hand, seeing as they're kinda closed hand shaped.

Wow what a deal huh? It doesn't come with a case tho which is weak.
I am thinking about getting another RTA but they're such a pain in the ass. I was a OrKa / Bellcap / K4 custom combo for a year or so then swapped to the Aeolus. It's been stuck on my Sig150 since I got it.

316l SS 28x2x32 fused Clapton paralleled w/ 24g 316l SS
I built a little to low by mistake and unfortunately it's too much vapor for me even when I lower the wattage however I didn't want to toss the build as it took me forever to wrap the coils and build on this deck as its new to me!!
My thoughts on the new tugboat are that it reminds me a lot of the Kennedy 24 with a smidgen more airflow and a 2 post deck amazing flavor and insane vapor it's definitely one of my new fave RDAs

Looks like your right coil is getting much hotter than your left one.
What's the resistance/build on that btw?

Yeah I spent a bit more time messing with it after that picture, they seemed to glow more evenly though it always seems to me that in whatever I build one coil always heats up faster than the other.
Bare with me but resistance? It's a 0.29 Ohm as for what volts gets put into it, I have no idea probably 5.5 I usually run at 85-90 watts. This little build seemed quite happy with it.

Ahh, yes. More practice with the coils and you'll have them firing pretty evenly. I have this (http://www.amazon.com/Coil-Master-Authenticity-Scratch-Code/dp/B00UTZMYAK) coil jig and it works wonders. Use it for everything from standard builds to claptons. Well worth the few bucks.
And yea, the 0.29 Ohm is the resistance. Ohm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm) is the measurement commonly used for electrical resistance. Thanks for the details.

Hey thanks, yeah I have a "Coiler" though for what it is it is very over priced. That right coil got a little screwed up because I tried to pinch it back together. The Jig you linked looks much better than the one I have. Might have to grab it.
I'm starting to have a large amount of vape gear though, I really need a case for my tools and a compact means to store my extra stuff :P

I definitely recommend it so far. :)
If there was one thing I'd change about it, it would be the stock wide bore drip tip. It's plenty wide, but too short for me. It also functions as a standard 510 drip tip adapter though, and I popped a regular one on top, and it's great. Normally I don't like using a 510 drip tip (too narrow for dripping), but I won't be dripping through this one, so it's perfect.
Edit: After further time, it's even better. Wicks great at .4 ohms 24g 10 wraps dual coil. No dry hits even with heavy chain vaping, and great flavour/vapour production. The short widebore drip tip gets kinda hot though, so I'm sticking with a jade 510 tip instead.
WAY better than I was expecting it to be, to be honest. I thought it wouldn't beat my Lush RDA, but it does.

I picked up the Sigelei Moonshot RDTA today, I love it so far. No complaints, other than it's a little more complicated to build on than a regular RDA. To be expected though, and it's not really difficult, pretty spacious.

I love my Lush! I've got another RDA with a pretty similar deck to that Moonshot, the Hannya (https://101vape.com/rba-s-rda-s/780-hannya-postless-rda-by-blitz-enterprises.html) and I really do like the postless design, but the wells are so shallow which means it doesn't hold as much juice as I'd like without risking it dripping out.

Juice wells aren't really an issue with the Moonshot, as it's got a tank on the outside. You can drip, but you have to be careful because the airflow holes are directly beneath the coils. I accidentally overdripped once, and most of it came out of the bottom. So it's a good thing the tank works so well on it! It only holds 2ml, but it's enough for me to chain vape on it for a few hours. Much better in the car than a standard RDA. :)
I agree, the Lush is awesome. Really well designed. I have the Wotofo Freakshow as well. Not quite as good, but still pretty nice.

One of us, one of us.
Speaking of reuleaux, my white/cyan's 510 connector collapsed last night. Fortunately, I had a spare fat daddy 510 and was able to swap it out. It's not a 1:1 swap, you have to drill out the case and dremel the back side of the battery sled, but it's doable and not a terrible task to complete. It even looks aiight.

I've had to do work on the 510 in my tugboat so any issues shouldn't be too bad.

Walked into the vape shop today to hang out and pick up some juice and as I was talking to some dude about wanting a reuleaux rx200 one of his buddies walked in for a new mod and sold me his for cheap. It's my first regulated mod and so far I love it.
One of us, one of us.
Speaking of reuleaux, my white/cyan's 510 connector collapsed last night. Fortunately, I had a spare fat daddy 510 and was able to swap it out. It's not a 1:1 swap, you have to drill out the case and dremel the back side of the battery sled, but it's doable and not a terrible task to complete. It even looks aiight.
What part of it collapsed? Was it the spring loaded section?
I've had to do work on the 510 in my tugboat so any issues shouldn't be too bad.
The overall depth of the 510 is shorter than most devices, so you can run the risk of pushing the firing pin under the delrin insulator around it. Only reason I had to change mine is I was cleaning excess juice from dripping and saw it had got caught up. If you keep the one thing on it, you should be ok.

i tried to do this 2 weeks ago, i didnt desolder the battery sled and ripped out the connection...
You got a pic or two? That may not be too fatal for the device, the little contact pods are all separate pieces and there's a cover on each end, holding them all in the sled itself.

Yeah, this is a big problem, I sold my DNA200 version over this.
Currently been vaping on an SXmini with a Nautilus or Super Tank mini. Waiting for my Wotofo Chieftain and Billow V3 to show up in the mail.
My TugBox's 510 died just 2 weeks out of its 90 day warranty which blows, have to send it back to them and just hope it doesnt cost much to fix.

What happened to the tugboat's 510? Mine has failed in several places and I've pulled off a fix every time. If you have pics I'd be happy to take a look at it. Mine looks haggard (on the inside) and is held together with red loctite but it fires the same as it did brand new.
Edit: The failures I've had are the positive wire falling out because the entire joint was cold soldered and the bottom of the 510 (the press fit cap) falling out a few times. The press fit part kept happening until the fit was so loose that the box wouldn't fire so I used a dab of red loctite and it's been 100% since then. The the cold solder joint was fixed by removing the old solder and redoing the joint.
I guess I'm just good at buying boxes with bad 510s. :))

Tugboat is without a doubt the worst box mod I've ever used and it seems like one of the worst mods on the market. So many people have so many problems with it, I'm so happy I threw mine out (well I didn't have much of a choice considering it lit on fire and melted all the solder when I put the batteries in backwards)
Sticking a diode in there would have solved my problem and is an incredibly cheap fix for a manufacturer and there is more than enough room in there to fit one. But the 510 stopped working so frequently that I probably would have chucked it anyway

Right where your sticky note is, the nut came off/loose so the center pin just freely moves up and down and i've tried 100x to screw it back down.

It isn't a screw, it's a press fit hex cap on the end of a threaded cylinder. Try pulling it off and using a little dab of red loctite to hold it on. Had to do a little disassembly to do it but it wasn't hard.My TugBox's 510 died just 2 weeks out of its 90 day warranty which blows, have to send it back to them and just hope it doesnt cost much to fix.

Running 7 wrap 0.17 ohm 316L SS coil at 180C in SS temp control mode
The mod is a Realeaux RX200 with a Mad Hatter flip drip.
And I will tell you that the flip drip has made an incredible difference. Not pulling anything off is amazing to rejuice the wick. Only 3 post but flip drip is so worth. Really easy to build on and deep reservoir with bottom vents that come up to coils. Great airflow on this bad boy if you build it right

Red loctite, can i find that at like home depot?
Probably, this is what you're looking for. http://www.loctiteproducts.com/p/t_lkr_red/overview/Loctite-Threadlocker-Red-271.htm
Blue loctite will also work but won't hold as well as red, purple is a no go.
Here's a poorly drawn pic of the bottom of the 510 and its pieces.
[attachimg=1]
So the bottom of the 510 is made of 3 threaded inserts, negative, insulator, and positive. The negative is the largest diameter outside piece and you won't need to mess with it. The blue insulator is threaded on the outside and inside and you also won't need to mess with it. Finally the positive insert is threaded on the outside and the end of it is smooth, if you unscrew it a bit you'll see what I mean.
Steps to repair the issue:
Take the press fit nut off (using a pair of pliers this should be easy if it's loose, just don't break off the positive (red wire) when you do it)
Unscrew the positive section a bit so the spring inside doesn't apply any pressure after you snap the hex nut back on
Put a TINY (like half a grain of dry rice tiny, you don't need much) dab of red loctite near the end of the positive insert on the smooth part and don't get any on the threads
If you get any on the threads clean it off with alcohol or else you'll never be able to undo the positive insert again without a ton of work, same goes for after you snap the nut back on
After you have a bit of loctite on the positive insert snap the hex nut back on and leave the insert unscrewed for a bit so it can dry/ cure or whatever
After maybe 15-30 min thread the insert back in fully and you should be good to go
If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me, I messed with the 510 for a while before finally fixing it.

I was running some fused nichrome claptons and wicked it the sigelei suggested way where you pull you cotton through and then put the ring on and just trim it and tuck it in.
I primed it, put it together, filled the tank and let it sit for a bit. Went to vape it and.... just cotton flavor, like moist cotton. Little to no flavor.
Im going to try it again tonight wicking it more normal like i would with a traditional RTA, and maybe just use some basic***** round wire build.

Alright moonshot lovers, i have a question for you. What builds are you running, and how are you wicking it?

Make sure the cotton isn't poking through the juice flow holes in any way. I had that same issue with my first try at wicking, but I pushed the wick more into the build deck area and it cleared right up.

How much juice do people go through a day? I go through about a unicorn bottle and a bit more, so about 30-40mL. I use concentrates and mix my own juice so its not the biggest problem, I am just curious
depends on my set up of the day. MTL set up? 4-5mls. Tank set up 10mls. dripping, 15-20.

Fair point, I only drip, and I think running in wattage mode chews a lot more juice, I've gone back to running temp mode the last few days and I have found I have been burning through a lot less juice and I can taste the flavour a little more because the vapour is cooler
Also picked this bad boy up in the mail today, BEST JUICE EVER! I am definitely going to be trying their other flavours

So I am thinking about getting into more advanced wire builds, does claptoned wire actually make a difference too flavour? I mean, I can understand the capillary effect and wicking, but does it make a difference to flavour? Regardless I am going to build some because, dank photos, but I am curious to people's opinions on what side effects it has
Better flavor? Absolutely! It might just have to do with the difference in RDAs, but my clapton build produces smaller clouds than my standard build though.
Clapton build is 34/24, 4 wrap on a 2mm post at ~0.17 ohm. My regular build is 24awg, 5 wrap on a 3mm post at ~0.25 ohm.

I was in my local B&M and they were getting a couple delivered, so i scooped a red one up. Way smaller than it seemed from the pictures. But squonking is awesome. The RDA it comes with is kinda like the Sapor, its taller with top air flow so it has pretty good flavor and its impossible to leak because when you squonk it wets the cotton and sucks any excess liquid back down.
For the ~30$ you can get them for online, its so worth it.

I grabbed a white one and have had it for almost 2 weeks and for the price its pretty amazing. Squonkers are expensive as hell and this thing works great for the price. It runs a bit like a mechanical mod meaning your build dictates how much power you use up to 60 watts. There's no VV/VW and no TC. I have not used the atomizer that came with it Although I have heard its not bad. I have been using it with my hobo v3,1 And NaRDA (with BF pins) and its pretty freaking nice. It holds 7ml and when you taste your wick getting dry you just give the bottle a little push and your good to go. I'm I have a BF pin coming for my hobo drifter and also I sent my VO Distro Evolution rta to catfish over on ECF to get squankified. I have barely put this down since I got it !!!!!

The only thing I can seem to find points at mid April, guess thats not so bad.
Unrelated, is it worth investing in any of the branded non Samsung 18650 batteries? Keep buying a few batteries a year from fasttech and they work fairly well so far

So got the tsunami in the about a week ago and it was covered in machine oil out of then package(more then I have ever seen before) some of the threads had burrs and I found the deck super cramped when trying to use even a normal amount of cotton. Besides the negatives it does vape well ! However the hype for me will be the tsunami 24 which is what size it should have been from The get go
At least you got your :P sucks it's in rough shape though. I preordered the black in early feb. still waiting

With prices so cheap at Illum (http://www.illumn.com/), I don't see a reason to get anything but legit LG, Samsung or Sony batteries - too many rewraps & shady sellers out there.
Mooch does great testing and maintains a list (https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blog-entry/list-of-battery-tests.7436/#subs) so you can check out performance for any given battery (assuming you know what's actually under the wrap). A lot of the off-brand batteries are garbage with greatly exaggerated amperage ratings.

This pretty much sums it up. I wouldn't trust anything other than legit Sony/LG/Samsungs. I've got a 0.17 ohm build on my mech, so I pretty much need to use Sony VTC's on it due to the high amount current needed.

I've always been very happy when ordering from Wake and Vape (http://www.wakeandvape.com/batteries/) and Vapor DNA (http://www.vapordna.com/Batteries-s/1892.htm).
The LG HE4's at Wake and Vape are a great deal when buying 4 or more, which is what I did last time. Put in an order with a few friends. Pretty nice that they ship in the hard plastic battery cases too!

I'm writing up a review for one right now and its a nice vape and if you liked the original you will love this. Very similar design with a few SMALL positive changes. My only issue with it is the price tag I feel avid could have put it out cheaper.

Claptoned coils are so good, they wick really well and take a long time to gunk up. Definitely going to be running them a lot more
Yea, I'm honestly really surprised that they gunk up slower. Especially since there is a lot more surface area.

As much as I love nicotine I also love flavour and the two do not go together. It's either you have lots of flavour, or nicotine. Does god exist

my Nautilus and Naut mini are flavor machines, and you can use higher nic levels.
Kayfun mini v3 possibly?

Also my Rafale X came from uwell and let me just say I'm surprised there isn't more buzz about this its really pretty ingenious what this rda is capable of and I encourage anyone to watch a review about it because yes it is complicated but goddamn is it cool
P.s
Sorry about the ****ty pics also with the quad coil (I was in a rush sorry its so janky) as you can see in the pic the resistance is at like .43 that's possible because of what uwell is calling parallel serial mode (lol) but normally with 316l stainless that would be impossible as the resistance would have been to low

When a credit cards information is stolen it's normally not sold or used for 6+ months after. So it definitely wasn't a recent purchase that made this happen.

I have heard that before but what's odd is I received a new card in January after fraud, making this new card only 4 months old. PayPal confirmed that my card was manually swipped in Florida for medical supplies and in Indiana for child day care. Disputes the payments using paypals phone swipe machine and the payments going to PayPal accounts they refused any blame.

Time to start stocking up on ****, 90 days until this bull**** ass law goes into effect.
Ya it's completely ridiculous that they want to lump ecigs into the same category as cigarettes and other actual tobacco products when there isn't even any tobacco in them. They even admit that ecigs aren't as harmful as cigarettes.
If it wasn't for vaping I'd still be smoking. Patches made me sick and the gum tastes like ****. Neither of them provide the same stimulation as smoking. Vaping is the closest you can get.
Now, I can understand them banning the sale of e-juice to minors if it contains nicotine, since that's the actual drug aspect of it. Other than that, what's the point? McDonald's is ****ing terrible for you too, but you don't see the government banning teens from buying Big Mac's.
Some people do it as a cheaper alternative to smoking, so if the government taxes e-juice even more that's kind of counter-productive.
What I'm most worried about is if they get taxed so much to the point where it's just too expensive, and a lot of the small e-juice makers won't be able to support themselves any more because if the price goes up too much they'll lose business. I mean, it's possible to make your own juice, but I don't feel like putting in that much effort, and I'd like to continue supporting these small businesses if I can. Yaaaay big government.

Kennedy is finally going to unveil his new RDA this Friday it will have different sizes but the one he's been posting is a 25mm. I was hoping he would concentrate on a flavor oriented Atty instead of increasing the size but through pms he has stated that one is on the way. Its a new deck and he stated it is not a velocity. I hope its not a simple 2 post but a newly designed clamp style deck. I love the Goon and have 2 of them so fingers are crossed !
In other news I have been using the new Mage RTA which is amazing the Kayfun v5 also amazing the Ijoy limitless rdta , the Goon,the Hobo Drifter and last but not least the Petri v2 with cloud cap. There is a **** ton of really great RTAs that have come out recently and if anyone's looking I will list some more that you can't go wrong with
Billow v3 and v3 plus
Ijoy limitless rdta (its freaking amazing and is one of the nest vapes I have ever had)
Ijoy tornado
Sigelei Moonshot and moonshot 24
Wotofo Serpent mini (single coil but super flavorful)
Avocado 24 (it truly is a great little flavor machine unfortunately the ijoy limitless rdta does everything the avocado does but much better)
Aromamizer supreme 7ml & 4ml (flavor and clouds Brah both are great however I prefer the smaller one because of the reduced size)
Augvape Boreas which is a lot like the supreme super flavorful cloudy Vape
Also affordable awesome authentic rda's under $50
Tsunami 22&24mm I really want to like these rdas they are good for the price but with the builds I use they get so freaking hot and with the 22mm there is not much room for wicking material. However they are pretty damn good for the price and deserve to be on this list.
Wotofo troll v2 I was very very surprised on how well this vapes. Side AFC deep juice well, velocity deck and clouds bro clouds the big suprise was the flavor which was pretty amazing for what at first seemed to be a cloud chucker. Drfinetely kick ass
Cigreen Gear RDA its a Huge (25mm) well built rda with velocity deck and some really unique airflow. Its basically leak proof unless you turn it upside down and has great vapor production and flavor.
Aeolus lite
Amazing top airflow 22mm flavor Atty. 4post deck so its not the Easiest to build but much better then a 3 post and for the price has some of the Best flavor I have tasted out of an RDA
Goon RDA this is a 24mm RDA and I'm only including this because on vapenw.com you can pick up the SS version for $50. Normally the price is $60-$70 but it has a unique clamping deck that will take any build you throw at it and ask for more. Side AFC very cloudy and suprisngly tasty for a larger RDA

Any recommendations for a better TC mod than RX200? I don't need all that power either, I limit the output to 28-30w.
Not sure what you're willing to pay, but I've been using a Yihi SX mini ML class since they released and have to say I'm very happy with it; it's simple yet quite customizable. I have been considering getting the dual-battery Q class for multi-coil builds, but I really only run with a Wotofo Serpent mini atm; on the tighter side of direct lung and can do mtl decently, good flavor, decent vapor. With this setup I normally run 3.5mm 0.5ohm ss316l coils using rayon wick, really tastes clean and takes a good while to gunk up with 70%vg (I only vape ~6+ml/day, though).
Edit; Oops! My recommendation would be for the Yihi SX mini Q class. Awesome size and features, but it's pricy.

I wouldn't get the baby beast, honestly. I didn't like the flavor as much as the crown, crown 2 or herakles plus. The alien is ok, I just don't like the UI, I'd recommend ipv-8, rxmini, snowwolf mini, wait for the wismec predator 228 or a dna75 device (if you want to spend some money).

Anyone have feedback on these new tanks? I hear they wick juice like nothing.
I'm looking for a single coil setup (direct lung), under 25mm preferable since the platform on the SX mini seems to be 24mm (22 at bezel), something on the shorter size as well for a pocket buddy, haha.

All of my friends, who vape in a company of smokers (both of my brothers included), in the end help themselves to a cigarette, because "these pipes aren't quite the same". So my guess is that vaping is only for non-smoking crowds. Or for those with mighty self-control :))

I haven't had a cigarette in over 5 years.

I switched from cigs to vape a few years ago. When I first started I still smoked, but a lot less. And after a few months, 100% vape.

What kind of MOD/tanks are they using? I can understand if smokers are put off by straight to lung cloud chasing tanks, but I think if they tried something like the Nautilus that would give them a similar sensation to smoking and would help ween them off.

What's a half way decent sub-ohm mod that is hard wearing enough to sit in a pocket with keys and not get scuffed to bits in a couple of months? I don't typically vape at over 60W or so, so it doesn't need to be 200W or whatever.

Hey guys I'm using a Smok TFV8 X-Baby Baby Beast Brother and an Alien mod. Love the tank. The paint is all peeling off the mod and it looks kind of ugly now though.Dude my Smok Alien was kind of a POS IMO - put it in a silicon case and the paint sill peeled and looked ****ty af within a month. Dropped it once and the top screws sheared all the (plastic) threads holding things together - straight into the trash.

No paint issues with the YiHi mods I've gotten, but they're pricey. The ML mini's been dropped on the concrete a few times and it's gotten chewed up, but the paint hasn't peeled and it hasn't worn from living in my pocket. On the Q mini there is a little wear on the bottom from rubbing on the desktop, but no sign of peeling. It's hard to tell if they're anodized or powder coated, but the paint stands up to ordinary wear easily.

Speaking of which, did you know you can use plain book matches to make people's keyboards emit smoke when they start typing on them?:
How To Make a Smoker Keyboard for Make Joke (http://www.metacafe.com/watch/527893/smokey_keyboard_prank_wiht_only_matches/)
Of course this would destroy some domes and ruin the keeb. Who knows—the keeb may actually burst into flames. Dunno, I've never tried it.
Alternatively, maybe you could connect a small, inconspicuous tube to the keeb and, when the person started typing, you could vape through it.

So here is why I am bummed today. Yesterday came the Vicious Ant SX550J. It was $700. I have other Stabwood Mods too. It has 3 tiny hairline cracks. So they said that is normal and they will not replace it! I have read it often happens in like 5 years but brand new? The heck with them for this. I mean tbh it is barely noticeable but for $700 I expected perfection. They said natural wood subjected to a chemical process is rarely perfect. That's their answer and will not replace it.
So the motto is, do you really want that high end Stabwood mod? To be fair overall it is much nicer than like a Therion. Well, it is much nicer than my other Stabwoods but it is still stinking cracked!
Am I being too Anal or do I deserve perfection for my $700? I don't mind whichever you say.
Oh, do not Vape and Keeb together. Seriously. Spill into that $1,000 Korean custom blows.

I have been vaping since the beginning like the clearos with the wicks. I have many Mods, RDA,RBA etc. This will blow your mind. I have advanced Parkinson's and a top DR. in the world told me to use a nic patch or vape high nic! It may be why it has not actually "advanced". I am not even close to crippled 8 years later but I am shaky.
Hrrmm.. Recent revelations pertaining to diet and neuological health points at fatty congestion in the brain leading to wide spread micro-strokes.
Parkinson / Alzheimer, neither of these diseases have an absolute objective test, like a blood test or brain scan.
They're almost idiopathic.. if you forget stuff, you got it, if you tremble, you got it.. But what if you're just cold, and you don't sleep, do you have it ??
The point is, we're FINALLY understanding the cause and the RISE of Alzheimer/Parkinson cases, and the Majority of people with the diagnosis don't actually have it.
It has become apparent, that many sufferers with symptoms of the above disease is actually suffering from arteriosclerosis of the micro-vasculature of the brain.
It happens very often to americans and first world nations, because we have a diet very high in fats.
Here we typically eat 50 to 100grams a day.
This is enough to cause problems, the current TESTED maximum, whereby it has reversed heart disease is 22grams of fats maximum per day.
This was done for heart-disease, where the arteriosclerosis in the coronary artery was reversed.. The testing did not evaluate brain health.
However, Fats clogging the brain-vasculature is a verified phenomenon in nearly ALL heart disease patients.. if it can clog the Large pipes in ones body, it Much more easily clogs the Small ones.
Vaping, is chemical stimulation, and i would say sure, that helps similar to Magnetic resonance stimulation. It gets the current set of working neurons an extra voltage boost essentially.
But it is NOT a solution. because it does not treat the cause..
The only thing that might save you, is to eat 100% plant-based.. and minimize fat consumption to 22grams per day.

I bought myself a Smok T-Priv starter kit from a site in the UK and so far I'm loving it. My only problem I had is my first coil that was included with my kit started to leak, and a friend at work who just bought the same kit had the same problem. I tightened it all up and yet it still leaked, while my spare that was also included didn't. Bit weird.
Anyway, I'm using it at about 40W at the moment even though the coils are meant to be used at between 55 and 65W, so I'm not sure what affect that will have on the coils in the long term. I've been using the same one for two weeks and it's lasted like 4000 puffs or something so I guess it's okay?

I just build my own coils in a dripper or my Moonshot if I want a tank. After screwing around with prebuilt coils that spit and leak, I finally just said **** it and build my own. They last for a loooong time, I just swap out the cotton after it gets gunky or I want to change flavors. And it's cheap as **** compared to buying premade coils.

I've notice this happened with a lot of cartridge-based sub-ohm tanks when I first started vaping. Seems to be an inherent problem where the cartridges just can't handle the heat and the seals weaken/deform causing either weeping or straight leaks.
I ended up moving to rebuildables that had good reddit reviews with the least mentions of leaking; many times it's due to human error, so take any review with a grain of salt. I can tell you the Wotofo Serpent mini (direct-lung) and Digiflavor Siren 2 24mm (mouth to lung) are simple to build on, have good flavor output, inexpensive for the quality, and I haven't experienced any leaking that I didn't cause.

Well I hadn't done anything with the coil at all when it started leaking, it was brand new. I hadn't taken more than two puffs through it before it started leaking so IDK what it could be.
I think I will stick to regular ones for now, building my own I think is a step too far at the moment, I will stick with pre built coils until I have any more problems as my second one has been totally fine. I get three coils for like £13 and if they last me 2+ weeks each I would say that's a good deal, I dunno.

It's really simple and there's a lot of video tutorials out there. Best suggestions are to do a little research on atomizers that are easy to build on and have the least complaints (usually ones noted as beginner friendly), go with something that's single-coil unless you don't mind fidgeting with multi-coils (can get annoying matching the resistance/getting even heating), and get a Coilmaster (just makes wrapping super simple).

That's annoying. I definitely recommend building your own coils, it's easy and much cheaper. Plus you never have to wait on shipping.
This (https://www.coil-master.net/product/coil-master-coiling-kit-v4) is the coilmaster that Skull_Angel was talking about. I got a generic one (https://www.lightningvapes.com/products/universal-tools-coil-jig) from Lightning Vapes. It really makes building coils a breeze. I did them by hand with a screwdriver before >_<
Also, I'd highly recommend getting an ohm reader so you know your not overdrawing. http://www.steam-engine.org/ has a convenient Ohm calculator (http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.html) which is good for estimating your current and resistance.
Are you using an RDA or a tank. If it's an RDA I'd definitely recommend a deck that supports dual coils. I just hate single coil builds (but that's just me). You can always just build it with a single coil if two is getting annoying.
Post by: katushkin on Mon, 05 February 2018, 18:22:30
My rig actually has an ohm readout that says how much is going through the coil when I inhale, and I don't think it goes above the recommended level for the tank. Unless you're talking about when you build your own one.
Also, looking at that Coil Master, it's got a crazy double twisted wire but the tanks I use only have one single coiled wire inside.
So guessing on how it works, if your coil goes then you just pull the coil and cotton out from inside, then you wrap a wire yourself, put new cotton in, and then put the wire in and you're done? Can you get it from most vape supply places? I'm in the UK so I don't know how easy it will be to get stuff from the US over to me.
Post by: katushkin on Tue, 06 February 2018, 17:19:12
Anybody recommend any tanks I could try? Due to the shape of the top I'm limited to 25mm ones. Not too bothered about looks but i'd prefer a fairly large opening on top due to the size and weight of the rest of the mod.
I have literally no idea where to start, but this is pretty much the range I have to go on and the site I've been using -> https://www.gosmokefree.co.uk/clearomizers/
Oh and I use my vape at about 40-50W so something with low optimum operating coils that are readily available would be a plus.

The coil is above the tank so you have to up-end it every so often to re-wet the coil, but it's not leaked and there's no ****ty rubber thing so it's actually been really good so far. I have had to up the Watts to 80 to get any flavour out of it, but it's not harsh at all.

I have many DNA and SX but this was on a different level, It is not fancy enough for me though. I know Woody vapes too. Oh yeah I see that is herb. I used to enjoy to smoke a J but cannot not with my medicine I could die like instantly! I am not feeling "great" but the nic has worked good. Proves it is medicinal and does not hurt folks.

I was back up to 30 cigs a day. 2 weeks into vaping, I'm down to 3mg nic. Going for 0 very soon.
Good job man.
I've tried going down from 6 to 3 and 0, but find out that I end up vaping a ton more. With a Digiflavor Siren 2 set up for restricted lung-hit on single coil builds (28ga twisted @ 2.5mm, 5~6 wraps), I stick to 6mg and a tank can last a few days or more; it seems to be my happy medium for killing cravings and not killing bottles of juice.
I've tried making my own juice for a while to save more money, but it seemed to get too tedious/messy. Building a new coil every several months and rewicking once every other week is enough maintenance on something like this for me.
In the end, I'm saving money and my lungs are happier they're not gunked up by everything you get out of smoking, I bet you're feeling that too.
On a side note; if you're still looking for small mods, I've been using a Squid Vape Double-barrel v2.1; it's a bit on the pricier side (not crazy high like YiHis), but it's about as tiny as you can get out of a dual-battery 18650 mod, minimalistic on settings and feels like a tank too.
Post by: SongJinGi on Sat, 01 September 2018, 13:30:44
Think i'm going to have a look at squonk mods soon. I saw a pretty cool Aspire one that uses the same revvo coils i use now, which give me great clouds and great taste. I bought some more batteries a few weeks ago as well because having just two 18650s and charging my mod on a micro USB cable every day sucks.
squonks are great! I have an Asmodus pumper (I know, weird name), solid product but its not vw, just regulated. Anyway it's really nice not having to drip all the time, just give it a pump or two and your good to go. Vandy vape has some pretty sweet ones too!

I know that the biggest part of kicking an addiction is staying clean, and I don't see him often enough to keep him off it, but any advice would help.
I'm not two well verse in how to get people to stop, but I feel that slowly lowering the nicotine content of vapes could help reduce the nicotine dependency he may have, it is a slow way of doing (there really is no way to quit something quickly like that) but that might work for him
If that works than one thing that I heard can help stick with quitting, is getting no nicotine vapes or herbal cigarettes once someone has lowered their dependency on nicotine, I've heard that sometime people get the urge to put a vape/cigarette in their mouth as a habit, so these ones won't give nicotine and may lead the person to realize that no dopamine hit happens and lose the habit.
