If it were me, I wouldn't take a chance on buying any vaping gear on Ebay from someone with only three reviews (however positive), especially when one of the reviewers no longer has an account.
-
Oh my gosh! They still make RC? Don't hardly ever drink soda anymore but I sure do miss that one.
-
That would be about it for this one since you're using a regulated device. Don't try to push it beyond its capabilities. If in doubt of the coil, throw in a different one. See? Pretty simple.
-
No reason not to use it, it's probably a very good tank. Just use common sense and caution. Every atomizer and battery we use has the potential to go sideways if it's not used properly. Exercise a reasonable amount of caution and safety procedures and you should be fine.

You don't have to be nervous, just play it safe.

iQuit makes some points that I would. Also, stock coils may or may not be at the resistance that they say they are. For example, I've metered what was supposed to be 1.8 ohm stock coils and have them read 1.6 ohm, 1.9 ohm, 2.0 ohm and in one instance, it read 2.4 ohm. When you're sub-ohming, the accuracy of the resistance becomes more important for safety's sake. Don't just blindly trust that what you buy is what you're getting. The ohm meter that iQuit recommended is very simple to use and inexpensive. Not all coils require low volts/watts. That's why they make batteries and mods to be able to handle whatever you put on there... within reason. Just because you use 12 watts on this set up doesn't mean the next best thing will only use that much.

The rule of thumb for any tank, any atomizer, any coil is to start low. Vape. If it doesn't do it for you, turn it up a little, vape. Continue until you get a slight burnt or harsh taste. Back it down just a bit. That will be your sweet spot for that juice and that atomizer. It doesn't matter if it's a stock coil or one you built yourself. Stay safe and meter your coils before putting it on your battery. Oh, and when you're using a sub-ohm coil, you might want to use a juice that's low in nic. Many people prefer 3 - 6 mg depending on the resistance of your coil.

Good for you for having an Ohm meter already! The built in meters on regulated devices are hit and miss for measuring. For example, the iStick 20W are infamous for not measuring accurately and being off by quite a bit. The 30W are better and closer while the 50W are even more accurate. Still, I trust my Fluke the most.

Before buying an RDA or RTA, do you have an Ohm meter? Even if you plan to buy premade coils, it's best to measure their resistance every time. Not all coils are the resistance they say they are and it's good to know exactly what you're working with. Safety first! Good luck with your search. For an RDA I love my EhPro Stillare or JAM RDA. Both work very well and are easy to build on for me. I'm not into RTAs so someone else will come along with a good rec there.

More "oomph" is good.

Advise needed Eleaf 30w and Protank3 2.2 ohm coil

Keep up, Mplough! That's what keeps this hobby so interesting, though. -

Tam replied to vmshaw's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I got the black and hot pink. Then, I bought two different purple wraps to cover them with because the original is a little to slick in the hand for my comfort. I can just imagine me dropping these things. If I get into a spending mood, you'll be the first to know, George. -
It's all good, George. OP didn't mention if it was the RTA or pre-made coils.

My iStick 50W lasts for a couple days even with me chain vaping. I like it so much for its longevity that I bought another one and still thinking about one or two more... -
Sweetener always makes things better. Good luck, Tug!

Yes. Hope it fits you!

Can someone point me in the direction for an upgrade?
Tam replied to duke9023's topic in New Vapers Forum
Jacob24, unfortunately, your Blow EZ pen isn't an upgrade from what the OP currently has. They're using an eGo-C Twist, which is a variable voltage battery. That's a step above the fixed voltage battery you have. Also, the iClear 16 tank is a better unit than the top coil T2, imo. It was nice that you were trying to help, though. -
Yep. What Earthling said.

Four posts that are nearly the same, all pushing Eliquid Scripts. I can understand your being excited over a vendor but this is making you look suspiciously like a spammer we'll have to ban eventually... Hope that's not the case.

Game on! -
It looks very nice, but for me, I think I'd like it sanded a little more to be smoother. The rough wood look, although nice, seems like it would too easily catch and hold all kinds of fabric lint until it becomes a big ball O'fuzz.

Tam replied to Earthling789's topic in DIY e Liquid Discussion
It would all depend on how your juices taste... to me. I have a difficult palate to please because I'm flavor challenged. Right now I'm putting Comp through his paces trying to figure out what I can taste and what I can't at what levels. Lol. -

Well, if nothing else, I'll be one of those who will be looking for someone to make juice for me via black market. -

At your hourly rate, I don't know if I can afford you! -

Your time is valuable. That sounds like a reasonable price to me. So... about that Mango Peach with a hint of Lemon and Sweet-Cream... Just kidding!
