  1. You should never be GUESSING when building coils. Just saying.

    Maybe I'm taking this wrong but this reply really bugs me. All the dude asks was how many wraps to get to 2 ohms because he's wasting wire trying to guess how many wraps will get him there and still fit. Instead of offering advice you bombarded him with questions assuming he has no idea of what he's doing.

    I think we've all guessed when building coils and that's how we all learned. Hell, I couldn't tell how many wraps of anything is good for what resistance. But, I build and then measure ohms and build again. Through trisl and error I know what works for me, for now. I'm always trying new builds and guessing if it's going to work for me and my tastes. I understand the importance of safety and take precautions as I'm sure he does.

  2. No short the coil never came out of the positive post to touch anything. There was no venting, physical damage or high temperature of the battery. It charged fine. I researched a bit last night and IMR batteries have a "sleep mode" @ 2.3v to prevent damage. When they reach 2.3 they require a charge to "wake up" to continue use. It makes sense when you think about it. I use IMR batteries in my flashlights and when the die they charge and are still long lasting. So, actually 2.3v is still a safe voltage.

  3. I'm running a dual twisted coil rda set up. My battery was reading 3.9v on a meter. I only took a couple hits and went over my neighbors for a few. He's running a single twisted coil. While I was there his stopped working. I let him try my battery to see if that was the problem, it still wouldn't fire. It turns out his positive screw came loose on his rda. When I put my battery back into my mod it wouldn't fire. I checked it on my meter and it registered 2.3v. It dropped 1.6v after a few test fires on his mod no more than 2-3 seconds.

    My question is WTF?

  4. I've been using the same flavors. Everyone's physiology is different so maybe I'm not geared to it... or I just hit way to much LOL When I do it moderately I have no issues. I am going to order some 0 nic to have when I experiment with new coil builds.

  5. Whoa.. My neighbor convinced me to try cloud chasing, not that I needed a real push. I figured I'd get 6mg nic because I normally use 12. Damn was I wrong.... even 6 is to high. I guess I'll be ordering 3 or 0 next.

    Keep in mind we were chain vaping on our newly made twisted coils and I was on a .2 dual twisted coil with a fresh 18650 battery (4.2v) with lots of air flow hitting those coils. I got the sweats, mild headache and an upset stomach. The usual symptoms of to much nic. Time for a bottle of water and rest.

    The point of this being in the eliquid forum is so others know that if you want to start clouding than have some ultra low or 0 nic on hand. Don't do what I did and if you start feeling ill STOP or you'll get even sicker or worse. Nicotine is toxic in moderately high doses and clouding gives you much more faster.

  6. Any reports of batteries venting due to sub ohm vaping?

    Of course there's not. No one talks about the screw ups they just show off the good results. I've never done it personally but I do know fellow vapers that have had batteries over heat and vent because they pushed them to hard. They kind of laugh it off and admit they knew they were beyond the battery's limits. They also know how lucky they are.
