  1. Tips:

    1st- It isn't necessary to post the same question multiple times. :)

    You've already gotten some good answers,if they weren't what you wanted to hear

    ask for clarification. lol

    2nd- Never vape a coil until you know the resistance unless you're an expert

    coil builder.sub ohm builds can be disastrous if mishandled.

    3rd- learn to vape on pre-built units until you know what your juices are supposed

    to taste and vape like.Randomly building coils is a just practice until you have an idea what

    you want from them and what will work well on your PV.

    And a Q: How do you know it's a 3.2 ohm head if it hasn't been wrapped yet?

    The coil determines the ohms not the unit it's being put in.

    As far as tips on how to wrap the coils refer to your original post,they were asking q's to better

    know how to help with your individual situation.If you just want general guidelines folks here can help

    with that as well as youtube vids on techniques.

    P.S. Different juices like different watts to perform their best,many don't work well at higher power etc.

  2. Of some old friends from the e-cig world.
    (with tongue planted firmly in cheek)

    Many of us **OV's** have fond although sometimes frustrated memories of these
    old friends.
    The M-401 has sadly passed and the RN-4075 is now defunct.

    While the 402 can still be found occasionally and the RN-4081 still has a small cult like following in the NJOY and
    Smokestik crowds.The KR808D-1 won the cigalike popularity contest and the 510, and the new kid on the block,the eGo connector won the MOD crowds love.

    But perhaps the saddest passing is the venerable and oft venerated
    DSE-801/BE-112/JOYE302's.
    Often hailed as the best compromise between the TH of the 510 and the clear taste of a 901,with the largest capacity,the now outdated 801 was
    beloved (and hated) by many.

    the BE-112 seems to be out of production
    and very few sellers still carry the 801/302's anymore.

    BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW! I haven't had to give in yet to these new punks:The gennies and RBA's and RDA's and and and...
    Well I only use 'em to taste new juices sometimes lol.
    They still work and taste great at ~5V.

    It really is great fun watching the progression of VAPING. :)

  3. The broker, a small-time businessman from Taiwan named Michael Fan, had already received advice from ALW about how to get Chinese honey into the U.S. ALW executives had told him to ship his honey in black drums since the Chinese usually used green ones. And they had reminded him that the “taste should be better than regular mainland material.” Chinese honey was often harvested early and dried by machine rather than bees. This allowed the bees to produce more honey, but the honey often had an odor and taste similar to sauerkraut. Fan was told to mix sugar and syrup into the honey in Taiwan to dull the pungent flavor.

    For those that have trouble distinguishing:

    The Chinese sold it to an authorized buyer. Fan from Taiwan adulterated it at the instruction of ALW of Germany

    That is all.

  4. This article had very little to do with the Chinese and everything to do with a

    greedy German business and at least 1 if not more greedy U.S businesses.

    While Chinese QC is always a bit suspect,all they did in this instance was to

    sell a product to an authorized buyer,who then used shady tactics and broke

    several laws in the redistribution of that product.

    As to the banned antibiotic in the honey every country has different regs for

    additives so the Chinese aren't culpable for selling it here since they didn't

    sell it to a U.S. company.

    Chinese bashing is popular all over the net and in many cases it's well deserved

    BUT ecig users need to remember and be thankful that if it weren't for the Chinese

    we wouldn't have ecigs at all!

    And as far as the juice debate that seems to be constantly ongoing there are

    a lot of people who would rather put their trust into a reputable Chinese company

    than some U.S. homebrew specialist who doesn't even have a decent clean

    room to work in.

    Personally I like and use both Chinese and U.S. ecig stuff,especially batts since

    it's damn near impossible to find Li-Ion batts manufactured anywhere else.

    just my .02,.02..02..02 lol

  5. I guess most of us here think the ego is a better option because it lasts longer and

    has more options as far as types of coils you can use on it.

    The small autos like the Volt are better for some situations

    like gaming etc,, if you like handsfree vaping,:)

    As far as the 808's like Volt,Bloog,Vapor4Life (V4L),Halo,V2 and so on

    most are interchangeable so mix n match away.

    The only limit I can think of as far as juice goes is that higher VG juices

    usually don't play well with cartomizers due to wicking issues.

  6. I think you will need to remove at least 1 of the flavor wicks

    it sounds like the juice is too thick to wick :)

    The Evod usually has 2 or 3 wicks plus the one inside the coil.

    Try removing them one at a time until you get good wicking

    but if you remove too many it will flood so keep up with them

    so you can put one back if needed.

    As far as the way the batt is acting,I think you are hitting the

    amp limits with those 1.8 coils.Since you have the 2.5's

    you'll prolly get better service from those.

    And as the E-mail from your vendor said it's not unusual for the

    ohms of the coils to fluctuate a few tenths.Dry coils measure

    different from wet etc...

  7. I think you should contact your vendor.It sounds like you may have gotten a bad batt.

    They may tell you to try a higher ohm coil first but the iTaste should be able to handle the 1.8.

    Hopefully they will be able to resolve the issue without too much hassle.

    If not let us know,there are certainly more knowledgeable folks here than me,who may be

    able to offer some solutions.

  8. Doesn't the iTaste have an ohm meter?try to see what the ohms on the coil are.

    Also look at the coil head to see what the ohms are listed at,if it's too low the

    batt will think it's a short.If you have some spare coils you could try one of those.

    If it measures O.K then you could try setting the itaste to

    it's lowest setting and see if it works.if it does then you can go up gradually until

    you find a spot you like or the batt stops working.

    Also if you have an ohm meter you could double check to see if the itaste is reading properly.

    If not then you may need to contact your vendor.

  9. yep,3.8v with 2.2ohms is ~6.5 watts and 4.2 v with 2.5 ohms is ~ 7 watts

    Just remember it may taste a bit stronger when you're on the wattage setting

    due to the fact that the twists and spinners etc. have some voltage dropout

    under load but the watts setting on the vamo probly won't.
