I should also mention at this point that just because someone's using a regulated box mod doesn't mean that a battery won't vent if pushed too hard...Ohm's Law still applies. There's just more safety features in the circuitry of regulated mods to help prevent catastrophes.

Sigelei silver dragon mod from kidney puncher. Vct4 is real based on those sites you sent. I always double check my coils and battery level with a multimeter and give plenty of headroom.

Im getting a tc regulated mod asap...maybe the evic vt

One more thing...due to their limited availability and high price, Sony VTCs are probably the most faked/counterfeited batteries on the planet. The fakes could have decent cores, or they could be accidents waiting to happen. Many legit dealers have been fooled into stocking the fakes in the past (or so I've heard). Here's a link from BudgetLightForum.com that might help in distinguishing fakes from the real deal. 
Here's another informative article from Sun Vapers:

Sorry...I didn't see the original post about the .3Ω load and Sony VTC4. I just saw the post about the mech mod.
Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, the Smoke Vapesafe Fuse (if that's what you're using) is a 7A fuse, and .3Ω on a fresh (4.2v) battery is around 14A, so that's why it's cutting you off. As far as your other issues, I have no clue.

Looks real nice, great design. Tc looks like it works well. Lcd screen flips with gyroscope. However I'd rather have my batteries built in with a tc mod. Let us know what you decide!

The heat pulls the juice up the wick. So as long as the wick isnt too tight you will be ok. If you are making nano coils (smashing them together real closely) put your cotton under the coil, not through it. Check out youtube. Search "28g 1.2 ohm" or whatever you are looking for at youtube or w/e. A lot of great odeas on twitter and fb also. Good luck!
Try putting them together real close then strum the coil gently with a flathead to get little voids in between wraps

Hi  

I have one and like it, I use my Invader more, but that is only because of the way it fits my hand and is very durable. My eVic stays on my desk while the Invader goes with me when I'm active.
I want to add too that I think the eVic is a better TC mod.

You can only increase your volts past 4.2 in a mechanical mod if you use a series mechanical box.  There are not many options out there.
There are many advantages to a VW mod.  First is most chips use a DC/DC converter and can boost the voltage to the atomizer quite a bit above battery voltage. The ipv D2 can put out 75 watts.  It has a 25A and 7V limit on the chip.  It will supply more Watts to the atomizer for a much longer time than a mechanical mod.  It is also much more consistent.  In a mechanical mod the vape starts hot and gets weaker as the battery gets lower.  In a VW mod it provides the same Watts to the atomizer until the battery drops below it's cut off limit, usually 3.5V.  Variable Wattage mods are also (normally) safer.  They will not fire if they are shorted, they will not fire if they get too hot, they will not let you ruin an 18650 by running it too low.
I love the simplicity of the mechanical mod, and will always keep a few around, but day in day out a variable wattage mod is just hard to beat.

My solution is duct taping a ego to the grip on a colt 1911.

Perhaps if the dual purpose Taser didn't involve aiming at the face (or other sensitive areas of the body ) we could have something there.
 

I can see it now; someone modifies their box mod into a taser and pushes down the button to vape and... ZAP!
It's probably not something you should try to do unless you also add a toggle switch or something so only one part is working at a time. 

I see nobody has answered this for you, so I'll give it a whirl and ask you some questions...
The Tugboat is an RDA, not a box-mod... a box-mod is the device that provides power to the device which holds your coil/cotton/juice (RDA/RBA/RTA/Tank/Atomizer/Cartomizer/Clearomizer) Typically, you would use Kanthal, but can use Ni200 or Titanium wire if you're using a temp-control device Number of wraps and diameter of coil (ID) will depend on the resistance you want to achieve (watch lots of youtube videos and read threads on this forum) Cotton is your personal preference... Japanese cotton is superior, but some still like silica, rayon, etc Now for the questions...
WHY are you vaping?  (to quit smoking, hobby, to be one of the cool-kids?) If you are vaping to quit smoking, how long were you a smoker?  How many packs-per-day? You mentioned "Awesome vapor production"... are you wanting to cloud-chase? What type of device do you have to provide power? (box-mod, mechanical, self-contained or does it use 18650 batteries?) If you are using 18650 batteries, what brand/model are you using? And, the #1 question... have you ever tried vaping? There is lots of helpful people here, and we're happy to answer more specific questions, but the reason this question has sat for 3 days without an answer is because it is vague, and it appears you are just another non-smoking noob that wants to get into cloud-chasing or competitions, and that is not what we do here... we educate and inform, and our primary goal is to help you stop smoking... not help you fog up rooms and annoy others with massive clouds, which only serve to further cast dim lights on the benefits of vaping (compared to smoking) and cloud-chasing further aids the anti-vaping and regulation desiring politicians.  If you want to cloud-up your own home... go for it... just please be aware of others and don't do it in public places!

Those are some nice builds. It relaxes me as well, but I usually only get about 30 minutes tops to tinker with coils. On my days off while my girls are at school is when I can take a half hour away from cleaning and laundry to watch vids and experiment. Ah the life of a single full-time daddy.

Get yourself a coil jig, buy some wire, and check out some of the posts on VT. First you have to know what you want as far as coils go, and start from there.

You know... some people have allergic reactions to PG... you may want to try 100% VG juices and see if that makes a difference? I'll forewarn you though... 100% VG juices will gum up your coils faster, but produce great vapor... some also say they have a strong glycerine after-taste... but it may be worth a shot for you to try 0/100 up to a 20/80 ratio, just in case the issues you're experiencing are PG related.

Just try asking a simple question and you'll most likely get more "education" and information than you wanted. Lol. We have a great group of vapers who love to help. Also, read through the threads, there's so much interesting info there.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

I have some juice that has lasted me months....but that's just because it tastes bad, hahaha.

I like between .8 and .6 it is just right for me. If I go lower the heat makes me cough.

For me, when using cotton as a wick, it helps to prebuild the coil and then thread the cotton through.

Just did some quick searches on Rayon, I'm not sure...

Right on! Just curious =) Your builds look pretty clean.



I've gotten lazy here lately lol. If it vapes then its sufficient! Bahaha.

6 wrap 24g @ .24 ohm

@mvince

28 gauge/ 0.6 ohms @ 4.23 volts (7.05 amps/29.82 watts)

I feel the same about hiding things from my son Earthling. I try to protect him as much as possible but without hiding anything from him. I want to expose him to the dangers in life but in ways that are safe or in a safe learning environment. Keeping things hidden from children just toys with their curiosity (children are curious by nature) and puts fuel on the flames so to speak, leaving more chance for them to try something when you are not around.

That being said I vape around my son but make sure to blow the vapor in a direction away from him.

The comments above are my opinion only (and sometimes vary from my wife). I respect others opinions to feel otherwise though.
