  1. After posting, its really tasting burnt. Not enough wick? Running the two holes wide open.
  2. Well I had a long post typed and closed it on accident > I'll try to sum it up. On the first .2ohm setup, the tops of the coils were exposed, not the sides as you mentioned. I had the air holes lined up perfectly with the coils. I'm using a locally made 50/50 mix, with kosher grade, US based ingredients with a 5mg nic content. I think I want to go down to 3mg, because on my protank, I could basically chain vape to a degree. With this rda I can take 1-2 hits, and I've got a buzz. lol I just built a dual nano dragon coil. It reads .47-.50 on the meter. Its a MUCH cooler vape than the last one. Still not blowing clouds, but its better than before. I can now take a 4 second drag, instead of a 1 second. I noticed with the nano dragon, I really have to saturate the hell out of the wick, or It will taste very burnt after 3 seconds or more. Heres a pic of the first And the new one,
  3. Now I feel like an idiot. I usually read the stickies before commenting on a new forum...heh If an admin can move it over, I wont feel so bad. I apologize. I missed that totally. Thanks again.
  4. Sweet, thank you. Getting ready to check that out.
  5. Thanks guys! Fishguy1123, I'm using a dedicated ohm meter with 510/ego threads.
  6. I forgot to mention I DO have an ohm meter. I couldnt find an edit button or I would have changed my post. lol
  7. OK, So I'm fairly new to vaping, but got bit by the mech mods and coil building pretty quick. I've got a nemisis clone mod, and a stillare clone rda. Before I go any further, I want to point out that I'm very aware of ohms law, and the effects on batteries with very low ohm loads. With that being said, I'm using Sony US18650VTC4 batteries. What I have now, is a dual coil setup thats clocking in .2 ohms 7/6 wrap 26ga kanthal with org cotton wick. These two coils came with this rda. Yes I'm keeping VERY close watch on these batteries, none have gotten even warm (except up top near the coils, from the coils themselves). My problem is, These are producing a VERY hot vape to the point that I cant take more than a 1 sec draw, which burns my throat, and am not getting the vapor production that I want (until the battery starts to get low). I know ohms law, and am pretty good with my hands and small objects (lets not get perverted here, lol). What I dont know, is what gauge, and how many wraps of what diameter I should be building these coils to get a certain resistance. I'm looking for a cool(er) vape, but doesnt have to be cold, and heavy vapor, if this is possible. If it helps, I take it straight to the lungs. I know the best way is to start wrapping and testing, but I'm looking for a general idea to get me started. I've got the basics. 28ga A1 kanthal, org cotton, 2mm silica, torch, 5/64th and 1/8th drill bits, and tweezers. Anyone care to give me a hand? Thanks to anyone kind enough to read this long winded post.
  8. OK, so I'll start with my name, Brian. I *was* a smoker for the last 3 years. I grew up with my father smoking. He was a pack a day man most of my childhood. He quit when I was around 13ish (14 years ago). I swore I would never smoke (just like everyone else). Always resisted the peer pressure, even when I started partaking in the wacky tobaccy. It wasn't until I deployed with the Army that I started smoking out of boredom and other things. I tried to quit last summer being a pack a day man myself, with a 600mah ego starter kit with some cheap kangertech tank (t2 sunfire?). I wasnt successful. From the get go I wasn't satisfied from the vape I got. I did slow to 2-3 cigs a day for about 3 weeks, until my ego battery died, back to a pack a day. I ended up getting an MVP v2 and a protank II for my birthday in in feb, and didnt smoke but maybe a cig every other day for a few weeks until i LOST the thing. BACK to smoking. About 3 weeks ago, i got a VTR, and completely stop smoking. 2 days later, out of no where, appears my mvp hidden in between the seat of my car, DOH! I STILL was not satisfied with my vape, although I hadnt given into my craving. I started reading forums and lots of youtube. I did a simple 1.8ohm rebuild of a protank2 coil and loved it. I have entered "cloud chasing" (smh...lol) I love building things, and am into cars (built 95 cobra). So naturally, This intrigued me. A few days ago I got myself a Nemesis clone, and a Stillare rda clone, along with a bunch of stuff to build coils. Cotton, Kanthal, a torch, etc.. I know I'm fairly new to vaping, but not to the concept of electricity and ohms law. I'm aware of what happens with electricity and low ohm loads, so that should work for me in these endeavors. lol So heres to a new, healthier hobby! Sorry for the long intro....
