This week I bought a stainless steel 650 mAh eGo-C Twist from myvaporstore.com to replace the 1000 mAh Twist I dropped to death last week. The 1000 mAh Twist was just too long, so I decided to go with the 650 mAh this time around. It's the same length as my Boge Leo 800 mAh batteries...perfect. It cost me $24.34 including shipping. Not only is it the best price I've been able to find anywhere on a Twist, they have them in Pink Pearl, Green, Blue, Black, Stainless, Red, and White.

I ordered some stuff from VapeLite as well. I got 100 ml of Dekang DK-TAB (50 ml 18 mg and 50 ml 0 mg to mix down nic strength with), a Boge 510 LR 2Ω atty, and a 510 to eGo adapter for one of my Leos. The entire order from VapeLite using the discount code "takeoff10" was $30 including shipping. I order a lot from them because their prices are unbelievably low and I've yet to be dissatisfied with their products.

I am new to vaping and I have been using an ego c-twist with a smok atomizer. It's okay but not for tricks and I was wanting to know what I should buy that gives off a lot of vape plz help me out

Well gang, Today marks 100 days since my last analog, and I won't say it was easy, but it has been easier than I expected ... with the help of everyone here!

Yesterday, I hiked several miles over rough, mountainous terrain with my sons... something that I could not easily do a few months ago... and I felt great during the entire hike, as well as AFTER!! While I may not feel 20 again, I sure feel 20 years younger

Looking forward to another 100 days... and another... and another...

Cloud Chasers are scaring me more and more these days. I get sub ohms vaping, I like it as well which is why I normally vape my Kayfun at around 0.7 and my RDA at 0.5. I get that it would be prudent not to sub ohm entirely if I want to be cautious.
Lately however, i'm seeing more and more pictures of people building quad and octacoils on their RDA's that go below 0.1 ohms and that's absolutely bonkers to me. Yes, in almost all cases, the build out resistance are below the amp cap on the battery they are using, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous.
When we are talking about Lithium Ion batteries, we are talking about something very, very dangerous when used improperly, only an inch away from your face and eyes. The new generation of vapers have a lot more knowledge at their fingertips than the tenured vapers had, and that's great. That's one of the reasons why we see someone who has only vaped 2-3 months evolve into building their own coils on a mech mod so quickly, that knowledge they can find via the internet is at their disposal.
Heres the issue though, vapers are seeing the amp cap on the specs of their batteries and thinking "Okay, well it's a 30 amp maximum, if i stay just below that or at that amp it should work just fine" and that's ludicrous. My car's speedometer on my sentra says 130MPH, Scientific evidence shows you can likely survive in the desert without food for up to 7 days as long as you are hydrated with enough water. Does that mean I should drive 130 in my compact car? does that mean you should walk around without eating for 7 days?
You are pushing those batteries too hard, too consistently. Yes, the amp cap is 30 or 35. But they were never meant to go that high for that long of a period of time. Nor was my car meant to drive that fast, nor was your body meant to be put through that much torture.
Batteries are going to fail, it happens in any device you use whether it's your laptop battery or your smartphone batteries, they fail some times. The difference in this circumstance however is you are seeing this new type of vaper push these batteries so hard consistently for as long as they will keep on charging at these ridiculously low ohms, and for what? so you can post another 10 second clip on Facebook or YouTube making a cloud?
I like blowing clouds every now and again as well, but when you get down beyond 0.1, you've lost your marbles if you think there isn't a chance you are going to force that battery to vent, especially with these long *** drags i'm seeing these cloud chasers take.

Before you make a sub ohm coil, always ask yourself if the clouds you are about to try and make with it are worth the mod you could destroy if that battery goes thermal, or worse your safety and health. Is that 0.08 coil worth needing possible skin grafts in the future?
Let me know what you think about these ridiculously low sub ohms we're seeing in the comment section below.

Any reports of batteries venting due to sub ohm vaping?

Josh I would say the precautions you take are the exception rather than the rule. It makes me concerned for the future of vaping more than anything else.

I agree with ya Bcarter! However, when someone comes to VT that is interested in mechs in general, there are many of us that immediately start harping on safety. Other than trying to educate, there's not much else we can do. Education is only valuable to those who wish to be educated.
I sub-ohm, and I've been as low as .09. But it was too hot to vape and I didn't notice any appreciable increase in vapor versus running at 0.3. I prefer to stay at or above 0.3 now. I constantly check and recheck my builds for shorts and inconsistent ohm readings as well as my batteries for voltage levels.

If there is one thing that will give the anti-vaping lobby the power they need for widespread bans and legislation it is a Mech mod blowing up because someone didnt know how to properly and safely do it.

Not downing cloud chasers, just saying it has been on my mind a long time. If we as a community put as much emphasis on safety with mechanical mods there is bound to be an inherent risk associated with the activity. Imagine how the non-vaping community will react when and if a hand grenade explodes in someones face?

I like to sub ohm as much as the next guy, but I never really go below .2ohms and I alway make sure I have batteries that can handle it( mostly Sony vtc4,5,& 6). I wish everyone would be more carful while sub omhing. Not only could u get hurt but u could also shine a bad light on vaping all together. Think about what your doing, and ask yourself if it's really worth the risk. A .2-.3 ohm coil r just as good as a .08 ohm build and u don't have to worry about getting shrapnel in the face.

To each their own. It's not for me, I'm a tank guy and that will never change. I haven't heard of a battery explosion or anything but can see why one would be concerned given the "pushing it to the limits" approach many take especially those not experienced nor equipped to do so.
