Yes, but I think I am not patient, or steady enough. It has also turned out to be a kinda cheap camera. I loaned my good one to my daughter for their family vacation last year, and never got it back. I have learned with the kids, if they have something of yours over 24 hours, it is now theirs!

Talk about a build I will never ever attempt.

4 Strand Parallel Coil Build: http://youtu.be/Cl1Aih_RFe4

Yeah 4 strand 28 gauge parallel

Trooper! I've got to where I cannot stand using 28 ga. Maybe its the kanthal I buy but I find it impossible to work with. Even after torching it its super springy

Duel parallel using 24g gplat (need to find me some ss welding wire...hehehe)

The math is correct.....

The sensibility is suspect...... (that's a joke haha)

I'm joking because .1 ohm is practically a short. Haha

I don`t think I`d trade my ecig for all the stinky sticks in the world.

I still smoke 36 mg, I smoke it allot. I like the fact that I can control it much better than tobacco. I can stay on it until I`m getting green, and I don`t have to relite. For me its the perfect delivery system for the stuff I love, which of course, is nicotine.

Keep those anal-logs, (LOL) When I want nicotine, I know how to get it. :?)

(Ya, I might just be lit up right now, LOLOLOL)

R :?)

I said I would wait until I got a mod, but couldn't wait. I got my Kanthal in today. 26, 28, 30, and 32 ga. I don't have a mechanical yet so I wrapped a .9 ohm single coil on my TOBH and wicked it with organic cotton. 7 wraps of 26ga on 2.8mm.

At 11 watts on my MVP it is amazing. It doesn't put out clouds, but flavor is too good. I never dreamed that my juice would taste so powerful that it is nearly off putting. I know that is a stupid complaint...too much flavor, but that is the truth.

I don't have any low nicotine juice, so I am using my 24mg stuff. It is a little strong but it works.

I now see what all the fuss is about!

OOPS! I meant RDA in the Topic.

Love my Reo. It is the only mod I use anymore! There is nothing to break, no coils to flood, gurgle, leak etc etc. If it leaks it's your own fault. Rob offers quite a few bottom fed attys now on his site. As far as those unfamiliar, these are milled from a solid block if aluminum, dam near indestructible. Bottom fed, from the juice bottle by squonking it. Mechanical mod that takes 18650 batteries. All the flavor of dripping, without the hassle.

Here's a few pics of mine



Next to my dna30


Reomizer

If you're starting with an RDA I'd suggest some research into what you want and what you can do as far as airflow. Using an RDA requires good airflow or you're going to get a very harsh hit. Do you want one that has adjustable airflow or are you okay with drilling it out yourself?

Before you start buying any supplies, make sure the first thing on your list is a dedicated ohm meter. That's very important to make sure you're safe. Do not rely on an APV to read ohms of a coil correctly and accurately.

Next is the wire. 28, 30 and 32 gauge A-1 Kanthal is a good start.

Organic cotton is a popular choice for wicking material.

High VG juice with lower nic level is also another thing you'll need. For example I regularly use 12 mg nic at 50/50 when I direct drip with an atomizer and also use in my tanks. In my RDA I use 3 or 6 mg nic, 20PG/80VG. If I don't drop the nic and increase VG, it feels like my throat's getting ripped out and I get way too much nic at one time.

Other things you may need are tweezers with insulated grips, drill bits or a Qcoiler to wrap your coils, good eyes, nimble fingers and lots of patience. A good mini torch is very handy but not entirely necessary.

Good luck!

On the b&m comment. I actually hated this vapor crap from my first two shops. I found a couple good ones though. Doesn't matter if you want the smallest carto or biggest cloud chasing monster. All normal welcoming people. Keep looking! I'm glad I didn't give up.

I mean I tried dripping and I guess I just do not get it personally. I know many love it and many love rebuilding things. Personally when my lawn mower breaks, I go buy a new one. Fix it? Nahh I wouldn't even know where to start.

Like I said many times between my wife's 10 tanks and my 12 it is a huge pain in the *** for me to fill them once or twice a week so I cannot even imaging messing with any of that stuff. I would rather just throw 5-6 tanks in my case, 4-5 batteries in my bag and head to the boat ready to vape.

In the end, all our goal is the same and it is hard to believe I have been almost 500 days without a tobacco product touching my lips!

^^^^This, sometimes just cause you can doesn't meen you should. Best to try to stay in line with what the device is speced for IMO.

LOL i spend significantly more on my RIG's than i do on my juice.

got my first mech mod today: The "Magneto" by "smok"

Welcome to VT! I really hope this works out for you. for a lot of us here its become more of a hobby than a cessation tool at this poiint! Dont be afraid to vape in public at the same kind of areas you would smoke. for indoors I personally ask before anything since I dont want anyone to freak out, basically try to avoid conflict. Vaping still has a negative conotation to it since a lot of people associate it to smoking which is fair but people are far too uneducated. Until we are free to vape wherever we want stay classy and Im sure you wont have any problems, you seem super polite!

Have fun & dont be shy to ask about anything!

first sub ohm build since I finally got around to buying a mechanical mod (magneto)

0.8ohm with 32g 5.5 wraps on bottom, 5 wraps on top; dual coil.





and the mod firing it:

Sounds logical lol

Now imagine that in a enclosed in a mod, in your pocket or in your car while your shopping. Battery safety is no joke.

Welcome Liz!

I am like you. I really don't vape in public much. I tend to keep it in the car, at home, and in the office. I really did about the same when I smoked.

It is gaining acceptance in a lot of areas, but there is so many misconceptions and I normally don't want to deal with them in public. (I am shy and non-confrontational, a weird combination for a salesman!)

I sat next to a woman today in a nonsmoking Denny's in Abilene, TX and she was vaping away. What really caught my eye is that she was an older lady and no one even gave her a second look. (I mean no offense by calling her older, she was older than me, and I know better than to try to guess the age of a woman)

I think, for most active peoples, that`s the way to go.

I had a real infatuation with my dripper, for a little while. But now I`m on the kayfun trying to iron the kinks out on it, and I`v been using it most of the day for a few days now, and then at the end of the day I will re-wick the dripper and have some real fun.

Tank for work breaks and convenience, dripper for the easy chair when all the work is done. :?)

Works for me.

Loving it. Pioneer4you Seven-30

I'm with you Chris! I am definitely not gonna fault a guy for that. It seems like every time I get a major urge, I am alone. I would have to go buy a pack, and a lighter. I think that added bit of work really helps keep me from doing it. I luckily have never had the urge when I am around friends who smoke. I think when I am around them, I don't want to smoke in front of them because they all know of my commitment!

Orchid RBA clone by Tobecco

I didn't bring an RBA with me on this trip. I need to build a small toolbox for the hotel rooms. I spend 3-4 nights a week on the road. I bring tanks, extra coils and my back ups. I also have found most of the vape shops along my sales route. I think this weekend that will be my project. Building coils will help pass the time and give me practice!
