    cany reacted to Earthling789 in One Year Down!   
    A year ago today (3/31), I smoked my last cigar... I bought my starter-kit (a twin-pack eGo-T and Ce4 with charger, carry-case and 60ml of juice) for a whopping $72... yes, I still have the receipt..., and was determined to give it two weeks to see if I could kick the analog habit... I figured since I had just spent nearly two week's worth of tobacco money, I had better not waste it
     
    Well, I've come a long way from my eGo's and Ce4's... dozens of Kanger tanks, RTA's RDA's, MVP, Mech-mods, and now higher-end APV's...  I've given many devices a try, and finally settled on my preferred set-ups of RTA's and IPV-minis / Cloupor-minis... but still cling to my AeroTanks, because you just can't kill them
     
    I've tried liters of e-liquids, spent hundreds of dollars in trial-and-error, and found my ADV's are as cheap as a decent fast-food meal every week... even cheaper now that I've found I can DIY and duplicate the flavor (and make it even better, too).
     
    I've spent a small fortune, but still less money on vaping than I would have spent supporting Big-Tobacco or the cigar cartels... I've paid forward as much as I've kept... made many, many friends here on this forum and in the local community of vapers... and helped to educate and convert dozens of ex-smokers to the healthier world of vaping!  I feel good about myself, and have never felt better in my own body... I breathe better, have more energy, more stamina, and have actually lost 15-lbs over the past year (without even really trying)!!!
     
    I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone on this forum for all the help and encouragement you've given me when I was starting out, and when I was learning about something new.  YOU have made all the difference in my road to becoming (and staying) analog-free for a whole year.  I'm so glad I found this forum, and I'm proud to be a contributing member, helping others reach their first-year milestones!

    Thanks George  I was told to add about 5 drops down the center of the coil to prime it (now I will let soak also )  Ive been using it for about 2 days now The flavor/cloud is a bit better (to me) then the KPT2. But the one thing I like about it the airflow control to me its a lot more user friendly than the one on the KPT2 Im also using it with a 70vg mix that could be why the flavor/cloud a bit better?

    cany reacted to Earthling789 in Building higher ohm for istick 50w   
    It's a common misconception that higher (or lower) resistance (or Wattage, or Voltage) will affect vapor production in some huge fashion.

    Lower resistance coils operate hotter than higher resistance coils (considering same Voltage applied to them), because lower resistance coils will draw more Amps. Higher resistance coils draw fewer Amps, and therefore will prolong the life of your battery.

    Higher resistance coils also take longer to heat up (and longer to cool down), compared to lower resistance coils, which is why chain-vaping with high resistance coils is not desired, because it will heat up the atomizer/tank/juice.

    Study Ohm's Law a bit more, and you'll begin to see the relationship between Resistance, Voltage, Wattage, and Amps. Simply throwing more Voltage or Wattage to a coil does not make it produce more vapor or more flavor... there is a delicate balance between the variables, and it will not be the same for every person, every tank/RTA/RDA, every battery-device... because every person's tastes are different/unique, and we all perceive juice flavors differently.

    So, the short answer, no.. using a higher resistance coil will not give you more vapor. As I said above... VG content of the juice is what determines the potential for vapor production. From there, it's a balance of power, surface-area, heat, volume, and air-flow... There is no magic number of "use this juice, this ratio, this device and get max flavor/vapor"... if that were the case, there would not be thousands of different devices/juices on the market....

    I've been thinning out my KPT2 "collection", six already gone, and I have two left that need a new home.

    So, to make it simple... anyone that wants a chance to win, just reply to this post and you'll be entered for a chance! I'll pull two random numbers which will relate to the post you make. It's that simple...

    Please, no comments or discussion, as that will NOT earn you extra chances to win If you have a question, PM me...

    Contest will end on Sunday, March 1st... sometime after Noon EST, so everyone will have a chance to enter if they want one. For those of you who would rather have a chance at a Nautilus... stick around... one of those (with coils) will be given away very soon... I want to at least finish out the coil I just put in it

    The prizes are a KPT2 in near-new condition, one Air-flow-control base, and 7 coils, per winner.... $25+ value at any B&M!

    Yes, they will be shipped at no cost to you!

    The first winner will have choice of coil resistance for the box of coils (2.2, 1.8, or 1.5), and second winner will have choice of the remainder, unless you want 1.5 Ohm, too, as I have plenty of those.



    Good Luck to all!
