    Using 24g instead of 22g you will need less wraps. Less wraps mean less wire to heat up using the same ohms, you may notice your coil will heat up faster.

    On the flip side, using 22g with more wraps to get to the same resistance provides for more surface area on the coil(s) which in turn allows for more liquid to be vaporized.  That can lead to more vapor and flavor, or it can be a complete disaster all the way around.  It's all about experimentation and finding your personal preference(s) though. 

  2. With this I'm out for awhile.  This is my holy grail at least for the time being.  Smok GX350 Kit with Big Baby Beast.  Holy Ba-Jesus!  Now I get what everybody is raving about.  That tank drips with flavor.  I feel like I need to take time to chew.  I also get the "turn down the nic as you turn up the watts".  This thing hits like a sledge hammer!  I still can't get it up to recommended wattage.  Tooooooo much for me!  I got it to 110 watts.  That's my limit.  Tried 120 and I thought it would blow a hole in the back of my head.  Ya, it's a juice hog but I can only hit it about once every 15 or 20 minutes.  Drank two bottles of water in the last hour too.  Yowzers!!!

    Tell us more about that GX350. I'm thinking about picking one up as a birthday (and vape-a-versary) gift to myself.


    Sent from my heart using the Vapor Talk App. OK...OK...I'm kidding. I have no heart. But I did use the Vapor Talk Mobile App.

  3. Try to contact vapenw.  According to their website the kit is in stock.

    Correction:  The site says "in stock" until you select a color option.  In any event, it looks like it has already been released, as other sites have it in stock (including still saying it stock after making a color selection.)

  4. I've been following this thread with interest, just to kind of get an idea of what people suggested.

    Vaping, while originally started to get me off the analogs, has become yet another hobby for me.  I already had plenty of hobbies, though.  From guns to scale model building to running a website for a model club I belong to to guitars.  The only difference between the things I do now and the things I did when I smoked is the fact that instead of having an ashtray sitting next to me on my main workbench or my mobile workbench, I have a mod (or 2...or 3) sitting next to me.

    The hardest part for me when I first quit was avoiding those things I normally associated with smoking.  Things like drinking, bars, friends who still smoke, etc.  I really didn't find myself getting bored because I wasn't smoking anymore, I just kept living life as I already did with only those few exceptions.  So you may not need a new hobby, you may only need to keep doing what you did prior to quitting with the exception of avoiding those triggers.

    I have been building for over a year. I just got a new RDA the other day, just for the fact that it had 3 post and not 4. I normally buy them build till I get bored with it then sell it to get a new one. I have just been trying to cut down on it cause wire is super hard to find in the sizes I want and I hate waiting for the mail. I have only had my Alien for 3 weeks and I am already looking to sale it. Today I have built to past the time but I got frustrated cause I want a .5 and it reads .5 on the ohlm reader but when I put on my mod its .4...

    The ohm meter is more than likely more accurate than the mod.

    I see that the TCR value for kanthal is .00002.  Could this be used in a manual temp set-up for TC kanthal?

    In theory, yes.  The early TC mods that have basic settings for Ni, Ti, SS are essentially just changing the TCR to match those wire types.  With newer TC mods that have TCR and/or TFR settings you should be able to set the dial in the TCR value to match the value of kanthal and get close results.  The problem is the lower the TCR value, the less accurate the results are going to be.  It just isn't something I'm willing to toy around with, though.  I'm allergic to blowing myself up.

    Call me crazy, but, There's nothing like a long slow draw. In itself it is a very relaxing experience.  Couple that with a great tasting vape and I have Nirvana!   

    I'm loving my Hohm Slice mod since it does TC with kanthal.  The majority of my drop in coils are kanthal because other coils aren't available for the tanks I prefer to use and that's definitely a nice bonus.  I have switched to primarily SS for my handmade coils because they can be vaped either way.  I think there is another company besides Hohm Tech that is making a TC device that fires kanthal in TC now, but it was an obscure manufacturer.  I also heard a rumor (literally heard, didn't read) that Evlov is working on a DNA chip that will fire kanthal.  If that happens, I'll truly be in heaven.

    $40? That sounds like what my local B&M might charge.. appreciate your reply but I think I will wait to see if I can get it cheaper elsewhere

    For what it's worth, MSRP on the TFV12 according to SMOK's website is going to be $59.99. The MSRP for the TFV8 Cloud Beast is $54.99.  Considering there are plenty of places where a Cloud Beast can be had for about $30 online I expect to be able to find the TFV12 for around $35-$40 online.  The price will likely be closer to $40 for a bit and will start to drop to around $35 after the initial "ooooohh" and "aaahhhh" period.

    Thanks @Edna  I would feel embarrassed but I'm too old for that, lol.  This is not my first experience with operator headspace.  I usually don't trip over mountains, it' usually a crack in the sidewalk.  I really like the concept of temp control.  I'm hoping I can find a mod/atomizer that will do it well.  I can imagine a quick ramp up and a consistent temperature vape.  I'm getting better breathing abilities the longer I go without analogs.  I'm finding I draw often between 7 and 8 seconds.  That's a lot of time for temp ramp on wattage mode.  That's not to say vaping in wattage mode isn't a pleasure, it is.  Of course maybe temp control will never live up to my expectations, but I love experimenting.   

    The beautiful thing about TC  - hit the desired temp and the chip will adjust the wattage as necessary to maintain the temp.  I could never take a 7-8 second hit in wattage mode.  It will continue to get hotter.  The consistent temps help with longer draws and that's just one of the reasons I love TC.

    There likely won't be new inventory when we re-open (I am not looking forwarded to having to inventory everything we have) BUT We plan to place a huge order once everything is setup :) Lot of room for new goodies. At least until the FDA comes kicking down the door :D

    Badge be damned...I have guns and ammo.  I was saving the ammo for the zombie apocalypse, but I'll be happy to use it all up in the vapocalypse in defense of vaping instead.

    Its the starter version.. Pen style

    Sent from my LG-D851 using The Vapor Talk mobile app
     

    Okay, I can't personally confirm this as it's based on info from another forum and photos of the AIO starter kit and I don't own one, but...

    Check the bottom of the mod.  There should be a little hole right in the center.  According to a couple of threads I saw elsewhere this is not a vent hole as one might expect, but is actually the access are to conduct a hard reset on the mod.  Use a pen or paperclip to gently check the inside for a tiny button (similar to the reset button on many wifi routers or other electronic devices).  Press the button for a few seconds and this should perform a hard reset on the control board inside the mod.  That might fix the issue you are experiencing.

    The area where the button should be (again, according to info from another forum) is depicted in the following pic:

    @Ednamay be able to confirm whether or not this is an actual reset button access location or a vent hole.  At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I got my info from another forum where someone described a similar issue and this was their solution.
