There are a couple of things I want to report.
The first is occurring when I click the little dot next to a topic to go directly to the most recent posts(s). When I see a new post and click the dot, the page isn't landing on the newest post. Sometimes it is half-way through the new post and other times it is landing all the way at the bottom of the page. I have experienced this in both Chrome and IE.
The other issue is exclusive to IE. The little "New' graphic that pops up next to the categories on the main forum page when there is new content in a particular category is not displaying. It works fine in Chrome, just not in IE.
@Christopher, if you happen to reply to this message, shoot me a PM along with it and I'll try to grab some screenshots to describe exactly what I'm talking about.

I think @Christopherbroke the interwebs. I'm having a couple of issues as well. Not with what @canyreported, but a couple of other minor things. Another post pending....

My better half has finally learned the "don't ask, don't tell" policy I have implemented regarding my vape equipment. The one time she has asked in recent memory was the best, though. .
HER: Geez! How much vape stuff do you have?
ME: You know better than to ask such a silly question when you really don't want to know.
HER: You're probably right, but where did you get that shiny one? (she pointed to one of my mech mods)
ME: YOU bought it for me for Father's Day in 2015!
HER: I did?
ME: Yep. I still have the box with the note you wrote attached to it that says, "don't friggin blow yourself up".

okay y'all
in RTA
11 hours ago, Foofightervapegirl said:so I'm putting this here because I'm soon to get a Griffin 25 plus rta. now my boyfriend has made me two coils,kanthal a1,24 guage. six wraps each, it's what he uses in his griffin,but he saw the 25 plus, and thought it would be easier for me. it took him all of and I'm not kidding two minutes. so I have the coils made up and he gave me plenty of organic cotton. with this build it clocks in at .3.....any advice before I take the plunge? I'm getting the coil master v3 kit as well.
My advice - don't let yourself get locked in on the 24 gauge, 6 wrap dual at .3 ohms. Wire is cheap. Experiment with different gauges, different id's (inside diameters), different wrap numbers, etc. You may find you like a dual 7 wrap with 26 gauge around the 3mm coil jig which would clock in at about .5 ohms or you may find you like a dual 5 wrap with 24 gauge around the 2.5mm coil jig, which would clock in at about .2 ohms.
Have fun and experiment. Watch a lot of videos, pay attention to instruction and make sure you only work when direct adult supervision is present.

Sor .3 is mostly recommended?
My recommendation - try them both. Run at least a full tank with each coil, then decide which you like better. Preferences vary from person to person and opinions on which coil to use are, for the most part, purely subjective. If it was me, I would run the .3 ohm because I am not necessarily worried about battery life or liquid consumption so it is closer to my personal vaping style. @Bebop, on the other hand, might prefer the .5 ohm specifically because it will cut down on the amount of liquid consumed and slightly extend battery life.
Either of the coils should give you a good vape experience, though.

Although I have only been vaping for a couple of years and others here have been vaping for a lot longer, I can still get coils for every single tank I have in my possession, some of which have been around quite a bit longer than I have been vaping. Things like the Kanger KPT2's and 3's and Kanger E-vod tanks in my arsenal are a few examples of tanks that have been around longer than I have been vaping, but coils are still widely available. I have tanks from Kanger, Aspire, HorizonTech, SMOKTech, Sense, Beyond Vape and more and I can easily find coils for any of them.

First, I moved this thread from "Coils" to "Wick and Wire".
Second, are you re-wicking factory coils or is there an RBA deck for the Mini Helmet I'm not aware of? Re-building and re-wicking factory coils can be tricky. It isn't impossible, but the odds of having a very different experience from a re-built and/or re-wicked factory drop-in coil vs. a brand new coil are very high.

Smok Alien Kit in gold. Five .4ohm replacement coils for the baby beast. A pen mod holder. Last but not least thirty feet of the coveted 28ga SS316L wire! Thanks VT Store! You Rock!!!!
Only 30 feet? 😱

Which Sigelei mod are you running? Are you using drop in coils in a tank or hand made coils?
-

Ok, yes, it does appear to be depressed below the threads.
Try cleaning it with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Sometimes that is enough to get rid of whatever is causing a pin to stick. If it doesn't work, then you should be able to get it up with some tweezers or very fine tipped needle nose pliers. Once you get the pin up, check the Troll without the heatsink.

I just got my troll v2 today so I try it on RX200(it around 3 years old mod) and it's keep said " no atomizer " so I try with heatsink also the same but when I try Hellboy with heatsink on it worked fine and I try Hellboy with no heatsink it also said "no atomizer". Is this mean my Troll is broken ??

No, it doesn't necessarily mean your Troll is broken, especially since you say the same thing happens with the Hellboy. It could be several things but is likely a connection issue of some sore.
Try cleaning the 510 connector on the mod and Troll to see if that fixes your issue.
Check to make sure the 510 pin on the mod isn't getting stuck in the "down" position (I have seen this issue with several RX200 series mods).
Check that your coil(s) are not loose.
Check to make sure the airflow ring isn't making contact with the coil(s) (this would be causing a short).
Make sure you are in the correct mode for the type of coil you have on it.
Make sure your coil resistance isn't too low.
Make sure the screw on the bottom of the RDA is turned out far enough to be making contact with the 510 pin.
Also, provide pics if possible. The old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" is true. Sometimes people around here can tell what is wrong simply by looking at a picture and one of us may be able to give you a definite answer.
Those are all of the suggestions I have off the top of my head, but I'm sure I'll think of more or someone else will chime in. People around here are good like that.

Try these steps in this order
- Remove the batteries from your G-Priv
- Connect USB to PC (bot NOT to G-Priv)
- Press hold the fire button on the G-Priv and connect the USB to the G-Priv.

Bravo! Seriously, bravo dude! Sweet editing, intro, segues, as well as review!
Thank you, kind sir! I got a new GoPro for Christmas and am currently experimenting with it so I can do something a little more interesting than me just sitting in front of a sheet for future videos. I have several in mind.

lol...KCAVO
Keep Calm and Vape On
When in doubt, consider this: so far there have been zero studies to definitively conclude vaping is dangerous to your health. There have also been zero studies to definitively conclude it is perfectly safe. But...there have been plenty of studies that show vaping is up to 95% safer than cigarettes.

Thanks Earthling! I just used the same stuff the guy at the shop used, had to put some elbow grease into it. I dont mine a lil patina either but after a while it starts to irk me....lol

The guy at one of my old local shops actually had a pretty cool little setup for polishing. He took an old RDA base that couldn't be repaired and welded a broken 1/4" hex wrench to the RDA base where the posts used to be. The 510 threads were still good. He would insert the RDA/hex wrench contraption into a drill chuck, screw a mod onto the old RDA base and let the drill do the work for him. Sadly the shop closed down. Might talk my brother into doing something similar for me if I ever come across an RDA base that can't be repaired.

There are other companies that tested the liquids for themselves after he released his report. Even Suicide Bunny responded to it and, after changing their ingredients, had their own testing done. It should be noted that there were many, many liquids tested by many manufacturers. Suicide Bunny just seemed to take the brunt of the criticism.
Click this link. Fortunately Google and I are great friends. There is a tone of information specifically citing Mother's Milk by Suicide Bunny.
-
If I remember correctly it was first reported by Dr. Konstatinos Farsalinos. He is actually a huge advocate for vaping and has conducted several studies on the effects of vaping. He conducted some independent tests on several eliquids a couple of years ago and found that several liquids actually contained diacetyl and another chemical called acetyl propionyl. Both chemicals are commonly used and are safe for ingestion, but are not regarded as safe for inhalation. Somehow Suicide Bunny eliquids as a brand and Mother's Milk eliquid became the scapegoat in the whole situation when the news started getting spread around the internet. The truth of the matter is, something like 70% of the liquids he tested contained diacetyl, acetyl propionyl or both.

In a word, yes.
There is nothing specific about strawberry flavoring unless you happen to be allergic to strawberries and the flavoring is naturally extracted from strawberries. The strawberry flavor you read about was most likely cited from an old story about a particular liquid that was found to contain (at the time) a high amount of a chemical called diacetyl. The liquid in question was Mother's Milk manufactured by Suicide Bunny. Even if you are vaping that now, they have since changed their formula and no longer use diacetyl in any of their products.
There are a lot of myths and misinformation being spread around the internet. But there are also a lot of ways to debunk those myths and get the real story behind the information. Hitting up the forums and asking is one way. Google is another. Trust me, for every negative story out there about vaping in general, there is a story to debunk the bad information in it.

Looks great, Shen. I need to do the same with my Arthas. Looking a little worse for the wear.

Yeah, that's my guess too. It's the pg content. Below .5 ohms, subohmers tend to use max vg juices. It could be the particular flavorings used too which are likely to be pg based.
I don't know about that. I routinely run coils at .15 ohms and I use a few juices that are 60/40 or 70/30 VG/PG and I don't get any popping. I have, however, heard of similar issues specifically with the notch coils. I seem to recall seeing a solution somewhere on a different site. I'll take a look around and see if I can find it.

OK...turns out I should have dived a little deeper into the escribe software. It will do everything for me as far as calculating overall efficiency based on the way I vape. As an added bonus, it looks like it will also simulate different settings, so I may be able to run simulations based on how others vape so I can make a somewhat educated recommendation to people who are looking at a DNA equipped mod in the future.

"most recent" post issues
in Website Feedback & Bug Reporting
Posted · Edited by Adversarious1
Okay...the first issue I reported seems to have resolved itself. Funny, considering the whole reason I decided to report it was because it was still happening less than five minutes before I typed it up.
Wait...I take it back. I resolved itself in Chrome, but not in IE. In IE it is still landing beyond the top of the newest post, and I think the only reason it didn't land further down is because the page was already scrolled down as far as it would go.
Here are a couple of screen grabs of the other issue
This first one is how it appears in Chrome
