I don't use anything but 18650 myself, and use a nitecore D2 charger, after doing some research I figure if I had 20/21700 batteries I would get the nitecore Q2 which is a 2 bay charger, and sells for about $20.00, the Q4 is a 4 bay, and the Q6 is a 6 bay. In my opinion nitecore makes the best chargers.

the only other way I know is to get a tank with a rebuildable atomizer and learn to make your own coils.
That's what I do, haven't bought a coil in years.

your battery fully charged will put out 4.2V at 30A you can have a 0.14 coil. 3.7 is the nominal voltage the less the charge the lower the volts, the more it is charged the more the volts. You should build to the highest volts.

A good way to determine what the wattage should be to get a certain voltage is to use this website http://www.steam-engine.org/ohm.html
Just put your coil resistance in, put in your voltage, and the wattage will be displayed. A example would be a .14 coil at 3.7 volts would give you about 98 watts.
I hope this is helpful.

I don't build any coils below .5 ohms, most of my coils are .7 - .8, unless I use dual coils I never get below .5
Smok coils are usually dual coil or even more, I believe they make a 8 coil setup. A .15 setup with 8 coils would be 1.2 ohms per coil, takes a lot of power to fire 8 coils.
As far as the LG HG2 batteries go they are all I use, so I had to mention that they are 20A.

I hate to disagree with a fellow poster, but mooch rates the LG HG2 as a 20A battery, here is a link

You don't say what kind of tank and mod you have. The most common solution to your problem is probably the center pin on the mod isn't high enough, if you use a pin or toothpick to pry it up a little bit it will probably help. If you use a metal pin or needle to pry it up keep your fingers away from the fire button, or remove the batteries if possible.
I guess you did say what kind of mod you have in the title.

I only have 1 painted mod with all the paint left on it, with the exception of the bottom. It's a old Kbox 50w non TC. I used a sonic cleaner to clean 1 of my black top tank minis, and most of the paint came off, and they are solid SS under the paint. Wasn't very hard to remove the rest of the paint. I cleaned a old black subtank mini with a sonic cleaner, and none of the paint came off, tells me the old paint jobs are much better than the new paint jobs.

I don't think I will be ordering anything soon. I just looked at my stash, and I have 1 Kanger 160w box mod, 2 75w toptank mini kits (1 black, 1 platinum) 3 toptank mini tanks, and 2 nano tanks, all in unopened boxes. That's not counting the 7 box mods and 4 subvods that I'm currently using. I think I may have over bought in the past. As long as 18650 batteries are available I'm set for life. When I use TC I always use a RBA with a SS coil, but for the subvods I use occ coils, I also use occ coils in the minis when I vape coil killing juices, seems like Kanthal in watt mode works best for coil killing juice. The only time I toss a occ coil is when the plating comes off and exposes the brass. Most brass except medical grade brass contains lead, and I don't think the Chinese use medical grade brass to make coils. (I have to protect the 1 brain cell that I have left)

Welcome back. I can understand the keeping your hands busy habit, I use a 2mg mix with about half of my flavors the other flavors I use 0 nic. Know how it feels to have a bike fall over on you, happened to me this summer. But my leg wasn't under it when it fell over, only had to replace 1 mirror, and tweak the forward control rear brake a little. I have been rebuilding the kanger occ coils I use in my subtanks, and nano tanks, I still have a lot of unopened occ coils left.

I read the story, and found it to be very confusing.
He died at John Peter Smith Hospital two days after crawling from the car.
The medical examiner ruled William Brown’s cause of death as penetrating trauma from an exploding vaporizer pen. His left carotid artery was severed, the report says. Alice Brown said doctors at JPS told her that William suffered a stroke inside the car and eventually had bleeding in his brain.

Personally I use a sonic cleaner for my vaping stuff, I haven't tried using it for factory coils but I use it to clean the RBA coils that I use. It works very well for cleaning coils.

Rich I have some 26ga ss316 Anything I can do with that until I can get 22?
5 wraps with a 3mm id should give you about .3 ohms 4 wraps should be about .25. I find that my best coils are between 5 and 7 wraps. I assume you are using the RBA that came with your subtank mini, so you should be able to get 7 wraps to fit. Experiment a little, and see whats best for you.

The protank (full size) works great on a subvod battery, but it is non adjustable unlike the twist was. The battery alone can be bought at heavens gifts for about $12.00. Hope that helps.

4/5 wraps of 22g 316 will give you about .15 ohms. I use 6 wraps of 28g 316 and get .7 ohms. Nice thing about ss316 is you can use it in TC or watts. I have found watts is better for coil killing juice, but that's just my opinion.

That's right man. I opened her up and the NiCr had burned through. I have YouTube's replacing them and it's doable. You switch it to vertical and put the cotton through. I got my hands on some 22g 304 stainless today from the mechanic... Tried it and pre insertion it was 0.9 ohms. I put it in and it says "low resistance". I don't get it. Maybe it's the chip in the mod. But I have used 0.5 ohm SS and the NiCr is 1.5ohm. doesn't make sense to me that it didn't work... Hmm unless it was shorting inside I guess??!
The leccy is going to look for smaller wire tomoz.
I believe the .9 measurement was probably wrong. To get .9 ohms using 22g 304 you would need to do 30 wraps using a 3mm id even using a 5mm id you would need 20 wraps. (that is according to steam) If you checked the resistance using a multimeter you would have to subtract the resistance of the leads, which can vary depending on the quality, and the length of the leads.
If nothing else use the wire out of a twisty tie, just strip the plastic off of it.(seen that in another post)

I use French vanilla as well as vanilla custard a lot I like them both I got the Madagascar to use in a few tobacco mixes I saw online
I use vanilla custard mixed with blood orange with a little pineapple, and bavarian creme mixed in.

....but I haven't vaped anything but my own mad scientist concoctions for going 2 years now, I think. And now I'm hooked on a Coffee Cheesecake spawned from my own demented mind - Its mainly cheesecake with caramel cappuccino as a secondary flavor and a drizzle of double chocolate with just a touch of sweetener. I'm hooked ....
Mad scientist concoctions are the best. I make a cherry cheesecake, pretty good stuff. A few weeks ago I got some new flavors that I haven't tried yet, I have been using TFA caramel, but read a lot of good things on the net about salted caramel by FW, also got some Madagascar vanilla, and some sweetener. Going to have to try them soon.

I find it strange that only the generation that sometimes eat tide pods are the ones that are suffering from lung disease. I have been vaping for a long time, and my doctor said my lungs have improved. I think the question should be what are they vaping?
The news media never tell the whole story, only the parts that they want to.
