  1. Well... I spent time in the man cave (AKA garage) and worked on the Phoenix Mod a bit. Put the magnets in the enclosure, soldered the MOSFETS together, and segregated parts into a box for it. Still waiting on two critical parts to arrive before I do the layout on the case and drill holes. I'm kinda stuck until I get those parts.
  2. By running them in parallel you basically have a 60C 1,800 mAh battery.
  3. Yep... I'm going to need to run quad 28 Ga Kanthal coils in the atomizer (4 mm diameter 11 wraps each). Thinking it will need to be in my Temple 30 mm RDA which has tons of air flow.
  4. Error in post, continuous current is 60A. Cells are 3S 30C.
  5. Well... I've got several Mods in process but the one I'm fully doing on my own is a Hammond 1590BBK dual MOSFET dual 900 mAh LiPo with dual battery meters to monitor each cell pack. It's called the Pheonix since I'm using a lot of spare parts on hand to make it. I'm still waiting on the battery meters and a dual Schottky diode to come in the mail. This beast will be capable of 30 Amps continuous current. Below is the case after laser etching.
  6. Act like you are on a business call... maybe they will go away. Or... act like you are receiving a call about the positive STD results.
  7. Don't do that... one of them may like it!
  8. I like the looks of the VT75 too. I would say that I wish its edges were more rounded. But nonetheless I still like it. Oh, I forgot to mention that it must be a very efficient Mod because I get great battery life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. It isn't like having a Hohm Slice in your hand but it isn't obtrusive in size. It's just slightly bigger than the SMOK Alien. I do agree... a better company and Mod name would be better! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm surprised that I haven't seen any posts on the VOOPOO DRAG. It's a great performing dual 18650 Mod. Very accurate and well built. Response time (push of fire button to full power) is amazing. Max Wattage is 157 Watts and TC is accurate too. I have one and I really like it. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Yep, know the feeling... It's way too infrequent that I cruise through here. Life is very full and busy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Welcome fellow Tennessee vaper! I've been vaping and tobacco free for two years come this Friday. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  13. So, what perplexes me is why the FDA isn't going after regulations on grills... they are used in food preparation... Oh, blenders, mixers, refrigerators, ovens, and so forth. This is one of the most disgusting and blatant abuse of authority I have seen in my life.
  14. Agree with@hicksvilleshick. I have one and did the firmware update to 3.01 without any difficlty. I also have the eVic VTC mini and frankly it's my favorite single battery Mod.
  15. I have a Cuboid and like it. The only slight negative I have is the battery door can be a little difficult to open when there are no batteries in it. I have also done the firmware update to 3.01 without any difficlty.
  16. You can thin the e-juice (~30 mil) with about 10 drops of distilled water then shake thoroughly. Also you may just want to go with increments of 5 drops until it has the appearance/viscosity you are targeting.
  17. Thank you for elaborating and pointing him to Steam-Engine! You are correct. I was trying to keep it simple. However, resistance does matter. Simply put, if you leave the wattage the same and change coil resistance you will have an unsatisfactory vape. Say you have a 0.5 ohm coil (24 ga Kanthal, 1/8" ID) running at 30 Watts. Steam-Engine shows a Heat Flux of 265 mW/mm^2. Now change the resistance to 1.2 ohms. Steam-Engine now shows a Heat Flux of 110 mW/mm^2. To get the same Heat Flux of 265 mW/mm^2 you have to change the wattage to 72 Watts. Therefore, with everything unchanged except the resistance (# of wraps) you will have to change the wattage by 42 watts to get the same Heat Flux. Granted, this only addresses the temperature of the vape and due to the increased number of wraps you will have greater surface area contact with the wicking which will increase the amount of vapor being produced. The simple point I am trying to make is that resistance does matter significantly, as well as a number of other factors. A person can go as deep into it as they want. It's a great hobby as well as a great alternative to analog smokes. It really comes down to finding your personal preference. As you continue to vape your preference may change (well, mine did as well as a multitude of other Vapers). My suggestions are based upon my journey and trying to recommend something that would minimize potential future purchases and provide a satisfying vaping experience for the longest time possible. With all that's been said, the OP may find that getting an Aspire Nautilus tank would be all that's needed to get a satisfying vape with their 20 Watt Mod... for now. I still have one myself and still use it ocasionally, although I've increased the air flow by drilling the largest air intake hole larger as well as drilling the coil positive pin air flow larger as well. The OP was asking about a tank that had greater vapor production... it would help if we knew what they had right now. I may have missed it but I don't recall the OP ever saying. All I know is that the OP has a 20 Watt istick Mod that they aren't thrilled with.
  18. Yes, yes it does! Power=Voltage×Current, and Voltage=CurrentxResistance Ohm's Law
  19. My single battery mods don't even last 3-4 hours. I had to carry two extra charged batteries to work to get home. I had four batteries to get through the day. Of course that's with me using a 0.5 ohm coil. The higher the resistance of the coil the lower the wattage will be and consequently the longer the battery (ies) will last. I just don't like the higher ohm coils mainly because I've generally found them to have a more restrictive draw.
  20. First, I operate between 25% and 50% of the design capacity and I figure that operating there is putting less stress on the mod ever would result in it lasting longer. Second, with 3 batteries, although they be in series, will last longer and give you more vape time. This is a result of a bucking circuit in the mod that bucks the voltage town so that way you get a little bit longer life out of the battery.
  21. It won't go that high unless you set it there. I usually vape anywhere from 25W to 50W 95% of the time. The other 5% is 15 to 18 Watts and 65 to 75 Watts
