  1. [mention=39716]Edna[/mention]  Thanks!  I'm like a little kid with this.  I was so excited when it worked.  Showed my wife.  Showed the cats.  Chain hit till I had to lay down from the nicotine.  OoooPs, lol.


    I don't even have a deck to put my wound coils on but wrapped a few just to see how it works. Showed the wife all pleased with myself...she looks at em and is like wtf are those....jeeze woman can I get a sammich?

  2. You almost have it.  You are associating ohms with flavor and watts with vapor.  It's like comparing apples with oranges.  Both are fruit, but they provide different flavors and different vitamins.

    Higher resistance (higher ohms) + lower wattage = more flavor (in a VERY general sense.  There is MUCH more to it than coil resistance and the power you are using.)

    Lower resistance (lower ohms) + Higher wattage = more vapor (again, in a VERY general sense.  There is more to producing vapor than just plopping in a .15 coil and cranking the watts up to 125.

    I still eat mud I suppose lol.

     

    I guess what I'm trying to wrap my head around is this. Same mod same battery same tank. Generally speaking .4 coil... I crank up wattage and I get more vapor and flavor seems to weaken. I like the vapo at 40 watts like the lung feel flavor is ok but I chain vape lung hits and it gets hot quick. Turn down watts not so hot but weaker vapor and flavor is ok...different but ok.

  3. Honestly that was exactly what I was wanting to know. You summed it up if I read it right. People go with lower resistance to get better flavor. They crank up the wattage for vapor production.

    Lower ohms more flavor
    Higher wattage more cloud

    So all of these high wattage mods. They want big cloud with big flavor? Now I'm carrying a vapor flask 150w and I couldn't imagine pushing it that high nor have I seen coils that high. How ever I am making an assumption here they this is to increase the available overhead so to speak? If I have a 150w capable device and only running at 40w then theoretically I am only pushing it less that 50% of its ability? If I am on track here then knowing I am not really pushing it then I would be well suited with a sub 100 watt mod? It makes me think of driving a Ferrari only in the school zones. I may be able to go 150 mph but it's not likely.

    Aww heck I reread got it backwards.

    Low ohms more vapor less flavor. High watts more vapor less flavor. With lower ohms you need less wattage for similar vapor and flavor? But possibly a cooler vapor?

  5. I'm perfectly fine with that.. glad ya asked ! Sometimes I ramble on and I know what I want to ask but finding the correct way to phrase can be a challenge. Makes googling things exciting! For that reason I generally do t belong to many groups and end up lurking more than talking. But heck I'm so interested and confused.

     

    I guess I have always vape the same and now I want to broaden my knowledge. I have a hard time remembering some stuff but I'm trying. I started like 2 years ago with a hand me down from a friend. He was like here use this and do that and I guess I learned this is just how it is. But now I'm experiencing and trying different things and getting more confused. It hit me the other day when buying coils for my baby beast. The gal at the shop was like what resistance ya want? My response is uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I dunno. Gimme 3 of what ya got because I can't remember what I have now or what I liked. So it made me think I need to get basic. And figure everything out from the start. Odd thing is I am sitting here looking at 3 different mods and 5 different tanks on my desk I've tried some different things but my list of what I like is way shorter of what I didn't like. I think.

     

    I'm going to step into this almost question by question because information overload if I ask to many at once

     

    So I look up information on coils. All given for the same tank what type of difference should I see with the different resistances? Right now I have a couple baby beasts and the current is .4 coils. What should I expect for higher and lower?

  6. Perhaps it's me but I find the more I read the more confusing vaping gets. I have been doing this a couple of years now and I am finding what I thought I knew I'm not sure what I know? [emoji848] most of what I am finding out there is in my opinion outdated information that hasn't kept up with the technology. Any recommendations on sources for the basics or someone very patient to make some basic things make sense to my simple mind? Maybe someone knowledgeable that would entertain pms on a question and answer base or here in the thread. I have spent the last few days just muddying up already murky water in my search for knowledge of vaping.

  7. The first step to the creation of Wally's laboratory is complete.  510ml of PG, VG, Nic base is in, along with a butt load of small bottles.  Now I just have to decide a a few recopies to try and order some flavors.  This is the hard part.   


    Ooo Walt I have been wanting to pull the trigger on making my own juices I do t know what my hold up is

  8. My current setup is a vapor flask 150w with a baby beast tank on top. I haven't decided which coil I prefer as they all seem the same to me however I am currently running the quad coil .4 at 42 watts Mainly just vape for flavor and nic. This is my mobile setup I take to work and driving around.

     

    Typically vape the VT green apple, pancake man or a Juice for the Masses grape apple 80/20 I get locally.

     

    Now for bumming around the house watching tv I feel like I would be interested in getting started with a dropper because I prefer the flavor of clean wicking. I messed around with rewicking prebuilt coils on my cleito and kanger but was hit and miss in putting it back together successfully without tweaking out the wire. I had about a 50% rate of getting it to work or throwing it away. I figured I would get a tool set with all I needed and move on to the RDA. I got the coil master after watching a lot of reviews and ended up with their V2 kit.

    So here I am looking for something that I can rebuild/wick without creating too much frustration. Not looking into the fancy klapton twisted wire fancy this and that. Something more along a single or dual coil setup. I am wondering about trying SS to make use of the temp settings on my vapor flask. The 22mm sizeof the baby beast sits well but a 24mm wouldn't break my heart but I'd prefer the 22mm I think. I almost bought a Tsunami at the local B&M but the price was double what I remember VT having it for and just figured I would hold off until I flushed out my questions and got advice. Generally I'm not a chatter in those shops I just get what I need and leave. Any help is appreciated.

  9. Went with you guys suggestions and went ahead and ordered the flask mod with a couple of those mxjo batteries. Hopefully they will work well in that mod. Also got the baby beast tank based off the video review from Adversarious1 with some of the v8 coils. I will just try a new tank and see if it gets me where I want. I can see down the road if I really want to get into temp control.

  10. The leaking isn't all the time which confuses me it's random. Not always with a full tank not after filling. It will just be sitting there not being used and I will see a trail of juice and the. It's all over my hands on my phone on my iPad on my pants. I don't remember what I liked or disliked about my Triton tank or the one that came with the sub box. When the cleito came out I got it just because it was new. I dislike how I have to drain the tank to change coils.

    Like I said I like the pancake man right now but it doesn't say what the pg/vg ratio is so I don't know. I definitely prefer the sweets. I wish I could find something that doesn't dehydrate me however. I drink so much water and constantly thirsty and dry mouth since the switch from analog. Even been tested for diabetes because of the thirst.

    I was looking at the TFV8 tank but it says mouth to lung and I prefer direct lung. I like how it looks to fill. A lot of the jibber jabber confuses me so I look for key phrases such as that. Same for the Nautilus. It usually just frustrates me and I don't buy anything because I'm afraid of getting something that doesn't work for me. I only thought a tc setup to keep the vape cooler because like I said this tends to run hot at times.

    Now I remember I didn't like the kanger tank because of the airflow was too restrictive

  11. Shoot, I've been doing this since 2008 and it makes my head spin too. Ridiculous amount of options these days!
    You'll likely get a ton of answers, mostly because there are so many options but I find I have two tanks that seem to do well in the Vapor Talk Store. The Nautilus or the Nautilus Mini. The tank has been around for a little while but it's solid, I personally haven't had leaking issues with it and I get a nice warm vape. (I also fly often which is the ultimate leak test with the cabin pressure) I should note that what liquid you use is important too, if the liquid is too thin (PG based) it'll leak everywhere. 
    Another option our customers all seem to love is the TFV8 Beast Tank. Performs well, no leaking issues and lots of coil options. (For example sounds like you might want to opt for temp control) 
    If you want a complete no fuss solution, you might also try looking at some of the AIO kits. They're cheap but mostly hassle free. The voltage is much much lower but I find the vapor product is still decent. 
    As for the device I'm about to add a couple new devices this evening. One of them being the new Vape Forward Vapor Flask 150w. They literally just arrived and it's a sleek looking thing! (I might even dip into the inventory and snag one for myself)

  12. hmm you definitely shouldn't have any leaking! (I hate the smell of  eliquid on my hands) Sounds like the setup you have now isn't horrible outside of the leaking issue. Are you sure the tank isn't missing any of it's rubber o - rings? (I had my old Aerotank start leaking through the air holes only to find out one of the rubber rings had fallen off)


    Thank you for the reply. I don't feel the setup is bad per say either but I am not opposed to something new and retiring this to a backup. I have looked for missing rings or nicks and don't see anything. When I remove my tank it isn't uncommon to see some juice in the connector either and I clean it out with a q tip. Like I said a cooler running setup would be preferred because as I vape it kind of burns the roof of my mouth around the 4th pull. I didn't know if maybe a temp control setup. I could alter how I vape but I thought about maybe tuning my setup would be better to changing my style. There is so much information out there my head spins and I get confused. I used the RTA setup and was cleaning the coils and putting new cotton in for a while but got tired of the weekly routine and went back to drop in coils.
