    I'm getting some pinapple to try soon. We got some dragonfuit and this recipe,that I'm posting is a favorite: 

    4 mils dragonfruit

    1 mil cranberry

    1mil strawberry ripe

    1 mil raspberry

    .5 mils watermelon 

    1 mil sweetener

    70/30 60 mil bottle ,for 120 I take the dragonfruit up two,and the other flavors up to 1.5 or 2 mils,same amount if sweetener. All TFA, except raspberry is loranne,we use organic liquid stevia for sweetener.

    Wow!  You are really gettin down on this mixing thing!  That looks great!  

  2. Welcome!  

    The basic drill is to start low with the power setting and slowly move it up.  At some point you will find peak flavor.  That's your sweet spot.  Coil life has a lot to do with the juice you use.  Thick, sweet juices gum up a coil faster.  I looked for replacement coils for the NRG and as far as I can tell they are all for wattage mode only.  The temp control should work well on your switcher if you ever want to try it.  You will need an atty with a compatible coil for TC.  

  3. First, I just want to make sure the mod is using 18650's.  Some use lipos.  What mod are you using?  If it does use 18650's then you want to go to a vape shop and buy some or if you order some online I would suggest either Sony VTC5A or LG HG2 batteries.  There are others that are good too but if you get either of these you will be in good shape.

    Hey Walt, need some help. I have the same as mentioned above. It has sat idle for months and now will not charge. Tried escribe usb recovery for 15 hours and the 3 cells went down .01%. Any advice would be very much appreciated

    Probably time for new batteries.  Batteries discharge slowly while sitting.  They have probably discharged to the point of no return.  .01% is extremely low.  Worst thing that could happen is that you end up with a brand new good set of batteries.

    @Walt So does this really help the steeping process?

    It seems to so far @cany.  Testing is going to take time as I am simply mixing with the homogenizer when a current juice runs out and I need to replace it.  I'll probably know more in about six months or so.

    Genius absolutely genius. never thought to do this. in a way your speed steeping. Although I would like to know is the liquid changing color (getting darker in color) from nicotine oxidation like regular steeping?

    It really seems to assist the process of aging.  I keep a lid on during most of the process except for the actual use of the homogenizer.  This way I'm not introducing oxygen and don't get discoloration from the nicotine oxidation.  From what I can tell so far, actual "sitting" does still enhance flavor but a few days of sitting seems to be about the apex of change.  Keeping the finished mixes in a filing cabinet drawer also helps minimize oxidation.  Large batches will darken some just from long periods of time before it's used up.

    What is TPA? I'm not familiar with that abbreviation/ brand name. I'm going to get this going soon!

    TPA and TFA are the same company basically.  The Perfumer's Apprentice and The Flavor Apprentice.  Sometimes you will also see the abbreviation FA.  Here's a snipette from Wizard Labs where I buy a lot of my flavors.

  9. Welcome to the forum Jack.  Where to start........  Understanding voltage, amperage, wattage, and resistance is one of the keys to successfully building coils.  I guess the first thing to find out is what kind of wire are you using, e.g. kanthal, stainless, NI, titanium, etc.  Each kind of wire will be a different resistance for the same length of wire.

    It's literally what I pick anytime I go to a vape shop that mixes. I have not found a vendor brand, and it's one of those "I can't quite put my finger on it" things. If anybody has a good one, I would love to have something to start from or keep, thanks!!

    This is the one I like.

    With the refillable pods, since they have 1.0 - 1.2 ohm coils in them, you really don't have to increase the nic if you don't want to.  Just sayin'.  :) 

    That's cool.  I might just give on a try then.  Just can't see increasing the nic if I don't need to.  

  12. Wow, late to the party.. @Bebop Congratulations on five years!!!!!   Huge!!!  Pod's......  No idea.  I like the look and the concept, just haven't tried any.  Nic salts.  I could be just full of it but I'm down to 2mg and like the idea.  I have it in my head if I start vaping nic salts that I will be increasing my addiction.  It is the throat hit that I find irritating and over time is lowering my nic levels.   Obviously the salts take care of that.  Almost seems nefarious in a sense.

    I meant lower resistance,my coil is  directly over the airflow. I've got a .70 ohm build running at 40 watts. No plug. Pretty good. Does the coil over the airflow make a difference? My question I guess was would it hurt anything? I didn't know about just having two feeding slots for the juice. I am running a 60/40 artemis clone I made and I like it. It is the single coil deck.  Not the two post.Ot has interchangeable decks that screw in.

     

    Not sure I fully understand but yes you can go to a lower resistance and yes having the coil directly over the airflow makes a huge difference.  You want the air to come up, circle around the coil and carry the vaper with it up through the chimney.  The height of the coil above the airflow is kinda atty dependent.  They seem to all have a "sweet spot".  In general it's best to keep the coil pretty close to the airflow.

    Well, I suppose they have not improved, we are both having to push our 510 pins down! And my switch does the opposite,fires too long if I'm not very careful. We will be going back to the aspire archon that had way better battery life and no issues! He had one, I didn't but I tried his and liked it alot. His survived a year of dropping and construction work!

    It's a shame.  They are sharp looking mods and feel good in the hand.  I really enjoyed the "firing bar" feel.  I went to an Aspire Speeder for a fire bar and it performs a lot better.  Better mod all around.
