    And be honest, how many others got at least one wicked dry hit from chain vaping while trying to get a good cloud pic (or at least a heck of a nicotine buzz)?

    RX300 mod
    Uses 4 batts that load from the bottom for easy swaps... Also has a stainless 510...all my atties sit flush and fire right up.
    4 batts give it plenty of power that lasts for days
    Been vaping the CloudBeast at 140w..no batt sag, just a good steady vape..Heard Smok is coming out soon with the King CloudBeast that uses a T-12 coil rated up to a whopping 300w..perfect for my RX300 probably.. leastwise I'll have to check it out..

    Or a story where the reporter gets *ALL* the facts and details of the story, not just enough to sensationalize the evils of e-cigs. They never have details, they only say things like, "...it started to spark and then exploded when he put it into his pocket..." and "...he is now in the burn unit at the hospital and must have skin grafts because an ecig battery exploded like a rocket..." Never a mention about what brand of battery, what resistance his coil was, if the battery was loose with change and keys in his pocket, if the batteries were stacked in the unregulated mod, if the mod was damaged in some way and the guy insisted on continuing to use it even though it was sparking when he took a hit... sheesh.

    It's a shame you had to drag him through mud for a half hour to get him to admit what he knew all along.  I will share this with Audrey.  At the same time, I can't pressure.  I taught her to be an independent thinker and I need to honor that even when the disagreement is with me.  She is a sharp individual and I am sure she will make the right decision for her.  I also need to stay cognizant of my enthusiasm and wanting to share that.  I drive my friends nuts with showing them my new mod and the amazing new tank.  I'm rattling on about the accuracy of the temperature control and they are going comatose.

    They dynamics of airflow is a science in it's own right.  I know of it from being part of a team designing oxygen generators that utilized a pressure swing absorption means of creating pure oxygen.  My knowledge of the science is very limited beyond understanding that it is very involved.  Many of these tanks are engineering wonders, IMHO.  Changing the tip is one small part of the equation.  The ego aio is designed through and through to deliver high level nicotine at a limited volume, mimicking an analog.  Numerous considerations go into a cloud chasing machine.  High VG content, low impedance coils with large surface areas to heat more juice at once, a high wicking capacity in the coil to supply enough juice, high constant velocity of air across the coil as well as to the receiver, as well as significant amperage to fuel the coil.  I'm sure there are more considerations that I haven't discovered yet.  I've only been at this a month and I already have a few different set ups for different vaping experiences.

    Agreed wholeheartedly.  Some of the YT guys are downright foolish with the way they pass on some of the information they pass on.  If they don't know what they are talking about, they shouldn't be doing it.  But to quote the late, great Ben "Obi-Wan" Kenobi: "Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"

    I would absolutely love to see a reporter doing a story on an exploding mod ask the "victim" what type of build and what brand of battery they were using when it "exploded".  Chances are this was not just a sub-ohm, but sub .1 ohm.  
    Seriously...WTF are some people thinking building down to .05 ohms or lower?  They might as well grab a revolver and start playing Russian Roulette.
    On the flip side...it might be Darwin's way of thinning out the idiots.

    Don't worry @Walt, your track record won't stay at zero forever.  As far as your daughter wanting confirmation that vaping is perfectly healthy, it will never happen.  We are still inhaling foreign substances.  However, perhaps you can share this tidbit of information with her:
    My health insurance is with Kaiser Permanente and therefore I have a Kaiser doctor.  KP is a huge opponent of vaping and will do just about anything to prescribe meds to their patients.  After about 30 minutes of arguing (yes, actual arguing) with my doctor in which I told him more than once he was an ignorant @#$! who needed to do more objective research rather than "tow the company line and support Big Pharma".  During that same visit he tried to convince me to try gum (been there, done that, causes heartburn), patches (been there, done that, causes horrendously violent dreams if you accidentally fall asleep with one on - a story all in itself), lozenges (been there, done that, causes mouth sores), Welbutrin (been there, done that, didn't do a thing for me) and Chantix.  He actually wrote me a Chantix prescription AFTER we had the argument and I, in my less than tactful nature when I'm ticked off, told him I didn't need any toilet paper.  I wadded the prescription up, told him I was not going to put anything in my body that is KNOWN to have a potential for causing suicidal ideations.  He finally relented and admitted I had some valid points and that he would rather see me vaping than smoking.
    In other words, of course your daughter's best friend is going to be anti-vaping.  Her livelihood depends on prescription drugs.

    Today is an anniversary of sorts.  One month vaping with two weeks analog free.  Cravings are few and far between.  Easy to dismiss as the memory of all the problems with that habit are still fresh.  I have learned a lot in the last month.  Greatly due to you folks here.  It's hard to imagine myself as an analog user as my thoughts have shifted to the next flavor, mod, etc. I would like to try.  The frequency of epiphanies are slowing down as well.  I have also discovered that I am rather proud of my new habit, to the point of being eager to show off my equipment.   That sounded lewd, lol, but you folks know what I mean.

    @Edna (and everybody else) is correct.  If you want a lot of cloud, you are going to go through more juice.  However, a lot of cloud to you might not be a lot of cloud to me.
    The Baby Beast is one of the best tanks I have ever used.  I have at least one in rotation daily, generally reserved for my drive home.  They hold 3 ml of liquid and I can easily go through that in the hour and a half to two hours I spend on the road during my commute each afternoon.  The coils do last me a long time, but that is because of the way I vape.  I am constantly rotating through tanks (at last count I have 11 tanks I regularly rotate through).  So yes, when you aren't using it as a daily driver the coils will last quite a while.  However, over the holidays while I was on vacation I used my Baby Beasts as my daily drivers and the coils both lasted the entire 17 days of vacation.
     
    One of these days I'm going to convince @Tamthat lower resistance and sub-ohming does not necessarily mean warmer vapor.
     
    Spare batteries are always good to have on hand.

    Another consideration is battery life.  The lower the resistance the greater the current flow.  In an evening of blowing clouds vaping under .5ohm, I can go through an 18650 pretty fast.  Good to have another battery on the charger.  When I'm out and about this is a consideration.

    Hey  All,
    I got a notification about the FAMILY TREE NOW website that is putting your very private information all over the web. I looked into it and chose to opt out. I'm very cautious with my personal information and was terrified that anyone could gain access to my addresses and such for the last 10+ years including my current one.
    Here's a link to the article from Military.com and towards the bottom is the instructions on how to opt-out.
    Thought I'd share because it's scary especially if you're a single mom with teenage daughter. It really freaked me out that this was out there.

    If she is waiting for a "perfectly safe" option, you could point out that breathing is not "perfectly safe". You never know what is in the air you are breathing.  A little extreme, but does have a bit of truth to it, especially if you live in a city.
