Holy Crap! You're a machine today.
Let's see, I've been up for about an hour and a half and I've stared at the PC monitor a lot. I did build one TC coil and tested a Cylon. I found out it runs about 40°F hot. Also discovered another battery bit the dust. 100% Sag right off the charger. Probably time to replace that one, lol.

Now that comment is beyond my pay grade. My wife and I have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. We split the household bills and as long as they're paid. All is well.

We all mostly call is Slowtech around here. While the prices are low with free shipping, you usually have to wait a lot longer for the stuff to get to you. If you don't mind the wait and can get by without whatever you ordered, it's usually a good place to buy gear. EBay is a place we mostly warn people about due to too many knock offs being sold there masquerading as original name brand items. It's buyer beware, especially for mods and batteries. If you're getting things like wraps and drip tips, it's a great place to shop.

Oh lord! Work? Vape?..... Vape? Work? Rough decision! I wish you the best. You keep coming around here you can open up a dedicated account for vape, lol.

Walt reacted to Tam in Starter Kits
I love spending your money, too, @Walt. NO! Do not send me stuff!!! I have more back ups and stuff and more stuff that it's piling up faster than I can pay it forward. The people I help stop smoking in my area are very well stocked and then some. One of these days I'll pull out all of the stuff I have and put it into a pile and reorganize to figure out what I have and what goes with what...

Walt got a reaction from Jarhead in Starter Kits
I'm going to say, just don't! Here's a link to where battery Mooch published his ratings on batteries. The Sony VTC5A will give you 30 amps and the LG HD2 will give you 25 amps. Building under .1Ω is just asking for trouble unless you under-power the build to where it barely gives a vape. On the LG HG2's (20A) Mooch advises about 60 Watts per battery or no more than 120 watts on a two battery mod. Beyond that you are really punishing the batteries and they may not receive that punishment well.

Thx guys, def getting a good charger then. Your advice is very appreciated.

I love my Nitecore 4 bay charger. Yep, good idea to use an external charger whenever possible. Safer is better.

Sounds like you're on the right track. Two coils that come with the kit are all ready to prime and vape. Add batteries and e-juice and you're good to go. Do look up Battery Mooch. He is THE battery expert for vaping. Also give good consideration to getting a good battery charger. While the mod will charge the batteries internally, I have seen incidents. Always safer to use an external charger.

My bad, @Walt! I put the decimal point in the wrong place. That should've read 0.15 ohm and not .015 as I typed. Thanks for the assist. I knew you'd steer them in the right direction. :D

Walt reacted to Tam in Starter Kits
Good for you! The "wicks" that you speak of are included inside the 0.4 ohm V8 Baby-Q2 Dual Core and the 0.15 ohm Octuple core. These two coils (or "cores" as identified here), are already pre-built heating coils with wicks included inside.

Scroll down until you see "product includes" and it looks like it has everything you need to get you started except eliquid and two 18650 batteries. You'll want to make sure the batteries you purchase can handle loads that a .04 and .015 ohm coil demands. If we can get @Walt over here, he'll be able to better steer you in the right direction.

Yup, and then you can be like me, living under an overpass in a box. A big box with a lot of mods and atties!!!!
Just kidding, @Tam has got it right. Always be prepared!

Walt got a reaction from Lami in Help
@Tam nailed it. Nobody can tell you which you will like. It's also a pretty tall order to do a full comparison of the two devices. I suggest you google the two with the word "review" after them and look for video reviews. Three reviewers that I like to watch are DJLSB Vapes, PBusardo, and Mike Vapes. Zophie vapes is pretty good to come to think of it. The rest to me are just salesmen.

Walt reacted to Tam in Vape
Way back in the day when vaping was fairly new and much less complicated than it is now, the amount of nicotine in an eliquid was equated to different strengths of cigarettes. For example, 24 mg of nicotine was roughly the equivalent to a pack of Marlboro Reds (shorts). 12 mg was similar to a pack of Marlboro Lights... and so on. Today, we have sub-ohm coils, voltage vs. wattage vs. temperature control, etc. The sub-ohm alone, without adding in how coils and tanks are so much more efficient in nicotine delivery, totally skew the old way of figuring out the nicotine per pack per tankful ratio. Sorry, but I haven't heard anything that helps figure it now these days with today's equipment.

Always start low (around 10W or 14W), vape a few times. If that doesn't give you a satisfactory flavor and/or vapor, turn it up a few and vape again. Keep doing this until you get a harsh vape or it tastes slightly burnt. Turn it down a little and that should be the sweet spot for that coil and juice. There is no "best temp" for everyone, it's whatever is "best" for you. Vaping is very subjective and very personal. What works for someone else may not work for you. We call it "vaping" and not "smoke," if something is "smoking," that means your temperature is set too high and something is burning.

Thanks! I want to get a scope as well before end of they year but honestly, I've been out of the industry too long to know what to shop for.
