  1. I started vaping low wattage with higher resistance coils, but since have gone lower builds and vaping more in the 75w range and love it. Grow with your mod and you enjoy it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using The Vapor Talk mobile app
  2. Thanks, I'll order some of those flavors next time and give it a shot.
  3. I've checked a couple recipe sites and Google. No luck finding a recipe for Melt by SQN. Anyone seen any? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using The Vapor Talk mobile app
  4. Not to go too far off topic, but that's a huge tank on that mod. I've ran that combo before and ended up getting the Big Baby Beast. As with the cotton, if it's new make sure it's primed and let it sit for few minutes before vaping. The T8 coils rock in that tank! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using The Vapor Talk mobile app
  5. Just jumped on the DIY bandwagon and got my supplies and mixed my first flavor. Tried it and was happy, but going to let it steep few days Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using The Vapor Talk mobile app
  6. Great video, thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using The Vapor Talk mobile app
  7. Greetings from Palm Beach, Florida! I've been vaping on and off for about 3 years now. Never been a smoker, except for a social occasion cigar, but I do enjoy vaping. Last year I got into rebuilding and pretty much stick with my RTAs and regulated mods. I currently vape with a older Sigelei 150, Wismec RX2/3, Eleaf Pico, Smok Alien. No fancy or artistic builds here, just single or dual coil Kanthal or Clapton.
  8. With all the stories floating around, either exploitive or real with batteries exploding, I am curious.... Are these "incidents" generally with mechanical mods, incorrect builds and bad/"cheap" batteries? I have one mechanical mod that I've pretty much stopped using over the past year and pretty much only use a Wismec RX2/3, older Sigelei 150, Eleaf Pico and a Smok Alien regulated mods. I buy my batteries at my local B&M store, which I am comfortable with their reliability and honesty. They are a chain organization with about 15 stores around the area. Am I pretty much safe, assuming their batteries are not fakes, etc. and my builds are between .2-.8 ohms on my mods? I generally don't vape more than 55 watts, unless I put together a .2-.3 dual build, then I'll take it up to 90 watts or so.
  9. I didn't have 24g Kanthal on hand, but I had 22. I did a dual coil 10 wraps at .33 ohm for my Avocado and found it's flavor much much better than the previous build. I'm vaping that at 85 watts. Thanks for the advice on build for preference and stick with that. Once I find my "right" preference, I will do that. I'm not sure of the pro/con of the 22g over 24g, but when I am back at the shop I'll pick up some 24g.
  10. Let me ask this, is it normal for flavor to be better with pre-built coils than my own built rta coils? Seems I'm getting great flavor in older Atlantis tank and Melo tank than my Griffin rta and Avocado rta? Or am I not building for best flavor? My Avocado has 26g kathal, 6 wraps for point 5 ohm.

  11. Thanks Bebop.... I do prefer flavor over cloud. It's hard for me to think to put in words what I am trying to describe, but thanks for taking a stab at it. I guess ultimately, I want to build for flavor and using my calculator (I use Vape Tool Pro for my Android Phone), I generally build .5 coils. What should I be shooting for in regards to stronger flavor? I think what I was trying to figure out in my original question, but having a hard time explaining.... If I buy pre-made coils, I am unsure where to start (wattage) other than beginning low and working my way up. For example, I bought premade GM Coils - clapton 26g A1 + 38g TM N80 at 6 wraps on a 3mm bit. Label shows .2 Ohm (dual) which is pretty much spot on. So what I was wondering is where is a good wattage to start at and perhaps a average wattage range that one may use. I do understand that is subjective to the individual. And, how do you get to that starting point (calculator, etc). I realize different tanks, coils, etc. will all produce different results from one to the other. For example, I vape my Avocado 24 around 40-50 watts and found that is the best I can get for me, however it's really no flavor. Lowering and raising the wattage doesn't get anything better. Yet if I run my TFV8 with the pre-made T8 .15 ohm coil at 120 watts, I get great flavor. I know, different set ups. I'd love to find great flavor with my Avocado and Griffen RTAs and ultimately looking for what I should build at for xx recommended wattage. Hope that is little easier to understand, I am at a lose for exactly how to explain it ** On a side note, I am reading some threads about flavor and learning about top vs bottom airflow and about different wire affecting flavor too. So that helps... Think I just need to find what you mentioned above and that would be building for my preference and sticking with that.
  12. Greetings..... I've been out of vaping for a few months, but left loving my RTAs after graduating from sub ohm tank coils. I've hit a total brain freeze in my rebuilding in regards to finding my sweet spot range after I do my build. I'm probably over analyzing this, but still curious. I'll build my coils onto my tank (Avocado) and will use a Ohm calculator via a app on my phone and that would give me a great sweet spot range to try based on my number of wraps, resistance, etc.. But my question would be if I bought pre-made coils. Other than fiddling, how can I find my sweet spot range? Would I have to count the wraps, go by the diameter of wrap, etc.?
