Is it limitless or 200 watts?

Spammer bumps Thread has been quiet. FDA delayed doomsday for another few years today I think?

Bought a Smok Alien, 6x Samsung 25R and an Augvape Boreas RTA a few weeks ago - massive upgrades all around! The Boreas is I think my perfect tank.

The FDA announcement seem a bit confusing to me.

Here's a break-down of the announcement, with the official announcement linked:

http://vaping.org/press-release/majo...ons-announced/

It seems to me like the FDA is generally moving in the right direction in their own slow and annoying way. I haven't had any worries about the future of ecigs in a long time. We won, because we were right.

My Theorem thank finally gave up the ghost. Not a bad deal for something I picked up for $10 back in January. The second tank cracked beyond repair. Sad to see it go, but...

I picked up the OBS Crius tank. It's pretty much exactly like the Griffith RDTA. The shop had both, and I went for this because it looked a bit better and it had better machining. The Griffith felt kind of cheap and the threading felt like barbed wire.

It has a velocity deck, juice flow control, and the simplest top-fill I've ever seen on a tank. Overflowing because you are filling to fast is nearly impossible.

First impresssions: I never built on a velocity deck before and I'm not too keen on using dual coils w/o the option to go single coil, so it feels a bit awkward and strange. I'm also not used to working with these kinds of juice channels (same kind in the Griffith), so first successful build was a truly amazing large-cloud + flavor vape, but took about 3 hits for me to start burning up the cotton.

First impressions is that I'm going to really dig this tank, but still have to get used to how it all works.

I was thinking of buying the Mutank, but the people at the shop told me that it's not a good buy. They told me the deck is super strange, then they couldn't even get the deck off! The deck was not reversed thread, and it was stupid to try to get apart. I tried to do it myself and failed miserably at it. I bought nearly everything Mutation ever put out, including the RDAs and RDTAs, and I'm pretty shocked at how bad the quality of this device was. The Mutation X was definitely among my favorite ever tanks and I was pretty surprised to see how this one turned out.

I'm assuming you mean Griffin? Used mine for a very long time, was a right bastard to wick correctly but when it was right it was great! Trick is to not stuff the channels, trim the cotton at an angle so as it curves down it lines up straight only just inside the top of the juice holes. I could never get it so it would both wick well and also not leak after a few minutes when not perfectly vertical, so just put up with the leaking and carried a paper towel lol. Didn't help that the flow control got really loose after a while.

Yeah, I meant the Griffin. I knew I should have looked up the correct name before posting here.

I do recall a lot of positive noise ITT over that tank. I think it's sort of how the kayfun was revolutionary for it's time, but other designs are improving on it.

_dave_, thanks for the suggestion on the cotton. That really did the trick. I've had no leaking issues yet.

I was also using too-high wattage before, then I accidentally closed off the juice channels, so a bit of a learning curve so far. I really don't understand the juice control idea yet.

So ive jumped back in a bit. Using a sigelei j150 and an aspire clieto 0.2 ohm tank/atty. Recently the entire tank and atty gets pretty hot after just like 3-4 puffs. Is this standard or is there something up? Ive been using it for a bit and it just started. Even bought some new attys just to make sure. I could go lower in voltage but Im only around 3.3-3.6 right now which charts seem to indicate is on the low end already. Any suggestions?

Well, there's warm, like an atty heating, but they all do that so I'm assuming you don't mean that. Only other real heat source would be a short in the system somewhere. I honestly wouldn't mess with it and would stop using it....or completely take it apart and find the short (which could also be inside the batteries). No sense taking the chance of it going nuclear on you.

0.2 Ohms @ 3.5V is 17.5 Amps / 61 W, yeah that's gonna make some heat. I guess those are 3-4 fairly lengthy lung hits? It's likely "normal", not sure I'd be too happy about it tho.

61 W is far too hot for me to handle. A difference is going to be from the juice you are using. Some juices are fine (require) 45 W, but if I did that on what I normally vape, I'd be overwhelmed. I run on .3 Ohms @ 3.3 V = 35 W.

The reason the youtube guys can go to 60 is because they are using attys with a TON of airflow, and they are using low-nic / zero-nic juice. A cleito is a pretty tight draw, so it'll heat up because no air is there to cool it down.

lol, so wrong

Hey guys.

Thinking of getting a new setup but after reading a few 'review' sites I still don't really know what to get or whether it's worth it at all.

Currently have an original uwell crown on a cuboid. Run it at ~60w with the 0.25 coils.

Would like a smaller/more compact and lighter mod. Hopefully able to reproduce the same quality vape. Preferably with a 4ml tank (although I realise size is an issue here).

I have this thread to thank for quitting smoking nearly three years ago and getting me on the sub ohm two years ago.
Hoping it can pull through again

Cheers

Just swapped my kangertech for the SMOK Alien. I love the design of the tank, the lid spins to the side so you can fill then it clicks back into place but it doesn't hold a lot of juice. 2 1/2 years without a cigarette for me thanks to this thread.

Guess I'm probably on about 7 years smoke free thanks to this thread now! Was all joye 510 cigalikes back then with 150mah capacity and 1ml boge cartos... Also using a Smok Alien (which is probably a solid upgrade to the cuboid as asked above - it's about as compact as I can imagine a dual 18650 mod ever getting), with a Boreas tank that is incredibly compact for it's 6+ml capacity and spacious build deck.

SMOK Alien has terrible quality issues. The paint finish started peeling off after 4 months of use. I switched to Wismec RX 2/3 which works as well as the Alien but better build quality IMO.

The Smok tank is a big cloud chucker but tends to leak, especially if you use thinner juices.

Think I'm around 6 years w/o a cigarette thanks to this thread. It's funny how that's considered "old school." Back then, getting a Joyetech 900 mah w/ a 1.5 mL tank was about $75 + juice, lol. My first tank was the "new" Aspire BTC, which was among the first bottom feed tanks. My second mod was that Innokin batton thing that went up to 14 W and wouldn't fire sub-Ohm, lol.

My current setup is an iStick Pico w/ a Crius tank, built with premade Clapton coils. I really should replace the Pico, but it's been going strong for over a year and just don't see a reason to replace it yet. When I see other vapers or walk into a vape shop, they all assume I'm a newb, but really, who needs 80 watts and 8 coils to get a decent vape?

BTW, I didn't realize this, but Provari closed it's doors back in February, and wanted to share that here.

3 years strong thanks to myself....and this thread.

still rocking the same aerotank mega i started with. two that i rotate actually. need to finally get some rubber o-rings while i can still find them, but other then that, still real happy with it.

any new tanks as-good or better out there for the mouth-to-lung crowd?

im still at 12w/1.8o on the 555 juice and loving it.

Six years for me, and still using clunky old hardware. I started at 24mg and am now down to 1mg. Pretty sure I'm not even addicted to nicotine anymore, and I expect to be done with all of this in the near future. I wanted to stop smoking and stop being an addict without the stress and withdrawal. Guess I succeeded. It was a painless journey, if you ignore all the hardware frustrations.

Around 7 or 8 years cause of this thread for me. Bought my first 510 kit just to mess around with and never looked back, didn't really even try to quit. I'm loving the Smok Big Baby Beast right now, best tank I've ever used, pretty much perfect for me

I never tried the Aerotank, but I know it was well-liked back then. I MTL every tank I get, even the wide open ones. I really haven't found a significant difference between one RTA and other, but the more current ones seem to have more flavor, albeit with less vapor than I'd expect at .3 Ohm.

I think your 12W / 1.8 Ohm is awesome to do after all this time. That was too low for me even when I first started, so hats off to saving a ton of $$ on juice.

almost 4 years here. 100% would not have stuck with it without finding this thread.

I'm down to 3% having started at 24, I need the throat kick so I may never completely eliminate nicotine, but I take great pleasure from the fact I'm no longer handing over money to the tobacco industry in exchange for my inevitable painful death.

After moving back to Los Angeles, it's safe to say the vape-shop scene here is screwed up. I'm guessing this isn't a problem anywhere else, but in CA, you have to pay for each taster sample you'd like to try. They also are not able to wrap coils for you, so many of them aren't even selling RTAs or RBAs now. I haven't even seen any mech mods either!

Everything is basically starter kits, which isn't really a bad thing considering how strong these things are these days, but it kind of bums me out that there is such a low ceiling on what they are able to help with. A vape shop employee taught me how to rebuild, and I passed that knowledge along by teaching others how to rebuild. It seems like they made this law for safety, but through their naivete, made vaping more dangerous.
