Nice coil @SVS1000 !
I think the benefit of the VTR over most tube electronic mods is that the VTR can handle sub-ohms (as I understand it - I don't own a VTR though).
Was vaping in traffic, with SVD and aerotank (pretty big shiny metal thing lol) yesterday, had one guy roll down his window and ask me what the heck it is and another passer by ask me if it's one of those new ecig things.
Also heard a group of guys making a comment amongst themselves about...
I spoke to these guys www.industrialalloys.co.za and asked them about MOQ and pricing on kanthal a1 ribbon - their response was kanthal a1 has MOQ of 25-50kg and they didn't give pricing.
They offered Kanthal Nikrothal 80 ribbon in MOQ of 1 spool of approx 1.3kg at the following pricing:
? 0.8...
@CraftyZA yeah sometimes you have that perfect build planned, everything looks good and then its just a major let down! Happened to me so many times! But then sometimes it goes the other way, plannned a microcoil on the rocket, wrapped it around the wrong screwdriver so it was too big ID and...
Yup, @Matthee have to agree, the SS is just so much effort torching and quenching etc!
Coiled separately and attached to posts, then inserted the SS with cotton.
It's a nice setup but it doesn't wick as fast as I would like, chain vaping and you have to tilt it upside down to re wet the cotton...
RSST build:
- 2mm ID
- 12wraps
- 28 gauge kanthal
- 1.8ohms
- #500 stainless steel mesh covered with a teeny tiny little bit of cotton at the top only
The technique is to roll the SS mesh pretty tight and not too thick (thinner than the wick hole) then you use the burrs on the SS mesh to pick...
@Zodiac , that's awesome! Did you have any sort of break in time or anything? I'm getting better flavour now than my first hit. And yeah, agree 100%, that adjustable airflow is amazing.
Update on aerotank:
- took it all apart and took the o rings off and put them back on just basically fiddled with the whole thing top to bottom, squished the chimney tighter onto the coils, didn't find anything out of place etc BUT when i put it back together it doesn't gurgle and feed me...
Ok so preliminary feedback on the aerotank (done half a tank and topped it up when I changed coils):
- they did it soooo right with the adjustable airflow control, you can go from wide open airy right down to fully closed off (and yeah you can just get that airflow control base and put it on...
Thanks! It vapes pretty decent, nice clouds, but I can do better! Dual coil next time, just gotta watch my ohms since I only have an eVic and an SVD available, no mech mod, so 1.3 ohms lower limit means I need dual 2.6ohm coils, either 20 wraps of 28gauge on 2mm ID or make another plan lol.
Just got back from the post office!
From @Cape vaping supplies:
1. Helios RDA
