Peter's Vaping Journal

dude no, keep the batteries and charger, sell the svd and buy a nemesis and trident dripper :)
 
for work or going out I use it in 350 mode, at home I use it in light sabre mode. in 350 mode it really isn't all that big. Give it a try first and see how you feel with it.
 
i was playing around tonight with the Kayfun 3.1 and my aero tank - with the same juice and at the same wattage 8.5, i got more of a throat hit with the aero tank?

the flavor were pretty much the same on both tanks, im thinking it because im using silica in both, which i prefer.

the vapor clouds were also bigger on the aero tank....

so im just thinking, do i really need the kayfun if the aero is giving me a better vape?
and yes i know the kayfun is cappable of much more, ie sub ohm, cotton wicks etc. but for me who is a happy vaper at 8.5Wats on a 1.5 - 2.5ohm coil...i feel like i can get a better result with my aero...

im seriously contemplating on getting a Aero mega when they come in....

does anyone else have a similar experience where commercial tanks give them a better vape than RBA's?
 
Very interesting comments @PeterHarris

I think it has a lot to do with how you coil and wick it and what your preferences are.

For example, my mom prefers her stock mini Protank at 8W regulated to my IGOL dripper at 13 Watts.

For mindless vaping, so do I. But when I need a hit, there is no contest. For me my well set up rebuildable dripper wins hands down.

Some folk who genuinely prefer a more mellow vape from a commercial stock system are actually lucky in my eyes. It's much simpler!

As @Matthee, has said before, as long as it keeps you off the stinkies it's great
 
For me the biggest difference ended up being the draw. Initially I liked a tighter draw, but since I've been using my Kayfun exclusively, I cannot stand the tighter draw of commercial tanks. Even completely open, the Aerotank feels too tight for me. It feels like I'm trying to suck the vapour out rather than a nice loose draw filling my mouth with deliciousness ;)
 
picked up some joose yesterday from VK, 2x traditional tobacco, or as i call it 'TRA-Bacco', 1x bubblegum, for the wife and 1x pina colada.

spent some time cleaning the Kayfun and put it all back in the original box ready to be shipped when the time comes.

now this might sound strange, but im just waiting for my coil in my Aero to go, so that i can test a PT2 coil in there, and then it must go, so that i can rebuilt the PT2 coil and test how that goes :)
 
ok so last night my wife's Coil went and i was excited as this gave me the chance to slap in a PT2 coil - unfortunately it was gurgling, i tried to use a PT3 coil chimney, still same issue, then i tried putting on that rubber seal inverted, same thing... i will lokk into this again as i was actually buse with my sock video :p

so other that using the Patriot dripper for socks, i actually want to use it just to blow some huge clouds :)
i still prefer the vape and taste on my aero tank :)

this morning i built a dual coil into the patriot.
32G kanthal, 2mm ID 5 wraps, i worked out that each coil would give me 2Ohm sepratly, but when used in a dual coil setup the total would be 1Ohm, which is what i was aiming for.

but i think i missed something as the 1 coil would burn brighter that the other, i noticed one of the coils inner legs were longer that the other, so i pushed it back to more or less the same lenght, but still the same, dont know if there is something i can do. any advise ?

i wicked it with Cotton, as you will see in the pic...but i have no idea how much cotton to use, i also have no idea how long i can vape until i need to re-drip....

keep in mind this is just for mindless could blowing, i think it looks cool when the weather report in my house says overcast...

share your thoughts :)

2x micro coils

Great video. Well presented. And I like short ones. See someone re-visiting mechs!
 
yea the fire pin on the side is more comfy..... dont like the bottom fire pin thing... :p
I did not like the bottom pin combined with the locking ring - one forgets to lock and it is a hassle. Got the Launcher V2, which does not have a locking ring - my favourite tube mech.
 
Peter, the PT2 coil will not work in a PT3. The section where the dual coils are housed is longer than the corresponding section on the pt2. Just put the 2 coil heads side by side and you will see the difference immediately. When using the pt2 coil there will be a huge gap between the grommet and the chimney section where the grommet is supposed to seal against.
 
Great vid @PeterHarris, really enjoy it much more than that longwinded PBusardo and that waxedout loud RipTripper, seriously. I just love the unpretentious honesty you portray. LOL ..... cough, cough ..... "I like it"
 
hey guys

time for a mini update... so Friday night i was happily vaping away on the patriot dripper with some Amarula juice for about 1.5 hrs.
when switching back to my MVP at 8.5W it felt like i wasn't vaping anything lol. i thought to myself.. o crap, did i just spoil clearo's for myself... luckily after a bit i could start feeling the throat hit again.
but later my coil went, so i had to get a new coil in the Aero. there was a rebuilt coil in my cupboard, but i needed to wick it, and since i have not perfected wicking with silica (it gurgles a bit), i decided let me use cotton, i mean i was using cotton in the dripper.... so i slapped some cotton in there, saturated the cotton, put everything back together and yea.... im still vaping of that cotton coil...

i think im getting used to cotton :)

also i dont know if its just my imagination, but the tank seems more airy with cotton than what it does with silica??

@RezaD, PT2 coils work perfectly in the PT3 tank, I'm currently using them in there, only thing is you should use the coils with the longer chimney, not the short stubby one. I've had no leaks using these coils.

The PT3 coil will however not work in the PT2 because of the taller cup

Loved the video @PeterHarris
Excellent choice of music!
And that hammer mod looks really cool
 
@PeterHarris

Awesome video man! I loved it. And you're right, it's that kind of behaviour that pushes clearos to back of the drawer. Glad you're finding your way with cotton. Tastebuds change, as you know. Are you still enjoying the cotton? It opens the world of micro coils much wider than silica does. You know what! I see another Kayfun in thou's future! :)

Enjoyed the outtakes too!
 
:O ohmyword! waow! i have to do that. Can i do it without dripping, can i do it without building coils? Could i do it with a Sigelei 20W and...maybe the new Aerotank? :wondering:

great video! :clap:
