The Vape Guy - What's New

@BumbleBee I met someone last week who wants to give up smoking. She'd tried vaping but said that it burnt her throat. She doesn't know what device she was using, only that it cost R150. I let her try the T20, because it's really a gentle vape, perfect for a newbie. Unfortunately, she still doesn't like vaping. Probably her first experience with some other device put her off. However, she did like the Vinto Vape e-cig, which is what I often use when I'm busy. To me, vaping is for relaxation - I can't rush around like a maniac and vape! Nevertheless, I do agree with you that the T20 is a great device for a newbie.
 
Any chance you bringing in sxk entheon drippers?
Not planning to, but I do have a few SXK Hadalys coming in a week or two.

If there are a few more folks looking for the Entheon then I will certainly consider bringing a few in.

The burning in the throat is usually because the nic is too strong, or the coil is totally fried. I'm not sure that a R150 device is the right way to find out if vaping is good, I doubt that it was a quality experience.

Everyone is different, one device won't work for all but at least she now knows that that one isn't for her, or maybe it was just the flavour she didn't like. I haven't tried the Vinto but if she likes that then go for it. Either way, getting off the stinkies is the main objective :)
 
Am very tempted @BumbleBee

Flavour on this is good and it is remarkable how quiet it is.
Sometimes you think your mod is not firing when its actually busy vaporising.

My only problem is my 2ml one suffers from wet drip tip syndrome. And i dont know if its something i have done wrong or what to do to address it. Anyhow, am very tempted to go for the 24mm 4ml but trying to practice restraint

This is a really well made tank, the build quality is exceptional and it just looks sexy :p

Regarding your wet drip tip issue, I think that is just condensation gathering in the drip tip, the way the deck is set up is to produce very dense vapour, hence the good flavour. The downside of this is that all that dense vapour can't get out of the chamber before it cools, not much to do here, it's a tight airflow tank. What you could try is a drip tip with a slightly larger bore or try a smaller build, maybe a 2mm coil with the cotton packed in just a little tighter?

Thanks @BumbleBee - much appreciated

And i want to solve this issue because i do like this tank and the flavour is good.

I was thinking it may be because i am vaping on lower power - around 12-15 watts
My current coil is a 11 wrap spaced 28g coil which came out at 2 ohms and i thought it wouldnt work well but it does. Crisper than the 26g coil that comes with it. Just the wetness is still there.

Could it have anything to do with the juice thickness? I am now vaping my Blackbird blend which is about 50/50 or probably 55 PG. Maybe its that.

Will try your idea of a 2mm coil and pack it thicker with wick.

Hmm, I would imagine that the issue would be more pronounced with higher VG juice. Now I'm wondering if there isn't perhaps too much surface area on your coil, maybe just take 3 wraps off it?

Ok thanks

The reason I went so long was because in Busardo's video he mentioned one should try get the coil to cover the full length of the deck (where the three airholes are) otherwise if its too short then the wick coming out on either side will touch that deck part and get the "river effect" with channelling juice into the airholes.

I will try again when i coil next with less wraps and report back

Many thanks @BumbleBee !

I remember in years gone by how you helped me to wick the Lemo1 and ever since then it is perfect!!

lol, I remember the Lemo... I so don't miss the Lemo, mine leaked constantly :rolleyes:

You'll nail the right build, just keep trying different things, don't overthink it, just do it ;)
 
That McFly intrigues me @BumbleBee !
Seems like it will be a flavour machine of note - given the tiny chamber

Is it more for MTL? What type of coil does one put in there?

I have a McFly on the white Reo with a single 26g kanthal micro coil, it's performing quite well. Airflow is quite tight and is absolutely MTL. The small chamber produces really dense flavour and was surprisingly easy to build on. I started with 24g Ni80 but quickly changed to kanthal because the atty got really hot with the Nichrome.

Thanks @BumbleBee
Is the airflow adjustable on this atty - or is it fixed?

It is adjustable, there are 4 different sized holes of which 1 can be selected with a ring that is locked in place when the top piece is screwed on. It all fits together very securely.
 
I am going to shop you empty when we come past (NEED an OL, Siren, Hadaly Clear and Ultem Caps, maybe the Drop, and defo some bubble glass for the Skyclones, and this McFly looks intriguing:nerd:), have the coffee ready @BumbleBee;-)

I've recently found a coffee that came all the way from Gotham City, just say when ;)
 
Morning @BumbleBee

I see you have the Vandyvape superfine clapton wire MTL

A while back i got the NI80 version which I havent tried yet
But i see there is the SS version too

Am wondering what the difference is vape wise and whether one is more suitable than the other for different applications?

@TheV got me the NI80 wire - @TheV have you had any experience or know about the merits of the SS version?
 
@Silver, unfortunately I haven't tried the SS version yet. I do know that it builds to a lower resistance than the Ni80 wire so at the very least its an interesting option for build diversity.
 
@Silver, @TheV is correct, the SS version will have a lower resistance. Other than that I would imagine that it would just boil down to which metal you prefer.
