Wire Thickness, Resistance Settings, Etc

I was also very confused, but at the vape meet i got a chance to play around with the hana and ipv, and other stuff. I came home even more confused lol, because both those devices are top notch. But for me the ipv felt more comfortable in my hand, plus its got. 20 extra watts, so i ordered it. It is a trade off a bit in the looks department, as i hear 22mm attys have a slight overhang, and some dont seat flush.

But i dont really care about it, it feels good to me. This is why vape meets are brilliant. Before this, all i knew about mods were from youtube videos and internet pages, but i was so shocked to see how much smaller these things looked in real life, and the weight of those things!

Go to a meet, then you will make up your mind, else, just take either the hana or ipv, you wont go wrong with either

Note, the ipv has its charging port at the bottom, so you may have to remove your atty to charge

I must admit i'm also starting to lean toward the IPV.... what is a 1mm overhang when you have 20 extra watts

 

[Baverz]

you just had to rub it in

after reading @Andre post looks like im gona get the ivp
lets just wait for pay day an see whats happens

@Jibbz786 dat doesnt sound like a bad idea,

Hey guys, those vtc5's, do i just stick em in the device and start vaping, or should i put them on charge first? What is the procedure for first use?

I had to charge mine first

They get shipped with a 40%ish charge. Its good practice to charge new batteries before use.

 

[Bonez007]

Sweet, thanks guys

I will have to use the ipv to charge up, as i didnt get the vape mail with the Nitecore yet

 

[rvdwesth]

@Baverz I agree... Not all of us have the financial means at this time of the month, to order a ton of stuff just before payday such as some other people on this forum...

@Bonez007 the IVP doesn't come with a battery right?
I have a 3100 20A ifest IMR.... Will that work on the IVP? Does anyone know?

Correct. There are no batteries. I bought sony vtc5 batteries for it, just because i hear these are the safest.

and if you get a mech those are the best to use!

I dont think i will take things so far lol, although even with the safest batteries in the ipv (regulated device with all these safety features) i am still pretty cautious about how i use and handle these things. I have one eye constantly on the charger. Safer chemistry or not, these batteries have massive energy stored in it.

Lol, it was much more dangerous having a stinky b driving, my back seat has soo many holes, but you right better cautious then sorry

Im getting an error message on my ipv, saying "low res!"

This is on my kangertech protank mini 3, with 1,5ohm coil. It doesn't happen all the time, just now and then. But if i leave the fire button and press again, it fires as normal. Any idea whats going on?

maybe it is too tight on the mod, try to loosen it a bit and see if that sorts the issue out

Thank you. I will try this.

Nothing will break or blow up right?

 

[Al3x]

no, it has short circuit protection so you good to go

And then I see Subohmvapor is doing a buy on the 100W Sigelei box!! So much confusion!!

 

[Bonez007]

So i just made my first coil! Not bad at all. I thought it would take hours. I got it done in 20min, including wicking.

 

[Bonez007]

This is about 9 wraps on 1,6mm diameter rod. 28g Kanthal A1 wire. I should have used. 2mm dia. I wasn't thinking. The ekowool i have is 2mm... So i just used cotton.

Flavour? Man, I'm tasting water lol! What wattage should i use? I wont lie, i am kinda scared to crank it up.

 

[Baverz]

Crank it up bro don't feel shy

Kinda looks like you may have overwicked a bit with that cotton.
Play around with less cotton, because you gotta remember that cotton EXPANDS with liquid inside the coil. If there's too much wick to the point where it chokes, you wont have a very good delivery of juice to the coil.

 

[Bonez007]

Ahhh i gotacha! So then, to use the 2mm ekowool, should i wrap 2,5mm dia coils?

 

[WHeunis]

Nope.
I was only referring to cotton. Ekowool is another thing; I havent worked with it.
But from what I gather you shouldnt have problems with expansion using ekowool.
