Well, its been several months. I cant even remember when I switched to vaping (I know it hasnt been that long, and Im fairly certain I have a sig that shows it, but the tapatalk app doesnt show it haha). But I think ive found my spot to sit at. Ive tried dripping and mech mods, and while ive had amazing vapes from them, the extra effort is more of an annoyance to me to be a payoff for now. What I DO love are regulated mods and my russian. While I have 2 dna's (one clone, one original) I still dont even come close to using them to their full potential. Thats fine, im sure ill develop into the higher wattages. For now ill stick to 1.2 ohm builds and 14-15 watts. I've been thinking what tp try next.. ive been eyeballing a REO, since maybe it will eliminate some of my annoyances with mech mods. Plus they look friggen epic. Also been eyeballing the rDNA to match up with the original vs I have (which is having its bat replaced... turns out a 8 foot drop os not so good for it lol). And finally I'm brainstorming ideas for what to get to compliment the Russian. The fogger looks like a good idea, but theres been so many good tanks out there im hesitant. Im looking at you, there, elkronigin. And now that ive rambled long enough, id like some input from all of you fine folks. Money is tight for me, so I cant go head first into a lot of different toys just yet.

So I tried it myself. Using a KPT2 and a brand new stock 1.8 ohm coil. My Provari mini says it's 1.9 ohms. My Evic says it's 2.1 ohms. My iTaste VTR is reading 1.9 ohms. When I put it on a dedicated ohm reader it's reading 1.8 ohms like it's supposed to be (although stock coils are notorious for not being exactly what they're supposed to be). These variations are not surprising as I know better than to trust an APV to read the resistance accurately.

Just know that the device is not accurate and what you top it with could effect that. They are meant for protecting the device from damage more than giving accurate readings. Unless your building coils, you really don't need an ohm meter unless you want one. These odd readings are normal between devices and like christov11 said, can be off by .5 to even .7 in these devices. Your reading is only off by .6 so I wouldn't worry about it.

Of course you can. I just bought 2 of them. One for the nephew and one for.........me!

I love my RDAs and they still top the Orchid in flavor, and will always remain my favorite. Vapor is about the same. The difference in flavor is not far off and I find that a happy compromise in exchange for not topping off all the time. Topping off RDA is not a big deal but when travelling quite a bit like I am doing lately, it really gets on my nerves sometimes. Orchid is basically more like a kayfun/fogger, So there was a slight learning curve for me the first day. Lots of leaking and I had to re-wick it 3 times only to find out it was my filling technique that was wrong. haha If you do decide to give it a try, consider getting the V2 or a top fill cap for easy filling. But even without them, it is easy to fill without having leaking problems, just cover the airholes and chimney when filling them up.

This is a 3rd party App (Tapatalk) so we're limited on what we're able to do. If you open a support ticket I'll see if we can't figure something out.

Just sent a message to Chris. Hopefully, he'll be able to fix it for you.

Welcome! The Kanger starter rocks, and will serve you well while you get the hang of things and decide where you want to go with vaping (keeping it simple or full-on hobby). Your starter has two tanks and two batteries... the only recommendation I would make is to pick up another tank or two and a 5-pack of replacement coils in 1.5 or 1.8 Ohm resistance... that's the sweet-spot for the standard batteries, and I think you'll be pleased! Good luck, and feel free to ask questions!!

I must say to that the twisted build really makes a huge difference in not only flavor but also in vapor production in a tank setup.

Yeah it will not hurt to just get a verity of sizes in both round and flat. That is what I did to test for the right build. I bought the 50ft size for testing then got the 250 foot size of what I liked.

I just started dripping, but I am definitely a tank guy! I think with the dependability of the newer (better) tanks, there is just so much less to go wrong. I don't have to ask nearly as many questions, I just fill 'er up and go! I run tanks all day in the car. I drive an average of 5000 miles a month. I can't do that and drip. There are already too many distractions with texts/emails/phone calls, and other stupid drivers out there! (I am including myself in that group)(I don't text/email and drive, but I get as many as 100 a day of each and I do read them, which is probably just as bad) I think the mechanicals, and drippers has just became more of a hobby for me, not really to keep me from smoking. I do enjoy the richer flavors and thick vapor from the dripper, it just to me is an evening habit that is much like a drink and a cigar.

Correct. I just want to try it with a parallel coil build and see how it performs

I am planning to get a spool of 24gauge round. I saw where you posted that you use .9 ribbon (in the picture above) and .5 ribbon for Kanger coils. I don't rebuild my Kanger coils (i uses Nautilus now), I will only be using in RDAs What do you recommend to start out with? Dang memories! I used to love the cheap drugstore balsa wood airplanes! The kind that had the hook on back and the plastic piece that held the propeller on front. The main wing slid through the solid balsa wood fuselage. You would twist them forever for a 2 second flight (crash) I wonder if they even make them anymore?

Your part right, it also the position of the coil. Instead of laying parallel to the deck it is set at a 45 degree angle to the deck.

Fish I derailed originally. It is a hot button issue with me lol. I hardly post here anymore because of it. I occasionally post still in the new member section but now even noobs are more worried about building a "triple octopus .2 ohm coil" as opposed to quitting smoking. I guess so to speak the board has left me and my fellow tank vapers behind and in most cases I have very little to add.

That twisted flat looks good. I have a spool of 28ga I really don't do anything with. I guess I need to order some flat. I have just about accepted the fact I can't build an untwisted (parallel) coil. It looks like it was built by a very unskilled 3rd grader. (No offense to third graders!) It seems like the Tiger would have much more surface area, but I don't know how it compares in ohms. How does it compare to my dual coil 7 wrap of 26 gauge on a 3.4 mm pin compare. In other words is is more or less ohms/ft than a 26 gauge. I would assume less ohms/per foot because it seems like there is much more conductor there. Am I looking at it right?

just make sure that if you do build it you put it on an ohm reader and make sure that you are using a sufficient battery.
