I just wanted to add my 2¢ to the "to chuck or not to chuck" topic of recent debate. IMO, whichever style of vaping you choose, whether it's mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung, it should be the one that satisfies you the most. I see nothing wrong with either style, and both have their benefits. If you enjoy a vaping style that feels the most like smoking an analog, then mouth-to lung (slight to moderate air flow restriction) is probably the way to go. If you enjoy "chucking" huge clouds, then direct-to-lung (sub-ohm with low nic & plenty of air flow) might be for you. Granted, cloud chucking is mostly performed as spectacle, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with a little showing off every now and then, if that's what you're into. Basically, there's no "rule book" on the correct way to vape (that I know of), so it's up to you. I typically vape mouth-to-lung, but I occasionally like to show off to vaping buddies with a Mount St. Helen-style eruption of vapor. Just remember that filling a room with dense clouds of vapor can be a little off-putting to some people, so "vaping etiquette" dictates that you use a little common sense before doing so. Also, I've heard many times that cloud chasers experience little to no flavor in their vapor, but I've found that this is definitely not the case for me, as the juices that I use provide plenty of flavor from both methods. Lastly, vape safe...know your equipment and its limitations, and however you choose to vape, do it because it makes you happy.

Yes, the little known 4th gift. Gold, frankincense, myrr and an ohmmeter .... Happy holidays Jon

Healthcare and the "industry" has gotten nuts over "tobacco" recently... and since e-cigs have evolved into mainstream, even your health-insurance and most employers are no longer asking "do you smoke?", they are asking "to you use nicotine?", which is absolutely absurd, since nicotine is a naturally occurring substance in nearly every plant and fruit on the planet! But, the health-industry MUST classify e-cigs as a "tobacco-product" in order to fit the dialogue and mantra so the FDA, healthcare, and big-tobacco can control the industry (and impose taxes to fill everyone's coffers). I actually called-out my health-insurance agent recently on the double-standard... They impose a $50/month "sin-fee" on smokers, and have for the past 5 years... this year they included the language to include "nicotine use" in the fee. I pointed out the hypocrisy that our health-plan pays 100% for nicotine patches, nicotine gum, chantix, et-al to aid in helping someone quit (and they are not imposed any fees if they use a patch/gum), yet those of us that have kicked the nasty habit of smoking by using vaping are still included with "smokers"! She looked at me long and hard... started to say something, then stopped herself... then she leaned in close and said, "check the box for non-smoker, AND check the box for no-nicotine-use"... she agreed it was a rather stupid and condemning double-standard... and just a way to generate revenue! As for your stealth-vaping in the bathroom... yeah, if you get caught they'll probably crucify you... you'd probably have more luck getting away with dissecting a live patient in the lobby....

Well I'm sure no one cares but I'm pretty stoked lol my order of actual 32ga kanthal a1 came in and i did the calculations on steam-engine I used a 3/32 drill bit wrapped 7 times and come out to 1.4ohm total on dual coils. I also built a 32ga twisted single coil using a 3/32 drill bit 5 wraps comin to 1.7ohm. I get more vapor and taste from the twisted single coil. I'm using a kangertech iPow 2 on 15w. Now I just need to work on cleaner wraps and get a bigger variable wattage box and I'll be happy. Thanks guys

Glad you're all set! If you run into any issues don't hesitate to hit the contact tab and open a ticket, we're always happy to help (Don't feel bad about ordering the wrong coils, we even do it when ordering from the warehouse sometimes. The shipment arrives, we open the box then "oh crap"" lol Kanger seems to have this obsession with changing their coil design. As for the Natti coils I'll take a look at the SKU's Descriptions and see what needs to be changed, thanks for bring that to our attention (By the way if you ever find mistakes in the store we usually issue out coupon codes for those who find them)

After using the Atlantis I found it impossible to go back to my Nautilus. So last night I grabbed a 1/8 drill bit and bored out the smallest setting and it is useful once again. Before that the stock 1.6 Ohm coil was about a 14 Watt max tank for me. Now 18 Watts and no burn and better flavor.

Found this chart

Disclaimer = Good

Or add a disclaimer at the bottom saying that they can also be used on an Aerotank and/or KPT3 but some vapers have had issues with leaking when used. Buy and use with these tanks at your own discretion. That way they're warned before hand.

As you know I only use single coils in my Davides and I have not had any issue at all. These are new Davides that come with the dual coils that I toss and put in a single. I tried the doubles but prefer the singles by a vast margin. Often people mistake a gurgling from condensation as leaking. Every tank I have ever had occasionally floods when altitudes or temperatures change drastically. Every time I go hunting and am out in the cold 4-5 hours and get back in my car every tank I use floods under that scenario. I guess I have been lucky but I have been through hundreds of Kanger single coils, some from VT store some other places, but out of those hundreds there have been two or three that were "bad" and truly leaked. I will take that failure rate any day with almost anything lol.

Pretty typical and one more reason regulation is coming and it needs to to be honest. Its one thing for someone at home to build coils in a dangerous way but its ENTIRELY different when a place of business does the same thing. They should be looking out for vapers rights not doing their best to get them taken away.

I was watching it during my lunch break. I was noticing how much the characters have changed over the years. Darryl was a real punk originally.

Word!

This is why I have been saying need to transition to lipo packs.

Great job rix! I def agree! Deanna

Just ordered a grstar zna , pair of sony vtc4's, pair of aw imr 18490's and a nitecore intellicharger D2. Now to stalk the mail lady!

I agree with you whole-heartedly.

What is the resistance of the coil you built? What device are you using to fire it? Welcome to VT, BTW

I actually agree with you. But remember, we are a grass roots movement too and we are fighting to keep the right to vape as we all know it is healthier than smoking. Part of that fight is squelching the unreasonable, false representation and inflated exaggeration of studies that are designed to alarm the non vaping public and generate fear in vaping so as to destroy it. Make no mistake. This is a real battle being fought over dollars, not your health. But I whole heartedly agree with you. We can't let that blind us to the real risks of vaping. And those are real too.

We three kings of Orient are Vaping on an electronic cigar It overloaded And exploded..... Now we're on yonder star. Happy holiday season to all from beautiful downtown Malaysia. "Where aircraft are an endangered species"

Gotta love Avid Vaper. Lord knows they get enough money out of me all the time. LOL Glad it wasn't anything more serious and that you caught in time.

My Bonny looked into the gas tank The height of its content to see..... I lit up a match to assist her, Oh bring back my Bonny to me. My new Bonny now checks the gas tank Without fear of ceasing to be.... For I no longer have use for matches, Cuz vaping not smoking's for me. My new Bonny's tuberculosis Has caused her to have but one lung... But she too changed smoking for vaping, Her cigs in the trash she has flung. My new Bonny now can breathe better Her coughing a thing of the past..... And we all know that vaping is safer, My Bonny has a future at last.

I got an email back from them. They are wanting a business web page and name. Guess I can just ask for a minimum order of 5-10 units for personal use and see what they say

MOQ = Minimum Order Quantity Makes for great price savings when you buy in bulk with a group of people!

BTW, JohnnyFog....get your juice from Compenstine here. Makes the best stuff on the planet. His Peanut Butter Fudge Brownie is something beyond description.

I know the feelings about tanks, flavor, etc.... I have some juices that taste fantastic in Kanger tanks, one juice that tastes best only in a Nautilus, and a couple that are heavenly in an RTA but taste like wet socks in a KPT2 ... Rarely do I build any coils that require more than 20W, and anything more than 12-15W in my AeroTank or Nautilus would just cook the juice The IPV-mini is not exactly "mini", I agree, but I think it will serve me well for quite some time... and if I need smaller portability, I have my MVP, iStick, and a few eGo's still kicking...

I prefer the flavor and vapor of the singles compared to the duals. Ive been through numerous packs of the duals hoping for something better, but alas they were all sucky IMHO.

That is right! I guess it could be just another phase of vaping I am going through....lol

That's the beauty and fun of vaping. Everyone likes something a little different. Whatever works best for you and makes you happy is all that's important.

The regular KPT 1 and 2 take the single coils. It wasn't until KPT3 that they came out with the dual coils, that's the full sized ones, I'm not sure about the minis because I use the Davide minis. How strange though, I use single KPT coils for my KPT3 and Aerotank with no leaking whatsoever while other people seem to have all kinds of problems with them.

Yeap there is a mistake there. They were not meant for the Pro 3, Mini 3, Areo, or Areo Mega these all take the dual coils. Mini Protank 1,2,3 Protank 1,2,3 Aerotank Aerotank Mega

It is the closest thing to hitting my specifications out there too. I just wish it was a bit mini-er..... I have decided that I am happiest with a tank and don't really need over 20 watts of power. I still have my mechs and my ipv3 and drippers. The reality of it is that I do 95% of my vaping on the go and I like the taste from my Nautilus/Delta better than I do RTAs and Drippers. I understand that there is much more flavor from Drippers and RTAs, but I prefer the taste of my juice from a tank!

Hopefully, Chris will contact you soon to help get this fixed. I've sent him a message. Don't feel bad, like Earthling said above, we've all done something similar at one time or another. You just got yours done right now instead of waiting for later. Hopefully, Chris will contact you soon to help get this fixed. I've sent him a message.

My co-workers all go nuts over Game of Thrones but I haven't watched it.

This will give you a better idea on why the single-coils won't work (or work well) in your dual-coil tank, and give you a full-list of the different versions of the dual-coil heads, compared to the long-stem version of the single-coil head: As you can see, the height of the coil-head is much shorter on the single-coil, which means it will not touch (and seal) the bottom of the center-shaft in your tank. The silicone cap must seal-off the center-shaft (to maintain the vacuum seal), else the juice will just flood into the center-shaft, flood the coil (from the top) and leak all your juice out the drip-tip, and bottom air-hole ports.

Nah, not a moron... just did what all of us have done at one point in time or another... If I had a $1 for every time I grabbed the wrong thing, I'd have quite a few dollars And, based on the description of the coils (online description), there was no reason for you to think they wouldn't fit your KPT3-minis... The description IS incorrect, so unless you knew a Unitank and AeroTank take different coils, you would never have realized something was amiss... Christopher will get it fixed for you, and make it right, I'm sure... since an incorrect description led you to purchase an incorrect coil...

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the latest release). This is just good, mindless fun.

You probably did. That was over a year ago when I took that picture. All those juices have either been vaped or payed forward. It's full of new juices now and more than likely more than 100 altogether although they don't all fit in that organizer. LOL.

I agree with Carter. I have a really great B&M near me. It's well stocked, competitive prices and they cater to alk types of vapers from the noobs to the cloud chasers. I have been in there dozens of times now. Before Christmas I was in there "window shopping" and I spent some 30 mins hanging out and checking things out. They are actually very friendly and the owner as well as the staff take extra steps not to belittle any type of vaper. I think they will be in business for a long time. But one thing you will notice if you spend any time in there at all is that the casual vaper, the smoker who wants to quit, the budget vapers all out number the cloud chasers by a long shot. Spend a half hour in there and the same 3 cloud chasers at the bar sit there the whole time while dozens of vapers come and go picking up their juice, buying their ego bats, asking about simple tanks and setups, testing juices. Im not poo pooing the cloud chasers. To each their own. But they simply are a minority although very vocal and occasionally "holier than thou". There's always a couple ***'s in every crowd. Most of us just seek a decent vape. We don't settle for junk, we want quality in taste and vapor production. We wanted off the analogs. I don't even think I ever knew a smoker who did "lung hits" lol. Its definitely a phenomena of vaping/cloud chasing. Just like this forum, most of what you see is people happy to get off cigs. One friend of mine couldn't get off cigs til he got a mechanical. He needed more vapor but he's not a cloud chaser. He just needed the next level up of vapor production with a higher performance coil. I think the majority fall in to that category - people looking to break the habit of smoking and enjoying the toys and variety.

I just realized today that I surpassed 30 days without a cigarette! I'm sure it was just as awesome for you as it is for me right now... Thank you so much Vapor Talk!

Not caffeine, I get enough from diet sodas and Crystal Light with Caffeine lol. Now they might get my attention of one could vape bourbon and get a good bourbon buzz haha.

That was BS story just for a sale.... WoW Yeah, I would be like aufin and would have got kicked out for checking the guy. Having said that, building a coil that low and not checking it is Definitely unsafe. That is asking for trouble and a lawsuit if that mod blows up on the guy. Not to mention how irresponsible and unprofessional it was.

Yeah, I agree, it looks good on paper, but I too would like to hear from someone using it in a real-world test

If its low enough wonder if I can get a group buy going if the MOQ is good enough a deal Thanks for the help too

And think that I got the green ones at the vape store.. I was still learning about researching everything! See u even need to know about spaces in the batteries. Lol I'm glad I live to read learn and read some more... If it interests me I'll read all day long.. Never afraid to ask the "dumb" questions either.. That's how we learn?!

Yeah, it seems I gave b-i-t-c-h a whole new and improved definition when I was without smokes.

When I quit cold-turkey all those years ago, my wife told me "I hate your nasty habit, but if you don't start smoking again, one of us is moving out!" The next day she came home with a carton of my favorites Apparently I was a grizzly-bear to EVERYONE during that time...

I've tried 3 different kinds but I really like the estick. with the dual coil atomizer with long life batteries.
