Difference between high/low voltage/wattage
T-Bone and one other reacted to Earthling789 for a topic
When thinking of Wattage, think light-bulbs... a 100W bulb is more powerful (brighter, hotter) than a 40W bulb... The same thing stands for vaping. More Wattage = more power, and subsequently more Amps are required of the battery to reach higher power. More Watts does not necessarily mean more vapor. Sure, if the Wattage or Voltage is too low, vapor is diminished, but too much Wattage/Voltage will just cook the juice, giving you a horrible taste. Some juices will handle more power than others. More vapor is produced with higher VG content of the juice. 100% VG will give you the maximum potential for maximum vapor, and the hotter you can get it and the faster you can get it to the coil, the more vapor you get. This is why cloud-chasers are looking for maximum efficiency in their wicks, maximum air-flow, and the lowest Ohm coils possible, so they can produce extremely high temps via high Watts (which also means high Amps). Voltage and Wattage are functions of Ohm's Law, and are two of the variables. Given that your coil's resistance is a set variable, you "set" either Voltage or Wattage to allow the device to determine the third. It is really a choice of the person to determine which method they prefer... Personally, I use slightly different Ohm coils across dozens of tanks, so I leave the Wattage setting as my "set variable" and let the device select the proper Voltage. This way I can maintain relatively the same flavor level across all my tanks. If you use the same resistance coils, you can use the Voltage setting, and the device will set the Wattage. Basically they both are the same side of the coin... more Voltage/Wattage = higher Amps, which results in more power/current.2 points -
Istick fans(50w preorder)
Starre LaBell reacted to joejoevapekins for a topic
$49.98 http://kinglyvapes.com/shop/istick-50w/?affiliates=4 Estimated Release Date: Week of January 26, 2015 This is for the Battery Only. Please see Product Description for more details on estimated release. A bigger, badder iStick with extended output range, subohm capabilities and a HUGE battery capacity! It would take something pretty awesome to beat the original iStick. Enter the iStick 50w: •4400mAh battery capacity is enough to keep you vaping all day, if not longer. •SubOhm capabilities means that blowing big clouds is no problem! •Extended voltage / wattage range gives you unparalleled control over your vapor's flavor, intensity and warmth.1 point -
New from Ohio
Nancy Bout reacted to Darth_Emma for a topic
Hi! I am new to vaping. Just got my first set up this week... an iStick (20W) and an Aspire Nautilus mini. I bought them from sweet-vapes.com. I was very happy with their prices and fast shipping. I have done some reading and watched a few youtube videos to learn a bit about breaking in coils and how to adjust the wattage and air flow to make vaping more enjoyable. I've tried a few e-juices and I have enjoyed many of them. It's been interesting to adjust the wattage and air flow to see what tastes best to me. I've never smoked (cigarettes). However, I am retired and want to try some new things to keep life interesting. This is one of those things. So far, I'm enjoying it. I use only 0mg nic e-juices because I don't want the addiction. (I am not judging others who enjoy nic. It's just not something I'm interested in trying. To each their own, I say.) I was glad to find this community to help me find new e-juices and to get some honest product reviews. I look forward to participating in this forum.1 point -
Who has an Atlantis and actually likes it?
raiderep reacted to Starre LaBell for a topic
Since you bought your Atlantis from Sweet-Vapes, it should be authentic. I bought a mini Aerotank from them last year, and the bottom was damaged. I emailed them, sent the tank back, and got a new one. Perhaps there's just a manufacturing defect, or yours is damaged? It can't hurt to see if they'll let you swap it for another.1 point -

I only trust food-grade or surgical-grade Stainless Steel to touch my juices. I have a Brass RDA and it makes the flavor taste like a bunch of coins in your mouth... Aluminum drip-tips give my juices a harsh metallic taste... For this reason, I won't buy a Kanger Genitank, because they are Chrome over Copper. Chrome naturally Oxidizes over time, which creates a barrier of "Oxidation" (read: clear rust), and I don't trust how that will contaminate my juice or introduce unknown toxins into my system! At least Aspire has came clean on their issue, but they get a huge thumbs-down from me because they marketed them as ALL Stainless Steel....1 point -
Difference between high/low voltage/wattage
T-Bone reacted to Earthling789 for a topic
Glad that cleared some things up for you The 9W target is seen on a lot of charts, and yes, it is kind of a sweet-spot for flavor on most juices. I know my all-day-vape tastes best (depending on tank and coil) between 7.5W and 10W, and my MVP is currently running 9W with a Kanger KPT2 and 1.8 Ohm coil. Every juice will have a sweet-spot for Wattage or Voltage, depending on the resistance of the coil, and to some degree, the type of tank. You really have to play with the settings and coil resistances for each juice to find the combo that you like best. When you're unsure of what works best, start your settings low, vape a little, try a higher setting, vape a little, repeat.... once a setting makes the juice taste burnt or "bad", back the settings a notch or two and you've found the sweet-spot for that juice/tank/coil combo.1 point -
Good battery for an Aspire Atlantis and Nautilus
Tam reacted to Earthling789 for a topic
You're obviously not a heavy-vaper, lol... Even with moderate use, my MVP never lasted more than 3 days, and using it as a primary battery for my 1.5 Ohm coils, I was lucky to get 2 whole days on it, even when it was new. If you like the MVP, Innokin has a 20W version available now, and will soon come out with the MVP 3.0, which is expected to spec-out at 30W and a much higher mAh, high-Amp battery. Eleaf has a very nice (and compact) 20W battery, the iStick, and is soon to release a 30W and 50W version. All of these will be capable of your Nautilus needs. For the Atlantis, you must have a battery capable of firing down to 0.5 Ohms, which rules out the 20W MVP or iStick, because they will not fire coils that low. Aspire markets a battery for the Atlantis, which is sub-ohm rated (and has a nice-looking carbon-fiber design), and looks like a larger version of the Vision Spinner-style of batteries. The next step-up would be to look at replaceable-battery APV's (advanced personal vaporizers). I am using an IPV-mini right now, which is capable of 30W and will fire down to 0.5 Ohms, but requires purchase of separate 18650 battery (which must be capable of high-drain and at least 10A [20A preferred] to constantly fire 0.5 Ohm coils at 30W). There are dozens and dozens of this type of digital mod available, but be prepared to pay a minimum of $50 for the mod... with the majority of them running MUCH higher... and an additional $40 for a pair of batteries and reputable charger... and that is just to get you started! Oh, and don't rule out a mechanical MOD for your Atlantis, but expect to spend the same $40 minimum for a pair of batteries and charger, and then the cost of the MOD, which will start at $30 for a decent clone, and move up from there to better clones, low-end authentic, and on up to hundreds of dollars for high-end authentic MODs.1 point -
I love it when you talk geek, Earthling. Also, turn the battery too high and you'll burn your wick, which will leave a nasty taste in the juice of your tank. The only way to get rid of it once the wick is burned is to empty the tank, clean it out, put a new coil in and refill with new juice.1 point

Nice! Good job Tam. That video helped me fix my Vision Spinner that wouldn't charge.1 point

I've been getting the same "no atomizer" message from my iSticks, too. It's more than likely the center pin on the battery that got pushed down too far and needs to be pulled up so it connects with the atomizer in the tank. An easy fix. This vid is for an eGo battery but the principle is the same. Be very careful and slow when you're pushing on the center pin to pull it up, you don't want to pull it out.1 point

You got a very good set up. The Vapor Talk store has the Eleaf iStick 20w for $31.99 and the Nautilus mini for $24, but you'll nearly always pay more at a brick and mortar store than online. Regardless, it's a solid start. There's always something "better" out there but what you have is a great place to start. Read lots and learn more. You'll find something else that catches your eye as you go along. Vaping is very subjective. What someone else loves won't work for you and vice versa. Only you will be know what works for you and that's only when you try it for yourself.1 point

Honestly,I would stick to what you got right now.I have a Nautilus too and I love it.I would give the eleaf and Nautilus a chance before going out and buying some high dollar mods and tanks.I would spend your money on different eliquids to find what you like.just a suggestion!1 point
