I've been looking around on the web trying to find some extra adjustable connection top caps for the Heatvape Invader Mini 50W but have had no luck so far. I think it would a lot easier switching out atomizers if you could just leave the Invader's connection ring on them, and they make a pretty stable base for your atties when they're not in use, too. I emailed Heatvape about where to buy them in the U.S. and I'm waiting on a reply...I'll post their information as soon I get it.

Welcome to VT, Andy! First of all... let me dispel myth... you don't need a 0.00001 Ohm coil, powered by a nuclear reactor to get a "flavorful vape"... I also seriously doubt you'd be able to push the 0.5 ohm build on that Tesla beyond 50W without beginning to cook most juices.... upwards of 120W, and you're making charcoal, IMO. Flavor is about finding the Wattage and coil resistance (Ohms) that best match the juice.... too little power (Wattage) and you get a weak, cool vape... too much, and you get a hot, burnt flavor. For my 0.5 Ohm builds, I run them at 30-45W, depending on the juice, and one of my juices tastes like burnt socks if I push it above 25W, even at 0.5 Ohms!! Bottom line, what works for me and my juices may not work for yours, so you'll have to play with it... start low (like 20W), and vape... bump up the Wattage a half Watt or whole Watt at a time, vape, repeat... once you get a SLIGHTLY burnt flavor... back off a Watt or two.. that is the sweet-spot for THAT juice and coil combo. Also... if you are going to run a box-mod of that power, and sub-ohm... and you're admittedly new to vaping... do yourself and all of us a favor... USE THE BEST BATTERY YOU CAN BUY (Purple Efest, Samsung 25r, LG HE2, or Sony VTC4), and buy yourself a coil meter (for checking the resistance of your coil builds, even if they are pre-built)! SAFETY FIRST! We want you to enjoy vaping, not be a statistic for the media to exploit when you blow something up (like yourself)...

​That's weird because I've also heard about people using twisted Nickel and Kanthal (for added coil strength) strands successfully in TC mode. The TC circuit should recognize the path of least resistance, which would be the Nickel wire strand.

​V2 has a black sleeve around the clear plastic box and V1 has a white sleeve around the clear plastic box, but you can eliminate the guesswork by just going here.

​I am guessing you are correct. I have not heard anything. The web page says shipping in May. They better hurry, or possibly they mean 2016. I wrote them an email. I doubt I will get a reply. If I do, I will try to get them to give me credit on another mod. I really want another Temp Control mod. I am kinda waiting on the new ipv mini.

​They're still mining enough Mithril to make it. As you well know, Mithril is very rare...

I'd take the credit in my opinion. But I hope all goes well with your pre-order!

Im loving the Clockwerks Custard also. I think Rixter should get a free bottle from them for turning all of us on to it.

Thanks, everyone around me has been pleased with not having to be around my cigarette smell anymore. Pretty proud and thanks for the websites. Someone like me needs something like that, I'm very slow. I appreciate all the help. And the kindness!

You won't go wrong listening to Earthling's advice. We stress safety here, as well as taking it slow with people who are new to vaping. Don't try to fly a lear jet when you're still working on the riding a bicycle first. There are plenty of ways to get lots of vapor with tanks and pre-built coils without going the RDA or RTA route. If you want super massive clouds that obliterate light, then that's when you go with the RDA. Otherwise, a good tank, a good battery, and the right juice should get you plenty of vapor. I can fog up a room pretty easily with a Kanger Pro Tank 2, 1.8 ohm coil, an Eleaf iStick 50W, and some 40 PG/60 VG juice at 3 mg nic.

Congrats on kicking the analogs (or at least making the effort if you haven't completely quit yet)... Getting the proper rig, flavors, and nicotine levels are the key, and I must say (and others will agree), vaping is the most effective way I've found to quit analogs for good! Ohm's Law is fairly easy... really... lower Resistance draws more Amps, requires higher Voltages, and more Power (Wattage). Low Ohms are quick to heat, get really hot, and quick to cool... higher Oms heat slower, are cooler overall, and are slow to cool down. Here's a good website to show the ratio and relationship of Resistance (Ohms) and how they relate to Voltage and Power (Wattage). Here is a link to a well written piece by one of our members, Compenstine... to outline spotting fake Sony batteries.

Right now I'm stuck on Vaping Watch's Clockwerks Custard. I have Rixter to blame for that one. It's good by itself or mixed with other flavors. Mmmmm

From what I've seen, mech mods aren't as popular as they once were. That said, my favorite mech mod is the Magneto. The K100 (Empire mod clone) is a close second. Both are very inexpensive to buy. More people these days (if our members are any indication), are going for the variable voltage/variable wattage devices. My personal favorites are the Eleaf iStick 50W (I have four... or was it five) of them now. Next is the IPV mini and IPV mini 2, which takes an external battery. These are around $50 or less.

Glad I could help Sony is a good battery, but there are a lot of fakes and re-wraps out there... so be cautious of where you buy from (avoid eBay). There are several threads on here that will document how to spot fake Sony VTC, so you may want to look at those? As for RBA... drippers (RDA) or rebuildable tanks (RTA)... I would avoid those until you get a feel for your vaping... and a good handle on Ohm's Law. Building can be fun, but it can also be expensive (to start out) as well as dangerous for someone that has not done their research or homework. Feel free to ask questions around here... a lot of good folks on this forum that are happy to help out, give advice, encouragement, etc. Are you vaping for the hobby, or to quit smoking?

Glad your ok Rixter

i really like the white kanger subox mini kit....

After seeing this tread I'm going to try what I had planned to do and see how it works. I never did try it, wish I would have now. I would have been the first had I just tried it. I was thinking about this way back in Dec 2014. LOL

​Thanks, man. I've been wanting to take a couple of days off work anyway, so it was perfect timing.

By far the best custard I've tried is Vaping Watch's Clockwerks Custard. It's not too sweet and has a true custard flavor.

​ To my knowledge, it would only apply to juice, as they want to make juice listed as a "tobacco product"... but give them time and they'll "try" to tax the hardware, too.
