I was gonna say "dinner at my house"!!!

I've had this happen more than once on the new vertical coils, and one of the SSOCC as well. Despite plucking the cotton a bit, priming, and allowing them to soak for hours... I've yet to have one of the older horizontal coils give me this problem, however... First of all, what Wattage are you starting these coils out with? Some juices cannot tolerate high Watts. My all-day-vape likes 12.5-18W, depending on the tank/mod combo, but using the 1.2 Ohm horizontal coils, I can push them to 18W (after the first dozen hits @ 14W). If I'm using the vertical coils, they are toasted if I go above 15W. Your juice has limits, despite what the recommended range of the coil says. Regardless of anything... start low on Wattage, vape, bump Wattage up... vape, repeat... once you get a slight burnt taste, turn the Wattage down 0.5-1.5 Watts, and that is the sweet-spot for that juice. Once you burn cotton/coil, it is shot, and if you continue vaping with a burnt coil, or burn it badly enough the first time... the burnt flavor is transferred to the juice, and you'll taste burnt flavor even with a perfectly good replacement coil. BTW, Welcome to Vapor Talk!

Earthling FTW!

Either your Mech's firing-button spring is too weak (heating up like a coil), or your battery cannot handle the load you're asking of it. Are you 100% certain your battery is an AUTHENTIC VTC5? There is a very high possibility it is a knock-off or re-wrapped cheap-o. What is the resistance of your coil? Are you using a proper Ohm Meter to test it, or just going by the # of wraps and guessing? The VTC5 has a higher mAh capacity than the VTC4, but it is NOT rated to 20A... so I'd not build anything lower than 0.5 Ohm on an authentic VTC5, and that would be pushing MY personal level of safety.... Either way, find out what is causing the issue... coil resistance too low, battery not authentic, or Mod's firing button/spring requires repair/replace... Do this BEFORE YOU USE IT AGAIN, or you'll become another statistic the media will use to tell everyone how evil and dangerous e-cigs/vaporizers are!

Yes, Bebop, you win the glamorous all expense paid trip to... your bathroom! It has hot and cold running water, a magical portal that makes things disappear, a beautiful tropical waterfall...

I've not tried the Pegasus 70W, but held one at the local B&M, and it seemed pretty solid and felt okay in my hand. The Triton 2 is a good tank, and I like them quite well. Some have complained about threading issues on the top-cap, but mine is smooth. Capacity is good, Pyrex tank, which is replaceable, and the coils have good flavor and vapor (and I'm using the 1.8 Ohm). My only complaint is the coils... they don't seem to last as long as the Kanger SubTank OCC coils... they seem to gum-up and restrict air-flow after only 4-5 tank-fulls... after 10 tank-fulls, airflow is so restricted, it's like sucking a thick milkshake through a tiny straw, lol

^^ This ^^ Internal (Li-Ion) battery, 4500mAh, 6-60W power ability, puff counter, bright display, solid buttons, and still one of the more durable APV's around... MVP series units are known for reliability and very durable. I used my MVP2.0 for 16 months before I paid it forward... and the recipient has been using it every day for the past 6-8 months without ANY issues or diminished power. I didn't realize there were 3 USB ports on it, but the Micro port is used to charge it, and the standard USB port is used by other devices to be charged FROM/BY the MVP. I've no clue what the 3rd is for? I've used my 2.0 several times to put an emergency charge on my cell phone's pitiful battery, and it worked very well.

It would be my guess a lot of people here use the istick, I don't use one but would probably buy one if they didn't have built in internal batteries. I like to be able to change the battery.

Surely there will be a market for more advanced vaping. Dont you think that Big Tobacco will support this? In the form of "sister" companies catering to this need? Otherwise I would expect a huge underground market. I just don't see how they can stop it. It's just too dang easy to produce your own gear and juice. The amount of regulation required to limit consumer purchase of hardware, ingredients, etc is mind boggling. They would have to redesign and trademark batteries etc. It's crazy. I'll take my dozen protanks and hobble along with what I have for years if necessary....they'll have to pry my vape from my cold dead hand, lol...

VaporTalk Exotic Tobacco is very good and you would be supporting our buddy who provides us this forum.
