Using 24g instead of 22g you will need less wraps. Less wraps mean less wire to heat up using the same ohms, you may notice your coil will heat up faster.

Everything I've seen outside of the media selling cokes indicates that it has to be unregulated mods, ripped or torn batteries, etc. Here's a great video showing just hard it would be to make a battery blow up: I think you would really have to work at getting a regulated mod to have a catastrophic battery failure.

Generally, when we get more information about the exploding battery, we discover that the person who got hurt was carrying a loose battery in his pocket with change, keys, other metal objects, and it created a situation where the battery shorted out. In the case of a woman who put her extra battery in her purse, she thought it was safe because she put it into a separate pocket in the purse and didn't have the battery safely in a protective case. In this situation, I believe her keys were the culprit. If you're using good batteries in your mod, taking care to lock the mech mod before putting it down/away when not in use, carrying your spare batteries in a case to keep it from coming into contact with metal... you should be okay. Of course, there are always instances of bad batteries, malfunctioning mods, etc. but those are pretty rare if you take the proper precautions.

I've been working on this one a few weeks and finally got it to my liking. 40PG/60VG base Cup A Joe (CAP) 5% - French Vanilla (TFA) - Sweet Cream (TFA OR CAP) 7% - Sweetener (TFA) 2% I let this one age about a week.

I'm always checking for missing screws before dumping the water out, now I tighten all the screws before giving them a ultra sound bath.

That is another funny phenomenon. In my subtank mini RBA deck I can build a better coil than factory. I get consistently better flavor that the store bought coil. But in my zephyrus RBA deck I get a good build (dual) and a happy one but I can't seem to beat the premade dual coils flavor. However that flavor on the factory coils drops off heavily after a couple days while my coils hum along for a week or two with consistent flavor.

Looks a little like my Coffee mix. 5% Café Coffee FW 3% Bavarian Cream FW 3% French Vanilla FW

Cool. I think in general it's hard to really state what a flavor build is. Probably because it's so subjective. It's easy to build for clouds. Flavor is more ellusive. I don't know why that is. Perhaps because many more things contribute to flavor. Flavor appears to be sensitive. For clouds you need power and airflow. Pretty simple. I have a couple of observations and a couple of theories about flavor. Juice - In the good old days before everybody went batcrap crazy about diacetyl and other additives in ejuice, it used to taste great. And it wasn't that hard to make it taste great. It tasted great as long as you didn't scorch it. It tasted great at 9 watts and it tasted great at 50 watts. Dual (or more) coils almost always create more flavor. I have no idea why, since it doesnt seem to be just about clouds. Perpaps it's surface area. I don't know. For whatever reason, more cloud does not mean more flavor. My sweet spot is 3mm (single or dual) .5 - .6 ohm about 25W - 35W. But I also love a .8 at about 20W on certain juices. I rarely vape at 40W or more unless Im fooling with a low ohm RDA for fun. It's just not my thing. I personally don't see the attraction of massive clouds and wasting juice. I do love a good cloud with great flavor. I'll take flavor any day and i find that in the .5 - .8 range

Generally the higher the resistance the better the flavor. The TFV8 has 8 1.2 ohm coils. A single .15 coil won't give the same flavor as single 1.2 coil, when you get 8 1.2 coils firing at once you get a lot of cloud, and a lot of flavor.

Vaping is like onions. It has layers. (Yes I did steal and bastardize that). As I get further along into building my own atomizers and get lower in resistance and higher in wattage the flavor is bursting! I'm going back through some of the juices I have had for a bit and they are taking on a whole new life. I had tried VTMN Purple and found it an ok vape but no outstanding flavor. Put an RBA into a Crown (I) and holy crap! There is a very distinct flavor. It may not end up being my favorite, but there is flavor. A ton of it! The down side is I really need to up my game making DYI juice. I've got a few tanks and RDA's that are real producers now but they drink juice like flushing a toilet. Holy moly. I had no idea what I was getting into. But I like it!

Here's the video @Edna link to in her post above:

To celebrate my 3 year vape-versary (Feb. 8th) I bought myself an Innokin Coolfire IV TC 75W mod, a new Limitless Plus RTA, and some assorted vaping "stuff". I'm not a high-wattage vaper so I'm hoping to get the same good experience with the Coolfire IV I've gotten with my EVic mini. 40-50W suits me fine, at least right now. That may change, maybe not. Who knows. Hmm, may need more batteries............... If anyone had told me 3+ years ago that vaping would get me off the stinkies for good, I'd have probably reacted with "yeah right". Thank goodness for the co-worker that talked me into trying vaping. I've felt physically better than I have in years, my allergy medications have been cut in half, now just to get the extra weight off. >>sigh<< Despite all the money I've spent on vaping gear, I know I have still SAVED money not buying stinkies.

VOILA! Finally "found" something to take the vapor residue off the inside of my car windows! Witch Hazel of all things. I do put the window down when I vape in the car, but some still sticks to the windshield and window cleaner and isopropyl alcohol just make a cloudy mess. All the windows took a couple of rounds of cleaning, but IT WORKS! Sure beats buying a little bottle of some "super duper" high priced cleaner! Happy mama right here!!!
