Help with understanding coil gauge and wrapping
DavidBowser replied to heavenscurse's topic in Modders Forum
The diameter of your coils will affect your ohm readings. The smaller the coil the more wraps you need to make. Get an Ohm meter for sure. -

Holy Molly there that coil went from one side to the other!!!! How did you keep from shorting it? -
How To Rebuild A KPT Head - A Pictorial Tutorial
DavidBowser replied to Rixter's topic in Coil Builds
I have an OLD Kanger that is for an eGo head. The silicon insulator is a PITB to put back in. LOL Just made a new coil for mine using 32 gauge and single 3.5mm silica wick I used a small flavor wick of cotton yarn. Only I used the Mid sized cheap eyeglass Phillips head screwdriver (the ones with the silver handles and 8 to the set)to form a 5 - 4 wrap coil. I used to use the 4-40 screw 4 - 3 wrap with 2 threads of 3 mm silica. The next one may be a wrap like yours only with 6-5 just for experimenting. The resistance went from 2.+ ohm down to 1.8 the flavor and mouth hit went way up. The cloud of vaper is so much better also. I had a new Volt Twist that developed a circuit board short and they sent me a new one telling me to keep the dead one. SO I made a wood box 18650 mod with the head. -
Shakes my head.

Couple questions, mostly flavor related
DavidBowser replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Yep, it is not all that unusual in some set ups. Mine usually do this around 1/3 left. I just top it off again. I used to curse and grab a fresh charged battery. LOL But I started building mods with 18650 batteries and they out last one tank. -
What guage Kanthal wire to use? N00B help!
DavidBowser replied to VaperKitty's topic in Wick and Wire
OK WHAT keeps the E-juice from flowing out the fill hole on the top when you tilt it to vape like that??? -
I usually do not buy Nicotine in that large of bottles as I am afraid it might go bad before I use it all up. VG I get at the local Walmart store fairly cheaply. BUT I will check on the internet before buying next time. I wish there was a local Farm store close by to check on their PG.
-
The cheapest place I found it lately is My Freedom Smokes. BUT check on the internet as prices change monthly.

My new kinda "go to" E-liquid now
DavidBowser replied to DavidBowser's topic in DIY e Liquid Discussion
I tried their coffee extract flavor and really liked it, but my coil only lasted 2 days. It was COVERED with black crust that was hard as a brick. I should have known better LOL. -
I decided to go cheap here lately so I went to Walmart and picked up some Watkins food flavor. Got some VG there fairly cheap. The flavors are Pure Mint and some Imitation Cherry Extract. Good name and flavors. Sent of to another DIY store in the web and got some PG. Then sent off for some 100mg Nic. So I sat down and decided to play around with the flavors without adding the Nic first knowing I could always make some cupcakes if all else failed. I ended up with a 50/50 mix of flavors to 50/50 PG/VG mix at 20 % strength. That ended up being 6 mls of the flavors to 24 mls of PG-VG mix. (close enough for me). I used this mix to make up my e-juice as follows in 30 ml bottles. Red – E to Vape Cherry - Mint 14 mg 100 MG nicotine 4.2 ml 84 drops PG VG mix 9.9 ml each 19.8 total Cherry – Mint mix 6 ml size 30 mL 12mg 100 MG nicotine 3.6 ml 72 drops PG VG mix 10.2 ml each 20.4 total Cherry – Mint mix 6 ml size 30 mL 10 mg 100 MG nicotine 3 ml 60 drops PG VG mix 10.5 ml each 21 total Cherry – Mint mix 6 ml size 30 mL Cherry – Mint No nicotine 12 ml VG 12 ml PG 6 ml Cherry – mint mix

Do You Keep Your E-Cig Next To The Bed When You Sleep?
DavidBowser replied to DarthVaper's topic in Polls and Questionnaires
When I started Vaping it was to get away from smoking cigarettes. I am a heavy vaper, of that there is no doubt, in fact too heavy. BUT it is more of a habit I think then need for nicotine. My E-Juice has very little Nicotine in it. I will have a toot before going into the bedroom, but the Mod stays in the living room at night. My first toot is when drinking my first cup of coffee, not during the night. -
I tell you, I have tried a lot of different flavors of E-Juice, but have yet to find one that really tastes like a good analog cigarette. I smoked Salem for years and switched to Generic Menthol when they got too expensive. Then started to roll my own. But that is in the past. Everyone's taste is different, what I like you may not, and what you like I may not. SO---- what I did was to buy a analog flavor and mixed in a straight menthol flavor 50-50. I can live with it. I have been vaping for about a year now and think it is about time to get away from tobacco flavor. SO it is time to get my fingers wet doing DIY. Not too wild about the thought of Watermelon, LOL .

Is it now "Out of Business" ?
DavidBowser replied to DavidBowser's topic in General Vaping Discussion
OK Then. They are still in business. I can not get them with the Windows Explorer but can get them with Google Express. I hate Windows and Microsoft. I just got a notification from them that they are sending me a new battery and did not have to send the defective one back to them. They just asked that I dispose of it or re-cycle it. It is good to hear they are up and still running. They have good products if you like eGo things instead of the 510 connections. -
Is it now "Out of Business" ?
DavidBowser replied to DavidBowser's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I just tried them through Windows Explorer and got the same message, and I restarted the computer! BUT I got to them through Google Chrome ! ? ! ? Anyway I sent them a message that my New, Volt Twist died. We will see what happens. -
Well durn it any way! I went to the Smokeless Image Web Site because my NEW Volt Twist Battery was acting up and last night evidently shorted out in the control board. I got the following screen: This Site Has Been Disabled Contact your service provider for more information. Has anybody heard anything???

Darn shame all the picts were removed.

How To Build A Easy Vv Dual 18650 Wood Mod (Images Heavy)
DavidBowser replied to Sonar505's topic in Modders Forum
O----M----G This is what I said I was looking for. Now that I have seen it, I am ready to go check into a mental hospital. I checked the yellow pages and there is none close. So I may have to try this. I will have to study and re-study and re-study for a long time first. Thank you for posting this for all of us. This really is, what I was looking for. -
How To Build A Easy & Inexpensive 3.7 V Wood Mod (Image Heavy)
DavidBowser replied to Sonar505's topic in Modders Forum
Thank you - Thank you. I know this has been up for a bit but I have been lazy and have used only plastic battery box mods in making mine. Time to move on. As soon as I learn how to use and mount a variable volt thingy {don't know how to spell it - snicker} I want to use one on a stacked battery mod. Then later a volt display board. Then I can look like the old man in my avatar. -
I wish this site had an "Edit" button or maybe I should re-read before hitting the POST button, LOL After posting this I found it. LOL
-
I use mainly a Clearomizer at home and a Cartridge thingy when I go out. I mainly use the condom refill method for those then top off with a few drops before going out. I tell you though I am thinking of those TINY little Atomizer things that hold 20 or so drops. You have to fill them with a syringe. There is more stuff on Youtube then you can throw a rock at. I have learned a ton of information there.

The first thing that came to my mind is maybe you might be getting E-juice on your lips, but if it is only on the corners of your mouth----.

The Kanger T3 has a plastic non removable mouth piece, how would you get a shock?

My tank seems to be condensated.
DavidBowser replied to willmon22's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
I was kidding on the juice, Hmmm, I am a heavy vaper though, NO NO NO Not a gallon, LOL. -
Flavor or really Taste question
DavidBowser replied to DavidBowser's topic in General eLiquid Discussion
Thank you Tameiki, I am getting close to trying my hand at DIY jucing very soon and have an idea or two to play with. I do like the idea of mixing boughten E-juices, but I think I am about ready to get wet junk all over the table, LOL. The idea of tinkering just sounds too tempting not to give it a go. I will start small at first of course until I find what I really like. -
Oh man, I know what you mean by this. Things can get outright confusing on all this LOL. First one company make a thing called "This", then another company makes the same thing that looks a tiny bit different ang calls it "That". They fit but may or may not work on "Someones" Battery. After all that "I'll-get-ya's" makes a set of adapters that may or may not work on any of them.
