Bebop

Does anyone know if the 75% on wholesale includes the gear as well?

Which mod are you using Jason?

Wow. I have so much to say about this. I'm brand new to temp control so you pros bear with me, lol. I built a 3mm macro coil of 28g Ni200 on my ST mini targeting .16 ohms. I used Trippers "pancake" method of wicking - I've seen you guys describe this before but you used another name, I forget. Anyway, it's where you pick and fluff your bow tie so your coil ends up looking somewhat like a yo-yo with the edges of the "pancake" just touching the deck. I'm using the mini Invader loaded with efest 2800 mah 35 A 18650. Ive been vaping my ### off on it for 3 days, lol. The vapor production and flavor is stellar. I pretty much kept the temp control at 450* and I haven't really experimented with that as I wanted a baseline - I'm a little more interested in flavor and coil longevity at this time. The ample vapor is a bonus, lol. I even found myself making tornados just because I could. HAfter 3 days and consistent vapor production and flavor with virtually no drop off of either, tonight I pulled the tank apart and inspected the coil. I was shocked. It was practically pristine! No coil gunk. The wick looked clean, no sign of scorching, no black gunk. It easily slid out of the coil and the whole wick was clean and uniform and juicy. Amazing. Granted it had only been 3 days and I was probably on the low end of the heat band at 450* but yikes, I ran about somewhere around 12 or 15 mls of juice through her, roughly 3 tanks. I am pleased. the reason I think 450* is probably low is the coil would ramp up to 450* pretty quickly and then bounce off the temp and hold it pretty consistently. If I chain vaped it heavily I noticed it seemed a little squelched. It would drop down to 5w or even less and I would get a little drop off in vapor. But really only if I kept hitting it. I suspect the coil would retain a lot of heat so a subsequent fire would rise to 450* pretty quickly. I don't know if that's a characteristic of Ni200 or if it's any different than Kanthal A1. I'll be playing around with this a bit more but I suspect I'm heading to target a slightly higher resistance and bumping up the temp limit some more. Over all I'm really impressed with TC and this unit is performing very nicely. I'm curious to know what your set ups are? What temp limits you like? What are your experiences with it? Have you run in to any problems? Are there better tanks and wicking options that are better than others? What say you?

The key wasn't in your picture.

40 cents per ml in Virginia.....ouch

What do you think that means - 75% wholesale? And so forth....

Have you got a key there Hooker?

Lately I'm vaping like a mad man. I think my juice budget just doubled. Welcome to sub ohming. Im pretty much like the others. I have stretches in the day where i cant vape cuz I'm too busy. But around that it's never far away...

Really impressed with this tank design as well. I will definitely check this out. I like a couple things about it. The simplified airflow design. And also the deck looks easy to build on. If it tastes a s good as it looks, I'm in. love VAPENW too, btw. They are quickly becoming one of my favorite suppliers.

I haven't had any trouble with the stock coils at all. im just venturing a guess but I would say it's a combination of things or one of the following the juice itself - different juices have different contents. Some of those ingredients may contribute to popping. Flooding/over wicking - as iQUIT mentioned you can boost your wattage and burn off excess juice that has collected on the coil. This excess juice could cause popping. Do you notice it after your device has been sitting for a while and does it diminish with use? This is likely what is happening. condensation - vamping produces condensation in the chimney, drip tip and chamber. That condensation can make its way back down to the coil. Any excess moisture can cause that popping. Make sure you clean out your tank, pull the drip tip, mop up any condensation or excess liquid. Cleaning - if you clean your tanks and parts make sure you dry them thoroughly. There are lots of pockets and areas that collect moisture, especially if you have airflow control parts. Blow em out and dry them up well. thats my take on it.

Good luck Cany Well my wire didnt come saturday so it should be there today when I get home along with some new drip tips (I do not like metal tips) I'm trying out some wide bore glass tips and also a couple delrin types. Oh and my new efest 2800s should be in there as well. T C here we come!

We'll find out tomorrow....usps said it went out for delivery at 6:30 this morning... And....I still have to build the coils. I just bought wire and cotton. ....... Then it's time for Trippers pancake wick design.... But yeah, these things plow thru juice like nobody's business. I may have to DIY haha. BTW, I bought the wife an istick 50w as well and she is loving it. Glad I did, this HV mini is like a hand grenade. She does not like the weight lol.

That's the Heatvape Invader mini topped with a subtank mini. I just managed to put it down long enough to take a photo. Haha

I can't say enough how much I love this set up. I've been playing with it for about a week now. And I'm only using stock coils on the subtank mini til I get home this weekend. Haven't even tried temp control yet. But this thing rocks. The flavor and vapor has never been better. I'm running a 1ohm coil. I have it loaded with MXJO 35A 2500 which is performing beautifully with no problems. Everything is working as it should. When I get home I should have Ni200 waiting for me. Really looking forward to trying the TC.

Holy ****, lol. That is a hot mess. Down the rabbit hole you go!

Wow. I think she's a little off, lol That has to be one of the least informative explanations of inhaling IMO. At least I never smoked liked she says she smoked, lol. I'm with comp. On sub ohm with lots of airflow a direct lung hit (with low nic) works best for me. On a regular ego style set up I like mouth to lung. I never thought I'd like direct to lung until I worked out the airflow and the nic. I discovered I liked it a lot. It was rather surprising.

My first answer is bad wire? They should be able to take way more heat than would melt them unless there is a weak spot in the wire like its not pure or you're getting some kibd of a massive surge from a short out or something....

Can you describe the melting coils? I mean are they just fusing? Or is the whole coil evaporating? Or is the leg separating? Pics?

Are you doing vertical builds or horizontal?

This is another tip from another site: "I had to share, since the IGO-w6 is pr etty new. I've built this thing at least 5 times so far, but I was never very satisfied with it's performance. This time I attached all 4 coils to the lower hole in the center post. This keeps all of the coils at the same height from the deck, and lines them up with the air holes much better. I immediately fell in love with this build, it is the best performing by far. The pic isn't the greatest, but you can kinda see how I did it." I couldn't find the pic...

Does this help? https://youtu.be/-Im-YBVMfLA
