Alright! Excellent!

I couldn't vape that today. My stomach isn't the best..

Welcome, welcome!

Great little tank but yes, it is finicky to wick. Unfortunately I can't talk you through wicking it. Gotta get just the right amount.

OMG! I feel sorry for what I am about to write, but you are a disaster waiting to happen! Here is where you can find a coil calculator and see for yourself the differences in resistance between wires: http://www.steam-engine.org/coil.html Apply that to the study you did on Ohm's Law. Not knowing the difference is how people end up with half a face.

Ok, There are a number of things to look at. First and foremost, are you using a very high drain battery? At 0.2Ω you are drawing 21A. Check out "Battery Mooch" and make sure you are using a battery that he rates with a high enough CDR to handle that load. A battery that is insufficient may be sagging a lot and diminishing your vape and it may also be a safety hazard. Second, is the mech clean? I mean every thread where parts screw together as well as every contact point. Something like steel wool to make sure no coatings from manufacturing are left and electrical contact spray will help. Third, from the pictures it looks like a lot of cotton in the atty. Is there any room left for air to get around the coils? Forth, some mechs have a tendency to work a little better with simple wire and a few more evenly spaced wraps. You can still get similar resistances using a larger gauge wire. Last and most important, not to embarrass but I feel an obligation, have you studied up on safety with mech mods? They can be everything from a wonderful vape to a pipe bomb. I'm sure others here will also add more that I am not thinking of right now. Good luck!

A greater nicotine percentage will give you more throat hit. Greater percentage of PG will also help a little. Some flavors also are more harsh than others.

Happy Birthday! Know nothing about the rebel or anarchist but the goon is pretty good. I just picked up the Icnoic by Vandy Vape. It's my favorite bf at this point. Flavor beast.

You can vape zero nicotine juice in any tank you like.

Yup, that's the beauty of a good thread. Lots of good ideas come out.

6mg is twice as strong as 3mg. You might want to try 12mg to get more nicotine. If you mix equal amounts of the 3 and 6 you will get about 4.5mg. Somewhere between the 3 and the 6.

Good call, I'll do that too. I was beginning to worry a little. No breaks, but I'm starting to see stress cracks.

Tomorrow I will give that a go! Would love to get it working in TC mode.

Glad I caught this. How do you have yours set for TC? I tried it on one and the vape was whimpy. I'm guessing 50°F or better low. I'd love to use it in TC. Been just using VW since I first tried it.

@gadget Sharp combination!!

First, is your wicking away from the airflow tubes? That is the most common cause. Wicking sitting against the air intake tubes will often leak. If no, remove your cotton, put the atty on some kind of stand and fill the bottom with water. See if you can determine where the leak is occurring.

I find the most expensive and most cumbersome part is the lighting. I should add that I do it as a hobby so my time is not a factor.

A lot of folks use it but all of our taste buds are different. There are a lot of different wicks you can use unfortunately the rigors of testing them all are a pain. I use Japanese cotton pads but I can't promise you'll like them any better. Some folks prefer synthetics and yet others swear by hemp. The hemp option is rugged to source. It generally comes in pillow case quantities. Some people just use cotton balls, lol. That part that resonates with me is that you get 15 or 20 good vapes before the unwanted taste surfaces. This points directly toward lack of e-juice on the cotton or more over the cotton not replenishing the e-juice adequately. Since you have tested that and found it not to be an issue, I'm stumped. Hang in there! There are more experienced vapers in this forum that may just have the key to this enigma!

I guess I don't either. As long as there is enough juice and airflow present and the power is not to great, there is really no other reason for this oddity.

This is huge! Mega Groove!

Looks like @Tam might be busy for a bit. She is better at this kind of thing than I am but in the mean time here are a couple things to try / think about. 1. When you start getting that "taste" after the 20 ish hits, pop the top of the atty and check the cotton. Specifically next to and in the coil. Is it well saturated? The limitless has a long distance to wick and if the cotton is too thick they can dry out a bit. If the cotton is getting dark brown or black it is singing. That makes for a bit of a nasty vape. 2. The limitless produces a lot of fog. Do you think your mouth could be drying out? Lots and lots of water while vaping is the answer to that. Personally, I'm weird, diet coke does it for me. 3. If your wicks are cut high, are you tilting the atty long enough between vapes to allow the cotton to wick properly. I guest last thing I can think of, which is a long shot, is this a new liquid? It may just have an after taste that comes through after vaping a bit.

Amen! And the progression is ludicrous. One mistake and someone burns half their face off. The talking head on MSLSD sells more cokes by screaming "Vaping is Bad". Ten thousand more sheeples plod around droning "Vape bad, bad vape". I get to deal with some impromptu lecture from church lady during a leisurely stroll around the block. Senator Numbnuts seizes the opportunity to tax vape gear at 75%. Just peachy.

Lol, entirely possible. The only place I see our approaches differing is that I am very reluctant to do the math and give specific answers. There is so damn much involved with these batteries regarding safety. We've got re-wraps out there, completely bogus specs out there. There's battery sag, and of course that 100°C line where thermal runaway can occur. I would much rather the person went to school the way we did and get a rounded education.

Why fully charged battery has 4.2V if theres only 3.6V on vtc5, i do not understand that? :/ 18650 Batteries can charge up to 4.2V and produce that when first put into a mod. They will spend most of their life around 3.6V as that is the "nominal" voltage. Obviously 4.2V will pull more current. It's all about safety with a mech mod. There are no electronics protecting the mod.

By the way this is a good answer and i am glad that you answered like this, thank you) You are very welcome! Mechanical mods can be very enjoyable and produce wonderful vapes. That is what I wish for you to have. Understanding the physics that make that happen is the best way to get there.
