Can't overcome lol. Lower ohm = more heat = more vapor... so it should be hotter and use juice faster... also battery drain lot faster too

For micro 28 AWG sounds right... 30 AWG also can, just that you need to go for 1/16 inch drill bit, which is 1.5mm

Use this website for ohm calculation: http://tomcatt2.com/pvapps.html

I find it useful but it will show 0.2 or 0.3 ohms higher than actual value, so use it only as a guideline

Anyone have a good recommendation for a genesis tank? Planning to get a new one.

Rsst a lil bit pricy but will definitely look into it, thanks!

Another question... what model 18650 batteries recommended for mech mod? Until now still using the stock blue batteries, lol

Thanks once again

I don't think I will have any trouble with rsst or aga-t since I am currently using Cobra Clone, haha.

Want to change coz lately, for some reason, it will misfire... it seldom happens thou.

EDIT: Why it seems like no one uses Sanyo, Panasonic or Samsung batteries?

Hong5005? I also always buy stuff from him, lol

Anyone ever tried buying stuff from FastTech.com? They have free shipping and the stuff are shipped from HK.

I just bought a few stuff from fasttech this morning... and also this

Authentic Samsung ICR18650-26F 18650 3.7V 2600mAh Rechargeable Lithium Batteries (2-Pack) with battery case : USD 8.16

Let's see how long the items will arrive

Just search Hong5005 in lelong, easy to find
Also check out his resistance wires... I bought mines all from him, so far top notch and cheapest!

My nemesis clone reach already, hehe
Firing kuat! Better than chi you clone... Only down side is that it's really really heavy

Silver plated, SS body

Or maybe the chi you clone I played with last time is faulty, lol

Definitely tonnes better than my KTS mech mod, lol

He actually have poslaju go his house pick up the parcels I think. Yes, very fast and responsible seller

Don't think so... Scientifically speaking, full brass has better conductivity versus full SS or SS+Silver.

So keep! If you want increased performance on your current mod, try to find the wax they use to improve conductivity on metal connections (I don't know what it's called but I do have it, got some leftovers from my office). It helps to improve conductivity on connections like bolts and nuts etc. It improves conductivity so there will be much less voltage drop and much better firing.

I will get back to you on that... Need to consult my Engineering Materials textbook lol

But one thing I can be sure of is... Mortar if I am not mistaken, has pure solid copper firing pins. No matter what other kind of firing pin, other than pure gold or pure silver, sure lose to pure solid copper.

Yeah yeah noalox! Doesn't make a difference on new mods but once the mods get old... it does wonders! We use it on old wet cell battery solid pins in the server room and also on solid copper ground bar connectors. The difference is a lot.

Vivi nova! It comes with 2 extra coil heads so basically it will get you going till you know what type of tank you like.

There's just so many types and sizes and models. Youtube is your best friend here

Positive always up.

My nemesis clone firing pin dismantled itself just now into tiny little bits!!!! Turns out everytime I use it, the firing pin will loosen a bit, ugh.
Anyways to overcome this problem?? Using 18650 batteries.

Yeap! Maybe will confiscate only lar. But is fine now, coz FastTech now ships via China, not HK. Check out their main page notice at the top.
I just ordered a few stuff.. Maybe you can wait a few more days and see how my items fare.

Haha, dual coil or single? My Era clone now using dual microcoil cotton... I am loving it!!!

Lol, I use sterilized cotton balls... 10 drips = 10 puffs only on dual microcoil

but the vape and warmth... heaven~

Just use the ones from watsons... 10 balls 2.90 one. I am using it now, no issue at all. But boil it 1st and dry it. Really do have a layer of smthing floating in the pot after boiling it >.<

Anyways, anyone here DIY their own liquid? Want to steal some recipes from you guys, hahahaha

My favourite and the only one I vape now, I call it Tangy Strawberry Lemon Zinger.

Ingredients:
1. 75% VG (No PG since I am sensitive to it)
2. 4% Lemon Flavouring (Or lower % also can... the lemon flavour very strong!)
3. 15% Strawberry Flavouring
4. 6% Orange Flavouring
5. 5 drops/10ml of liquefied Stevia sugar (Can buy the Equal Stevia sackets and dilute in PG or any UPS grade alcohol or pure VG)

All flavouring I use star brand. So far works very well for me.

Bakery supplies shop got

Also gonna try to use citric acid on my new batch... they say it brings out the fruity flavours even more.

Everything except for nicotine and Stevia sugar can be bought from bakery supply shops. I will compile a list later on after work

Actually you only need to go to 3 sources to get the materials:
1. Bakery supply shop (Vegetable Glycerin, Flavouring, Citric Acid (For enhanced fruit flavour))
2. Watson/Guardian for Equal Stevia Sugar
3. Online shop like Lelong and Facebook for concentrated Nicotine

Hardest ingredient to come by is the nicotine... for me its not an issue at all since I don't use nicotine juices.

Just done recoiling using three techniques:
1. Twisted wire (2 x 32 AWG)
2. Microcoil (8 wraps over 2mm centre diameter)
3. Dual mesh wick (1 large wick and 1 small wick inside the large wick)
3. Brushed cotton on wick

and the end result:


Vapes like dual coil dripper!

Remember to torch also! Microcoil after torch become very hard to bend, so will stay in place. I usually torch mine 2 times... 10 secs torch, then let it cool, 10 secs torch again.

Yeah I agree, keeping the drill bit in is a MUST! Screwed up few times because forgot to use drill bit...
