Andy, mind to share where did you get your Tobeco snubnose and the price?

yes i know that... point is you can fire, but its useless

btw you do know now there's SS, nickel, titanium wire right? these wires offers lower resistance than normal A1 kanthal

copper is poisonous, and gold is not cheap

Thanks mate. I guess it means if i add 10 percent to the 20% of apple pie, the same goes to the vbic.

hence higher resistance higher heat with lesser power.. not lower resistance gets higher heat as u mention..

There are no hard and fast rules. When some flavors are bumped up above a certain percentage, you may actually get LESS of that flavor.

Some flavors need a bit more time to "bloom"...so it may just be the matter of letting the juice steep a few days more, and that 'weak' flavor may become more pronounced.

Depending on the flavor that is giving u a problem, you may or may not have to change any percentages of the original flavorings at all.
Eg Lets say your apple pie flavor needs a bit of boosting, just add on a bit of fuji apple flavor.
Sometimes, a combo of 2 apple pie flavorings from 2 different manufacturers can have very good results. The percentage of apple pie flavoring remains the same, but that percentage is made up of 2 similar flavorings. I've had good results with mixing several flavors that way.

Some flavors were never meant to be very distinct and pronounced, and work better as a "background" flavor.
Some flavors (esp fruity ones) can be made to "pop" more with the addition of a bit of citric acid.
Often ignored is a touch of saline solution which can help bakery flavors a lot, and a touch of apple cider vinegar can help tame some harshness so that other flavors can appear more distinct.

Experiment!

what i know is i get better vape by vaping 0.5ohm @ 25W than 1.2ohm @ 12W

try 1.2ohm at 25W,.. see wud burn cotton or not..

anyway,.. different people different preference..

You can use any tank you have... not sure you will like not ...not all like the the strong tobacco taste.. i love it..srong tobacco taste hence i use genny or kayfun for it.

wah...first time seing this... gonna google more about it... thanks for the lead

of course its gonna burn.. rule of thumb, low ohm fires at high wattage and higher ohm fires at lower wattage

regulated mod will shows what's current voltage is.. optimal should be around 3.7-4.2.. more than 4.5 it will burn cotton

Anyone here building their coils with ss316l..care to share any tips? I juat built my first ss coils..do a bit pulsing with it and removes hotspots..then get some bluish colour..28g around 9 or 10 wraps..im getting 1.3 idpe..and 1.5 ish when chain vape..pls share some input or tips on ss

bro.. the facts that regulated mods nowadays support up to 200 watt tells the whole story... higher wattage definitely brings out better flavour.. so, stick to your low wattage if u think it's good enough...well, for most of us, higher wattage is our best choice... battery wise, 4 days we can sustain... liquid consumption wise, I opt for better flavour... so, there's no way for us to turn back to lower wattage... that's the point... no point arguing...

Yes. Adding PG is another option. PG also increases throat hit.

Also, steeping also helps with the flavor. Recommended steeping for fruity is at least 5 days and creamy is at least 2 weeks.

I put 2 drops of vodka on my Mojito e-juice

I may be wrong, but I think your problem with burnt cotton is due to poor wicking. I suspect that you are using a very small inner diameter when building your coils, and the wicking cannot carry enough juice to keep up with your puffs.

Not enough (slow flow) juice flow / = burnt coils

i think i wud prefer more holes...with a bit of restriction
and i could totally imagine building them daily hahaha...
but gladly appreciate the input
will try getting a clone to try it out.
mind sharing wad builds are u running for ur daily?

if u have a scope to measure ur active wattage when u fire ur device then u'll know that ur mod is not firing at the wattage that u have set on ur mod..
i've heard that the mod that you are using does bypass the the chip power regulation to fire at effective current battery volt rate, hence mech like firing.
to be honest, i never trusted smok mod chips btw.

the safest firing range is between 3.7v - 4.2v, thats according to the effective battery charge rate.
sub ohm is quite different, voltage will be lower while the wattage will be bump up via the battery amp.
higher amps will allow higher wattage at lower volt to effectively heat up the coils but most of the time, ur volt will linger less than 4 volts.

nope, more flavoring is an overkill, it will ended up muting ur overall mix.
go with moderation.
mixing eliquid is like baking, flavors complementing each other.
go to e-liquid-recipes.com, study all the mixes uploaded there. if u look carefully, some multiple flavorings in a recipe goes way beyond 20% while most of them are below 20%.
less is more, try to maintain your mixes below 15% and learn the concept of main and supporting flavors.
read more bro..

duuhh...lower resistance requires more power to effectively heat up the coils..
but, higher wattage creates more heat, more heat will create more vapor but ur wick will dry up pretty fast which will resulted with burnt taste.
to overcome that issue, coils need to be bigger in diameter so that ur wick will stay saturated for that firing period...
that pairs with effective wicking and appropriate airflow will lessen the probability of dry hit experience.
in a vaccum tank, more heat+bigger airflow=more vapor+high vacuum=no fry wicks.

this u are correct but be reminded, the way u vape right now at 6watts, u r seriously under volt..
under volt will lessen ur battery lifespan the same way when a battery is being discharge at the peak amp rate.
in ur case my friend, ur 6watts is being fired at max maybe 10amp, assuming ur not using a 20amp rate battery.
though u say that u can adjust the wattage of your device, so do i and every one here unless they are using mech mod.
that is why i'm telling u, ur mod already bypass the 6watts settings and firing at ur battery rated volts..
the same way a mech mod is firing.

Coming from US juices, i cant help but to find DIY juices a lil ... well, missing. I just cant get that strong taste even with my attempt of cloning the top juices in e-recipe website. Perhaps real premium juice brewers have secrets up their sleeves.

one more thing, the pg,vg and nic they use is different than what we used here.
thats why our brewers opt for sucra/stevia/EM in their mixes.

Yup, US juices has some secrets. Steeping with oak barrel and homebrew ingredients. You can get close to the US flavor, not 100%.
From my experience, more PG is recommended for higher amount of essence. Certain flavor hurts more than improving if too strong though.
