Unregulated Build

So I going to build my first unregulated box mod I've looked up a lot of videos and have done my home work just looking for some tips that you guys may have from building your own.

Regulated Telescopic Mod For Sub Ohming?

Does that exist?

I am currently using a IPV2S/Atlantis. I LOVE this setup but its just a tad bulky. I'm a girl and my bag is rather small so I was hoping to have something that I can just slip in . Something that produces 40-50watts is sufficient enough and it HAS to be regulated. I've always loved the way a telescopic mod looks but hate how most are unregulated.

You guys know of any? Seems like they are either unregulated or it produced up to 30watts only  

Need Help On A Build

Hey guys, i have a mutation x v2 RDA on a sigelei 100w mod. I'm somewhat new to building, i'm not great, but im not terrible. I've been looking for an easy build that i get some good clouds and flavor on. BUT i want to be able to take nice long draws without drying out my wick too fast. I currently have 28g and 26g kanthal. Suggestions?  

How Did You Start Vaping And Why ?

I did because I was addicted to cigarettes . I found out about them on the net and I was going to buy one of those starter kits but I did not . I researched a bit more and found out that rebuildables are cheaper and better so I bough a rebuild-able together with a unregulated mod . I watched a few tutorials on youtube and my first build was pretty decent so I stuck to rebuildables . Funny thing is up to this day , I still dont have a ohm meter . My 18650s have always been 35A so I was never worried safety . I have never built a coil ( I use 24G ) with less than 4 wraps and never had any problems . Just a week ago I ordered a iStick 50w which I am really exited about . I was going to buy the God 180W but it turned out that it can not be charged though USB which is a necessity for a VW/VV mods .

i would like to hear your stories  

My First Build

Just finished up my first build using 24 Guage kanthal with 9 wraps. It's a dual coil build that came out to .49 ohms. It's not the best looking build but for my first attempt I guess it's not too shabby. It was built on my mutation x v4. 40-45w was about as high as I could go before it got too hot for my liking. just wanted to share it.  

$15 For A Build Really?

So i build my coils, but i wanted someone get my wraps tighter, so i asked a friend, and he recommended me too one of our vape shops. the guy there said $5 per coil and 5 for wicking, is this just outrageous or whats the normal price for a build  

Cotton Wicks Making Me Sick?

I have been using an evod for two years now. Yeah, I know, minor leagues, but it gets the job done just fine for me.

For the first 18 months I was constantly buying new coils. I work from home so I can basically vape all I want and I vape A LOT. I use Swagger as my ADV and it will destroy a coil in just a couple days. It was becoming difficult to even find coils to buy and it was getting expensive, so I did some research on rebuilding my own coils. At first I tried to build them with silica wick, but I could never get them to work right. Using 1mm silica wick wrapping around a stick pin the wraps would always be too big and there was lots of leak/gurgling. So I went the cotton route and would wrap around a 1/32 drill bit and then slide the cotton through the coil. Works great, perfect ohms, great flavor. I've been doing this for the past six months. In the first 18 months of vaping I never got sick once. Since I've been using the cotton wicks I've been SEVERELY sick twice (probably a respiratory infection but never went to the Doc), and now I feel like I'm getting sick AGAIN.

I've noticed that I can see little flecks of what looks like cotton building up on the mouthpiece, and I'm assuming, going into my lungs. I think this is what is making me sick--the buildup over time. Anyone else had issues with this? I think I may have reached the end of my rope with vaping and now maybe I'll do what my original intention was (quitting altogether after vaping for a short period of time).

Anyone have any tips on rebuilding coils with silica? I've watched a million Youtube videos and replicate the process perfectly, but the wraps end up being twice the size they should be and I've been unable to slide silica wicks into the coil like I do with cotton because even at 1mm it's too big to fit through the hole. Thanks for any help.  

Nichrome Melting In Triple Series Use

So I built a twisted build out of nichrome 60 wire and tried it on a triple series 18650 mechanical box and it melted the coils why won't nichrome work with any series boxes 8.4 volt melted 12.6 volt melted but I can build a .06 nichrome build and run it on my mech tube mod and it handles it I can build .15 and run it at 150 watts on my Sigelei and it handles it but bump up the voltage and it melts don't get it. I ran a .30 nichrome build at 260 watts on a SMY 260 and had no failure of the coil so I'm puzzled why a series mech box desemates the coils?  

Melted Insulator Cap On Plume Veil?

So no mine didn't melt haha but I was wondering what the best build would be for a plume so I could prevent this? I normally go with a .3 ohm build 24 gauge 7 wrap so yeah thanks guys!  

Just Got My Istick 50w And ... A Solid 10/10

Well , I aint even gonna say much this thing is better than any mech mod out there . You guys told me to start building higher ohm coils and i did , I build a 2.3 ohm coil . My 2*18650 box mod performed like .... with it , I had to hold the button for 2 - 4 secconds before draw and i still got minimal vapor . So i got the istick 50w , i set it to just half of its full potention , 25W and it is firing up the 2.3 ohm coil as soon as I press the button and I am getting extreme vapor production . Also size i knew it will be small , but i can not believe how small it actually is , absolutely amazing , build quality is also amazing . I should have moved from mech mods to VW a long time ago .  

Need Advice On My Next Mod

I'm new to rda's and getting into ☁ chasing, first of all. I've had my mutation x v3 for about 2 weeks now. I'm using a istick30w. I'm looking for something that will read lower ohm builds (exp: 0.2-0.4), and easily be able to push them(I'm thinking 75w+). Since I'm still new I think it'll need to regulated. Don't think I'm ready to go up to unregulated.
