New Mod's Ohm Keep Bouncing Around.

So my Smok Thallo keeps bouncing anywhere from 0.18 ohm to 0.25 ohm most of the time. It's not leaking, it doesn't have a shortage, and it's new. It is using a RPM2 Mesh Coil, rated at 0.16 ohm. I've changed out Coils three times and it is still the same. I've tried different e-juice, ranging from 3 to 6 to 12 nicotine levels and it is still the same.

Charging My Smok Thallo

I'm not battery expert so I am not sure how everything works, but here are my concerns.

My Smok Thallo can charge at a 1.2A current but it is a USB-C, why include a USB-C if 5V/1.2A can charge as quickly with a Micro USB? I think.

So here is the question, can I charge my Smok Thallo with a 2.1A if I use the wire that came with the kit? It's hard finding a solid power bank with 5V/1A only. I cannot remove the battery, it has a built-in 3000mAH one.

Thanks!  

Mesh Vs Coil

Hi I've been in the vaping industry for years now and have had many tanks over the years both mesh and normal coil, for me mesh was amazing at flavour and for more cooler vape lovers, however I found that normal coils provided more cloud and less juice consumption with some tanks and were able to achieve the same amount of flavour as mesh with the right build. But I still curious as too how many people prefer mesh over normal coils and vice versa and why ?  

Diy Salt Juices And Diy Coils

So I've got a bit of a convoluted question. I've been vaping for about 8 years and followed most of the trends. Spent a fair amount of time in deep subohm territory with freebase juice, low nic levels, lots of thick flavorful clouds. Over the last two years I've gravitated towards the salt juices with the tiny mods and PIP coils. The cost of replacement coils is getting annoying when combined with the cost of salt nicotine juices in comparison to the freebase bottles I used to buy. To address this I've tried building my own high ohm coils on the SMOK Rpm rebuildable head. Results have been less than satisfactory.

For what ever reason, even when I can block the airflow and build a high ohm coil..the flavors in salt nicotine always taste awful, nothing like what they taste like in the rpm 1.0 coil. As near as I can tell, the only reason I can think of is the different style of wicks..inner cool wick for a DIY vrs outer wick for the smok prebuilts.

This got me thinking of building a juice that's a bit heavier and smoother with a higher vg content and flavor content to work in a DIY coil (prob something simple like a single 26-28 gauge spaced wrap) but still pack some of the nic punch (sans throat hit) as a salt based juice..and will still work in a pod device. I'm thinking it would probably need to be in the 12-15mg nic range to get a similar buzz as the 25-35mg nice I usually vape at low power.

Is this even feasible..or are the flavors and thickness of the old style free base juices incompatible with salt based nicotine? A 40pg/60vg juice with a 12-15mg salt nic level that will work on a .8 single coil at 10-15 watts or so I think. And not taste awful.

In my state it's becoming problematic to source flavors other then basic tobacco.. so it might be time to go strictly DIY with a pod type device.

Thoughts?  

Nicotine Strength For Sub-ohm Vaping

Hi I have a question about nicotine strength in my juice for sub-ohm vaping: I've only started vaping my tfv12 prince smok tank 4 days ago, so total newbie- used to do only mtl before that. I'm currently using Q4 coils, 0.4 ohm, vaping at 50-60 Watts: quite happy with a cooler vape, I tried them at 70-90 but slightly too warm for me, maybe in the future it will change.
Majority of the sites and youtube videos that I came across where sub-ohm vaping was discussed said that the maximum nicotine strength used when sub-ohm vaping should be 6mg/ml. So I've mixed a few juices, 70/30 vg/pg, ranging from 3-6mg nic. I noticed that I'm chain-vaping with very little nicotine hit. But i kept nicotine cravings sattisfied with my mtl device used simultanously.
Today however, I wanted to check something. I've mixed some 65/35 VG/PG liquid for my gf's smok nord pod a few days ago, with nicotine at approx. 11.5mg/ml, so I popped it into my prince tank to try it. Expected to choke on it but no- it vapes great at 60 Watts, tastes good (carnival sherbet concentrate + a little bit of strawberry cream concentrate added) nicotine hit: I can feel it, but unless I go crazy it doesn't make me nic sick.

Is this normal? Why do people recommend going max 6mg nic for sub-ohm vaping? Is it because they aren't recent ex-smokers or they never were smokers, and just use low nic liquids at their stage of vaping? Thanks  

Juice Consumption

I am vaping very airy mtl but lately a lot restricted direct lung on a hellvape md with a small Clapton coil 30/40 7wraps or something ...at 23watts and with a full tank 4ml I get like 100puffs if I do direct lung like 3-4 seconds each puff...

Ok I know depends the time of Puffs and how much someone vapes and all that but I was wondering....

I was thinking to buy a zeus x rta and get also the mesh deck to have both...
The thing is I wonder since my hellvape eats Soo fast the juice ....
How will zeus with dual coil be...or the mesh with 4ml tank???

Anyone using it and how many times u refill per day hahaha must be a lot isn't it??
Maybe I should buy another rta with larger capacity??? XD  

Mesh Upgrade From Big Baby/x Baby User

So I've been vaping for 2-3 years now. Mainly on a Big Baby Beast and Baby Beast. When the X Baby came out I got one but stayed with the big baby. X Baby motivated me that vaping wasn't gonna get much better than what we already had. Now after 6-9 months out of the loop, I see mesh is in. My local supply doesn't even carry X Baby coils anymore. So since I've been using the same 2 tanks for over 2 years, well it's time. I just want something better than what 2017 had to offer. I have rebuilt coils in the RTA for the Big baby. I can build basic coils. I want easy. I'm too busy to do anything past a simple mesh RTA or a new mesh sub ohm replaceable cool setup.

I like DL Vapes in the 30-50 watt range. With the Smoke stuff I've never went over 50 watts and I'm happy with that or I would need a new mod.

It would be nice to get a recommendations that the typical local supply would carry coils for  

Its Time To Upgrade The Pipe

Hi all,
I have used this pipe for a long time: 5pc 1.8ml Vision V.Tox BBC Bottom Coil Changeable Tank Cartomizer
it is leaking from time to time and taste burned after about a week use.

I use this juice: 30ml Dekang E-Liquid E-Juice VG Based with 21 flavor, DeKang eLiquids
DK-4.
Can anybody recommend a new ecig for me that is not leaking, not too expensive, and just work well? I did not follow the ecig evolution this last years


If anybody have any opinions about that ejuice i use please share. (Quality?/bad for health?)



Thanks  

Basic Newbie Questions

Folks, I apologize for the newbie questions but trust me, I've spent a lot of time reading and still have some confusion - partly because I find contradictory information everywhere. I hate when people come on forums asking questions before doing their research but I've tried.

While I've been vaping for over a year, it's been with a Juul. (3rd party pods) My flavored pod horde is about to be exhausted so here I am.

What I'm looking for is something comparable to what my Juul with 3% pods gave me - smoothness (I do NOT want a harsh throat feel like many seem to be after), availability of nice flavors, no need for a lot of nicotine, no need for 'clouds'. I was using the 3% not really because of the lower nicotine but because it wasn't as harsh as the 5-6% pods.

I guess my question is what type juice and coil resistance should I be looking for? I purchased a Smok NFix and like the device but I seem to be getting a tad bit of juice in my mouth regardless of what wattage I set it to. (I've tried multiple .8 Ohm coils and 3mg juice labeled for "subohm" use) I also seem to be getting a lot more nicotine than I'm used to.

I've also tried a Novo 2 and occasionally get that juice in my mouth but not nearly as often. I also seem to be getting a lot more nicotine than I'm used to.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

Another thing I'm confused about is the wide range of nicotine strengths - 3% on up to 55+%? I must be missing something because the 3% seems to be killing me, again I must be doing something wrong.

Suggestions for what I should be looking at to find something comparable to the 3% Juul?

Smok Stick M17 Replacement?

I've been using Smok Stick M17 pen for years. They usually cost me $18 each. However, they have been discontinued.

I would get a pack of 5 coils (0.6) for $8-$12 and "HEAVY" vape and a coil would last me 7-10 days on average. I would buy 2 pens at a time and they would last several months before they would no longer charge anymore.

I'm down to one pen still working and two coils. I can still get coils but pretty sure the pen is going to fail soon.

Has anyone been in the same situation and know of a good replacement? My main concern is finding something with a similar coil cost and how long they last.  

Cotton In Coil Not Absorbing Juice

I have a smok pen 22, I have been using smoozie Maui Waui e liquid. I have to either wait a while for the juice to soak every few long hits or I have to drop some juice down the top. I tried loosening the cap different amounts it doesn't seem to help, some people said it would. I'm not sure if I need to use different E-liquid like a clear one or what, but I hate having to wait in between hits especially if I already filled the vape with juice. I tried priming the coil when I first got it there was no good there.
