New to rtas and using hellvape md I use 6wraps ss 28ga wire and cotton bacon prime and the thing is my vape makes popping sound all the time....my zpide tank used to pop also but didn't sound so loud I guess cause the rta has the chamber but I was wondering is that normal thing??? I tried wick veeeery tight like I didn't care if I get dry hit just to see if the popping would stop but didn't ...
I tried to go to lower wattage but then I feel like the juice boils and makes me scared I will get flooded coil and higher wattage don't help...do u guys get popping sounds when u vape ? Is it normal? Am I doing something wrong that I can't realise???? XD
I just bought new 1,2 ohm replacement coils to replace the original 1.5 ohm coils in my protank 3 / i-stick 50w. I also changed to new e-juice (cherry 50/50 18mg from smoktech). Now it pops really bad when set at 3,7 volts, where it was set previously using mt baker strawberry / bannana 50/50 18mg. It even pops some at lower voltage settings down to ~ 2.8 volts, but I don't get a very strong vape at that setting. Is this because of the different juice or because of the lower ohm coil? Is this the sound of my wick getting fried or what? If so, what is the solution to stop the popping while also get a strong vape?
Having a hard time getting my Dead Rabbit rda to stop popping and sputtering. I’m using it on a VT inbox. So far the only thing that’s helped is dropping the power down, but then I lose the flavor. I’ve got two setups and different wattages on both. One is 0.5 ohms at 30W and the other is 0.3 ohms at 50W. Ideas would help. I really enjoy the higher limits of my coils but get tired of the juice spitting in my face.
So, like everyone else, I have my preferred juice (extremely complex DIY with all NET flavors) and my preferred all day driver (Subtank Nano and an Ego One 1100 mah battery). It's performed GREAT. I use prebuilt OCC coils and I rebuild those coils, too. Most of the time, they work just like they do with any other rig... they hiss (like all atomizers) and pop and crackle... part of the nature of sub ohm vaping (I use the 0.5 ohm heads, btw).
Once in a while, the stars align and the vaping gods smile down, and NO popping. I have to actually fire the device for a while to make sure it works. The telltale hiss is there, just no popping. It's happened with prebuilt coils and coils that I've rebuilt. Not sure what the deal is, but the vape is SOOOOO much better.... flavor seems improved too, but it might be mental.
Whatever the case, thank you, vaping gods, stars, fates, or whatever. That occasional perfect coil is nice.
Hello.
So I think i kind like a cooler vape been getting some heavy lung feeling lately been vaping a 1.2 ohm single coil 28 g kanthal
cotton wick on kayfun clone v4 Tobecco, i would like to try like maybe 1.8 or a 2.0 ohm coil or is the kayfun v4 really better for
lower ohm coils I keep reading where the kayfuns sweet spot is like 1.2 - 1.5 i did lower my wattage from 14 to 12 but i like to seem some clouds more of a flavor chaser than a cloud person though
so i am just wondering if anyone has tried a kayfun around 2.0 ohms and what the vape was like
thank you
My English not good but hope u guys understand....
I have question...I am gonna talk about rtas....soooo we got the air flow part of the tank when is the coil and that we suck air through it...and there is the juice part where holds the juice....and thing that seal the 2 spaces is the cotton....the juice reaches to the coil throught this capillary action I guess...I was thinking tho while we suck don't we create also vacuum and draw more juice if the airflow can't keep up with our draw?? And if that's correct then...this space that holds the juice should be sealed good so that it can't draw air lets say for example from the top fill cap and then push more juice into the coil cause it will have the atmospheric pressure?? Or maybe it's the opposite and the vacuum we create while we puff should get lose over time while we don't vape??? I am trying to get more understanding about how stuff works hope makes sense and someone can correct my mistakes and make things clear for me
Hi, despite all the info on the internet these days, I ve been unable to find an answer to what is the life use of a wire on a rta coil (not the cotton or liquids) before it gets exhausted and become a bad element to health, maybe to the point of releasing metal particles that could go into the lungs... I know this is highly relative and depends on what kind of wire, liquids and vaping frecuency, but if I give you a straight case, maybe I ll make a good relation between other materials and their durability. It happened that during 2020, with the pandemic on full first impact, importations were very slow and in some cases, closed for long periods of time, I was trying to get some imported wires but I didn't have enough luck to find those I needed, just very thin wire for mtl equipment, which I didn't have. All was sold out from vaping websites... I ve managed to get a Zeus X rta and with it, the included premade coils (I think these are Nichrome)... Thing is, I used the same (and only) metal coil for almost 6 months, obviously replacing the cotton when needed (I had all the other materials, bags of cotton Bacon, tools, fresh liquids, etc), the liquid I ve been using is Don Juan sweet tobbaco and reserve, from King Crest. In those six moths I didn't vape all days or weeks, since finding or importing liquids were also a problem, so confinement and the lack of products, push me to smoke again, sadly, but I didn't give up and I start to build again the coil meanwhile the purchases arrive from other countries. The metal coil doesn't seems to be exhaust in plain view, it gets datk or black, as normally should be after several days of use and when tasting a bit burnt, but once I clean up with a brush, water and some short dry burning when building again, it gets back its grey metal color, not the same shine as a new one, but close. My vaping frequency was sometimes in chain, due to anxiety, but not all day or days and I was careful to rebuilt often. Mods are one Aegis X and one Smok P3, wattage I use is between 40 and 60 because even if the coils can be auto detected and suggestion is 75w, this is always overrated and burning taste triggers in 3 days. Only thing I did notice was sort of a metal taste for a period of time, that after went away and never got back. If someone wants to drop an answer, be welcome please, thank you all...
Hey guys. I've been into vaping since 2009 originally, but really got into it around 2013. From 2013 to 2015 alone, I've seen a tremendous change in the community. Some of this change is extremely positive. For instance, the race to create better technology and new types of devices. From that race has come many awesome companies, with new devices, and new types of devices popping up literally overnight.
Competition is a GOOD thing, for the consumer.
However, I am wondering about the wattage race. The companies who make bats competing to make a higher wattage device. I remember when the DNA20 first came out. I remember thinking, that's awesome, but will anyone ever need 20 watts? Then the dna30 came out. It wasn't long after, that we saw our first 50watt box mod. When a 100watt box mod came out, I thought they were NUTS. Surely no one would EVER need 100watts.
Now, we have what? 150watt devices. 200watt devices. Where does it stop?
At some point, the higher wattages won't keep equaling better quality vape. In fact, I think we already reached that point a while back. I would say 100watts would be a reasonable cut off point, but then again, who am I to say?
At what point does vaping cease to be a smoking alternative, and become a hobby? At what point does vaping cease to be a hobby, and become a SPORT?
I get it......as with any technology ,there will always be a small group within the community that wishes to take things to the extreme. These are the people who take vaping from a simple hobby, to literally a "sport".
For me, vaping isn't a sport. It is a hobby. I don't see the appeal of vaping as a sport, but I have no desire to limit other people's imaginations, so long as they are careful, safe, and don't expose themselves or others to unnecessary harm.
I will say this so. For those of us who vape as a hobby. What does higher wattages do for you? I have a Sigelei 100watt box mod.....and I run kayfuns, RBAs, an Atlantis, and an arctic on it. Even running at my arctic at 0.2ohms , I never need to go past 50watts.
Also, I don't even buy 0.2 ohm coils anymore. For me personally, I find flavor to really come out at HIGHER ohms than that. I find the BEST flavor comes in at 0.5-1ohm. So what is the point of going past that? Just to increase the amount of vapor?
I'm just trying to understand why the vape community is going the way its going. What is the fascination with higher wattages outside of the tiny SPORT vaping sub-group?
okay, so i had a problem yesterday where i would keep getting juice popping up on the draw, that problem is solved, however, now on only the second day of light use, on the 1.2 ohm coil that came with the tank i am getting a pretty harsh smokey taste. Its not overwhelming like it is when a coil is burnt out, just an unpleasant taste. I did 4 drops of liquid on the coil before using, everything is screwed in tight. Do i need maybe a couple more drops on the coil?
FYI: using an istick 30w burning at about 14.5-15w
Hey guys,
Just wanna drop in and say I ordered a Lemo2 to try my hand at rebuilding. It come with a coil and wick at .5ohm already in place. This thing really works awesome... tons of flavor and vapor and can even MtL hit if I dial down the air almost all the way. I do have two hopefully easy questions I'm sure someone knows the answer to...
How high of wattage can you push these or any handmade coil to? Also when you wick a new one, since it doesn't come with much info on it, how do you know if you're putting too much cotton in, and is there a trick to get the cotton right where it needs to be in that little wicking channel from the tank to where the coil is so the juice gets absorbed quickly and properly but without flooding it?
TIA and I know I'm know pro sub-ohmer by any means lol but for someone thinking about one this tank really works awesome.
Was watching a movie, pretty into it, wanted a vape so I grabbed my mod and had a vape. Well,I had just rebuilt my dripper,a twisted 28 ni200 w/10 wraps (so a big ol coil lol) and had been checking it as I vaped for hot spots or anything else not awesome. Apparently I didn't put the top cap back on after the last inspection, so when I grabbed my mod and took a vape, I was vaping my upper lip! Sizzling sound and all! I've got a perfect coil-sized mark on my lip right now lol. It's always nice to be reminded that I'm no genius lol. It doesn't hurt and is in no way a "real" injury.
Anybody else ever do this? Anybody willing to admit it or anything like it?
