Warning! Don't Try Squonking

Herro!

So, I always used to use mech mods from about 6 months to a year and a half into vaping. For the last 6 months I've been on regulated (iStick 30W and 50W).

When I switched to regulated I retired my mech mods and 18650 batteries to the closet. I made sure they were all around 50% charged because I heard from someone on here that was the best condition to leave them.

Well recently I've had this curiosity to try them again, only for at home use, mainly for the novelty of it.

So, my question is, what will I have to do to revive these batteries? Are they safe to just throw back on the charger and use when fully charged? Or are they not safe to use?

Batteries: 4 Sony VTC 4's (all were acquired about a month before I stopped using mechs), 2 XTAR (Sony) VTC 4's (about a year old now) , 2 MXJO 2500mah (20A LG's) (about a year old now).

Let me know! Thank you!

Just got back from my local vape shop, i still ask questions 6 months into vaping. Not too mention they have various gear you can try out. So was curious what various box mods vape like compared to my Vamo 5 Nautilus/ Alantis sub ohm CF sub setups. Also got a ZNA 50 watt APV mod which i don't use much as it does drain the batteries really fast. I tend to use the ZNA 50 when my CF is on charge. I been vaping a lot on my Nautilus Vamo 5 set up a lot recently due to it being a lot kinder on my juice. Sub ohm vaping does love drinking juice like anything.

So my visit to the vape shop as made me curious about box mods in general as there some nice small compact ones out there. Was looking at box mods that can go up to 80 watts.

If and when i take the plunge as i'm just rolling it around in my mind at the moment. I'm not keen on the dripper's tanks so i would most be thinking about a box mod that i could attach a sub ohm tank on and one you could charge on it's own.


Any recommendations anyone ?

PS i love the new look of the forums! a major improvement.  

I think I know what it is...a mod with a build in e juice bottle, right? How do the atomizers with with those?  

OK, so I am an old fart who has depended on the ECF entirely (REOVille, Saloon, several e-liquid threads), and now I am thinking of swinging by the local vape shops to talk hardware.
Obviously, Kayfun (clones) will be discussed. Probably going to bring up Vapefly and Vandy Vape for MTL attachments. Will undoubtably take several bottom feed mods as well.
What else should crusty old farts who have been vaping longer than their store has existed try to convince the vape shop owner (manager) they should at least look into ?
Like it or not, they local B&M's just became out main source for hardware.  

Hi,

Finally after smoking for 20 years like 40 cigarettes a day, I quit 18 months ago, kudos to this forum, they helped me a lot with vaping equipment and E -liquid deals.

for the past few months, I am noticing bleeding when I brush my tooth, is this normal and also I am finding gaps between my teeth  

So I've been vaping now for almost 5 months. I own 4 different regulated mods, many sub ohm tanks and a few rda's. I'm wanting to pick up a mech mod, but not sure which would be better. I'm pretty much looking at either the nemesis clone or the stingray x clone. Any thoughts on which is better, or any other mechs that I may want to look into?  

I'm a bit lazy with my re-wicking. Especially RTAs. Usually leave it until it's a bit past due.

I'd be interested to know how many of you have a timetable for changing wicks or do you just base it on flavour or maybe the number of refills of the tank or squonk bottle?

Do you do it in batches of attys or one at a time when needed?  

How can this work? Lets say your regulated mod shuts down due to low battery. No problem they say it has passthru function so you hook up your usb cable to a 1 amp wall wart and continue to vape at 30 watts or so?
I consider the passthru statements on those mods to be crapola.  

It's often been said to test a new coil build on a regulated mod before using it in a mech mod. Just for fun, I tested a new build on multiple platforms to see how consistent they a

These are AVS stainless steel premade quad core clapton 30x4/40 3.5 7/6
Two coils in a Dead Rabbit V2 RDA

Coil Master Tester 0.17
Uwell Crown mod 0.19
Wismec mod 0.18
Geek Vape Aegis 0.18
Vapresso Luxe 0.18

Closer than I would have thought!

Incidentally, the old coils were in there for 8 months, although this unit is in rotation, so maybe a months worth of actual use.

Also, the top cap was just about impossible to remove from the tube. I had to insert a chap stick into it and slam it on the desk for it to come off.  

Hi all, it's been 5 months I quit smoking and switched to vaping, I want to thank you all for helping with my questions during my early days and suggesting me a good kit. Here is how I feel now.

As we are hearing lot of vaping related sickness issues I was in a dilemma for last 2 months if this is really gonna hurt me or I am fine. I get small pain on left front rib cage side when I vape recently. I am not sure if I am over thinking about news and that's causing me doubts.

And also i used to sleep fine for first 4 months of vaping, for last 1 month I did not get a good sound sleep. Is this anything to do with vaping or am I stressed about some job/other issues.

As always thanks for your suggestions.
