Wattage is all preference with rebuildables as long as you dont go over the amp limits on your batteries. I vape at 30w on a .6ohm coil

With a VV mod doesn't it regulate it so you can go over the amp limits?

If its a built in battery yeah if it takes an 18650 or some other type of replaceable battery you still need to watch your amperage. The sigelei 150w recomends 2 vtc4 30 amp batteries and you can vape down to a .15 ohm build as long as you know you wattage limits and play around with ohms law

Ok I'm using my wife's IPV mini usable up to 30 watts and a .5 coil... the battery is an 18650 panasonic (ncr18650pf) I believe it's a 10 amp battery

Should be ok. At 30w a .5 ohm coil will draw 7.7 amps

Ok I have yet another question...how accurate are these VV mods at reading resistance...when I meter out my coil with my multimeter it reads .9 every time I fire it on the mod the reading fluctuates from .9 to 2.9 and jumps all over. Should I just ignore what the mod reads out?

Usually if the resistance jumps like the its a loose connection to the coil. I used to have that problem till i switched all my rdas to grub nuts

I didn't read back, so I don't know what you have (and cause of that I give stupid suggestion)but some VW mods cannot manage the resistance under 1 ohm. If in your case you're sure cannot be that,( and I gave stupid suggestion..), just ignore me :rolleyes:

I may have to do that (I assume you are talking about set screws correct?), I ruined my first set of coils because I tightened the screws too much and they cut the kanthol, so the second attempt I did hand tight then less than a quarter turn, but they still seemed a little loose to me, even when I snug them back down it seems like they work their way loose again.

Yeah they look like a screw without a head and you use an allen key to tighten and loosen them. Once they're tight they dont back off

Guess I need to start googling to learn more about other "tank" options. LoL

haha yup, I started with a "starter kit" then moved up to a pro tank with a spinner battery, then saw a VV mod so got that with an Iclear 30s tank, now im using the IPV mini and dripping. Should have just started off with the current setup!

Yeah wish I would have got the Sigelie from the jump.
This thing will fire anything I put on it .1 to 3.0 ohms.

Right now I am loving my 2 Nautilus tanks. Went back and got the full size saturday.

Do you know what size the screws are? They look like they could be 440s but I figured they may be metric?

Nice....I might pick up the crest cap for my igo....on a side note how long do coils generally last and how often do you switch out your wick?

My tugboat should be here this weekend.
Want to start playing with the RDAs just to tinker :oops:

Coils last as long as you want them to wicks on the other hand i change out every couple days. After you take the wick out just fire the coil and it burns off all the gunk that builds up.. this is almost as addicting as reptiles i have a mutation x v2 that should be here sometime this weekend or monday

I'm running a tugboat too. Actually vaping it now :) I'm running a parallel 28 gauge build now. Makes awesome flavor!

This week, I picked up a Zen 50 mod with an Atlantis tank. Finally, I can get decent clouds on the go, without dripping. This has become my new driving mod... :gj:

I also change my wicks out every 2-3 days. I use a soft bristle toothbrush, dipped in water to brush off the coils and fire them to dry. I normally will change my coils when either, I can no longer get them to fire together, or one just doesn't burn as hot as the other one. Normally, I will average about 10-14 days on a set of coils, depending on how much I am using it.

haha I guess I am in trouble. I have a scrap wood pile in my backyard that I just add to just in case I may need a piece (The wife hates it)

Everytime I look at this thread, my head starts hurting by the time I'm done reading. caught up on the last 3 pages though. I need a hands on 'manual', there are things I'm reading and they just aren't "clicking" for me. I think what it is, there is so much and I don't know what/how to compare the base stuff with the high end stuff to what I want/need. I should probably hit the one store I hit a few weeks ago and pick their brains more. I found another store near me where the owner/sales chick is apparently knowledgable. Sometime this week I'll head over there and check things out.


Love the discussion and info though. :gj: :)

Im learning too..... Problem is my OCD kicks in and I obsess on things. :rofl:

Same here!

I'll help as much as I can. If i could do a video conference it would be easier, lol. Lots of typing. Usually i can teach about all aspects of vaping in about 10 minutes to new customers that come in my store. I've gotten good at making it understandable too. I'll help any way i can

After re reading my last post it seemed a little off. I apologize, while i was writing the reply i had customers come in and i hit submit without proof reading.

What I was trying to get at is that it is alot to typing to explain everything at once. it is So much easier to explain face to face. Not really trying to set up a video conference :)

That being said, there are a ton of YouTube videos that do a good job too.

Rip tripper on youtube can teach you alot

Ty for the info guys. I'll be buying something soon.

Who says that Friday the 13th is bad luck? My vape mail arrived yesterday, 2 Mods and 3 RDA's. I got a Tugboat hybrid, and a matte black Colonial mod. I put a Doge V2 Competition RDA on the Tugboat, and a Diablo Mephisto on the Colonial. I also picked up a Diablo Haze RDA for my Caravelo.

For those of you who do your own builds, what type of coils do you prefer? I generally stay with the more basic coils, so as not to over-run the max discharge capacity of my batteries (18650 type, 2100-2500 mah). For my four post RDA's I use a two parallel coil set-up, 25 ga. Kanthal. And, for my three post RDA's, I use a single, parallel or twisted coil, 22 ga. Kanthal. I normally shoot for .4-.2 ohms. These coils give me 18-19 amps continuous discharge at 3.7 volts, which keeps me well under the max capacity of the batteries.

For those who are new to coil building or need help figuring out how big, or how many wraps to use, there is an app for that. Its called the Vaper's Toolbox. I also have an Ohm's Law Calculator downloaded on my phone.


P.S. I need to win the lottery. I just saw a Caravelo mod for $4500. It's made of solid Silver.

OK, finally got something.

Ordered 2 Kanger starter kits from Mr. Craigaria. The kits with the 2 vaporizers in them. Ordered them Tuesday, they shipped Wednesday, got them Friday. One is pink for the gf, the other is silver/grey. Charged them Friday night and have been vaping since lunchtime Saturday. Very happy with the product and to be "smoking" something indoors out of the cold. Gf has yet to try but I think she'll be happy with hers.

At this point I don't see myself becoming a mod addict as I'm happy with what the starter kit does for me. However, I may become an e-juice taster addict. I'll have rack with 30 flavors on it. Yesterday I was sucking on cinnimon roll, today I have sweet cream in the 2nd tank. Got them off a friend of mine who didn't like them. They are a 50/50 mix with some nicotine in them, I'll be getting 100% vg soon as it seems I may be allergic to the nicotine. I've been sneezing and have had a running nose since I started it up yesterday and again this morning. We'll see though.

Very happy thus far. Ty for all the info and advice guys. :)

heh, I'm just glad to be 'smoking' something. I want more flavors though and without the nicotine. Definitely need to drop the nicotine out of my juice.

The gf tried hers yesterday and so far she thinks it'll do the job for her to quit smoking. In the least it will assist her, plus she doesn't have to go outside to do so. She was vaping less than I was yesterday. I was puffing away all day. :)

I started with the ego style batteries with evod tanks. Then i went to an mvp 2.0 then i turned to the dark side and bought my first mech mod and rda and never looked back now im stuck on sub ohming and my box mods. You get better flavor with rdas and sub tanks then you do with ego style batteries and other tanks.

Just put root beer float in a T3S tank. The clouds are bigger and my eyes popped a lot. :gush: I think someone is trying to get me into modding. :glares at Cragaria: The gf pointed out that she hasn't had a cigarette or a puff on her rig at all today while I've been puffing away on my Kanger. I may have a "problem".... ;)

It won't be long, sounds like you are headed down the path :)
The hot setup we have been selling alot of lately is the 50 watt istick with a Kanger sub tank mini. It does it all and the istick is 4400 mah.

Ive herd good things about the ego one looks like a nice little set up
