eh? Do you even smok ciggies bro

I like them twins tho.

Dare I say, in squonking, 4 > 3. I still have a soft spot for "rabbit ears" style posts, but it was bitch not to oversquonk with those. Also, compared to 3, 4 is "restricted". Don't get me wrong, on fully open AH it's still a damn barn, but compared to 3 it's pretty restricted airflow.

yes it is. First of all, if it breaks, the manufacturer sells spare parts. Smooth bottom airflow with 8 available positions and (compared to zeus) superior machining.

can't compare, but those 2mm really do make a difference. The chamber is tiny (compareable to Taifun GTR's volume-wise), whole thing looks sorta like a nipple if you screw it onto something big.

Side effect, if you go over 40W it will get hella hot, I had a best luck with normal spaced claptons or even bare wire.

mini is loose RDL to tight RDL, I sorta mischaracterized it. It's small (20mm diameter) and cute, but you have to ditch the supplied drip tips, cause they are awful.

Eh, I wouldn't do that, but if vents are stable, then worst case scenario, you have to get good at throwing stuff far away. Also, I'd prefer something >0.8 ohm, cause then you kinda approximate the rating of a coil at least.

Sidenote, maybe try to buy a non-hybrid standard 510 tube? Something like NATO, FUFDA (good luck with this one though), phantom (from wotofo)

Have you tried MTL RDAs? Something like Dead Rabbit Mini, Etna, etc?

it checks out, since PG is very polar it will deposit easily in the lungs.

I think there are different rules in different countries.

Also, while it's true that second hand vapour doesn't have much nicotine (or VOCs PAHs etc), but what exactly do you think the vapour is made out of when it is exhaled? It's PG mostly. Same as fog machines. Granted, the amount is p. small one study [1] says it's anywhere from 37 ng to 2668 ng per L while cigarette smoke contains around 3 ng per L. Note, this is a study that bypases human lungs! It uses the fact that pods are activated by change in pressure.

Another study [2] tried to check for vapour content in exhaled air and finds that one puff is around 53000 to 173000 ng per L. Although this was when vapour was blown directly from lungs into 10L chamber. In case of 8 m3 "testing zone" they found <1 ng of PG, but they theoretise that it's because

>The fact that these compounds were not detectable during the 8 m3 emission test chamber measurement is assumed to be caused by the short usage (6 min per e-liquid) and sink effects of the chamber for the very polar 1,2-propanediol.

So maybe this guy was assuming you can vape in vapeshops in Your country and constant second-hand vapour, bla bla bla. You know what I mean.

correct, A1 doesn't color

box mods are big cause the batteries are standardized. It will use either 18650 or 21700. I know of some mechs that use 18350 (eclipse by ecigart comes to mind) and they can be as tiny as 2.2cm diameter, ~3,5cm length, but then you can say good bye to all the protection that comes with regulated mods.

That said, some mods are tiny. Take Converter by AM in 18350 mode. 2.3cm diameter, 7.4cm length. Or legendary SBS Qi 18350 from discodes (I can palm this thing!). Same with squonks, some are tiny. Pulse X, for example, is 8.26 x 5.48 x 2.7 cm, and since it squonks, you don't get a big RTA, but tiny nub to go with it. Also accepts 21700, which is nice. You could go smaller. I remember IOV BF 18650 was barely bigger than two 18650 side by side (also looked nice, though the "button" was prone to getting rather hot when you went 0.1 ohm).

Thing is, the above is not made for clouds. I mean, out of all of those, Pulse X will be able to safely handle some big boy RDAs. The rest? Made for MTL, maybe RDL, if you don't mind swapping batteries often.

Why is that? Cause all the pods use mesh coils which are super easy to heat up and perform well on simple one or two note flavours and they use lipo batteries that are rather square, non-replaceable and can handle a lot more abuse than good ol Li-ions.

underagew

afaik, clapton contributes nothing to ohm-wise. Since you have to heat the wrap with heat given off the primary, I'd say the wrap is pretty thin. Extreme example, 26/40 A1.

Bare wire needs, 5.2 J to get to 210C. The wrap need 2.97 J. This is per coil. With 40W you are pumping 40 J per second. So, if my understanding is correct, bare wire needs 0.2 s to heat up, while clapton needs 0.4 s. Of course all of this happens WITHOUT the liquid.

precisely

pull it out, soldier other lipo, boom. done

SteamEngine shows around ~6V, with Heat Capacity around 103,4 mJ/K. Not gonna lie, had to tweak wrap spacing a fair bit and use ID of 4 mm.

First of all, sounds like not enough cotton and not enough power. Not enough cotton cause it's burning, though aliens can easily soak around 1s of liquid by themselves. Tastes muted cause I'd run it at 70-90W.

Also, this wrap will be hard to heat up and cool down.

ah, I intuitively understood the old color scheme as "the redder, the faster the coil will go red on dry burn". I get it now.

is the heat flux icon supposed to be blue with 500 mW/mm^2?

eh, will do. just lower your battery life a shitload, maybe boom if this device is old enough

You are thinking about IBM's era thinkpads. I still have T20 somewhere. It still works, I had to replace the disc though.

not being mass produced. I've seen atties that cost >170$.

I bought high end mech mod with stabwood for 2 bottles of vodka, because I knew a guy (he is dead btw) who produced it. Some atties I own don't even show up in Google, because they were produced by some guy who knew a guy who had a mill and discussed the entire project on a forum, so it will be suited for potential buyers (with customisation, mine has singular 0.8mm AH and a brass pin, also welded driptip).

This is high end.

nowadays only difference between high end and "low" end is willingness to repair and/or provide spare parts. Take atties from SmokerStore or mods from Dicodes (when it was active).

ah, shags. In my country it is considered low quality tabacco.

I know some aromas that are very harsh (INW US Light Mix comes to mind, it's pure "ashtray") or have "weird" notes (wine barrel for example), but most bacco aromas use pastries or nuts to be less harsh.

Sadly, I do not know those premixes you've mentioned, so I can't compare really.
