My quest for a warmer vape..dont larf!! lol

[robby]

I love tobacco flavours but with a lot of atties, Dream, Iclear30, Protank etc the vape is just not warm enough for me so I had a go at trying to improve the temperature on my trusty Phoenix.

First, double coil the Phoenix. Get a plastic straw and force it down a plastic driptip. Cut the straw at the atty end so that it just sits above where the coils are and trim the other end to your preference. 

The fact that you have to distort the straw when pulling it through the drip tip is a plus. It means that you arent going to lose heat through the drip tip and cool the vape down because the straw and drip tip are mostly not touching each other so you have an airgap (heat insulation)

It definitely gives you a warmer vape and in my opinion improves the flavour as well. You wouldnt drink a cold cup tea would you? lol.


The vapour production from the double coiled Phoenix (1.3 ohm) is
just incredible at 10 watts or above on the Vamo.

Okay, you can start laughing now hehe

ooooooooo, looks a bit rude

Give it a go, just be careful where you cut the straw on the inside, you really dont want it touching the coils for obvious reasons.

Could you not use a plastic drip tip?

I do, but this works a lot better, definitely warmer

I will have an ounce of what you have in that thing please lol.

hahaha Neil from Valley Vapes, after two hours vaping with this, I can honestly say this is now the best vape I have had since I started vaping, and it cost me £4 and a drinking straw  The plastic that the straw is made of is very thin, hardly losing any temperature from the vapour, I love it, tobacco flavours are just great in it

hey if it works mate and your happy go for it.Mankind would have got nowhere without pioneers we would still be scrabbling round in the dirt.

It is a very simple quick thing to try and for the cost of a drinking straw, lovin it!!!! Must try some sweeter flavours in it as well.

Got some raspberry/coconut in it now from @sadie22, and it truly has never tasted better to me , like a warm dessert

pre heat the air you are drawing in - a hoover hose to the oven could work

Oh ye of little faith lololol

[Neil from Valley Vapes]

Dont push it too far the straw will melt lol.

I'm not sure if this is genius or crazy but as long as you are happy Robby that's all that matters

[oxo]

Robby can you gauge how much heat is going up the straw from a difference in how much the steel in your Phoenix heats up ?
I know my Igo L heats up quite a bit, never thought of adding a plastic liner.
