@cra1g - the Russian 91% is a pukka RBA made by Svoemesto, a Russian company. It's based on the Kayfun Lite, another SVM attie, and it has an airflow built into the base like its bigdiseaser the Kayfun 3.1.
Of course the Fasttech one is a clone, but a very good one, although I've never vaped the real deal so I'm surmising here!
We are a very community minded forum, that is true. It amazes me just how generous people are, and as you say how very helpful. It's areal pleasure to be amongst such nice folk, unlike some fora I visit occasionally!

Very interesting chykensa i have to admit i have been looking at all of them ever since i first heard of FT but never really had a good understanding of what they were up until recently, FT site is deadly when you have the diesese that i have called shiney vape gear addiction lol

Just out of interest i dont suppose you sub ohm a rba is it just drippers when your armed with a mech? 
Thanks for the info Andy

I have gone as low as 0.5 ohms in my kfl v2 from m-vapes but I prefer it around 1.2 ohms.
I do use Sony vtc5 in my mech mods that I sub ohm on.
Would I bother going lower probably not.
0.6 ohm duel coil on my dripper nearly killed me toooooo much heat in the Vape and the nic hit was daft. I was using 18 mg but I was still learning about how low ohms and duel coil = need less nic as its gets a bit evil lol.
Lesson learned with a very dizzy head .

Kicks are more so you can use variable voltage on a mech a d safety wise they will cut out if a short is detected.
A Vape safe v2 fuse will cut out if a short is present and is resettable I believe.

Little one is well many thanks she's looking forward to holiday.
Just finished the last if the packing.
Off for a week in morning only 100 miles away but its a break for little one.heading to perranporth.
How's use little lass?

Thanks for the info yeh think i stumbled over a kick today whilst browsing tinternet, little un is ok today thanks now and again her teeth give us all a days hol lol.

Keep in touch if ye can and enjoy ! !

Mmm yeh i see where your coming from igual but its saves on her nic base lol, at this moment in time I'm fairly happy with micro coils as they seem to out perform duel Taylor made ones IMHO? Not sure why I think that maybe its not the coil but the RDA that's better ? Gonna hit the sack mate done in now feels like my brain has been sub ohmed lol, have a good holiday fella?

Yes, in that multiple coils = resistors wired in parallel. That's how people obtain sub ohm resistance using dual or quad coil builds, especially a quad coil, with 4 positive posts the you could set up 4 1.4 ohm coils and end up with 1.4 /4 = 0.35 ohms. I never do a quad coil and never go below 0.5 ohms personally for battery reasons though, but that's just me.

i was scratching my head on that one today davetherayon as i couldnt find a chart regarding sub ohm coils (regarding wraps etc) so i presume you would have to at the very least duel coil in order to sub ohm then? Its all very interesting to me and been reading some very good articles today regarding battery safety and ohms law (had to go over the latter a few times till it registered) but i keep asking myself is it all worth the extra effort and risk??? i know leo defo thinks it is just not sure im ready ha ha

Thanks again for the info

Mechs can be intimidating, but honestly, as long as you do your homework, and are sensible, there is nothing to worry about. Plus the vape is worth the effort imo.

Your too kind leo been reading up today (batt safety/ohms law) etc its all very interesting at the very least I didn't realise there was so much to read about a 650 lol especially when sub ohming ?

Im hoping the vamo is ok tbh as i was hoping for a little time with that and micro coiling for a bit before poss moving upto a mech? But know where to go first when i do. Seems like everytime i get somthing either equipment or even a concentrate its only days before i think crap i should have got that now ha. Just got a quick question if you dont mind leo, are those fuses i read about today (i think there called a kick) worth investing in for anyone who has or is thinking about a mech? I know i would for one feel much safer using a mech if one was fitted??

Cheers fella

NP fella, I defo wouldn't recommend moving to a mech before you feel confident to do so. No hurry whatsoever, you pm me a year from now, I'm sure I'll have more than enough kit lying around to send you some!!
And personally I wouldn't kick a mech. once kicked it's not a mech any more, and I believe there is a limit to what ohms they will fire, don't really appeal to me.

Oh, and that's the very definition of 'shinyitis' right there!!

0.6ohms with 18mg juice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you were sitting down!!!

Is there any evidence that the nicotine hit is any stronger with lower ohms? I keep reading it, but don't find any difference myself.
Moving, or adding to your kit, with a mech is purely about portability for me. Carrying a vamo around all day is a no no. Mine in 18650 are shorter than a vamo in 18350.
I use a kick with 18500 and 18350 batteries to save having to remember how much power I've got left. Then only when travelling.

I vape 12mg when using an rba (0.8 - 1.0 ohm).
If I vape 12mg in a dripper (0.2 - 0.6 ohm) my head will be spinning after about 15 mins... evidence enough for me to drip at 6mg! 
But actual 'scientific' evidence? no, I haven't seen any, but I think it's just more vapour = more nic intake

This is a great thread and leo is being a star, seems almost like you are being overwhelmed with kindness @cra1g, gotta love AAE-C.

The Vamo's circuitry takes care of overloading and over-discharging your battery and the Kick does the same you can adjust the wattage (but you have to open you mod and use a screw driver), do you need one: no, I have one and don't often use it, but they give you a consistent vape until your battery is too low which is not to be sniffed at and peace of mind.

Your dead right there VapingBad this is a great thread with so many people kindly offering information, i am always overwhelmed when i come here its a great place to be if your serious about vaping and want to learn all you can (i truly mean that).

Kind regards

igual leo a fuse is more of what i meant sorrento, i see no point of moving from a regulated apv to a mech then turning it back into the latter at a later date? Unless of course it still allows you to go a little lower than 1.5-1.2 on the coils?

I think if i did move down that route of a mech then some sort of reset fuse would be a must, no matter how sensible i think i am and how much knowledge i gain between now and then, it would put my mind at rest that if i did short or i made a mistake i had somthing installed that would trip?


I have learned a lot guys
