Thats true although I think with the older kit like cigalike cartridges they didnt used to work well and i found i kept coughing years ago, although i was using very high nic then, I think the atty getting crazy hot though and possibly not being consistent was some of the issue as well as getting gunked up very quickly, although years later when i used a carto tank I don't remember coughing much with high pg, just had to drink alot more water than usual. I've heard some people say they get a scratchy throat from certain types of cotton and even silica, but it seems rare.
It can definitely take some weeks to get used to vaping though, and I think when you stop smoking the lungs start to release particles or something like that heh, could be something that makes some cough, even acne has been known to happen for a while, but maybe less common with vapers.

I think the famous blue screwdriver is 2.5mm in diameter usually, I think you were on the right track with the setup, its just that its better to have the coils setup with the further holes so they can be more centered and also not cause any overlap, any kind of overlapping on the coil can cause the resistance to jump all over and usually the main way a flame can happen on the coil/cotton is when it dries out way too much and has high watts going through, just make sure theres always plenty of juice on the coil and cotton. Those really thick wires such as 22awg are crazy sometimes, they take a fair bit of wattage to even make any heat and they retain heat too, like a small cooker lol You can get higher resistance with 22awg and similar but that'll require many wraps and I found when I tried that, it was better to use thinner wire and less wraps overall. If one coil is heating up faster than the other too even after some prodding of the coils it usually means the coil is not the same size or if theres overlapping then the resistance is different.

hehe I think he was trying to see if wikipedia was open on a screen somewhere to throw in a few scientific terms! We really need Dr Farsalinos to reply to any science based things then they'd be like "ok I got no clue about any of this, I quit"

Nice to see the inventor of the ecigarette on the video, also seems hes the longest user of cigalikes on the planet too an impressive feat by itself! That part where it was claimed nicotine increases dopamine, has a similar mechanism to hard drugs and crosses the blood-brain barrier is strangely exactly what caffeine does too!

Looks good! yea china are producing some great tablets these days, good spec and great prices, also there was a while when hifis were getting bigger and bigger by having dual cassette, loads of cds etc but theyre not even needed nowadays. Some big brands in China also getting recognition elsewhere for phones and tablets like Xiaomi, Huawei.

Great video! They're correct about every little health scare getting out of control lol but its true with using very low mg nic juice but upping wattage alot, you can get through a tonne more liquid and alot more flavouring than before, and the flavouring may be the unknown component in ecigs right now compared to everything else. But still compared to the 4000+ chemicals in regular cigarettes it can't be worse. People vaping on premium juices though at 100 watts or something getting through 20ml a day must be very expensive, can be good to get used to less complex flavours. I find with flavours that are just about acceptable, after a tank I'm used to the flavour lol

Yea its good to know this, I've heard of some calling their credit card company to put pressure on paypal in the past for certain items, but its possible they were under £100 and may have been special cases too. Its certainly easier to deal with the cc companies than paypal over things though.

Maybe the batteries are the only things manufactured in Japan that we use, but its true that even those could be moving into plants in China. Its a shame that Sony kept trying to compete with Apple over the mp3 players for many years releasing so many models and now it seems the mp3 market has slowed down even and alot just use their phones for music! Theres still occasionally the new ipod nanos etc though, but the larger model has not really changed for years. Seems sony is good for higher end items still though. Electronics seems to last a shorter time span now until theres new technology and maybe in the past were made more robust than now so the cheaper items are more popular.
Its quite strange in a way how a big chunk of the market have moved to doing everything from smartphones now, like watching tv is done through streaming alot more, hifis don't seem as popular, instead maybe bluetooth speakers are everywhere and desktops are alot less popular, even laptops are less in favour of tablet pcs. Cameras and camcorders too seem to be replaced by smartphones in many cases. Seems quality alot of the time is being sacrificed for convenience, price and size. But then if the phone breaks its a big issue! Also alot more relying on cloud storage now instead of storing on removable media which can be less secure in some ways.

hey, the Samsung ICR18650-32A 3.7V 3200mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries from FT, will not be able to cope with the higher wattages, same with those panasonics, they can last long with low watts though but the samsungs also are not as safe in case of problems due to the internal chemistry being icr not imr so if theres a problem they can react more violently. They sell samsung 25r's on FT also at a decent price and torchy at ukv and ebay habe them at a good price - I think if you get 2 packs from ebay he sends a 3rd free also, but not 100% sure on that, might have to ask. Seems strange that the mod would get hot though around 60 watts, wonder if theres an issue with the batteries themself. The sigelei does have safety features but if say the battery is not rated to high amp draws I don't think theres a way for the mod to know this. Its possible theres an issue with the battery. Theres some fake batteries around that claim to be one thing and are a much weaker one instead. I have not heard of the samsung 25r being cloned yet but thats a possibility. There was definitely some sony vtc5 clones around so would need to be careful with that. Also with mods with 2 batteries in series which I think the 150watt one is, its best to swap the batteries from left to right each time you re insert them after charging so they don't become unbalanced over time, can be good to put a sticker on the outside wrapper just to identify them. Thanks vapee Thank you for advising, and for info that samsungs can react violently ... glad it wasn't a mech I was using, lol! Torchy definitely I'll be ordering from. Will definitely swap the batteries round. Just started vaping half an hour ago (in vape time only) and already 5% down, freshly charged, but will see what happens on next charge, when I swap them round, avec sticker. Hey no problem, the samsungs you have are safe though comparatively if theyre the real deal so would have been fine in a mech, I meant the samsungs you linked to as another option " Samsung ICR18650-32A 3.7V 3200mAh Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries" are ICR and would not be as safe as the samsung 25R's which are hybrid chemistry.

Its 4 pairs now from torchy at ebay prices (I think its roughly 10% a pair more) he sends a 5 pair free. Not sure if its buy direct from torchy at ebay prices or actually buy on ebay would need checking. Ah right cheers.

Looks like a really nice design - drip through the cap and it can find its way down, also 2 metal posts to keep the cover on it seems, 8 air holes too so itll be interesting to put a oct coil build in lol
