testdruifAs I said, i'm no electrical engineer, but as far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter how much current you throw at that board, it will still only output 5V @ 1a.

OK - so that board is rated at 1a @ 5v = 5W Methinks it won't vape well  Also, to quote a reply from the tutorial you linked to: |

JayJWhen you pop the rubber top off the head, there is a couple of strands of really gunky wick on top of the coil. I pull these out carefully and bin them. The can be replaced with equally short lengths of 1 or 1.5mm wick. I have a couple that Ive not bothered replacing, and put them back together without. Some folk have leaking issues like that though. (could possibly even use cotton wool? but would deffo burn during a dry hit) Once the top is popped, and rubbish removed, you can get the coiled wick really clean, buy dry burning, and carefully removing the gunk with a pin - you can also shuffle the coils with a pin, so they heat up evenly. Ive bought wick from ecigwizard, ebnferro, somewhere else, but the vapemesh company have EVERYTHING you need for wicks & coils. Probably don't lengthen the wicks for an evod - its BCC - & they'd be a bugger to get back in. Hope that helps?

For a 2ohm atty, you would need a 6v supply that could kick out 3 amps. For a 1 ohm atty, the supply would have to provide 6 amps  Personally, I don't get how passthroughs can really work when connected to a computer. USB spec is 500ma, which is nowwhere near enough to power a PV - but I'm no electrical engineer  - just kind of remember ohms law from some time back (maybe ohms law is updated for the new millenium?  ) |

mollyIf you're going through a lot of heads, maybe get some wick & wire, and a cheap multimeter from fleabaay (£3 ish) and recoil them yourself? It's very easy. I would suggest getting some wick anyway, to replace the little bit on top of the coil (no coiling needed, but you can never clean this bit properly & should probably throw it away and replace, when you clean your heads - I certainly do  )

mollyAre you wanting to try a different battery or clearo/carto/atty? An alternative(upgrade) from an evod clearo, would be a Protank (which takes the same heads as an evod) or a Davide (which I think also takes the same heads) - not used a Davide, but my Kanger Protank from fasttech for £8.13 delivered in 14 days is excellent.

Don't worry too much about it chiller- it will soon be called a chemist I still think if worse comes to worst, we can still beat the battle in court. I know what you mean  Now I've had think about it in the park, I think "Vapourium" sounds nice  |

Overhang? Nothing a bit of second-hand 'chewy' couldn't sort.  |

Cheers guys, I never knew it was a flavour wick, assumed it was there to stop leaking or something Same here, lal, but then I read "flavour wick" somewhere. (Maybe one of those things like "beauty ring"?) I could not be arsed with the faf of cutting a tiny piece of wick every time I had to clean it due to a funky ta ste, so tried with 1 piece, then none. As I said, I think the flavour is slightly better without, and I've had no leaking issues without it(I leave it stood up on my mini-LT overnight ).
It may cause a problem in other cases - if it had for me, I'd have rewicked with 3mm rather than 2mm to 'plug the gap'.
Now I'm happy, as I don't need to replace it every time I dry burn |

lalWhen I did mine first time,it had 2 pieces of really gakky stuff on it - I replaced it with 1 strand of 1mm silica. It went funky after a couple of tanks, so next time I didnt bother with any - they ( who are they?) call it a flavour wick, but to be fair, I find the flavour is better without it I did need to re-arrange the coil a bit though, as it was glowing at one end long before the other - now if shuffled it, it's nigh on spot on

Think it depends - I've never had one split, but I always try to keep my orderes over $15 but under £15 (tracked shipping with no customs hassle). Others, I believe, have had orders split.
Put a ticket in, asking them to ship the stuff that's ready, and send the other stuff when it arrives?

2 puffs or 20 puffs it's up to you.
