The juice I'm using is 60% vg which is homemade and my mod is a Kbox 200.
Ive used both the coils that came with the tank and I've bought some from a different shop.
I have built up the watts gradually but it seems to be a wicking problem. I haven't been chaining but they seem to burn when I've fired it three times in succession. Is there any way to get the coils to wick better?

OK so I got a raffle, was using the .2 coil it came with for 3 days at 75 watts and suddenly it burned. Bought two more coils and both of those have burned within a day, I don't understand what is happening. I've primed them and built the wattages up. They seem to be authentic, I've not had issues with other coils I've bought from the same place. Any ideas?

Sorry I've only just seen these messages, I've not got the money until I get paid at the end of the month but I'll see when I do. I now have a raffle which I am having issues with, I will still be in the market for a mod though

I am looking for a box mod, at least 75w, 24mm diameter, preferably silver/ grey/ ss. TC is a bonus but not essential.
Also looking for a Griffin 22mm, Uwell Rafale and an Arctic V8.
Thanks

And I've just bought an Ipv mini  But this does have a replaceable battery. I really like the look of this- how is it performing? Nick Well, up until now it was working really well. But I have just rebuild by kayfun and the ipv decided it was going to "crash" it wouldn't read the resistance properly (got stuck at 1.3 no matter what device I put on it), and from what I can gather it was firing at full wattage no matter what I changed the setting to. Lasted for about 10 minutes, seems to be alright now though. |

Is there a chart somewhere that shows recommended wattage ranges for resistances?
I am using 13 watts on a 1.6 ohm dual coil. How high should I be able to push the watts without burning the cotton/ coil?

Am I being stupid, is there somewhere to get them other than the eBay shop? I'm not seeing the £12.99 VTC4s
Hollandaise isn't that difficult, just requires patience. But the more eggs you use, the longer it takes to emulsify, 4x the eggs, 4x the time...

Would someone be able to confirm for me which Torchy batteries are alright for using with a mech, for a 0.5-1 ohm dripper?
Don't want to spend more than £15 (unless I have to). Are the efest 30amp IMRs OK?
(Got all my preparations done for cooking Christmas dinner, including pre-making 8 portions of hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict which was such a PITA. So I thought I'd do some shopping)

Iused a nail, which I measured, so I'm not sure why that's happened, what If I have accidentally ended up with 1 more wrap on one coil, then the other?

What I have done is put in a dual coil, lowered the wire thickness to .28 lowered the coil diameter to 1.5 and done 15 wraps per coil, it came out at 1.7 ohms. It's definitely taking too long to heat up ( I was aiming for 1.1 ohm) but the performance is good, better throat hit and vapour. The flavour is less, but I don't mind that. Just need to get the resistance lower, steam engine doesn't seem to be giving me the right numbers.

That makes sense. I've just tied my nautilus and the vapour and throat hit doesn't seem to be any better on the kayfun. So maybe it's my build, going to play around with it tomorrow and see what happens. Kind of feels like the coil isn't heating up quick enough
