Dunno what a "tiger" coil is, but if it is similar to a clapton, steam-engine has a calc for that. Check out the "Wire wizard" tab, once you get familiar with it, it can show you all you need to know. But, the more complex the coil, the less accurate the prediction, as a lot depends on how well it is twisted/braided/knitted etc. That will depend on your own expertise. Edit: I have no idea what the outcome of twisted multiple wires, like claptons/fused claptons etc, would be. Apart from more watts to power it. Try it and let us know

No, twisted is different, the parallel coils have two paths to use, with twisted, there are many, as the current moves from one to the other. The tighter the twist, the less like parallel, and more like thicker wire with *texture*. So in the sense of calculating the build of a coil for a target resistance? You need to use a calculator. www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp?p=roundmulti&tp=0.5&str=2&dia=0.25&id=2.5&ll=10 uses exactly the same as www.steam-engine.org/coil.asp?p=roundmulti&str=2&dia=0.25&id=2.5&ll=10 in terms of wire and dimensions on the left, but as you see, the results on the right are very different The difference is, the first one is twisted, the second parallel.

Hi gofuk GeoffUK Welcome to the forum of plenty. Plenty of advice on everything you need to know, and even more on what you need to buy. I hope your bank manager likes you as much as your OH (if not more)

Hiya bigcloud69 Welcome to the forum........ which likes to tempt you to buy rather that sell your gear. I hope your OH is understanding

And the twisting together wouldn't make a difference? Twisting makes a difference. *see above*

So on that note, with a twisted build how do I figure that out? If you use say 2 strands of say .4 mm you would get half the ohms of a single strand, it's like that for parallel and I'm pretty sure twisted is the same.. No, twisted is different, the parallel coils have two paths to use, with twisted, there are many, as the current moves from one to the other. The tighter the twist, the less like parallel, and more like thicker wire with *texture*.

Tank has been emptied and cleaned. Thankfully no cracks have appeared so far. I was aware of issues with citrus flavours and tanks. Thank you again everyone for the input, I really do appreciate this community. Today I learned menthol kills poly tanks.You might want to look further into "tank crackers", as menthol is only one of many. I don't use any poly tanks, so I didn't know it was on the list. Google it though, there will be info on what to avoid.

I have bought 5 regulated box mods that take 18650 batteries to future proof myself a bit. I have quite a few built in battery mods and want to use these until they eventually stop working. I have some brand new Samsung 25R batteries, how long can I safely keep them without use and is it ok to just store them and the box mods until I need them. Thanks in advance! The mods will keep indefinitely if kept completely moisture free. If they come shrink wrapped, don't open them until you intend to use them. The batteries should also keep well if stored the same, however, they do *like* to be used, so when you start using them, rotate them, so they all get regular use.

This may sound a little odd, but does ejuice change colour after its been heated / vaped? I am using an Innokin iSub Tank in blue. I believe the tank is polycarbonate. The ejuice is clear, but the residue ejuice in the drip trip is a tinted blue. I blotted both the ejuice from the bottle and the residue on to a paper towel. Am I going crazy? I'd stop vaping that immediately. If it is the poly tank, which seems highly likely, I wouldn't want any of it in my lungs, doing any amount of unknown harm. Stop using it until you find the cause.

toots You have no chance of hiding the pale green one, it's proper baby mint green bright , BTW do you put the discount code in after going paypal? Earlier when I was going to use it I couldn't see anywhere to put a code so went as far as paypal and then didn't want to hit pay! I did get my Evic from there a while back but can't remember where/how to use the discount code! I think you get the option for a "code"(and shipping) after you authorise payment, IIRC, but make sure before committing.
