Varies between mods and batteries, but better mods will stop when the battery voltage while firing goes below their limit, so the battery voltage at rest could be much higher if it is old or not a high drain battery. On some you see the battery indicator go up if you turn the wattage down and vice versa. Agree with VB on all, but especially older batteries will perform poorly. |

*Evolv fanboy alert!*  I haven't succumbed to the Evolv craze yet.   Although I do have Istick and Smok TC versions. icon_shoppingm Me neither, but that doesn't mean we won't!  Start saving  |

Manufacturers will only produce what they think will sell in great numbers. The push for a better connection system has to come from the consumers in the first place. They are not going to just do it and hope it takes off. If we make a noise about a problem, they will try to respond by filling that need. TC seemed to come about in that way. As in tests pointing out the dangers of vaping at high temp. Then some leaked info about a manufacturer having cracked it, spurred on the others to evolve the system. No doubt it will still evolve if the manufacturers think they can make money. Having a standard certainly makes sense. But it needs one or more of the big boys to change it. The smaller ones will follow so as to make their products compatible. Innokin's Innocell battery being one attempt to change the battery system. Will it catch on. I doubt it. It's still too big.

This needs to be put in the newbies section. There is a lot of confusion about what is a hybrid. I asked the question to solve a debate,....... and I was wrong  . I thought it was just tube mechs with the direct battery connection. And you're right, it's the only thing that I've ever come across being referred to as a hybrid. Where the battery makes direct contact with the atty pin. Others are just mech mods but never get called hybrids, no idea why they would be. They have something between the atty positive and the battery. All you need to do with a hybrid is screw the atty to the top cap/plate part and check the positive pin sticks out clear so there's nop chance the batteries positive end can touch the top cap/plate. When removing the atty you always remove the switch/button end first too so there's no risk of the battery shorting out. Typical hybrid top cap  Atty pin protruding as it should  If that pin doesn't stick out clear then it's a definite no no Oh! That's what I said, but got told I was a noob, and didn't know what I was talking about. Never mind. As long as people know what actually is a hybrid, I don't mind if they treat anything else the same. At least they are safe. |

A fair majority of children are going to kick back at authority. It has always been the case. As we become more liberal and accepting of others, the more radical the youngsters become. You only have to notice the rise of drug taking to notice this, it has always happened, but the drugs are now stronger and more lethal. It must be (is) far more healthy for a child to try vaping than cigarettes. When they tire of that, and want another source of illicit *high*(like many, not me of course  ), they would be older, and less likely to move on to more dangerous things. In a sentence. It's good not to vape around youngsters as they will be more likely to try that, rather than analogues. But, sod 'em! I can't stand the little fekkers! |

So, how do you work out how many wraps of whichever gauge + wrap for x ohms? And don't go and get all technical on me at this time of night! Keep it simple |

Where are Philips when you need them? They always came up with the best ideas.

I hope you have a temperature controlled mod for this. You MUST NOT use nickel in a regular mod. It will oxidise if used too hot, and that will harm you. I apologise if you know this, but others reading it may not know. Hi timOOPPS! nope me didnt know that. ive used it with my istick40 which has TC but while that was charging i also used it on my istick50 which doesnt have TC and ran that at about 42watt ive not seen much info on this so its a bit misleading for new TC users. myepack also sent me a couple of DVC 0.50 and 0.25 coils so i think ill scrap the Ni200 0.25 and the Ni 0.15 which ive been using. so just to double check. using the Ni200 should only be used on istick40 in TC mode and not normal wattage mode.
and the freemax DVC (0.50 20-60watt) and (0.25 20-100watt) coils can be used in any of the isticks at higher temperature than im normally used too with the kanger OCC coils. i was thinking of getting a 100w + but stuck on what to get as i wanted a built in battery as dont want to keep faffing around taking batteries out to charge in a seperate battery charger. much appreciated for that info. I don't know what the wire is in the freemax DVC coils, so I can't say. But please only use Ni and Ti on a TC device. They can be used on anything, and will work very well, but for safety's sake, don't. Please. |

You must need a new set of tastebuds Get Off My Cloud, I have never tasted so much flavour than from a TC mod.  But each to their own. Respect  Where do you have your temp limit set, same to you VapingBad on a lung hitting setup? I will bet it's above the scorching point of cotton or you're taking really long pulls. Maybe it is just me although i have my doubts because every time i watch a reviewer reviewing a TC device on a TC setup they've either got the limit up way above the scorching point or they're sat their pulling on the thing for like 10-15 seconds. At the moment, I am using a 0.16ohm coil at 37 watts set at 400F on a subtank mini. If I up the watts to 45, the temp limit kicks in, which makes for an odd vape with it switching up and down. This is below the scorching point of cotton, which to a drinker like me is essential..........  You don't need massive watts to get good flavour or clouds with TC. You just need the set up right. I am using nickel by the way. Not really played with Titanium. Yet. |

I used to deliver liquid sugar in a tanker for Tate & Lyle, you can imagine the wasps around the delivery point, they really have no interest in humans, unless threatened, I was scared witless the first few times but got used to sitting around them, most of them got literally drunk and were very docile. But in regards to the wasps attracted to the table where you exhaled vapour, have you seen the windscreen of your car if you vape in there, definitely a visible filmI just thought it was foggy these days...... No? |
