Just for the record my VTC Mini took 5 days to arrive using China Post from FT.

I tend to get anywhere from 7-21 days with my orders but the Sweden route ....!

I just thought as we're now closing in on xmas that global and national postal services might not be on par with normal times.
 
The Fuji apple is nice and very realistic tasting and smelling, :)
although my mouth is very dry and muting the flavour, so unfortunately like a lot of recipes I'll make, I'll probably never fully taste all the notes. :(

UkDTweak, I rebuilt dual coils on the Velocity using 26 gauge SS 317L/3mm/11 wraps each. Comes out at 0.6 ohms and gives me a much better range for my mod, up to 5.5V max. But I was going for 0.9 ohms for full range following this.

Am I meant to take that number of wraps 23.47 and halve it for each coil, ie, about 12 wraps each? I'm wondering why it came out lower than I aimed for. But I've looked at my coils and it looks like one is 11 wraps and one is 12, so I guess that's why I got a different resistance?

When doing dual coils, each coil needs to be double the resistance you want the final dual coils to equal, so as Froz said, you would need double the wraps, however, .5ohms is a good spot for SS.

So if you want a dual coil set up to come out at .9ohm total, you would need to build Two coils around 1.8ohms each, your mod would not have the power to properly heat them up fast enough though, 24wraps per coil of such low gauge wire will take a fair bit more power.

I'm not a fan of the Kbox mini (subox battery device), it's cheap but not that much more so than the VTC mini
I'll let others advise on a tank, I tend to go for open airflow rebuild-able tanks so I'm not up to date with other styles.

Juice, if she likes a nice extra cool menthol mint then Mystic Juice Ice Mint would be one for the list.

Thanks the VTC mini looks good could any others advise on a tank for it ?

Thanks

Thanks guys, I understand. Blimey, 24 wraps per coil :p I see from the coil calculator that my 11/12 wrap build would have given me 0.8/0.9 with 26 awg kanthal. I've got 28 awg SS and that's showing 15 wraps for 0.9. I'll give that a go.
Alternatively, if I just remove one of my coils to leave a single coil, apparently my 12 wraps will already give me 0.9 ohms.

Yeah single coil is better suited to a 50W mod, but dual is possible, i am running single coil in my Subtank Mini, but it is made from 2 strands of 26awg TI twisted together and came out around .21ohms, running it on my IPV D2 at its max of 50j (around 50w equivalent) and its working great in TC mode.

If you are going to get serious about dual coils then i recommend getting a more powerful mod, something with at least 75w like a VTC Mini or and SX350 based chip. OR get some thinner wire for higher resistance.
 
I did wonder as the mobile version doesn't mention what battery type it uses, I presumed it was tri 18650 or something to get to that rating :p

Still, not too bad for £80, even if it becomes a sacrificial diy project as we already know the battery will be over rated and likely gash :D
 
I hate the way the do that with the mAh, its in Series Not parallel, but though i spotted preview images of the Panzer months ago, im concerned that 1 its Kangside, big cloner and 2 it says D-N-A 200... Not DNA200 or Evolv...

However it does say authentic but it's still suspect to me tbh.

EDIT: They're listed on 3fvape.com as well - Authentic DNA200 chip powered by Evolv - link

Why do they list it as 4500mAh? It's 1500mAh. Just because it's 3S doesn't mean you add the capacities together.

No, but it does kinda make sense for the layperson when you compare to 18650s, it'll last as long as "4500mAh's worth of 18650s" at the same watts. You'd say the realeaux has 6300+mAh, why not a 3s lipo, just because the batteries are in the same pack? Not that I mind or care, just playing devil's advocate :P

Quick question; where do people get their nic and vg/pg from?
Click to expand...

Lubrisolve (on eBay) for PG/VG, cheapest downright and good quality. They sell nic too if you order over the phone but I don't think their price is quite as good as Darkstar's.

The Reuleaux uses 3x 18620 in Series, so mine currently has 3x 2100mAh cells, so as far as i am concerned it has 2100mAh... not 6300.

We need to get away from mAh and start thinking in Watt Hours... as that is the same for both 18650 or Lipo cell.

So a 2500mAh 18650 = about 9wh
A 900mAh Lipo is also around 9wh

Simples :)
