Reckon the Nautilus Mini might be the one. I'd go for the standard Nautilus, but I reckon it might be a bit big seeing as she'll probably end up with an istick. The MVP is a bit unwieldy for her for some reason... She's an odd one tbh :D

Nautilus mini with the istick sounds like a winning combo to me, should provide a very nice experience for the relatively small size. :)
 
Think I'm approaching the end of my vaping journey it's a bit :( as well as :)

Am finding more and more I simply can't be arsed to recoil anything nor make my own juices, and am down to 3mg nic so the next transition will be 0mg, and then hopefully kicking the habit for once and all. New shinies just aren't doing it for me anymore.

Have a ton of decent gear to flog, hoping I can crawl some money back and pick up a new hobby!

Makes sense, why would you continue to take medicine if you're better?

I aim to be there in the not-too-distant myself, but first need to satisfy a mod/RTA itch. :D

I'm vaping less and less but I enjoy the fiddling around too much, I think I need to find a hobby that's better for my health! but the problem is I enjoy the ease of this hobby, sitting down making coils and blowing clouds, no sweat or hard work or early mornings :p
 
Been an expensive week for me while I was off work:

Bought the following:
Big Dripper V2 (Clone)
Eleaf Lemo (Original)
Istick (Original)
Zero DNA 30 (Clone)

Had a Vaporshark RDNA40 on pre order but changed it and now have a nice new Hana Modz DNA40 instead.

I have managed to build my first NI200 single coil (about 0.18ohm), in my Veritas, using pure cotton, but still got burnt hits while testing, after testing found my cotton actually ignites at 210F so the 420F I had set the Hana too was useless... set the limit to 200F and got no vapor at all... so now im looking to find what is the best wicking material to use for DNA40 in Temp mode?

I hear Jap cotton, Rayon, Silica...?? up till now ive been using cotton balls bought from the pound shop lol
 
Jap cotton or Rayon would be my suggestion. Though the 40 might change things....

Hows the Lemo? :)


Tommy: Congrats mate. Though unlucky too I guess? In a nice way. :)

If you are reaching the end of your vaping journey and are free from cigarettes then more power to you! :D

If you start selling your gear, it might be worth hanging on to one tank, battery/mod and a small amount of juice for a while until you are sure the cravings will not return. :)

Nice haul of goodies you got on the go. :D
I have not used a DNA40 but silica is very temp resistant but not the most efficient form of wick. Rayon/cellucotton might be worth a try mate. Experimentation is the only true way to find what works best for you. :)
 
ive been googling about trying to find better info on best wick and temp settings, but the results are limited and uncertain as they don't always tell you what was used for the wick, all they go on about is coil size and temp setting... pointless if you have no idea what material is being used in the actual wick your protecting from burning lol, so ill try getting some rayon and give it a go cheers.

The Lemo is good, its my first RBTA though so the only "tanks" ive tried prior are the Kanger Aero Mini, Aspire Nautilus Mini, the Peakomiser and the Atlantis and the next nearest would be my Big Dripper..

If I had to rate in order of overall performance against the tanks I know... So flavour & Vapor together:

1. Big Dripper (Auto Dripper)
2. Lemo
3. Atlantis
4. Peakomiser
5. Naultius
6. Kanger Aero Mini

The Lemo AF is a bit fidgety as you have to unscrew the 510 base to access the control ring to change it, but once you got it set it's all good, easy to build on, clean and light (when empty), holds plenty of juice and can chuck decent clouds.
It comes with a single coil pre built on the deck (1.1ohm according to the IPV2 V2 50w), and with the AF fully open and running at 18.5w... it performs well, decent flavour which improves if you close off the AF more and good clouds too, at the above settings it easily matches the Atlantis with its 0.5ohm coil at 20w, for clouds and has no spit back and better flavor, IMHO.

cheers, already seen the Rip video and the few others on YT, in fact ive spent the last few weeks watching YT vids on builds and mods lol... My local Vap shop calls me the mod king... ive just ordered some Rayon that should arrive in a day or two so will see how it goes, building with ni200 is a bit of a pain compared to kanthal, so not looking forward to a wick change but needs must, no point having temp control if its so low you cant vap or its to high to stop burnt hits...
 
Starting think I might have been sent the wrong awg for my ni200.. I did a coil last night on another RDA, worked out the approx length required to get a 0.12ohm coil, it came out 0.25ohm, having worked out the number of wraps on the 2.5mm rod, looks like the 28AWG might actually be 32AWG... I used 4", 28AWG ni200 is supposed to be 0.3778 ohms per ft... so that works out as 0.18ohm for 6".... or is my math that bad?
 
Hi,
Wondering if you could help me out as basically i made a fast tech order on the 26/11 and was shipped on 27/11 via singapore post. I have still not received anything at it still shows the same thing when being tracked. Tracking number is RP305199290SG
Thanks in advance.

Hi Flex. That look pretty normal to me mate, I would expect things to have slowed down a bit with the lead up to Christmas. I would expect your items to arrived within the next 7 days if UK customs don't hang around. :)

Is the wire gauge or diameter stated on the packet/spool?
