Advanced E-cig users and oil/wax, how-to "one-hitter-quitter"

I normally run it on an Itaste vv, the igo is just what I screwed it onto to take it apart and take the pic. Are you thinking I may not be giving it enough juice to hit like it should? I started wondering if the bigger diameter coil is more of a hindrance than help myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated, as I am not really using this lately. It is easier to load then the dabbler, but delivers nowhere near the hits...

is that a 22mm RDA...? igo-w perhaps? now that you mention it... it does seem to be about twice the diameter than mine. what is the resistance on that coil?

check out the diameter on mine here. this is an igo-w base. my most recent DBC is weighing in at 2ohms.

i have been experimenting with new coils that provide the loading space of the DBC, but are easier to make and use less materials. still refining it so until then ill keep at it.

not trying to power it with ego just to be clear. It is running on an Itaste VV at 4.3 volts now.

point taken. so a simple mech with some good 18650 cells is my best bet then?

Also the coil is reading 1.6 ohms on the vv

Yeah my post was slightly vague but everyone clarified perfectly for me, kudos to all, that is what I meant, even a itaste wouldn't have the punch required for such a large wire (relatively speaking)

You only need one 18650, the Sony's are really good, and they and mech mods are CHEAP on ebay.
Lots of fake VTC5's floating around some reputable dealers at the moment in the ecig industry, it's a better idea to go with VTC4's or comparable 18650's from other brands.

It's funny you mention that, if you've seen a real Sony vtc and the sticker that comes on it, you can spot a fake a mile away, I'll try to get pics to show what I'm saying, I know a store near me carrying what I presumed to be knock offs, just by the font on the sticker being TOTALLY different, I could tell they weren't from Sony....

Ok, so I managed to sneak a picture of the bogus batteries being carried by a store I will choose to remain nameless.
The first pic is of my legitimate Sony VTC5. I just so happened to leave the sticker on that comes with it from Sony, just so it would be easier to differentiate between the one VTC5 and two VTC4's in my possession. The first thing that catches my eye in comparing the legitimate sticker from Sony to the sticker on the battery in question, is the size of the sticker. From Sony, the sticker is almost as long as the battery, not quite the whole length, on the BIQ (battery in question(lol)) the sticker is significantly smaller. The next major difference is the font. It's not so easily apparent in the photographs, but in person its very distinguishable, the size and style of font used is totally different between both battery stickers, and both VTC4's that I purchased ( not from the nameless store ) had the same font that my VTC5 has in the photo, which are totally different then what you'll see in the photo of the BIQ. I wasn't able to verify by handling and comparing to mine, but I'm almost positive that their is a slight size difference, as well as differences in the size of the lines under the heat shrink wrapping on the + end of the battery indicating where the cell ends and the + node begins, in that it was 2 or 3 mm's larger then on the legit VTC5 I own, indicating to me a different interior construction for the node end, a big red flag that they aren't from the same manufacturer. So here goes...

The first pic is of my guaranteed legit Sony VTC5 with its factory sticker still on it...

And finally, the BIQ, or BIQ's... lol

All my sonys (vtc3, 4 and 5) have come with those labels on them some were longer than others ... all legit. What'd the font on the heat shrink wrap look like?

Didn't get the chance to see any of them they were all turned so they aren't shown as can be seen, but I could be wrong, maybe mine aren't legit and the others are, possibly they are all Sony, it would be nice to get to the bottom of this....

Why not name them? If anything it ensures none of us order from there?
Because of two main reasons.
A) I'm 100% positive that it was and is not this stores intention to distribute bootlegged materials, and
B) I'm not 100% positive that these are indeed fakes, especially after another member here's post, it's only my suspicion based on my own experiences. So with that being said, to name the store (publically) would only stand to slander the store, which is not my goal here.

Edit: and I'm almost positive no one here even knows of the store or would order from them here being that it is a store local to me

ok, bought an itaste svd, and the diamondback coil is running at 1.4 ohms. Do i crank up the wattage or the voltage for best results here?

Either or will result in the same change in the eyes of ohms law, doesn't matter really but watts will remain constant if you go that route and use multiple devices

Hey, I'm new here. I just got a second atomizer specifically for vaping oils and bubble. Right now I'm using the krillex evo 2 and have already found some things I don't like about it compared to the patroit that I normally use for vaping juice. Is there a particular go to atty for vaping oils and bubble or is it really personal preference? I'm fairly new to mechanical mods and have the guys at the Vapor Labs shop do my builds. They know what I'm using the evo for and hook me up. I'm clueless as to the ohms it's currently running at, but could easily find out if anyone would like to know. Generally I have cotton in it, but I took it out for cleaning and pictures :nod:

I'm kind of surprised that you say they know what your using it for, but still gave you a cotton wick, which is the worst wicking option for concentrates, at least in my opinion. And yes, atty choice really does fall under preference more then function for the time being, their isn't one yet that's better then all the rest, it's really the same iteration company to company, just different styles and finishes

What kind of wick do you suggest? Looks like most people on here are using silica or something called readywick. Is there a difference in the two?

silica is glass strands and readyXwick is a woven (and hollow) ceramic fiber wick. silica fibers are small and can pose health issues if inhaled. RXWs fibers are larger than your pores and "should" not pose such risks. or so says the distributor of which sells the safest woven ceramic fiber wick available says. they heat treat it at temps hundreds above what they need to be and for hours longer than needed to ensure safety. again.. or so they say. silica can get pretty nasty pretty quick. RXW can be dry fired to clean it back to pristine white. there is a caveat to that though... the more abuse the RXW takes (like constant heat from a cleaning) the shorter its lifespan. i clean mine about 2-3 times a week and they last for 3+ months. if you clean it daily or even more often expect quicker degradation.

i love RXW, but am always looking for something better.
