    I made my Sony VTC5A purchase based on this: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/why-do-people-prefer-sony-vtc4-instead-of-vtc5-or-vtc6.300938/ "The VTC4 was the long standing King of the realm the VTC5A has taken over, it is a 20 to 23amp CDR battery able to be flexed and pushed toward 28amp...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    @JoeMama Good to know about the De-Oxit. Thanks for clarifying. I have three working Hoppers in rotation. I use them in different situations. All are working satisfactorily, none have had RMAs, all perform slightly differently. In February 2018 I purchased another Ti Hopper. When I received...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    The use of Deoxit was discussed often and at length much earlier in this thread. Folks were using it to clean the threads on the back end and the body. It seems like it fell out of favor quickly. I think that HL may have advised against it. Does anyone think that maybe it's just screwing and...

    The Firefly 2 vaporizer

    The only thing that will kill this with the FF2 is accidental combustion. Be careful with your temp settings. Have something like an odor proof bag to throw it in in case you combust. If you sense combustion stop drawing immediately and put your hand over the mouthpiece hole. It's happens...

    I've ordered a different mod for my StemPod. I bought the Joyetech eVic Primo 2.0 228W. I have been using an Eleaf iStick Pico 75W with a heat sink. Using AF firmware. At one point I could get the mod to read the proper resistance of the SP (about .24 Ohms) and act as expected when using TCR...

    You didn't mention your TCR setting. I believe that setting the TCR too high will result in the mod calculating the temperature too low. This can result in the mod never believing that the set temperature has been reached, and the mod will never power cycle. Remember that the mod is only...

    I never noticed any significant odor coming from my Stashpod. Mine is well made and pretty much odor free (well it does smell like wood). I have been experiencing inconsistent behavior with my Stempod and AF powered box mod lately. I believe that the resistance of my stock Clapton coils is...

    My main use of the SP is to reduce the demand on my Grasshoppers. I definitely prefer my Hoppers to the SP, but I worry about them breaking or wearing out. Whenever I don't need the convenience or stealth of the Hopper I prefer to use something else. That used to mean one of my Firefly 2s, but I...

    How do you vape in public?

    The biggest stealth killer that I experienced with the MFLB was combustion. I recall it happened a number of times when I still used the MFLB exclusively. Even with the technique that I felt was "perfect" I experienced a few random combustion events. Weed smoke is way more detectable by more...

    How do you vape in public?

    The Pax Era is the stealthiest vaporizer I own. I have a tri-fold wallet, and the Era is actually small enough that I can put it in my wallet and fold the outer flap over it. It doesn't fit in with the bills, but just on top of the two folds, so the third fold can cover it. I do that when...

    I bought the short wooden capsule stem with glass stem insert from lamart.ch: http://shop.lamart.ch/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&product_id=303 This is working well for me with the S&B dosing capsule. I'm using TC mode on my Eleaf iStick Pico 75W. The capsules require some attention...

    Discontinued The Grasshopper

    I’ve got 3 Hoppers in rotation, all have worked well since I got them. The oldest has occasional issues but they’re pretty minor and aren’t enough to make me take it out of rotation. Some of my Hoppers turn ABV darker than others, even with the same strain, batch, grind, and temp settings. But...

    Hopefully this link works for you: https://www.ebay.com/itm/142751725276 The listing was for "510 Kepler 22mm Stainless Steel Heat Dissipation / Heat Sink Kepler 22mm" and was sold by e-Bay seller "monkeybizzness01".

    I can't say what's "normal", but I use a heat sink with my SP and my mod reads the stock Clapton coils at .24 Ohms at room temperature. I believe that is consistent with the resistance others have reported without using a heat sink. I got the same e-mail with a tracking number. I should...

    I use a heat sink with my Eleaf Istick Pico 75W and the StemPod. Works great. I would say that extraction is one of the strengths of the SP. It's pretty easy to combust with the SP if you're not careful with watts or temps. I've started messing around with TC mode using TCR, and I feel much...

    I tried the S&B dosing capsules with the StemPod and came away wholly unimpressed. My desired outcome was a system to minimize the amount of herb that needs to be cleaned out of the SP chamber between uses, to reduce the likelihood of combustion, and to simplify loading the SP. I managed to...

    Thanks to all of those who responded to my question regarding glowing coils. Lots of useful info... The last time I used my StemPod I managed to achieve combustion. I'm using it in wattage mode, set to 40 watts. I used a 3-4 second "preheat" before releasing and re-pressing the fire button on...

    Regarding the "sur_myevic" firwmare, it does not install on an Eleaf Pico 75w using either firmware updater I've tried (AF and Eleaf). I'm not sure what Eleaf models are supported, but the Pico 75w does not appear to be one of them. I've read this whole thread, and I recall people discussing...

    Thanks for the tips! I will look into these options. In the meantime I'm still using my broken stock stem (at least until I receive a new one from Dan). It would be nice to have both wood and glass options. I started doing this yesterday and it made a significant difference in vapor...

    I'm still looking for a nice stem that will fit the SP. I'm looking for a short wooden stem like the one pictured in a previous post by @HerbieVonVapster. I've searched for Tubo Evic and RBT stems but I don't like the wooden Tubo stems, and the only RBT stems that I found appear to be colored...
