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

[doc]

Let me clarify. Most if not all box mods I've used are solid as hell performers. They are also great for diy modders. I vape a nicotine Ecig. Carry it in my pocket at work where I'm up and down ladders, in attics and crawl spaces, shit like that all day. A box mod is inconvenient and uncomfortable for me to carry around and use all day. Wouldn't mind one for at home use. In fact I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a DNA 30 box for around the house.

osnap, nice on the DNA30, methinks it will start a whole new addiction :-p there's already a hana DNA 20 that will probably be my home rig, I rarely go over 10 watts. I vape nicotine myself, and this habbit got me a slew of new hobbies.

How does the ReadyXwick compare to the solid FC-2000 ceramic rods? If you were to rebuild a KISS cart, what ceramic wick type would be preferred?

Thanks!!

People from ECF threads say that FC ceramic wick is more brittle than XC.

I've been a stainless steel mesh user for my wicks, but all this recent talk is making me think about changing it up.

Has anyone used both ss and readywick that can give me a little insight/comparison...

ive used both and much prefer the ready x wick. it provides superior flavor and is cleaned easier. its seems expensive, but it lasts a long time.

iv never used the solid ceramic, but i would imagine that the braided ceramic wick would be ideal over the solid. i would think that it would allow for the oil to soak/absorb into the wick whereas the solid would make it drip off...? also the braided wick is flexible just like string or twine and you dont have to worry about it breaking.

Thanks...any advice on cutting this material...ever see fraying with very short pieces (<1/4 in length)? I think I'll pick some of this up and let the fun begin !

I can take hits just as thick off xc116/fc2k as I can SS mesh. But those hits don't make me cough like hits off SS mesh.

If I leave "tails" of XC116 that extend down into my ceramic heating bowl...would you expect them to wick up oil that has fallen off of direct contact with the coil or for those time I miss my placement?

just cut it with reg scissors. no fraying really. nothing to be concerned with at least.

no. oil has to be heated to liquify. so unless there is a heater on the deck then your oil will stay solid and not wick like ecig juice would. just scoop it up and re-apply to the coil/wick.

Not to fully get off topic, but it seems like 510 threaded attys and tanks are stripping my batteries slowly. I don't tighten it hard, or anything. So any ideas on how to solve this, or prevent it?

what kind of batteries are you using?

 

[lesvape]

Right now a 1300mah Evod twist.

 

[jdee]

you have several options
- use a 510 to 510 adapter so worst case would be messing up the adapter instead of the battery
- realize these batteries are cheap and get backups of your backups..
- use something with a higher build quality, like a mechanical mod, (with replaceable topcaps if you enjoy messing up the threading somehow)
- get a 7mm x 0.5mm metric tap and die (tap is used to make or fix 510 battery threading, die is used to make or fix 510 atomizer threading)

Right now a 1300mah Evod twist.

how are they stripping them? maybe you should consider a new battery solution...?

i have mech mods and some eGos and i cant see how the threads could strip unless you thread it on incorrectly.

 

[lesvape]

Not sure how, but I am thinking of going compact mech mod, and since I have a few ego threaded products get the eGo adapter so it won't strip. It's a $20 battery, but it sucks as I only got like 1 month use out of it. I do have a ego twist as a backup, but for some reason that works all my atomizers, but the PT3, which I use for PG. :-/

Would an evic, or iTaste mvp be better in this department? What battery combos would I need if I went mechanical route so I can have it work around 3-3.3v and then 4v if needed?

 

[215z]

eVic, MVP, and iTase VV all have machined stainless steel Ego threads. Avoid counterfeits and lesser brands with aluminum heads, those threads get chewed up.

 

[lesvape]

How do I tell which is real and which is a counter fit?

What device do you have? From what I saw, MVP units come with a serial code you can type somewhere and tell you if it's legit.

 

[lesvape]

Well thinking about getting a new one after I had my second e-cig battery in the last 6 months get stripped(first one was a standard ego twist). Which will less likely strip mechanical mod or evic, or MVP?

II don't think any will strip unless you use it wrong. I just bought an MVP on ebay because it will not strip at all. I had a shitty ego knockoff too.

My ego wasn;t a knock off, at least I don't think it was? Well how do I tell in person? I work by the e-cig wholesale district and thinking about getting one of these models.

Edit: what's the difference between the 2x16 and 1x30?

Would a vv mechanical with the eGo threading accessory be better if I am worried about stripping or MPV/Evic?

I knew my ego was a knockoff when it stripped after just a month. I can't screw anything in to it. Those options are for what cartridge you want. Either 2 16 ML ones or 1 30 ML one.

 

[lesvape]

Well with my evod twist I can still screw on ego threaded products fine. While the PT3, which is 510 threaded, requires a bit of a push to work now.

Edit: will vision spinners have issues with threads stripping?


Update: I just got what I am pretty sure is an authentic iTaste MVP for $45(no tax). There was also the Vamo there for the same price, but I like the MVPs size better(plus it can charge my phone). I really wanted to get the Kamry(sp) k100vv, but they only had the non vv model, and no eGo adapter for it. Also not sure how the 510 threading quality on that model is. Any suggestions how to make sure I don't strip the threading?

 

[doc]

Joyetech uses chrome plated brass for threading. Ask my evic about it hhahaha.
Anyway about the 16 and 30 tanks, they're referenceing the capacity. The 16 is likely 1.6ml and 30 is 3ml of eliquid capacity.

 

[lesvape]

I haven't tried it with my PT3 yet but it works excellent with ecig stuff like the kanger t3d. So far so good. Going to probably baby it even more.

I just washed/boiled all my vape gear and found out that the colored kanger glass tanks are just some coating, its not like actual colored glass : ( I melted some off in my pot

 

[lesvape]

My T3D is clear, i.e. no color on it. But that is a bit concerning.

thats messed up. i was considering getting the gray glass for my PT2. no offense, but are you certain that is is an authentic Kanger pyrex?
