Yeah it should all be SS. The thicker wire is the core, the thinner is the wrap. SS can be used in either Power Mode or TC. I get better results using spaced coils in TC. Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Steve

PS I would use it in TC because I prefer TC. The great thing about SS is it's very versatile and can be used either way

you can build a reg tight coil if you like .. the spaced coils seem to be a bit more accurate re the TC tho. But other than that I have reg style coils in SS and they seem to work ok too.
Oh thank you I am doing 2 tanks today I will try both methods . Dam I bought this by mistake . It was on sale but sure dam happy I did ..way better Vape

I've lived just outside of Phoenix and in Michigan so I feel like l can say this. You can't really compare temperature here to Phoenix or Vegas. We also get humidity that makes everything sticky.

I always said I'd rather have it 100 and dry instead of 86 with 87% humidity. Now when it got hotter than 105 or so it was just hot, dry or not. Today it's actually not to bad because the humidity is only in the 40's. It's always something lol

Cheers,
Steve

Up here near the Canadian border, in moose country.
I'm right on the Canadian border too. It's one of those weird facts that Michigan is the only state in the lower 48 where you can look south at Canada.

I gotta think NY too, at Niagra at least. The Canadian falls are south of the US side. Right?


The main things stopping me is I'm just not a big fan of single battery mods. It seems like 25 mm RTA's wouldn't look to good on top (mainly what I'm using now). Also since getting some Clapton wire I've changed my power level to 50 watts and preheat to 80 watts. My VT133's aren't even lasting all day so I think battery life on a single 18650 would be pretty bad. YMMV

Well... if you're gonna use logic and reason... I got nuthin'. :p

I went out, for hours but not all day, with just a Lil' Serpent topped Pico and an AIO. :eek:

That was no issue at all, but not all builds would have worked and I would have chosen otherwise for a longer trip. And obviously... you need the dual cells.
Mostly... I was just giving you a hard time. :D
The deal was just too stupid good to not spread the news.

But you'll still get a Blood Red Lava 75, right? ;)


Question is how's the battery life with a single 18650? Probably better than my evic vtc mini because it's a more efficient DNA chip.

My first thought is "probably not" but it may be a matter of usage, or a toss-up.
There's got to be a power sweet spot on the DNA 75, but with a published efficiency of *gack* 85%... I doubt it's up around 60+ watts or high voltage.

Someone can breakdown its' efficiency and how it handles V Boost. :confused:

The SMY is narrow, the Merlin RTA (23mm) fits on it, anything bigger would definitely have overhang. When I go out, I use single 18650 mods, just easier to tote around, at home, I use my multi-battery mods more often though. I like vaping different flavors and my style of vaping varies throughout the day. I usually have lower ohm, dual coil builds on my multi-battery mods which I like for certain flavors. On my single battery mods, I usually have a single coil or slightly higher ohm builds for flavors that taste better at lower wattages/temps.

Single 18650 mods are another tool in my vaping toolbox that fits my mood/style at the time. To each their own styles. :D

I have 3 of the tornado nano 4ml ! The prebuilt chip coils is amazing and the rta deck is sweet. Flavors for days, no JC with top fill..but never had it leak on me yet. It's a steal at 17.00!

Damn Ecig! Lol. Snagged all black VT133, so I'll have 2 now... But of course can't stop there. Got another Fuchai 213(I'm in the camp of great power mod, so overlooking all Sigs bs) the Dovpo Punisher and Guardian, Smy SDNA 75 and the Kanger 160 drip box(what the heck, I know it's not a proper squonking set up, but I've never had one, so it'll be a introduction I guess). I keep telling myself this is it... And we haven't even gotten to the inventory blow out apocalypse fire sales surely looming in the coming weeks.

Every time I read someone bought a 213 I have to bite my tongue. Pretty soon I'm going to be mute :D:giggle:. Ok guys no hate mail, I'm trying to be funny.:cheers:

I was gonna buy a fuchai 213 from ecig because they have a deal were you get a crown 2 and 2 LG hb2 for 70 or the rafele and two hb2 for 60 with the fuchai. But as soon as I read the whole thing with djlsb and how they threatened him. I will never support or buy a seg product again. It sucks to because I love the look and form factor of the 213. I'm a mostly power guy but have been dabbling it tc with my newly aquired ss430. So I didn't care if tc sucked because I would just use it in power only. I have my dna to do tc. But fuck them now. Such a greedy company!!

Oh my....ecig has restocked AGAIN, sure don't need another, but at that price, it's hard to not get the CC out AGAIN.

Gotta keep saying to myself: I might be able to help one more person stop smoking, for as little as 88 bucks......:)

Lol, I totally understand the sentiments against the company and the devices. I pretty much got my first one without reading anything about it, the shady stuff, bad business ethics all that. I'm primarily a power user so I had already developed an affinity for it before becoming aware of the BS. I'll not say it's smart consumerism on my part throwing more money at the company, but dang I do like the mod for what I use it for. I perfectly understand and agree with your stance and opinions on it though.
