this is why the only person allowed to drive my vehicles is the crash dummy!!!

It will be there as soon as you get promoted in trust level @Caped_Conspirathist (the forum software will handle it when the requirements are met)

You actually should be able to see it

Do a lot of readingā€¦ send me a pmā€¦ and keep posting up your funny posts, Dougā€¦
Make this site your home away from home, you are in good handsā€¦ I love to watch you learnā€¦ You make being a newbie really cool :wink:

What is a wiki link?
Sorry I broke your discobot.
I really did try it. had it working for a moment or 2ā€¦

Thanks for saying being a noobie is cool (to me!)! Usually people get SUPER PISSED at me (ok, always, without exception) but on a side note, itā€™s the internet so they canā€™t beat me upā€¦ unlessā€¦ they hunt me down and thatā€™s a rather chilling thoughtā€¦

If youā€™ve seen Robin Williams winging itā€¦ thatā€™s me. Seriously. But he didnā€™t break stuff the way I doā€¦ hmmmā€¦ ok, so everyone has their special abilityā€¦ :grin:

ok, so how do I link the nutjob I am to something relevant? I can actually talk about 3-4 things at once trying to pull it all together.

example: vg\pg content. Some websites say its ok to run 50\50 in a subohm and that it helps coils. Iā€™ve seen flavors on LNW that are 50\50 - 30\70 depending on nic levels. Tried bothā€¦ both drool in my tankā€¦ but found out that cotton is going bad in my tank tooā€¦ also canā€™t put a new coil in correctly to save my life so that causes droolageā€¦ and my cat drools and growls at the door tooā€¦ but does that last part have anything to do with this? they all drool.
ā€¦ and are there specific tanks (other than top airflow RTAā€™s (which Iā€™m trying to re-engineer or create a mod for a tank which will convert it)

with 50\50 and drooling, all I would have to do is use a thin substrate to go around the coil to slow the uptake of juice to the cotton. Not enough to cause an atmospheric issue when drawing on, just enough that would hold back the seeping of the thinner liquid while sitting. I know the product Iā€™d use but canā€™t remember itā€™s name. That, or use some hot hobby glue to partially close up the ports of the cotton wickā€¦ but that would limit the wicking completely and youā€™d be stuck using the thinner juice.

Why not just add some more vg? make it simple, Dougā€¦

yeah noā€¦ just add more vgā€¦ say a 60vg 40pgā€¦ in some tanks you can go higher like a 70vg/30pgā€¦

If your juice is too thin, yes drool is a good word for itā€¦ which tank do you have again, I forgot?

the reason for the higher pg is the uptake of nicotine in the hit. the faster the uptake the more it feels like a cigarette. If pg is actually better for the coils, then keeping keeping them coated with it wouldnā€™t be a bad thing. I had thought of going 35\65 to see how that would work. the falcon sub-ohm ran 50/50 without issue. This king cloud beast Iā€™m not so sure about.

Believe it or not Iā€™m an engineer. the best knack I have is making or improving products.

The membrane Iā€™m thinking of would slide over a coil like a condom. simple to put on, reusable, very heat tolerant, and chemical proof.

I think itā€™s even food grade. I canā€™t remember for the life of me where Iā€™ve seen it. We used it some in the chem labs at college.

You are talking ā€œthroat hitā€ with thisā€¦

and honestlyā€¦ one can not sub ohm without a lot of vgā€¦

Well you could but your juice will run out in puddlesā€¦

I believeā€¦ that you need to stop comparing vaping to smoking. You need to think its a better manufactured vape, rather than a new way to smoke. Are you a dual user?

who said that?? :upside_down_face: both vg and pg are fine for coilsā€¦ it is the additives in your juice that makes the coils crusty, worn out and not last as longā€¦

Ok so you are using prebuilt coil headsā€¦ Maybe you should look into the real sub ohm tanksā€¦ rta/rtda typesā€¦ so you wont be spending a ton of $ on coil headsā€¦ :slight_smile:

No need, againā€¦ adjusting your base will be the best wayā€¦ you might be an engineerā€¦ but let me ask what did you engineer? buildings, cakes, or??? :stuck_out_tongue:

The ratio of pg/vg should have no effect on nic uptake, make it 80/20 if you want (SMOK are designed for high VG mixes) - you may need to let it nap for a little extra time when using high vg.

I think you are mistaking nic uptake and throat hit - more pg will give you more throat hit but it will leak in certain tanks - big wicking holes in a coil means it will wick faster coupled with more pg means it will wick even faster and leak

Edit ah Smoky got to it first :wink:

ok so a higher vg makes it more harsh? learning curveā€¦ sorry. and this is where I have no idea what to link this to.

Reverse that. More VG will be smoother but more cloud

No, higher vg means no droolingā€¦ [puddles of juice dropping all over everywhere]

We will get him sorted @woftamā€¦ he has a lot to soak up!! :stuck_out_tongue: haha!! At least he is having fun with this and tossing ideasā€¦ before long he will be a champion! :slight_smile:
