Dripping for beginners

Dripping is one of the most popular ways of vaping, so there is a lot of questions like "how to start", "what to buy", etc. I decided to write SIMPLE tutorial for beginners.A few comments for the start:1. For me (and for the beginning) the sensible limit of coil resistance for dripping is 0.5 ohm (especially for mech mods - here you can read why) and that we stick to in this guide. 2. Sorry but there is no way to create the good set for dripping...

The TRUTH about sub-ohm vaping on mech mods

For a long time I've been vaping on mech mods + drippers with single-coil setups at 0.5 - 0.6 ohm resistance. So the power was about 25W and everything was cool. Then I wanted to try some stronger configurations. The easiest way seemed just to add second 0.6 ohm coil and get twice lower resistance and hence to double the power. I did it but did my general vaping impression also  doubled? ABSOLUTELY NO! So I started to wonder why? Below I try...

What 26650 batteries for MECH MODs?

There is a lot of 26650 batteries in the market. Cheaper, more expensive, originals, clones, etc... But which one is THE BEST for my mech mod?? During last 2 years I've been testing it in various ways. Finally I found that the best way (as close as possible to reality, actually worse then reality :-) ) is continuous load test. Preferably at quite low "coil" resistance, lets say 0.5 ohm. So, I constructed test setup described here and started...

MESH in microscope

Some time ago I bought a toy microscope as a gift for my godchild. Of course it had to be checked :-) and it turned out that it is very well suited for investigation of different vape-stuff. For the first one went the vape mesh. I bought a couple of sheets from The Vape Mesh Company (TVMC. formerly The Mesh Company - TMC) and checked what exactly the strange symbols mean... MESH #200 (quote from TVMC: #200 mesh - 200 wires or holes per linear...

YiHi SX350 vs GE Naos Raptor

For some time now I've been looking for powerful electronic mod with support for the resistance about 0.5 Ohms. But I made the assumption that it must be powered by more than 1x18650 battery (in my opinion the equipment stronger than 20W should be driven by something stronger) and it was quite big limitation because most of mods on the market is powered by one 18650 battery. Finally I found two offers, both handmade by Polish modders:   *...
