Changing coils with e-juice in the tank

Hi all, recently I posted here about an issue I had with my coil and everyone advised me to change my coil. However, I still have some e-juice in it (like 1cm high in the tank). I have a Joytech Ultimo Atomiser. What would you advise? It's clear I have to get it out first. I tried to fire the button without vaping so the juice would just evaporate, but I smelled a burning smell and was worried I'd ruin either my tank or my mod. So I guess that's not the right way to proceed. What do you think, I'm sure some of you had similar situations. The Ultimo is filled from the top, if that matters.

Revvo feedlink battery help?

Does anyone have a link for a revvo feedlink battery that is cheap but also lasts long, I bought one because it was cheap and I want to quit smoking cigarettes by vaping but I knew nothing and realised I didn’t have a battery and it’s not chargeable, my own fault for not being knowledgeable enough (I didn’t research because I just went into a shop and bought it) I don’t earn a lot of money and was hoping to get a vape to ease my spending but I’m not sure if this was actually the right choice but now I’ve got it I want to use it idk if I can just use any battery or if I need a specific one from the ones I googled so just helping my knowledge of the vape helps just as well as any links to batteries I can buy :)

XROS 3 0.7 vs 0.8 tips

I’ve had my XROS 3 for a while now and bought extra 0.8 ohm tips/coils to use with it. Later on I purchased an XROS 3 nano and got some 0.7 ohm tips for that. I rarely use the nano.

The tips/coils are interchangeable. Last night I filled up a 0.7 ohm tip with my usual juice and put it in the XROS3 instead of the nano. I don’t have any more 0.8 ohm tips at the moment. The 0.7 ohm tips are incredibly harsh with the same juice in them as compared to the 0.8. Does that sound right? I wouldn’t think the difference would be that big. The 0.8 ohm tips are incredibly smooth and mild as far as throat hit goes. But the 0.7 are almost too much to handle. I use nic salts anywhere from 30 mg-48mg strength. Usually it’s the 48 mg and it works perfectly with the 0.8 ohm coil. I do have some straight glycerin. I guess I could dilute my neck salts with when using the 0.7.

I just wanted to see what you all know about the 0.1 difference in ohms with the up to 16 w capability of the XROS 3. The wattage is not adjustable, so I can’t do anything about that.

Thanks for any insight or information you may have!!

Nicotine booster 20mg for 30ml liquid

Does that mean my liquid will have 20mg / ml (2%) nic after adding the booster? Or 0.6 mg / ml?

Hidden Gem Vape store

I wanted Oxva Velocity XL pods and Unipro RBA coil. Searched for 2 days for an online store that had both to no avail. Found bearsvapes.co.uk and they had the coil I wanted but the pods were only 2ml which was not stated in the description but as they were not described as XL I presumed they would be. I messaged them to check and they replied saying yes they were 2ml but as I had told them in message I wanted 5ml ones they said they had sourced some if I still wanted the 5ml version. I said yes and within 24 hours after first contact my goodies of 2 Rba unipro coils 3 packs of 2 5ml Velocity Pods, wires, cotton and free battery wraps which are actually being sold as free on their website (pack of 2 limited 1 pack per order) was packed and on its way to me. That is swft sourcing of what was not available on website to delivery. They also offer free delivery over £25 and currently 10% off so please take a look at this hidden vape store as they have a very good range of products for vapers and if you can't find what your looking for just shoot them a message and you never know you might be lucky.

Has anyone heard anything recently about the Therion 2 DNA250c?

Has anyone heard anything recently about the Therion 2 DNA250c?

I heard that it was supposed to come out at the end of March.. and here it is.. and here it isn't..

I saw a lot of people from the US commenting on its Youtube and Instagram reveals that they didn't like the 250c chip because they only had usb c chargers.. (implying that they don't charge batteries externally..)

..and that Thinkvape mod.. what was it, the Cratom?.. released with one chip and then the next shipment had the DNA100c.

I kinda wouldn't put it past LVE to push the mod's release to put together a 100c version for lazy people..

..but I was just wondering if anyone here had heard anything.

(My poor original Therion 250c recently died at 250k puffs. The screen developed a black spot that grew.. and the capacitor died last year so it reset the date/time everytime I changed batteries.)

My new coils taste burnt

I changed my coil last night in my falcon legend tank. After cleaning out my tank, primed the coil and filled my tank before i went to bed and let it sit overnight, when i went to hit it this morning it tastes extremely burnt. The coils rated for 80-90w and i run it at 80w could it be my juice going bad?

Burnt pods Novo 2

Recently got a starter kit novo 2 comes with the device the charger and 2 empty pods ones a 1.0 mesh and the other is a 1.4 mtl. The first pod I put it on its side and I filled her up with 25mg of the nic salt I bought, after about 10 minutes of letting it sit, I go to tap it even after just sucking without the device several times, and I get a spicy metaly, I wouldn’t say I couldn’t taste the flavor although it was very faint, it’s my first time priming a pod so instead of being in denial that I wasted a perfectly good coil, I go to fill up my 1.4 mtl pod. Me taking extra precaution waited about an hour and sucked it without hitting it. So the hour passed and I can faintly smell the juice when I put my nose to the hole. I’m excited to finally try the strawberry kiwi 25mg nic salt I got. It ended up burning my throat very disgustingly and I over all didn’t get much flavor. Now I am really in denial, those are my only 2 pods and now I gotta go back to the smoke shop to buy more pods, I don’t know if it might be the juice but letting it sit for an hour and it still burning is crazy to me. This is my first pod system ever so don’t clown me. I don’t know if the density of juice might be another aspect to how the pod saturates, but there goes 2 pods!🤦🏽‍♂️

Got a Caliburn G3 and I absolutely fucking hate it. Can y’all recommend me something that will help me switch from disposables/vuse to a pod system?

My vuse/lost Mary provides a much better, satisfying hit. Hard to describe how exactly, but I’m very unimpressed.

Looking for a DTL RBA/RTA daily driver.

Hey all!

I've been considering replacing my TVF 18 (with the RBA deck) for a while, and I'm looking for a new daily driver. I hope I can get some recommendations. I've been using RDA's, RTA's, and every rebuildable deck style for 8-10 years at this point. So build difficulty isn't a concern: I'll figure it out.

I want a tank with solid flavor, dual coil compatible, a decent capacity, and pretty open airflow.

I've looked at the Zeus, and the fat rabbit, as well as CORE, and blaze RTA's. The blaze seems to be out of stock, and I'm concerned the fat rabbit may overhang on my smok mag-18.

In my googling, I'm finding a ton of mixed reviews on whatever I seem to find.

Can anyone recommend some options they like, and what makes it their daily?

Issues with my disposable cart

So I just got this 7G cart, I have an Iphone 15 which takes a C charger, I used my fast charger I have for it on it and I think maybe took a shower I don’t know if it ruined it or the battery but like it won’t work now, this was the first time I charged it, so i’m not sure if it was already broken or not but it hit fine before. If I did damage the battery is there anyway I can fix this? The brand is space gods super nova if anyone was wondering

Advice on next pod system after Nord X

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I’ve been using the Nord X for years with the 1.00 RPM coils at about 14W. It’s the first time I actually liked a pod system and got me to quit smoking.

The issue is my batteries are all shot and my shop doesn’t carry coils for it anymore. They have many other Smok pod units but they all look smaller/cheaper and my shop isn’t very knowledgeable.

So my question is, what is the latest/recommended pod system that is comparable to my set up.

Thanks!

Is there a trade subreddit? I'm looking for a VOOPOO Drag in Purple Jade, mint or close condition

Hey there guys. I haven't owned a mod in 6 years, and it's been on my mind for a while to get another. I had a Drag 1 w/ a Vaporesso Cascade tank that I wish I never sold. It's one of my biggest regrets. The set-up and color scheme was lovely and I got compliments all the time on it.

I've been searching all the major online retailers as well as eBay, and I've had no luck finding the Purple Jade resin color. They didn't/don't make any other similar models with that coloring either.

Do you happen to have one for sale? I really miss that damn thing. In the Dallas area btw.

Debate on new tank setup

After about a year and a half of solely using pod systems, I’m looking for a new tank setup.

I was looking at the nautilus 3s as I really wanted a nautilus gt but they’re discontinued. Everyone on YouTube was saying the nautilus coils were great and tried and true since they’ve been out for forever.

I was going to buy a nano for mtl setup on a aegis single 18650

And a 3s for another single 18650 build for a more restricted dtl hit

How would these tanks compare to a xross 2 or Argus pod? Anyone currently running one and loving it? Anyone trash theirs after seeing the performance?

Like the idea of running the same brand coils and the ability to grab them anywhere, but I just read some people were having issues with the nautilus coils burning out or chugging liquid.

I don’t really like the idea of having to not use a liquid because of pg/vg ratio, I want to be able to pick any liquid up at a local retailer and run it.

Lastly, any recommendations for a: Mtl tank, Restricted dtl tank, And also A wide open dtl tank.

Does anyone else charge there box mod only by a 18650 charger?

So ever since I got my geekvape L 200 I’ve only ever charged it with a USB charger and then charge it in the 18 650 charger I never use a USB port do you guys think it’s better to do it that way because I am one of my old mods I only used to use the type C charger that it comes with and it used to get really hot

Vape juice

Vape is juice is very rare where im from, i got a couple of pre filled on and emptied them to fill the actual pods i use and they taste horrible. All flavours are harsh on the throat and i dont get any taste from them.
