I Quit Smoking!!!!!

Yeah, that is the way it's supposed to be. But it's not and I have no damn idea what is going on. This site is getting over a million hits a month, and it's only making about a dollar a day. I have looked all over the server, looked at every piece of code, replaced code thinking it was outdated, and nothing works. Not sure what is going on.

I think I'd be contacting the tech support for the banner ads you are using... After all it is also in their own best interest to find out what is happening so they also don't loose a possible source of income.

 

[Tony]

It's through google adsense. I will contact them, but I'm sure they could give two craps about a site this small...

 

[pvolcko]

Does adsense offer and way to see how many views/links your site generated? Maybe a cert expired? Just spit balling.

 

[RandyDSok]

Just to go back on-topic real quick...

I ordered myself a Magma RBA clone by Infinite... Should be here about Monday.

Single or Dual coil setup... single or dual air flow adjustment... @ 1ml capacity... no o-rings... all stainless

I've been looking for an adjustable air flow dripper that supports single coils for a while. This one reportedly tastes as good or better than a Kayfun RDA tank. Depending on how true I find those statements... it may replace my IGO-L as my goto dripper.

I'd suspect their support is paid by the hour... they probably could care less if you are a big or little site and a smaller site may make it easier for them to find the issue.

Oh man, I have been wanting to order the magma for a while now. Amazing flavor is what I hear. With teh air coming right under the coil, and those HUGE ASS juice wells lol. However, if you were looking for a great single coil RDA, you should check out the Zenith. That is what I'm using on top of my Stingray mod and this thing hits like a monster. I need to rebuild it, but it's still hitting GREAT.

I love my KayFun as well, but It's not my favorite. I think the stingray, when teh button doesn't stick and the Zenith are my favorites. Second is going to be my Nemisis with the Stillare RDA. But my Pegasus with the copper Tobh hits great as well, just has reduced airflow with the 3 round holes rather than the single cyclops air hole that the stillare and Zenith have.

I did some checking and so far, I'm not seeing anything that could hurt the site. But, I have made some changes and we will see how they work. Only time will tell. Here's hoping.

It isn't the mod that makes the vape... its the coil and atomizer. A 10w or 20w or 30w vape is the same on any mod ( or whatever your preferred power output ) whether it's a mech or a regulated mod. Our next advances are all going to be in the types of coils and atomizers that we choose.

The early VV/VW mods are/were amp limited so trying to push the wattage ( power ) up would mean you'd soon reach the amp limit of the device. This is where the good mech mod's came in since they didn't have a that limit but they had to rely on sub-ohming to get there since they have no way to boost the output from the battery.

The newer regulated mods with their high output and increased amp limits have effectively taken away the earlier advantage that a mech mod had AND they don't have to rely on a sub-ohm coil to do it which makes them more efficient than a mech can be... Since they can now easily reach the wattage outputs that a mech with a sub-ohm coil had using any resistance they wish... they can do it with coils that have more surface area which then increases the saturation of the flavor and the vapor.

Sub-ohming only became popular because the earlier regulated mods couldn't handle higher amperage loads that a good mech mod could to achieve the power output vapors were after. The newer regulated mods now have a higher enough amp limit that now the next step you'll see taken ( in fact it's already happening ) is that we'll move to coils with larger surface areas... which leads to a more saturated flavor and more vapor production. Because we'll be increasing the surface areas on the coils, the resistance will again naturally rise.

The next step we will see introduced mod-wise will be the induction heating which is just about to be released. Currently on our kitchen stoves... the induction stoves have almost become as efficient as natural gas. So time will tell if the same holds true with a smaller form factor that a mod has. The big obstacle that I suspect we'll see with induction is the cost of making an efficient coil and if that can be done by hand or not ( which helps keep costs down of course ).

BTW.... the Magma clone I got... was only $32. I didn't go with the lowest cost ones because they have a lot of quality control issues being reported. Still... it was a decent enough price I felt that it was worth it. The fancier ones that also had copper or brass... or the all black version were a couple of bucks higher. I just went with all stainless since it matches my current Vamo v5 nicely.

I have no idea where all of that came from. I was just giving my opinion on the Zenith adn the fact that you could single it as well as dual. Would also look great on teh Vamo.

Really didn't come from anything... just talking about what makes a good vape which led to where I thought things were going... basically just chit chat I guess.

Of course I'll check out the Zenith... but considering that the Magma ( and clones ) also do single or duel coils also... I'm not sure if I'll get one or not

 

[Tony]

If that Magma is what it's supposed to be, it could be your last RDA. Well, until you get bored lol.

I finally got my Infinite clone of the Magma RDA in ( it was delayed due to the hurricane that hit Hawaii )...


This thing does kick butt... In fact, it's giving me a nic buzz using only 6mg e-liquid and I don't even have it setup for as much vapor as I could have... I may have to start ordering lower nic just for the Magma clone...

The build quality of the Infinite Magma RDA is excellent. Threading on the posts, 510 connector and the main barrel are all silky smooth. I've had clones of others that were just cheap junk... no so with the Infinite, it's well made. The original ones that Infinite made had one post hole slightly offset higher than the real Magma, that has now been changed and they are at the same height now. I'm not sure if that is a plus or not since the coil wires will come off the top on one side and the bottom on the other... but I suspect people will complain less about it.

A quick comparison with the IGO-L ... I had drilled out the air hole on the IGO-L to 1/16" ( ~ 1.5+mm ), the Magma has 1mm, 2mm and 3mm air holes to select from. I've been vaping one of my e-liquids at 6.5w in the IGO-L... dropped it down to 6w and ended up selecting the 1mm air hole instead of the 2mm in order to keep from coughing my head off from the intensity of the vapor/flavor etc. Both are setup using the same style of coil and wick... 1.8Ω using 30ga kanthal as a micro-coil with 2mm silica wick. The wick is about 1/2 again longer in the Magma compared to the IGO-L due to the deeper juice well.

The flavor is not only bolder... but also deeper/darker, ie more bassy of a flavor note. I believe the brighter flavor notes may be muted a little bit but I may not have mixed this juice identical to the last time I had vaped it in the IGO-L... so that remains to be seen. I'm mixing in the dripper mostly MyVapeJuice's Centurion with a little bit of Naturally-Extracted-Tobacco.com's Blackberry Burley to add a bit darker flavor as well as a hint of fruit to it.

Sexy biotch right there.

Sexy biotch right there.

You know you want it...

A friend on another forum is getting the Tobeca version, probably tomorrow since he's getting it from the same place and it shipped a day later... It's $10 less than the Infinite brand... I've read a few bad reviews on the quality of it's threads but I didn't pay attention to the date of the posts... so we'll find out if that has been addressed now or not.

 

[Tony]

You damn right I want it!!! I have wanted this thing since I found out about it about a month or so ago! lol. Just don't have the money for it.

Hey, are you flying anywhere? Really itching to fly something...

Na...

I haven't flown in about 2 years now... also a money issue.

I know that feeling. And that sucks. Hows the computer business going? Still have it? I know, off topic lmao.

The computer biz is still going... just not as much as I'd care for

Ok... Tobeco clone of the Magma RDA.

The other guy that ordered the Tobeco at about the same time as I did the Infinite clone... got his today. He said all of his threading and everything was in good nick and he was impressed with it. So I did a quick search to see if I could find a cheaper source ( not that the $22 wasn't already good ) and I end up finding yet another post that was just 3 days old complaining about the burrs and messed up air ports that they found on the one they just got.

So it's possible to get a good Tobeco... but it seems to be a gamble and not one I'd risk saving the $10 difference between it an the Infinite branded one. I have yet to find a complaint on the Infinite Magma ... which is also a little odd, it seems someone always complains somewhere.

 

[Tony]

Yup, there is always at least one hater out there lol. Glad both of you are liking them. Now, put it on a mod and toke that thing RIGHT!!! I'm talking dual nano's running <.10!!!!!! I want to see vape porn from that thing!!!!

LMAO...

You know notin... flavor over vapor you cloud chaser....

Seriously... it isn't about low resistance EXCEPT on a mech mod that can't dial up the power and has to drop the resistance to do it... It's about surface area and how many watts you are putting into it. Spread the heat over a larger area... should give both more flavor and vapor without burning the juice.

The Vamo's and such don't support sub-ohms or high wattages. This was where the mech mods came in. The pitfall of the mech mods are having to manually adjust the power with the resistance of the coil being used AS well as have the power drop as the battery drained.

The new 20w, 30w and/or 50w VV/VW mod's they are now coming out with are where I think we'll be going. They aren't there yet ( the new Provari P3 they are about to release may be really close though for a 20w unit ). The need to address/support the lower ohms better than they are now and also the lower wattage/voltage as well. If they do, they will cover new vapors and heavy hitters as well as the cloud chasers.

Also seriously... I've smoked far to long to be able to take a strong/thick hit without choking. I do put out more vapor than say smoke with an analog FWIW


See there ya go again... getting me worked up talking about cool stuff when I just started out wanting to joke around with ya... It doesn't take much to get me going LMAO
