My first e-pipe a instructional guide

[kockeyedkitty]

The tank she has uses a 0.5 ohm stainless coil Brenda can up this to a 1.2ohm but stainless is the key IMO I know people like nichrome coils but I can’t shake that chrome aspect I’ve worked with nickle chromium plated stuff is like watching hell the plating plants will eat through wood metal and some plastics it is really nasty stuff

Thanks for the info on the ohms and the advice on the nickle

Edit

And thank you @Jon The Vape for the info on the batteries!!
Haven't found the Exocells for US shipping but was shown where I could get the Vapcell with US shipping so will go with them
Thank you!!

Sorry took me so long to reply
Was at Mass

imagine the situation you have an e-pipe or a mod and your not sure if it's ok to use, most of the time its a 'no' to be safe, but there is a test

there are only certain mods you can do this with it's down to the battery cap

now follow this carefully

tube with the negative end showing it would be the same if the positive end is showing

bring in the battery cap near the mod don't screw it on

now touch the the cap to the edge of the mod and touch the terminal on the battery if you have a failed board a short etc you will see a tiny blue sparks this means you have a dead short as you have completed the circuit so in effect this means the mod is a bomb the battery will start to heat up and discharge

its a test the last safety test without ohm meters and being sensible I expect you will never see it but if you do DONT use the mod

So if it does this how do i get it fixed?

Edit:
I gather I can't fix something like that myself.
Would I be able to ship it back to you @vapesmarter
I don't think I would trust anyone else to mess with your work Stu

I would just say, that when not using the epipe, be sure to remove the battery for safety's sake.

It won’t happen it’s a general tip

But yes all my mods are covered by a warrantee and beyond I have had one back 3 times for board upgrades from a dna75 to a 75c to a yihi sx485j
