TAKE A LOOK – ATLANTIS TEMPERATURE CONTROL COIL HEADS FROM VAPORSHARK
ATLANTIS TEMPERATURE CONTROL COIL HEADS FROM VAPORSHARK
Vaporshark is now carrying NI200 Temp Control Coil Heads for the Aspire Atlantis. They’re .15 ohms. And before you ask… YES, they work with the Atlantis 2 as well. I know, I’m using one as I type this. Well, not AS I type this because then I’d be typing with one finger which would be entirely inefficient, but you know what I mean. 🙂
TAKE A LOOK – THE COILMASTER DIY KIT
Take a look at the new CoilMaster DIY Kit available for pre-order now from their site. It gives you everything you need for rebuilding minus your wick and wire.
Not sure I would have called it a DIY kit as DIY is typically reserved for making your own liquids.
The kit includes:
- Wire cutters
- Needle nose pliers
- Ceramic tweezers
- Micro screwdriver kit
- Curved tweezers
- Scissors
- Ohm reader (to two decimal places)
- Plastic storage box
- CoilMaster coiling kit
It all comes in a handsome zippered storage box.
Will We Be Our Own Downfall? FROM ECIG ADVANCED
I really enjoyed this post from ECIG ADVANCED, “Will We Be Our Own Downfall” because it re-states something I’ve been saying for some time. We’re becoming our own worst enemy.
You see, I personally don’t care how you vape. I don’t care what you vape. I do care that you do it safely and I mostly care that you’re not smoking anymore.
But we are in a very delicate time. Our actions, how we portray ourselves, the community, and the vaping industry as a whole are currently under a microscope by those on the outside looking in.
It would be wonderful if we lived in a world where we don’t give a fuck about what they think, and maybe we’ll get to that time, but right now, that’s simply not the case.
It’s those very people who are trying to regulate us out of existence.
I’ve seen a couple things that really bothered me this week. And I’m not sure who to feel more bad for… us as a community, or the people who fight on our behalf in the world of advocacy every day. What are those things?
Liquids in these bottles…
And then this site:
I feel horrible when Advocates see this kind of thing. The response is typical. Their eyes close, their heads fall, and they shake slowly back and forth. All that work to fight for our rights and telling people we don’t market to minors and then this from within our own community.
If you don’t think this type of thing will be used against us…
Well, you get the idea.
Image is really important right now folks. Just something to think about.
THE SX-MINI M-CLASS BY YIHI REVIEW
A PBusardo Review – SX Mini M Class Part 1 & 2
In Part 1 we talk about temp control, some of me experiences with it, take a look at the SX-Mini M-Class top to bottom and compare it to the original, see the differences in the menu, and briefly discuss the numbers and signal for wattage mode. We then kick off looking at the device in temp mode with a discussion about Joules. Ahhhh the Joules!!!
In Part 2 we see just how the SX-Mini M-Class is doing temp limiting as compared to the DNA-40 and do our thumbs up and down.
We also announce the winner of the last contest.

The Post-Review Follow-up:
- I tried to make it evident in the video that the tech itself is having a hard time with the different static resistances of different attys which is causing temperature A not be temperature A on atty B. 🙂 I agree it wasn’t well stated. So yes, I’m well aware that it’s the inherent static resistances of different attys which is causing the need for substantially different temperature settings.
- I used the term PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) in the video. A more accurate term would have been PFM (Pulse Frequency Modulation). I’ll be sure to use this term in the future. The old dog can learn new tricks. Thanks to everyone who pointed this out for me!
- The section of me weighing the device on video made the cutting room floor. This is what happens when you’re editing at 4AM. 🙂 The original SX-Mini w/battery is 195.7 grams. The M-Class w/battery is 264.7 grams.
- Someone pointed out something in the YouTube comments and I agree. Another thumbs up with this device, especially as I begin to look at more temp limiting devices, is the recommended resistance for a temp control coil of .065 Ohms. This is a much more realistic resistance to work with when using NI200. due to it’s extremely low resistance. In other words, I don’t have to do a 30 wrap coil. 🙂
- Thanks for all the questions and comments. I’ll do my best to answer them all.

INNOKIN ANNOUNCES PYREX ISUB TANKS & HINTS AT THE MVP3PRO…
Let’s just hope they fix up those heads and get them ready for prime time!!
The iSub Pyrex Glass Tank – the iSub-G and iSubPro are made with high quality Pyrex Glass and is also packaged with two 0.5 Ohm iSub Coils made with 100% Japanese Organic cotton to deliver awesome clouds and pure flavor. The iSub Glass tanks will be available soon at Authorized Innokin Technology Vendors .
The Innokin iSub works best at between 25 – 35 Watts and vapes perfectly with the MVP3.0 and the upcoming CoolFire4 and MVP3Pro.
ATTACK OF THE SUB-OHM TANKS + NEW CONTEST
A PBusardo Review & Contest – Some Sub Ohm Tanks
Sorry, some of the audio is over-driven in this video.
In this video we get into and take a look at several different sub-ohm tanks currently on the market including:
- The Aspire Atlantis 2
- The Eleaf Lemo
- The FreeMax Starre
- The Horizon Tech Arctic
- The Innokin iSub
- The Smok VCT
- The Smok VCT-Pro
Is this all of the sub-ohm tanks currently on the market? No. And as I type this I’m sure another 10 of them have been released.
We wrap it all up up with a new contest.
From Dr. Farsalinos…
If you consider that a regular vaper consumes on average 4mL per day, the 20 or 30mL range can only be characterized as extreme. And as everything extreme, it cannot be good. Imagine someone drinking half gallon of water and another drinking 10 times that. Water is good, but not at quantities 10 times higher than average!!!
The reasons are many: flavors have unknown properties when inhaled, even VG and PG have unknown properties when inhaled on a daily basis. At low quantities we expect the risk to be minimal, but 20 or 30mLs are extreme quantities and we do not know what will happen. We always say that it is not the chemical but the amount that defines toxicity. I consider vaping 30mL per day an extreme amount. It is definitely much worse than vaping 4mL per day.
We know that e-cigarettes contain few toxic chemicals. The more you vape, the more you get.
If you remember, i told you during our meeting that subohm vaping concerns me not because of the high wattage but because i have not seen anyone doing subohm and consuming less than 10mL of liquid.
Taking the opportunity, i will make my first aldehyde measurements at subohm vaping in early May.
