I’ve got a new page over to the left under Information.  It’s called “FROM THE CHAIR”.   Check it out.  Your comments are welcome.

I’ll be on ModEnvy tonight from 11PM till 12:30AM.  And I know this for a fact because Nitro keeps reminding me every 10 minutes.  🙂 Hope to “see” you there.

A PBusardo Review – Smoktech RDA & Micro Coils!

In this video we talk about the Smoktech RDA and I have my first go at “Micro Coils” using an organic cotton ball wick.

Post Review Follow-up::

• 9/14/13 – Based on the YouTube comments, the biggest blunder in this video was an omission of the following step.  The coils need to be held together with tweezers or a needle nose then fired or torched so they maintain the tight coil.  Thanks to everyone who posted that and all the other tips!
• 9/14/13 – This was called the “Mini” RDA in the video.  I now believe it’s the just the RDA, not the mini.  The correct price on the MyVaporStore website is $9.25.

LUCKILY it was only the box it came in that was crushed!

Have a first look at the Wizard Evolved by Mark Bugs below… a very impressive… and expensive piece.

And before you ask… yes, both the Wizard Evolved and the Cyborg have 18650s in them in the comparison photo.

A PBusardo Review – The Ithaka

In this video I answer a few questions I got about the Innokin iTaste MVP review and we take a look at the Ithaka RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer).

Materials used for this build:

34 gauge Kanthal resistance wire (eBay) – 1.3 inches for this build
32 gauge Nickel no-resistance wire (eBay)
Organic Cotton Hemp Wick

Post Review Follow-up::

• 9/13/13 – I got the positive/negative totally ass backwards in this review. I made annotations to the video. It’s just a wording issue.  The build you see if correct. Oh well, I’m only near perfect. 🙂
• 9/13/13 – The cotton wick you see in the build is performing REALLY well. Really nice vape. If only this were a little easier to build.

As you already probably know, we’re seeing more and more articles in the news about electronic cigarettes.

Here’s yet another.

What did I get from this one?

Drexel University professor Igor Burstyn concludes “current data do not indicate that exposures to vapors from contaminants in electronic cigarettes warrant a concern.”

In plain language, Burstyn concludes: “It’s about as harmless as you can get.”

“I wouldn’t worry at all if someone was smoking one of these by my kids,” Burstyn said. “From a pure health perspective, these are not as bad as a cigarette.”

🙂

I’ll try to post more articles here as I come across them.

The Post Review Follow-Up:

• 9/12/13 – Someone asked me if it still wobbles.  Yes, it does slightly.  Looks like it’s still caused by the on/off switch to the power output.  Which is too bad because my 1.5 doesn’t have any wobble at all.  Add this to the thumbs down.
• 9/12/13 – Someone asked me what the pressure was to push in the 1.0/1.5 button.  Very similar to the other devices I tried.   Around 1 lb of pressure according to the gauge.
• 9/12/13 – Someone asked me what the mAh rating is on the Samsung battery that I charged off the MVP.  Also a 2600 mAh battery.
• 9/12/13 – I never mentioned the inability to adjust DOWN as a thumbs down.  Let’s add that to the list as well.  It’s not a big deal in VW as there are so few settings, but if you’re at 5V and you wan to go to 4.9V, it is a bit of a pain.
• 9/13/13 – I’ve heard from Innokin that the “stiff button” was limited to the first 200 production units.  UGH!!  I’ve requested another unit to see if I can validate this claim.
• 9/13/13 – In looking over the voltage charts based on a comment from a YouTube subscriber, I noticed that the unit fires high in some cases in VW due to it’s minimum voltage setting of 3.3 volts which it can’t go below.  So this is a device limitation and may not be “flaky wattage numbers”.  Let’s see how the new button feels and perhaps we can move this device to the “thumbs up” category.
• 10/22/13 – I’m beginning to hear complaints that the center post on this device is too low.  I’ve recently experienced that myself when screwing things down on it.  Innokin is looking into it.  Be aware!!
