“One’s too many, ten’s not enough!”
It’s a line from a Pop Will Eat Itself song that a mate of mine had as the signature to his emails for years. Given PWEI’s predilection for appropriating popular culture (as well as samples from other songs) into their songs it has always bothered me. I needed to know what it meant, I think I do now.
The fashion for sub-ohm vaping continues to flourish within the vaping community and so for those of you starting out here is a beginner’s guide. Those who chase big clouds at low ohms need to know to do so safely and is only recommended for experienced vapers who are not new to coiling drippers.
Firstly, sub-ohm vaping can be dangerous.
You need to be able to use Ohm’s Law, accurately measure the resistance of your coils, appreciate how coils work when placed in parallel and know what maximum constant current your battery can cope with. Also the juice you use ought to be tailored for very low resistances.
Up popped a picture today. I was sitting writing some nonsense and the computer made that noise computers do when they want your attention. Rob had clicked ‘like’ on a picture I’d edited from a picture he’d posted. I’d liked his picture too.
Those are moments when I love computers, an interaction with someone in a different part of the country. We shared a mutual moment in a cloud of data. We briefly connected. No harm done…and yet…I felt a movement in The Force.
“What’s a hotspot not?”
Ahh, who doesn’t look back fondly remembering those times when Michael Barrymore was nothing more than a genial host, in front of a bank of television sets, asking obvious quiz questions to people who seemed to be out on day release?
“It’s not a good spot,” replied the audience. If any one knew where a good spot was in those days it was the British public because we were a generation raised on public information films.
We knew where not to fly a kite, we knew the dangers lurking in watery depths and we knew to be extra safe when crossing the road with Darth Vader. Public information films educated us all to know where our children were at night as they had taught us how to protect ourselves against an imminent cold war nuclear bomb.

DRAMA…………
…..isn’t here, but we’ve plenty of things worth getting yourself indignantly over excited about. Many folk were mortified at the bare faced nerve we had to offer you a 33% discount on our wire reels, but we didn’t care. We were even less bothered about what people thought when we hit you with a cynical cash grab 15% discount on Evolv DNA Boards. And now we’re about to something else as equally irksome and daft.
So prepare yourselves for some awesome lack of innovation followers of fashion! This one is almost as good as a pod. We’re going to completely and totally surprise you by giving you a total slap in the expectations. You’re going to feel as cheap and dirty as our idea.
Ready for it?
Which is Best: Silver, Silver plated, or Copper Contacts?
We get asked this a lot. And there’s always one answer: “That would depend….”
Each material has its benefits, and also its drawbacks. Selecting which to use in your device can depend upon several key factors, and depending upon which factor you wish to prioritise, the answer to the question “Which is the best contact for my mod?” will vary.
What is TCR or Temperature Coefficient of Resistance?
Every wire material has a specific resistivity. As a wire heats up, its resistance will increase in a predictable way based on its TCR.
TCR for a material is usually measured by the wire manufacturer using MIL-STD-202 Method 304, which uses a series of test temperatures. The first series is 25°, 0°, -15°, and -55°C; the second series are 25°, 50°,75°, 100°, 125°, 200°, 275°, and 350°C. The lowest test temperature in the first series, and the highest test temperature in the second series, are used as two points to create a linear TCR value.
We’re very sorry to see an announcement posted on UK VapeFest’s official facebook page that what would have been the 10th event, VapeFest 2019 event will not be happening.
When Ric, Vapefest’s previous organiser stepped down after the 2018 event the committee vowed to “build upon the legacy and bring more UK Vapefests for the vaping community to enjoy” in their announcement shortly after VapeFest 2018 it seems that wasn’t possible.
We are delighted to announce that Stealthvape is now the official Evolv and Lost Vape Service Centre for Europe and the Rest Of the World outside of the U.S.A.
We have been working closely with the two companies to be able to offer a comprehensive warranty repair and RMA service to modders and individual consumers. We are extremely proud to be a part of this initiative and shall be delivering the outstanding standards of customer care Stealthvape is renowned for.
