We'll see about the Provari (mini). I finally caved and Proetus got me.

Yay! Good job sushi! Its so much easier w someone whose doing it too, and the ecigs. The other stuff just didn't work for me, these do, and he can learn from you.. eww learning from a fish, hmm.

It must be sooper sekrit ohmage.

Yeah, barely warm... At 2.8V, even using a 1.5 Ohm coil (lowest KPT2 factory coil resistance), that would equate to 5.2 Watts @ 1.9A... hardly enough to vaporize any ejuice, even if you held the button for a full 10-sec.

Yep, it has nothing to do with the length of the wick... sounds like your battery connection pin is pushed down (as Tam said) or the connection pin of the atomizer head is pushed in... or both... You can also check the center pin on your coil (head, atomizer, whatever you want to call it) and see if it is compressed against the rubber insulator. You can pull it out a TINY bit to make it reach the battery better, but be careful not to pull it too far. Either of these adjustments are MICRO adjustments... it doesn't take much.

I hear its a strawberry cream flavor.......so sad

Slotted shovel it is!

Yaaay! Got my shipped confirmation from Congrevape. My 10 TOBH Atty's are on their way! Should have them in next w/e when I get in!

Heldar...your my new friend! You're gonna fit in REAL nice around here. Lol

By all means, knock yourself out if that's what floats your boat. It'll hurt less if you're unconscious anyway.

LMAO!! I put on a shirt, It just didn't load yet

Well i honestly dont understand how someone can think its a good idea to use something as volatile and a li-ion or li-min battery that isnt protected pulling as much as 20 to 30 ohms. The things are quite literally explosions waiting to happen if you pull too many amps. I could maybe understand if there was a massive price difference, but hell, $12 versus $8 (at a local BM shop at that) isnt going to break anyones bank.

Go you! Boy, are you a breath of fresh air for someone new to vaping. I like how you roll.

they do...its a lounge. I know what its like, being a single father myself.

Welcome to Vapor Talk! And thank you for being safety conscious! There are a few of us here that can be pretty prickly about it. We have a hardware specific/rebuildables sub forum here, so feel free to post pics of your builds, ask questions, or give advice.

Got home and lubricated! (Bless you Glenlivet)! Just chilling out with my wife and dogs! Its overcast,humid and 72° here. Don't have to leave out till 3pm on Sunday. Just going to St Louis. 5hrs away

Whats and ohm, and why does it need to be read?? But seriously, its just not in the picture. Had it sitting on my work bench and just forgot to grab it.

But But Awwwwhhhh Man!

Dripping attys came in

Look I bought all these zip lock bags from Fadora And they came with free juice!

So my cousin has been trying to quit the stinkies for a while, cold turkey, chantix etc.... Failed everytime..... He's attempted twice since I started vapeing about 3 mos ago. I finaly convinced him to get a cheap evod starter kit and some liquid. Well, this afternoon will be his first vape experience! I realy hope he can stick with it. Fingers crossed he can finaly kick analogs!

I have to get the mod and atty buying thing in check!!!! Same thing with playing guitar. G.A.S...... .....Gear Acquisition Syndrome!!!!

Got my juice in from Seattlevaporco today. Grabbed 50mls each of: Orange Dreamsicle Ghostbuster Peppermint White Chocolate The Dreamsicle is the closest to the real thing I've vaped to date! If you're into orange Dreamsicle vapes, give this one a go! 5stars

just got an evod glass tank and got my mom a mini pro 3.

^^^That's the concern^^^

I honestly have not even tried one. I just do not see the reason to spend twice as much for coils that are going to use more liquid and there is nothing I am missing with my single coils. That combined with the fact that I do not try to stretch the life of a coil and change them probably more regularly than most makes it silly, imo, for me to even try one. I am at the point I am done trying stuff and know what I like.

This is where I got mine a long time ago. I assume they are the same http://www.gotvapes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=151_314&products_id=1891&zenid=bf4e1702fff8904183bae200d6bb4972

The MVP came with an iClear 30, which is in my box with "parts" right now. A buddy gave me two iClear 16's which came with whatever Innokin product he bought (might have been an MVP as well?), and I tried one of them... it was a lot like a Ce4 in flavor and vapor... and lots of heat..., but WOW, it rolled through the juice! I was not impressed with it... After I used it, I cleaned it and tossed it (and it's sister) in the "parts" box too... The only thing I like about the iClear 30 is the swivel drip-tip... but I can buy one of those for my Kanger tanks anytime I feel the need. Too bad the iClear drip-tips screw in... or I would have been using that tip on one of my KPT2's (yeah, I know you can get the adapter, but that's too much trouble, they look bulky/ugly, and I can get a whole drip-tip for about the same price as the adapter, probably cheaper)

Can you still buy the 2.5 replacement tanks? If so, where?

Take a look at the link. They now say 1.6 ml.

Mini aero tank? I love my mini Davide, a special friend gifted me one and I like it A lot! Use it more then any other.. great taste nice airflow and fits my vv/vw3 streamlined Oops vv/vw2 sorry but same thing

I would have to suggest the HH .357 cart. It's a little more expensive, but well worth it. If u clean it like ur supposed to it will last a long time. Also it would be great for trying flavors, as long as u hit it till it starts to get a little rough, then put some dif juice in, there is almost no flavor transfer.

Glv watermelon koolada its pretty good taste just like a watermelon jolly rancher. That mods out ta control could you imagine pulling that out at the bar or something.

Yes. I've learned by trial and error that I'm less about throat hit/harshness and more about pleasing flavors and adequate vapor production. But initially I went with the advice of the B&M where I started and took their advice that I would risk going back to analogs if I didn't start with tobacco flavor similar to my analog brand, serious throat hit and high nic. I struggled to stay vaping that first couple weeks. Don't know if it was cause the advice didn't fit my needs or just the regular trials and tribulations of the ex-smoking converted vaper. Probably a little of both. But I'm glad I stuck with it and have begun to find my sweet spot. Not totally there but a hell of a lot closer than I was 5-6 weeks ago.

Agreed, and did my research on that one too. Picked up two Sony vtc4 30A batteries before i even attempted to vape anything below 1 ohm.

I've been getting most of my hardware from kidney puncher. I'm really impressed with their willingness to walk me through my purchases. They are very knowledgable and patient, qualities in demand for a guy that has a LOT of questions. That drip shield came in a kidney punche package called "drippers delight". Two LR 1.5 ohm attys, drip shield, drip tip, and 510-510 adapter. Tam recommended Empire Mods and a guy named Keith. I think he owns the place. He may be a fabulous representative of the company but the girl i spoke with didn't have answers to my questions ("uh, I'm pretty sure that will work") and she seemed to get kinda annoyed with all the questions I had.

VTR will be my next big purchase!

LOL, if I'm lucky

itaste 2 my first device

Enjoy your weekend and much deserved rest, Josh.

Ummm Ok *Grabs a knife and starts cutting up the cake that was just frosted. NICE!

The girth, err diameter, matches up with the base, so it's all uniform. It's shiny, so I may have to give it a good polishing once to a few times a week, depending on my mood. Wait, what are we talking about again???

I made a little space on ONE shelf for a few e-juice bottles, spare tanks, box of coils... that was two months ago! Today, that whole shelf is just for e-juice, spare bottles, and mixing/measuring equipment! We won't discuss the OTHER TWO shelves I've saved a ton over analogs, but pretty sure I'm making up for it right now in "hobby accessories", lol (and want MORE!!)

deff way normal...if you drop an entire pay check on hardware then maybe you need dr.Phil or something

Pfft sound normal to me..

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I'm always looking for a "simple solution", lol Jerry, I found a "simple solution" to my tanks too... I used the same hole-saw (without the pilot drill-bit) to cut four more 2" rounds out of that thin, scrap, pine board. I drilled three holes (just slightly larger than the 510 connection, in a centered, triangle pattern) in two of the rounds, then glued them onto one of the "solid" rounds. I did it this way so I would not have to "measure" the depth of each hole, and the solid piece underneath will contain any drips or leakage (protecting my desktop)... yeah, it was the lazy way Each one holds 3-tanks, keeps them upright, they rest on their bases (not the 510 connection) and unless they get bumped hard, they don't fall over. I may make a few more like this to hold my mini tanks and drip-tips, too. They're small, and sit perfectly on my desk in front of my monitor so I always have a few tanks within easy reach! I didn't even bother to stain them...

I make every bottle as it is ordered to the customers specific PG/VG ratio and NIC strength. I could not offer it as I do if I were bound to pre steeping the liquid. I would have to make it in advance and could not do the custom PG/VG or NIC strength.

Stringdancer, that was one of the BEST, if not THE best posts Ive read since being a member here. I have read it twice now, and cant find one point I dont agree with. The governments justification for banning these products IS ridiculous, and is based on greed not need. There was a thing on Fox news today about a product coming out that helps parents "monitor" where theier teenage children are, to help them keep an eye on them. Right there is a problem. We DONT need products to do the parenting for us, we need PARENTS to take responsibility. My father knew where I was damn near all the time, and I knew the thundering hand of God was coming down if I stepped out of line. Not in an abusive way, in an authoritative way. The man LOVED me and i loved him back and I NEVER got what I didnt deserve. Im getting a little off track here, but it starts somewhere, and this is one area. The spare the rod mentality. The "It takes a village to raise a child" mentality. It doesnt take a village, it takes a parent. And we need to stop infringing on everyones rights in essence to make it easier for someone else to cope with parenthood. Flavors and bells and whistles dont make akid go astray. Non supervision does.

A great thread here. Now, I'm all for safety, and feel the FDA should get off its butt and begin scientific, non-biased studies of ecigs. I'm not interested in the typical "study" paid for by corporate interests on either side of the ecig fence... I'd like to see real research NOT driven by market agendas. Packaging can be managed, as Chris has done with the child-proof caps. But there is only so much a manufacturer can do to ensure safety when dealing with a potentially toxic product. Just because e-juice holds the potential of poisoning a person or pet does not mean it shouldn't be sold, and is no justification for keeping it off the market. Were that the case, then we shouldn't have access to many household, garage and industrial products either, which is clearly absurd and way too "nanny-state" for me. As for nicotine itself... well, I'm on the side of personal liberty here. Adults are responsible for their choices, and if they want to smoke, it's their funeral. If vapers want to continue vaping and NOT use ecigs as a cessation path, it's their choice as well. Nicotine is often likened to caffeine in terms of negative health effects. Simply changing the delivery system for nicotine from burning leaves to something as benign (we assume) as vaping is a giant step forward in and of itself (based on all available data and vaper testimonials). Common sense tells us (well... me, anyway) that vaping is less harmful by orders of magnitude. Unless and until real data surfaces to suggest otherwise, I personally have no problem with substituting vaping for smoking and feeling pretty good about it. Coffee drinkers, alcohol drinkers, drug users, food addicts (addicts of every stripe, for that matter) make their choices and must deal with the consequences, and I would argue that the government should have no say in those choices. Prohibition should have taught us that personal behavior can only be encouraged, not mandated and controlled by legislation (no matter how well-intended), because such hard-fisted attempts at social control simply don't work, and is counter to the concept of personal liberty and subsequent responsibility. We are constantly being told what to do, but much less emphasis is placed on why we should do it. If but a fraction of the money spent on the so-called "war on drugs" had been spent on comprehensive, un-biased education of our youth on the science and traditional uses of various substances, on the cultural backdrop of the peoples who have used substances (I'm thinking specifically of Native American substance use and the accompanying spiritual ceremony here), we would have much less of a drug problem today. Native Americans used substances for specific reasons, at specified times, with specific ceremony and meaning infused into the practice. Such conscious and purposeful use of substances has all but disappeared. Back in the 60s and early 70s, the reasons behind why hippies used various drugs were entirely different than the what-the-hell party atmosphere we see today. There's such a thing as responsible, purposeful substance use, and then there's drug abuse. I may take some flack for that stand, but I was there, and I've seen the degrading cultural milieu surrounding the use of substances over the years first-hand. It didn't have to be that way, but the government's "do what we say but we won't educate you as to why you should do it" approach has only led to further inappropriate use of substances. Again... education is the answer, not legislation. Perhaps that rant seems a bit off-topic, but I'm inclined to say it isn't. What is true of our dysfunctional approach to substance use is certainly true of our similarly bone-headed approach to cigarettes and tobacco use generally. That's enough for now. I'm spent. lol
