    Introducing the Darth Vaper

    Its 4 parallel 18650s in a hammond box. People on youtube send me messages to build them one of these all the time. There is definitely a market for it.

    RDA best flavour rdas single and dual coil

    no, you need much higher guage to wrap around. I often do fused claptons was parallel strands of 22g nichrome, wrapped with 34g kanthal. The wiring you are using to wrap should have much higher resistance than the core wires. The wrapping wire is not meant to function electrically. It just...

    ABout mesh

    I have done a few mesh builds, but prefer the flavor I get from using organic cotton.

    How hard do you push your Samsung batteries?

    I am saying that yes, CDR is 'continuous discharge rating', meaning it is pulling those amps continuously for the whole charge cycle of the battery, with no breaks. So, yes, if you have a way to keep that battery cooler, maybe by not doing it continuously, the battery can function just fine...

    How hard do you push your Samsung batteries?

    I usually use dual battery mechs and almost always build below .2, sometimes slightly below .1 even. With a single battery I will sometimes keep it around .21 (20 amps), unless I feel like doing lower, in which case I might put a .15 on there without thinking twice... the battery won't last...

    Do RDAs have an expiration date?

    I think tanks are inconvenient. I can't take it apart without figuring out what to do with a tank full of juice. I can't easily switch flavors when I feel like it. There is a tank full of juice that can leak if not placed down correctly. There is often glass that can break. There is a smaller...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    I really only got into this thread because I didn't think there were enough true comments about the limitations of a device like a ProVari. I normally don't even post on the ProVari threads, but this was started by a new member and about the first 10 pages are just from people who are proud...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    So yes, for some people a 15 year old laptop works just great, even if the manufacturer no longer supports it and the software no longer updates. At least it works. But there is a majority of people who like to try newer things with newer ideas and newer options.

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    The ProVari is not a mech mod. It does have firmware. And it is outdated. Just like a Nokia from 1990. Even if it still can make calls, it doesn't have the options to do what people desire in today's time.

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    Well you are defninately not a newb, and your builds are fantastic. But I didn't say that about anyone. I said that the ProVari is designed for simple builds. Right now, the two RDAs I am vaping are: 1. a Velocity with dual fused claptons, both are 2 24g nichrome wires wrapped with 34g...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    OK, I didn't know you don't have it right now. Are you suggesting that for vapers who like to do these kinds of builds that the ProVari is a great device for them to use?

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    Its a cool coil, I have never done anything like that. But I still can't believe that 15 watts is going to heat that coil.... unless you hold the fire button for about half a minute. It goes against the principles of a ProVari. A simple mod for simple things.

    What i meant was a picture of that heating up on your ProVari.

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    I can't imagine a build like this working well. Pictures or it didn't happen. Regardless, the point was that the ProVari isn't designed for this kind of thing. Thats not what ProVape made it for. I am not sure how you can deny this. It's like saying that I put something like a tri-coil RDA...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    Some are probably overrated, but thats one reason why I only use mods without power ratings.

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    And because I was referring to builds using more components and expressly said that there is nothing difficult to understand, I was obviously using the first listed definition of the word, in context. I think that people know what I meant and are simply giving me a hard time because I refuse...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    The point is not that more-complicated = better. Only that some hobbyists like to try lots of new things, including these complicated builds. Why? Because it is fun and because we can. And sometimes we find some very different and unique ways to vape. There are many options that anyone can...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    I don't think I ever said anything like this. I said that many hobbyists try builds with more wires or more intricacies that make the power limitation of a ProVari difficult to work with. ETA: I guess I did say that a ProVari is for beginner-level builders, which is true. But there are many...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    English IS my first language. And complicated can mean either/or. "Difficult to understand" is a second alternate definition for the word. But the first listed definition is that of combined parts. eg: if you have two recipes, the one with more ingredients is more complicated. My wife is...

    Your Opinions On Provari?

    @Alien Traveler , I am not sure if English is your first language, but this is what 'complicated' means. Something with more parts is more complicated than something with fewer parts. This is the definition of the word. so, yes, something like two small wires with another wire wrapped around...
