    2.5 or 2.0ohm for regular 510?

    ...Just checking in.. I'll be back (probably tomorrow) to get in here and help where I can.. Unfortunately, I'm in the midst of traveling for work. Coming home to California (woohoo!) after a stint in Milwaukee, then New Orleans (WooHoo!!) Finally just got home a few minutes ago (literally)...

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    Im sorry about that.. I meant standard size.. But the included cap is indeed gold, like the mod. I just had to wait a bit for mine as I guess they didnt have any in-stock..

    Anyone know the tread size

    Well, I get .807" Maj. OD on the male threads, but that falls right between 3/4" and 7/8" Perhaps 13/16th? Pitch seems to mesh with x-32 bolts, so my best guess is its a 13/16-32 thread. edit: But these things are cut on a lathe, as it seems, so the thread could be entirely custom dia...

    It was wonderful...just wonderful

    I travel.. .. A lot.. I always go out to the outdoors smokers area to vape. I don't know if I have to, but frankly with airport security as uptight as they are, I don't mind paying 'pennance' by having to do another trip through security to get back to my gate. So far, I think theres once...

    Fact or Fiction

    Ah. okay.. Got it now.. Thanks. :) I wonder how the logic functions.. If it takes a last known reading of atty resistance, or if it dynamicaly updates current limit as the nichrome heats up, or changes over time. If the circuitry in our ProVaris is that smart, it seems to me like it...

    Fact or Fiction

    Its my understanding the V2 has a 3.5A limit up to 4.2V, then its pretty much business as usual (as far as the 2.5A limit) like the V1 from 4.3 volts on.. The extended amperage range in the low end of the voltages comes in handy on LR and really LR loads..

    Hate the Provari

    Being a geek myself, and an avid Linux user, I see the same "Us vs. Them" mentality in the windows / mac Vs. linux debates. Its unfortunate, as no one wins. I just bought a LavaTube, to see what they're all about. They seem perfectly capable, and if the quality is anything more than subpar, I...

    Looking for advice and/or opinions

    Perhaps theres just not enough Nicotine in your juice? If you're vaping 12, try 16, or 18mg/mL.. If you're vaping 18, give 24 a try. That could be a cheap way to get the satisfaction you're looking for, if not, VV mods are a great option.. The Lavatube is a fine VV device for the price. The...

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    According to ProVape, its 24K gold plating. :)

    Hate the Provari

    I agree, the atty / carto is ultimately responsible for the quality of the vape, but variations in production lead to attys / cartos with different resistances, and attributes.. Not to mention that every vaper, and every juice has a different "sweet spot" The provari can hit any of 'em. (sweet...

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    Naw.. It just comes with a regular 18490 cap.. It actually doesn't look half bad tho, with the top, and bottom caps being stainless, and gold in-between.

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    Holy Carp.. That sounds like an awesome idea! You might think about making a thread, and posting pics and info, as I'll bet theres those here that would find that very cool, and maybe even want something for their very own ;)

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    Hmm.. It seems the forum software re-sized the photos, and made them blurrier than they are..

    I Promised Gold Provari Pics....

    So, the (included) Extension cap I was waiting for, came today.. Here's a couple quick shots.. Its hard to photograph shiny gold, its a real challenge to set it up just right, as the surface reflects *everything* and any subtle imperfection that you cant even really see with your own eyes...

    Package Description for ProVari/ProVari Mini

    I'm kind of scratching my head about what you're asking too.. Theres a lot of info about what the ProVari is, and what it does on the ProVape website.. As far as the device itself, as far as I know, and can tell, its machined from stainless, all the internal circuitry is on a monolithic board...

    Happy day

    I just picked up a LavaTube, actually.. Just to give it a try, and see how it stacks up against my ProVaris. Not bad for the price, but I'm spoiled with the 'Varis.. The LavaTube feels like a toy compared to my 'Varis. I mean, it seems like a capable VV device, but, it feels like you get what...

    Bummed about my ProVari Mini order

    I just ordered a gold provari (comes with an extension cap) and when I received it, I got the Provari, with no extension cap! Emailed Provape, they told me they didnt have a cap ready, so they shipped me the provari, and the cap will come separately.. I was happy to hear that, but an email...

    18650 & Low voltage

    Also remember.. If you have the LO menu option off (so the button doesnt light when you press it) you will not get a low battery warning.. Only the rapid flashing when the battery cut-off kicks in, and shuts off the battery.. Dont know if this applies to you, but its good to keep in mind :)

    New gold ProVari, Missing something....

    Sorry about no pics yet.. Forgot today was St. Patricks day, and I'm on the hook for cooking.. Got some friends over, and going to be killing off a few Guinness.. I'll have more pics soon. Oh, and ProVape emailed me back about the missing extender cap.. I guess it wasn't ready to ship when my...

    High pitched buzz

    It must be filtered then, as thats not like any PWM output I've ever seen. PWM would make sense from an engineering standpoint, but how they go from there to the wave shown above, I don't know..
