    Difference in ohms

    Ohms are a measurement of resistance.. The lower the Ohms, the less resistance there is. "LR" or Low Resistance attys (and cartos), typically have 1.5-1.9 ohms, while standard attys have 2.2-2.7 ohms. The lower the resistance, the more power the atty takes from the battery, and the more heat...

    Is anyone getting a false "low battery" flashing led?

    Certain batteries (even specific individuals within the same brand / batch) can have slightly different internal resistance. What this could mean, is that when you load the battery, its voltage could drop more during under load than othere batteries from the same batch. Balancing, and...

    Increasing nic strength in liquid I have

    Your math is correct, You would add 1.8mL of 100mg/mL unflavored nic to 28.2mL of your 12mg juice to make 30mL of 18mg/mL liquid. As far as flavoring changing, a 6% dilution shouldnt be very much, It might have a little less flavor, but you'll most likely not notice it after a few minutes...

    what is best atomizer for very sweet juices?

    In my opinion, The best juice flavor to be had, is "dripping" on an atomizer. Now some swear by 801 attys, others by 306, and still others insist the new .357 is the way to go.. All of these opinions are perfectly valid, and correct for them.. I like me some 306, and the 801 is a fine choice...

    I need help, please! smoke51 atomizer

    I have no personal experience with the smoke51, but on the site, it looks like a regular 3-part kit. Once you pull off the cartridge, ("Filter") you should be able to unscrew the atomizer from the battery. Faq's The middle piece (the atomizer) should simply unscrew from the battery. I don't...

    Good news, and bad news..

    I got the Charger from Provape, Just like all the batts and stuff for my Provaris.. Batts and such might be a buck or two cheaper from whatever other company, but I'm so impressed with Provapes products thus far that I just buy from Provape.. A single wrong batt, or bad batt from any other...

    Good news, and bad news..

    Good news is: I found out that (at least from Santa Rosa, CA to Los Angeles, CA) the Provari passes right through airport security! Not so much as a second look from the security people, so.. Cool! Bad news: My PILA charger isnt as robust as I thought :( I just so happen to be traveling for...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    I don't know any specifics of what circuit the Provari uses, but its been my experience that the efficiency doesnt change too much from lower than input to higher than input. The DC-DC circuit takes the input voltage, "Processes" it then sends out the desired voltage.. This happens regardless of...

    Newb with a throat hit question - Possibly Looking for a blended cart???

    Bingo! Nic = TH, TH = Nic, theyre really quite intertwined. Sure, stuff like menthol, cinnamon, or even PGA can add to the TH a bit, but ultimately, TH comes from nicotine. If you'd like less TH from your juice, I can suggest 2 things. 1) Lower the Nic in your juice (I know you said you need...

    Another Ce2, of course! :) I like the Ce2s, but If I think I know what post of mine you're...

    Another Ce2, of course! :) I like the Ce2s, but If I think I know what post of mine you're talking about, I meant that 4 fills on a CE2 was probably about the end of its expected life, time to dump it, and get another. I am a carto *hater* but the CE2s (and the Iken Gold cartos) are actually...

    Battery charging method for Riva style batteries

    I dont know anything about the riva charger, but I would tend to follow the instructions. I agree, it sounds a little weird, but theres probably a reason for doing it that way. (I'm just guessing here, but perhaps taking the charger off the wall plug allows it to re-set, and when plugged back in...

    Few questions about my prodigy V3.1

    Welcome to vaping! The Prodigy is a great mod, very solid feeling device, I'm sure you'll love it! Okay, lets see if we can do this in order. :) 1. There could be a lot of reasons the vape is harsher than from your friends V3, Your LR carto could be lower than what your friend was using...

    Advice needed re: switching smoking to vaping

    Advice? DON'T SWEAT IT! E-cigs aren't a path to quitting, tho a lot of people have gone that way. (A good thing!) I just use them as 1) It gives me the nicotine I crave, and 2) I get all these neat flavors to play with!! :) I only *quit* analogs, as frankly, they're just not nearly as...

    Why is my atty tasting like crap after a refill?

    My opinion? Trash the CE2.. 4th refill you say? Cool. Thats a good life for a $2-$3 investment in my books. If you want to try and salvage it, I'd suggest a Rinse 'n rinse, not a rinse 'n burn. Those clearos are cheaply made, and a burn can damage the wicking material.. Best to rinse out...

    high pitch buzz on higher voltage?

    Yeah, this is normal.. Both my ProVaris do this over 5V or so. It should be very quiet tho..
