    New Batteries coming soon - ProVari Power 2500

    Oh, and apples to apples, I used the same atty on each unit for the voltage tests, and both units were fitted with freshly charged 18490s pulled right off my PILA charger. Yup.. Pretty slick devices there, Provape :) It looks like my Provari's are every bit deserving of the adulations I pour on...

    New Batteries coming soon - ProVari Power 2500

    Okay, Heres the results.. I grabbed a few attys, at varying resistances, and was able to test both my Satin provari, and my (just came in today) Black chrome Provari. For all tests, both Provaris were turned down to 3.3V Tested with a Fluke F87V, last calib. May 6th, 2011. Using a 510-510...

    Steeping!!

    Steeping seems to be subjective, but the most oft quoted time frame I see is 1-2 weeks. Some people say a few days is fine, others say it requires a full week or two. My suggestion would be to try it! Give the juice a go and see how you like it, then bottle it up for a week (room temp will be...

    Voltage "Under Load"

    "Under load" refers to taking a voltage measurement while the battery is firing an atty. In this case, the Atty is the load on the battery. Testing a battery voltage while its sitting out in the open is one thing, but when an atty is pulling current from the batt, the voltage tends to drop...

    Standard ego-t atomizer resistance

    Heh, i had to dig up my Ego-T atties. According to my meter, it looks like they're right at 2.3-2.4Ohms. That should be fine at 5V 10.87Watts at 2.3 ohms, and 10.41Watts at 2.4 ohms. It will be on the hot side, I'd guess, and you'd want to start off with short puffs until you get the feel for...

    New Batteries coming soon - ProVari Power 2500

    I have calibrated meters at work.. If I can, I'll throw my provari (soon to have a second one in my grasp!!) on there, and see just how close it really is.. FWIW, I'd bet they're well within a small tolerance (say 5% or so)

    Provari power 2500: is that spacer ring really needed?

    0.895" Outside diameter (the thickness of the Provari) 0.048" Thick (the ring I have) 0.076" "Tall" (Overall length) Minimum ID (Inner Diameter) would be to the outside of the threads: Minimum ID: 0.805" Thats to the outside of the threads.. And finally, a little drawing, with my ring...

    New Batteries coming soon - ProVari Power 2500

    Hmmm.. I grabbed my tester 510-510 adapter. My Provari shows the battery charge (under load) at 3.6V, but the multimeter (at the same time) shows 3.27V Conversely, The meter shows the Provari putting out voltage within 0.06V of measured.. So set at 4.8V, and I measure 4.86V under load I...

    Bump this thread if you want green led and display

    If there were bi-state LEDs in the Provari (Selectable Red / green) then in the firmware, you could select red, green or both (yellow/orange kinda color) Blue LEDs can take up to 5-10X the current of a red or green LED, as the nature of whats in a blue LED just needs more 'oomph' to work. White...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    Wow.. FWIW, Just got a few "Canon" HV atties from Iken.. (3.5ohm) These things pretty seriously rock at5-5.4V on the Provari.. I'm loving vaping like new again.

    Vaping, and Ulcers?

    I've just been diagnosed with a ulcer.. I guess a fairly large one.. I know cigarettes are to be avoided for ulcers, but what about vaping? How about Snus? I just spent 7+ hours in the ER after vomiting ~1/3 of my total blood weight, so the doc said. So I guess its bad.. There were some...

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    So.. Any input on what conditions will trigger an E8 error code? The better I understand this device, the better I can utilize it :)

    ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

    Woot! Just got my Provari 2 days ago.. (satin finish, 5 days from order to receiving it) One seriously awesome mod. I'm an EE by trade, and a geek by nature, so all the displayed info is *awesome* to have on-device. Battery measurement, and atty resistance while UNDER LOAD? Brilliant...

    I'm still in the ring for an EQ V2 (or whatever it will be) I just couldnt wait any longer.. For now, I ordered myself a Provari, but hope that someday (soon!) it will be "Eclipsed" by the EQ.. :D To me, If you never fail, then you're not trying hard enough...

    All of Bens (AVE) juices can be thinned a lot with little sacrifice in flavor, IMO.. Just use the lightest polar solvent thats okay for consumption (PGA) Literally a drop per mL of juice can thin it out a *lot* and you're talking less than a couple % total dilution.

    I hope they include "Not Microwave Safe" in the instructions.. I had an eGo that didnt tell me that in the directions, and well... Lets just say the local fire department knows me by name now :D
