    GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Heron

    The amount of fluff sounds pretty close to what I'm using. I wouldn't think that's the problem. My coils are about the same size - I was using a 3/32" (2.381mm) drill bit - which is what I've been using on my KFL's for ages - but with twisted 32g I could barely fit it between the posts. I...

    The Provarinati Saloon IV - Back Alley

    You, sir, have obviously never been to Montana. We're the rough equivalent of your Northern Territory. Well... maybe if the NT froze over. It was -8C when I left work the other day. (Yes, yes, I'm an American who is fluent in Celcius, don't get used to it)

    GP Series by VapourArt - Official Thread for GP Heron

    Can't say I've done a lot of experimenting yet, but I've been cutting mine almost as wide as is from the top cap to the bell (just a little shorter) & 65mm long. I use the bell to measure the width & an 18650 to measure the length. I'm sure there's a better way out there, but that's been...

    Lithium-Ion are a broad range of batteries... think of them like "Lithium-based". They're quite advanced: very safe, they don't develop a "memory", good recharging cycles, high drain rate, etc. IMR, ICR, IFR, etc are all sub-categories of Lithium-Ion batteries. IMR = LiMn2O4. ICR = LiCoO2...

    According to Panasonic, they don't make PF's in button top. There are counterfeit PF's in button-top & some rewrapped PD's out there though.

    The PD is a good battery too. The PF has a slightly different chemistry & a lower internal resistance than the PD. The difference in the curves isn't huge, but noticeable. I don't use 650's a ton for the same reason. They're just a little too big. 350's just don't have enough juice for my...

    There are no button top PF's. They sort of look like it because the exposed positive side isn't the size of the whole battery & there's a little recessed channel that goes around it. You might be able to get them to work, but I still wouldn't use them in a Provari. ETA: They're making the...

    For low amp pulls, the Panasonic PF's are the top dog. 10A max, but the best curve out there right now. I've heard about the Samsung as well. Higher amp rating, but not quite as good of a curve as the PF's. The lowest I build is 1.7, so the PF's are all I use for 650's. I'd be ok with them...

    It's been snowing here. It was 17F/-8C when I left work last night. We're having a bit of a hot, tropical morning today though. A balmy 37F/3C. I keep checking the back yard to see if any palm trees sprout. Nothing yet.

    What Train said. The mAh number doesn't tell you anything about the battery. For instance, with the 'old' AW 650's, the 1600mAh battery is far superior to the 2000mAh battery. Not only does it have over double the amp rating, the discharge curve is drastically different... to the point where...

    Congrats Cucco! I work Thurs-Sun so I'm looking forward to going back to the grind :D After tonight, I get 3 days off! Although I think someone's bringing in a laptop for me to fix, but from what he's describing it might be a hardware issue. If it is, I won't have the parts in until next...

    I've tried the barrel-aged one & another one... Gambit, perhaps? They weren't bad, but even at cheaper prices I didn't care for them enough to buy some. If someone gave me a couple mL of some of their others, I'm not opposed to giving them a try. It's just from their listed descriptions...

    It might be, but I wouldn't think it would be that much more than the regular KFL's. Maybe $120-130-ish? I just noticed them when Phil was trying to get Flo to allow him to talk about the new Kayfun design. Flo had a bunch of photos posted of the 5P edition. Sounds like it's the liquid of...

    I saw Flo talking about those a month or so ago. Even from someone who doesn't like 5P, they look pretty cool.

    I was under the impression they didn't use alcohol on any of their NET's. There's definitely none in Dark Horse or Legend. I don't remember for certain with HA since it's been so long, but I don't remember there being any in that one either.

    HA & Shadow are on the low end of the scale with Dark Horse. HA is enjoyable probably as young as 4 weeks, but it'll still get considerably better after that. If you'd like some well aged stuff to try/compare it too I've got almost 100mL of it from 3/8/14 that I haven't been vaping. It's...

    It depends on which ones. Dark Horse is pretty decent at 6 weeks, but most of the NETs really start getting good at the 2-3 month mark & keep improving for a while. I try to keep a stash going & vape them past 6 months when I can. For the non-NETs, Pear is good pretty early, Blueberry Muffin...

    I don't get that far south too often. I drive the canyon a lot, but never past the turn up the mountain (I work up in the Meadows now). I used to like camping down in the Hebgen area at a hidden little campground, but the tourists have found it. It used to be really quiet, now it's pretty...

    Black Delrin Provari Cone (not Loki Labs)

    I kinda wish I bought some spares too. I just have the one, myself. Don't know who or why or how they were convinced to switch over to the metal ones, but it kinda sucks. If you use some blue painter's tape, you can make a little ring with the sticky side facing out... think of a ring about...

    I hope you ran a malware scan after that. I don't know what happens after you click the button, but my security software was certainly not very happy with me for trying.
