    The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

    I also have used LadyStrick9's google doc reference on more than one occasion :) Very helpful stuff! For Xtar charger, I prefer the WP2 over the WP6, because the WP6 uses springs (meh) and takes 4 spacers per slot to charge 18350. The WP2 uses a spring loaded latch, and takes 1 spacer for...

    2.8 ohm vivi nova heads

    Use the ones that work :) The 2.8 ohm head has 1 thick strand of wick compared to 4? strands on the 1.8 and 2.4 heads. I personally save the 2.8 heads for rebuilds.

    reliable

    The Odyssey doesn't have a proprietary delivery system. It uses XL length (45mm) cartomizer with a flange, similar to tank replacement cartomizers found elsewhere. It's basically a carto/tank system with glass tank. Without getting into the politics, it's not a bad kit, it's just somewhat...

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    On the ProVari, if you have a short, it won't fire. Instead it'll throw an E1 error, so you're safe there. You'd just unscrew the atomizer/whatever you're using off, then fix, and put it back together. As a habit, whenever I connect something to the ProVari, first thing I do is go to AO, to...

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    If you have a ProVari, you can skip the meters. The ProVari has short protection, and built in ohm meter.

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    That depends largely on your battery. You said you use a couple ego-T 650mAh, from what I understand they run somewhere between 3.4v-3.7v. I'd say try to shoot for 1.8-2 ohms or so. :) It's not an exact science for me, I do it mainly by taste. Going back to the picture, I had a ~2.2 ohm coil (5...

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    Just to add what NancyR said, thinner wire (higher #AWG) = more resistance, thicker wire (lower #AWG) = less resistance, more wraps = higher resistance, less wraps = lower resistance. Edit for clarity: 33 gauge wire with 5 wrap, is gonna have more resistance than 32 gauge with 5 wrap. 33 gauge...

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    Yeah that's the ohm meter I got from madvapes. It's a little expensive for what it does, 20 dollars just to measure resistance, but it does come with a 510 connection which is pretty convenient. I also have a cheapie digital multimeter I picked up from harbor freight, but that one is not as...

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    The ohm meter I mentioned. While this is a different atomizer, I use it basically the same way when rebuilding Vivi Nova heads. It's a nice device to check for the resistance of the coil you just built and potential shorts. For example, with the picture, I know from experience, that the coil...

    Pro-V Cartomator SS Info Needed

    I think it has to do with the length of the tube. XL size usually is built for (surprise) XL length cartomizers (45mm+), while standard cartomizer is around 35mm. Mostly preference.

    rebuilding vivi nova heads?

    Get a multimeter/ohm meter. Madvapes has an ohm meter with 510 connection for 20 bucks. Kanthal A1 I got off ebay for about 10 bucks for 100 feet. There's a whole thread discussion about wick material somewhere in the forum. I use 100% cotton yarn I got from walmart. To change the resistance...

    SB help!!

    I love the Kick by Evolv. It's one of those set it and forget it type of device. I have mine set to 8 watts, and it won't matter what carto/atomizer/rebuildable I have connected to the Silver Bullet. The kick will automatically adjust the voltage for you. It's in tj99959's picture. If you spot...

    REO Family Photos & Storage Ideas III

    My first Reo!! Silver Vein Grand topped with A7 RBA from Empiremods. I tried a couple attys laying around (some 306, 510 bridgeless hybrid), then after a few minutes, I just remember why I don't use attys anymore (I'll try the Reo with a carto sometime). The A7, luckily, arrived at the same time...

    SB help!!

    Taste is mostly from your liquid delivery system (clearos in this case). The silver bullet has a 510 connection, so you might need a 510 to ego adapter to use say a stardust (or anything with an ego skirt). If you are going the carto/tank route (don't forget to buy the cartos prepunched, or...

    SB help!!

    That setup sounds like you can use right away. If you get a 510 atty, you'd just direct drip the eliquid into the atomizer. Cartomizer + tank setup, is more of a set it up once and forget it, somewhat easy to refill. Vivi Nova tank is even easier to setup/refill. If I were to rebuy my Silver...

    The iHybrid APV - A fully Customizable Genesis

    Greetings from an iHybrid newbie. Just ordered the Green Envy V2 along with a tank sleeve. From what I understand the V2 just won't have serial number + custom tip? At any rate, pretty excited to get a kickable custom hybrid for the pluid :) PS: Any idea when the spare quarts + oring will be...

    Satin Black or Satin White?

    So, do the white ones get dirty at all? Let's assume normal workday (computer/desk jockey) and not manly work type of stuff (mechanic/workshop type of work). Thanks!
