    Would love it if OCD can come up with a tank that looks good with the CHIDs :) I'm a big fan of OCD carto tanks!

    New guy with many questions for anyone that can help me...

    I really wanted the OP to try the 1.8 ohm head that came with the vivi nova first, but if he really wants a ProVari, then by all means, go for it. I am going to tell you that the ProVari is not the cure all magical fixall that would instantly give you a better vape. It is a better device, in my...

    New guy with many questions for anyone that can help me...

    From what I understand from the original post, OP bought a 1000mAh twist battery (variable voltage) and a Vivi Nova tank. Good solid kit. Milliamp hour (mAH) has more to do with battery lifespan, how long you can use the battery. If your Vivi Nova Tank comes in a box, it probably comes with 2...

    Thinking to upgrade to Provari 2 Mini Satin Silver

    There's only 2 measures of performance with tanks, imho. Does the tank hold liquid well? (No leaks) Does the window/body of the tank hold up to your liquid (No cracks). The Pro-V Cartomator tank and others look really great, but at 60 bucks, I really don't want to buy plastic windows. Again...

    What did you start with ?

    Blu cig disposable, Blu cig premium kit (waste of money that one), Silver Bullet a couple days after I got my premium kit. Couldn't stand the premium kit, they felt alot worse than the 10 dollar disposables. I thought, if I really wanna stay off the analogs, I could either keep buying the...

    ATTN: ZXMAX users. Quick question

    Yeah, sounds really fishy when a 2.0 ohm rated carto shows up as 1.2 on your device. For the Zmax, I'd suggest staying above 2.0 ohm, personally, since they run a little bit hotter.

    What mod is the CHID sitting on? Looks like some kinda telescoping bottom firing mechanical.

    Suggestions for small variable volt that can also check ohms?

    I've been looking at that one. Nice OLED screen, check resistance with one button, but from what I understand the voltage measurement is not accurate. So having a tough time really, deciding if I can live with the shortcomings.

    Suggestions for small variable volt that can also check ohms?

    Have to +1 what recidivus said. I have a digital multimeter and a ohm meter w/ 510 connection box thing from madvapes. Both work fine, but I find myself reaching for the ohm meter more. Is it worth 20 dollars? probably not, it's damn convenient though. You don't have to touch the probe together...

    What Flavor Are you Vaping Right Now?

    Got my hands, finally, on some Boba's Bounty and Gorilla Juice. Good stuff!

    While I, too, am guilty of buying different kinds of PVs, whatever keeps you from smoking regular cigarettes, is the best PV for you :)

    What flavors are long term EX- Marlboro smokers vaping????

    I've vaped straight 100% USP VG before (no nic), when I was learning how to build a genesis atomizer (didn't wanna waste good juice). It's not bad, its flavorless. Can't say if it changes any if you add nicotine to it. Edit for clarity

    This is costing me a fortune!

    That's how much I got for 13 bucks. That's how much I use for each rebuild. I put that wick/coil combo in Vivi Novas and Phoenix clones. Snip the edges to size to get more strands instead of the thicker wick method. Maybe I did underestimate how much kanthal I use. I was being wasteful and cut...

    This is costing me a fortune!

    Plenty of videos around about rebuilding Vivi Novas. Just for comparison, I use roughly 2 inches of kanthal each for each vivi nova coil. 100 feet = 1200 inches = roughly 600 vivi nova coil/heads to rebuild. and the cotton yarn ball? I'm thinking I'd run out of kanthal first before I run out of...

    DUD builds

    There's a co-op thread by southernbuckhunter (butchered spelling sorry) that has clear windows for the duds, but chances are, it'll start popping up at your favorite vendors soon-ish (after the chinese holiday). Question for johnlacie, those syringes you link from amazon, do you need any...

    My experience with my first RA didn't turn out so hot

    My experience with my first RA didn't turn out so hot

    Tip the pv down with the top off, and fire, until you see droplets come out the top of the wick. Put it back upright, then repeat, tip the pv down again, and fire. What I found works for me, I hold the pv horizontal when taking a drag (imagine like holding a cigar), I'd know when the wick...

    This is costing me a fortune!

    It could, if you start rebuilding them. I use 100% cotton (3 bucks at walmart) + 32AWG kanthal (10 bucks shipped on ebay for 100ft), both price i quoted would get you an amount that's probably more than you would EVER need.

    Provari vs Zmax

    The ZMax had a great concept of bringing VW for the masses, the execution however did not pan out too well. I'm personally just waiting for whoever's updates their product first. Provape would have to update their ProVari to include VW and Smoktech would have to recalibrate their Zmax. I've...
