    Oh, it stacks. But we're a different system - they use VV, we use VW. Of course, we're biased toward ours, but the Provari is a very fine device, which nobody can deny.

    It's a pleasure. I know it's tough to wait - I'd already be in jail for multiple felonies if my Futura got snatched away. Fortunately I do have access to a few others so that probably won't happen :). But you know, you only get one chance to make a good first impression, and that's what we're...

    Hmm, that's a new one. Anyone else having this problem? Haven't heard of it before. Are you using Safari? We seem to have lots of problems with that browser.

    We're plugging away, but that's the problem with a first release - hard to get everything perfect in quantity production. We had to redo a couple of parts because they weren't up to standard, and, of course all you guys wanted serial numbers (:)) so we've been set back a couple of days. But...

    Thanks for your purchase - and a wise one it was! :)

    You are correct. Our totally cool, utterly unique power adjuster :).

    Lol!! That would be a neat trick - but you'd need a magnifying glass to read it. You can't orient the screen horizontally - you can only change the vertical orientation so the info reads top to bottom, or bottom to top. Basically just rotates the screen 90 degrees.

    Yeah, I know. We'll do some closeups (not too close) and demos. If anyone wants to donate some super high end RBAs, please don't hesitate :)

    Actually, a short video would be a good idea. I think we'll make one in the next day or two - just show the thing in action. Certainly won't be up to Phil's quality but as a demo it should suffice.

    All switches used are internal - no external ones at all. The adjusters and fire button are just actuators for the internal switches.

    It's confusing, no doubt. But the battery life does change, depending on coil resistance, because the laws of physics deem it so. It's impossible to calculate exactly how much or how little since battery age and condition play central roles (internal resistance, etc.), but change it will - in...

    Yeah, it's basic Ohm's Law. If you can fix the wattage then the higher ohm coil will draw less current, which equals greater battery life.

    Ok, fair enough. Would you care to explain battery drain in an ecig? If I'm wrong I'd really love to know why.

    Introducing Futura - The Modular DNA 20 APV by NexgenVapor[ISSUE]

    You're right, of course. Batteries are power supplies. But I said that battery life is a function of current draw. That's why they're rated in milliamp hours (mah). And thanks for ordering! :)

    Very good points. The other reason to avoid low resistance coils in a regulated device is battery life. Here's a quick current draw comparison: 1.5 ohms @ 8 watts = 2.31 amps (current) 1.8 ohms @ 8 watts = 2.11 amps 2.5 ohms @ 8 watts = 1.79 amps 3.0 ohms @ 8 watts = 1.63 amps 1.5 ohms @ 20...

    Sure, it's possible that some juices paired with certain coils perform better at lower voltages. In that case I'd suggest a Provari for the ultimate in VV, or even a Nivel device. According to Ohm's Law, and assuming your coil is maintaining a constant resistance (not usually the case once it...

    IMR batts have what's called "safe chemistry." While I'm sure it's all relative, they're designed for high current usage without going ballistic and taking off your hands and lips. If you crank a DNA 20 up to 20 watts and cause damage to yourself and the device by using a non-IMR battery, yes...

    The first 100 will be at the top of the shipping list, but the others will follow very shortly. It's mostly a matter of how quickly they're painted, especially some of the unusual colors. But again, this won't delay things very much.
