    >.< .......*sigh*

    You comment on stress reminded me of some of the brainwashing we've all undergone related to cigarettes. They are, in fact, NOT stress reducers. They actually INCREASE stress in your body. The only stress they reduce is that of nicotine withdrawal. I got a lot form Allen Carr's book on the...

    Your Vaping Setup!

    Provari V2 w/ extension cap, 3.0ohm boge cart in a 3.5ml tank on DIY Banana creme. Eventually I wanna get an RATank but will prolly get a 5-6ml all metal tank before that.

    For People Who Think The Provari Is Too Expensive

    I've had 2 EGO 3.4v, 2 EGO Twists, a VTube, and now my Provari. My Provari wins hands down. My juice tastes better on the Provari and my carts last longer than on the other devices. I've set my Twist at 4.2 and taken a few hits, then moved the tank to my Provari at 4.2 and taken a few hits...

    My son's analog cigs.

    I'm curious, what equipment do you vape on and what strength nic? I've been in this about 2 months and just really haven't had the desire for analogs. Maybe the trick is to get him to switch too ;-)

    returning vapor

    Welcome back man! From personal experience I'll agree that it's gotten SOOOO much better in just a few years time. Not necessarily perfect but there's some REALLY good stuff out now.

    Welcome to the club! Have you already picked up a kit? What are you using or considering?

    Seriously about to give up on vaping!

    [TLDR SUMMARY] Been there done that. My problem seems to have been a combination of PV and clearo/carto/atty usage. In the end I'm using a ProVari (vtube would have sufficed but scored a sweet deal on a provari) and tank with 3ohm carts mixing my own DIY. Since switching to the...

    Overwhelmed with all the information

    I TOTALLY understand where you're coming from man. It's easy to go snow blind with all the info. I lucked out and a shop opened right by the house. I just checked there site and they've got one in San Antonio which isn't all that far away. If I were you I'd head there this weekend and sit...

    cardio, and vaping

    From personal experience, yes your breathing will improve DRASTICALLY in relatively short order. The only cardio I get of late is in the bedroom ( ;-) ) and the change has been quite noticeable in just 2 months. Here's a timeline for it I came across and it appears to hold true for me...

    Newby about to buy his first e-cig! Torn between two..

    Hey buddy, welcome! From my perspective, and how I understand your post, I really don't think either would be a good device for you. If you were looking to replace cigarettes then either would probably be a good start but considering that you're trying to replace cigars/pipes I just don't...

    Provari tests vs Vmax

    I measured the output on my VTube with a voltmeter from 4.0v to 6.0v in .5v increments and it was within, .01v of the readout at each point in time. What I didn't do was measure it under load I guess. How would you do that? With an atty on it? Regardless, my wife has a Provari V2 and just...

    Not getting much vapor

    My opinion man is to try the clearo w/ liquid then trash the pre-fills. I'm not sure on the resistance of them but I do know that different carto's even at the same resistance can perform differently. There's a chart over on the clearomizer forum for vaping voltages/resistances and I remade it...

    Can't believe it took me 2 weeks to find this

    Grats man and good to have you on board! Yeah, the 'tank' that comes on the EGO-T gets a lot of complaints about leaking. I didn't care much for the performance of it either, to the point that I got my local shop to start pushing the purchase of Stardust clearo's with the EGO kit they sell...

    New user, 3 days now and got a few questions?

    I didn't see it specifically answered so I will tell you that yes your vape should be warm/hot. This all works by the battery heating up an element hot enough to turn your liquid into a gas that it then inhaled for nic-fix goodness. Enjoy hot! ;-)

    Burning carto's bad

    Thanks for properly categorizing this. OK, so I got one of our hardware engineering guys to test some things. I didn't have my boge with me but I tested resistance on the resurrectors, one came in at 1.7, the other at 1.8. I tested the Twist at 4.0v and it came in spot on, then I tested it at...

    Burning carto's bad

    That's a rather enlightening chart! It shows precisely that unless my boge's are ringing in exactly at 2.8ohm then I've surely been roasting them at 4.8v. Also wifey probably has as well but she's got the Provari over wattage protection and often runs at 4.5v. I can tell you after many many...

    Burning carto's bad

    Heh, I'd actually meant to ask for such a thing and got distracted (these jokers actually want me to do my JOB while I'm at work, wth?). Thanks!

    Burning carto's bad

    Thanks guys, several things I hadn't thought of. Yeah, I guess I'll just give my extra resurrectors to my neighbor (std. 3.4v EGO he has). They just got rave reviews and I wanted to try something different. My wife uses the same carto's/tank on her provari that I do but she has tried my tank...

    Burning carto's bad

    So, I seem to have an issue with burning up my carto's in short order on my EGO Twist. By short I mean a day or 2 every time. At first I thought it was just that I have a crappy tank with plastic end caps but then I got some of the C.C.V. 1.7 resurrector carto's and they do the same thing on...
