    What is so special about mechanical mods??

    Kp's Threads are great for that...my head hurt for two days after the Provari one. Using your logic from your previous mod thread, if the Provari is just a piece of "strong Pipe" then a Mech is a piece of "really strong pipe" The magical crystal ball that holds the answers to all of your hearts...

    first rebuild and faillllll

    9.99? You got a short, try wrapping on a small diameter drill bit shank, like 1/16 or 3/32. get your coil all set up and glowing pretty, then pull your wick through. 36g is way to high especially with a VV/VW. 32g is about as high as I'd go. I pretty much stick with 30g, easy to find on bulk rolls.

    I just bought a mechanical. Help.

    If you don't rebuild then you might not be all that happy with the results. At least I'm not. Me personally, I'd either kick it to get decent performance from LR attys and cartos or Id rebuild. An Igo, some 30g and cotton for the wick could probably be bought for less then a kick as well. I use...

    kanthal wire questions.

    I'll echo the 30g and .5 ribbon. way easier to hit higher resistances if your wrapping for a VV/VW device. Ribbon is great if you plan on using cotton at all, it spreads the heat out more. It is more of a pain to wrap than regular 30g.

    New Protank broken! Weak threads. Buyer beware

    The quality of the bases seems to very, I had one of the first runs of protanks and the base and threads were a bit thicker, I got three that were noticeably thinner than another that was thick again. Not sure what this says but if your really worried about it and like the protank Tatroe tank...

    My cartomizer is just driving me nuts...

    It's the Atmistique Scuba tank, It's made for the diver ( getting a rebuild) but any standard carto works. Yup the biggest damn fill hole I have seen. and its in the bottom of the tank so you can use what ever drip tip you please.

    My cartomizer is just driving me nuts...

    Like I said brother, I run two big ... slots in mine, I could never get one hole to work for me. If it's a good brand carto It won't flood. Adding water will just give you a week hit.

    What other mods do Provari owners use/love

    I'm starting to really dig my Reo Grand. It's a different vape experience, and I'm not all that proficient with it yet. I does feel damn good in your hand and just like the Provari it's a made in the good ol' USA brick S&!) House!

    My cartomizer is just driving me nuts...

    I'm going to use my third eye to bend space and time and look over your shoulder..........I can see it now, it's coming into focus......You pick up the device after letting it sit for a bit, take a hit and wow! Tastes pretty good, I'll hit it again....not bad....and one for the road......ack...

    My cartomizer is just driving me nuts...

    The nice thing about a VV/VW device is it's easy to change, start on the low side, say 4.4v and work your way up. And just to echo what everyone else is saying, one hole is probably not near enough and your getting inconsistent flavor because of inconstant wicking.

    My cartomizer is just driving me nuts...

    And if you got 4 days with a dark juice on a carto chances are it's done, like others said, probably not wicking enough=premature death, dark juice=premature death, dark tobacco juices hide slight burning a bit better, new to vaping I bet your running you voltage a bit high and because of your...

    What will I do?

    Mine gets ridiculous abuse daily, it's been dropped on the floor of a m2 Bradley turret, where it road for three hours while my driver did his damnest to kill me. It spends long hours out side in the extreme heat and dust of the high desert. On numerous ocasions it has fought the powers of the...

    Provari battery issues

    Don't know about batt moving, for the first few days when mine was new I would get a feeling like something shifted, I think it was just the switch breaking in. It stopped after a few days and never started again. Mine always blinks a few times after putting the bat in. The cap will squeak...

    ProVari + AGA t2 question

    for what its worth, I always struggle with 28g, for my Provari 30g is uselly the smallest I go. I like to use as few wraps as possible on a genny, less finking with hot spots.

    What do you do with your empty juice bottles?

    I refill water bottles, sort of. My kids leave half drank bottles of water all over the house.......I just top them off from the tap and put them back in the fridge. I don't drink them anyways, we got a water cooler.
