    Is this a scam??

    I wouldn't trust it...the regular COV site is still up and looks the same as usual....

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    That's my experience so far also ...it seems that the smaller you can make the Drip tip hole, the better the overall results have been. A plastic/acrylic tip is pretty easy to do with a pin-vise & a tiny drill bit, but Stainless tips are a real challenge without the proper equipment. BTW...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Gotta agree ... the nic delivery using this method is wicked. I think it might have something to do with the vape being much cooler, so I'm pulling a lot more into my lungs than I usually do. Whatever it is, I think I may have to continue testing with some straight VG (no nic), or I'm just going...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Still playing with the hole-size ratios... I took another old plastic drip tip & hogged out an auxiliary hole to about 2 mm (way oversize), then covered it with a small piece of plastic tape to seal it up, then started with a tiny hole (.5 mm pin), and I'm slowly making the hole larger in about...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    OK, I admit it, I was pretty skeptical about this hole-in-the-drip-tip-thingy, but I already had a 1.2mm drill bit chucked up & a couple of old plastic drip tips laying around the bench last night, so I figured ...... Holy Chit... I don't know what it is, but there's something too this. The...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Ok...interesting point.. I guess I was thinking backward (not unusual). It makes sense - opening up the air hole actually DECREASES air velocity, and increases vapor.... I'll have to ponder on that one for a while...My head is still back in the old Hot-Rod engine days where you tried to cram...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    Interesting ideas. Another off-the-wall concept I was thinking of would be the old "velocity stack" concept from back in my gear-head days. Increase the velocity of the inlet air through a stack....kind of like this (all you would need is the outer velocity cone in the air hole to compress the...

    Oh my gawd...its so BIG !

    If you have problems with attys running thicker juices, cut them about 10-15% with distilled water (or Vodka). It won't affect the flavor...I run Boba's, or other 100% VG juices without problems in ANY cart/clearo/ or RBA...even when they are originally the consistency of honey. Give it at...

    Oh my gawd...its so BIG !

    Vamos are wimpy ...try a BombShell Stinger - it runs a 26650.... battery! Yeah, I get some stares, but who cares- I chain-vape, and it still lasts for almost two days between charges. Time to play with the Big Boys....:D

    MVS Vamo

    I have two Vamos & they take the stacked 18350 as well as the 18650 - no problems. I use an Xtar WP2 charger & it recharges the 350s in about 20 mins, and even a fully drained (3.2volts) 18650 battery in just a couple of hours, and won't overcharge even if you forget to pull it off. Make sure...

    Thanks. Yes, I did the Yoda pic using an image off the 'net & a little Photoshop-fu, and the sketch is one I've used for years (not mine, but I can't remember who did the original - it's titled "Job Well Done, Brother") . EDIT: Just went back to my copy of the original sketch...The artwork was...

    The Next Big thing.... Porous Ceramic Wicks

    RSST = 22mm. It's EXACTLY the same diameter as a SMOK Natural or a Vamo if that helps... EDIT: BTW...as Dan has already proven; you can make a glass tank by either making a 20mm diameter X 15mm high Pyrex tank (or buying one from IBTanked - they can make it any color you want, or even...

    I love the Hemp Demi-wrap idea. I just ordered 5 yards of Hemp (from the eBayer you referenced in another thread). Looking forward to trying it out on a couple of my RBAs & drippers/Vivis...never tried hemp before, but heard good things about it. Always a learning experience.... BTW... are...

    If you could change one thing about a provari what would you add, change, or adjust???

    Offered in Brushed Stainless Steel (brass/gold accents would be cool too), ability to go below 1.2Ω (down to about .3Ω -.5Ω would be ideal), and better price (so I could afford MORE of them). Love the Provaris, but they could easily turn it into the absolute ultimate mod with a few small...
