    Wick materials. Safe vs dangerous.

    Thanks for the chuckle you guys :) the thread was one of the first that I read (took me about a week!) and I still enjoy coming back and seeing what's up in the cotton/bamboo/hemp wicking world :) I'm vaping #1/0 square-braid cotton wick wrapped with A-1 32awg 2.0 ID coils at 2.4 ohms on an...

    Go big or go home or go real cheap

    Boss, I think you're just a bit too sharp and straight for this crowd ;) I find some validity to your opinion, as well as most of the other poster's comments. I've only been vaping for about 4 months now, but watched family members throw away about a thousand dollars (at least) on the cheap...

    This is still a poison we are putting in our bodies

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/284030-wick-materials-safe-vs-dangerous.html is a very long thread, but it has some interesting ideas and suggestions. Also see "Tomcatt's wick wiki" in my signature.

    SmokTek Hyper SRT II (Nov 24 2012)

    After vaping on my vivis for four days waiting on replacement RBAs I've come to the realization that I can no longer just vape on them. The SRT spoiled me. When I bought the replacement "R" I also bought two other AGA RBAs. I've only had them a few days. They vape great, but still don't quite...

    Hyper SRT Rebuildable

    Both my SRT (which I enlarged the holes to 2.1mm) and the one I purchased for my father(unmodded) have failed. I assumed mine was due to the enlarged holes, but the father's failed exactly as mine did. We think that heat weakened the polypropolene where the metal post meets the base of the top...

    SmokTek Hyper SRT II (Nov 24 2012)

    Update: The Hyper SRT II that I purchased for my father failed today. I assumed that enlarging the holes for wicks was the reason mine had failed. But after comparing our broken SRTs, we came to the conclusion that heat is was the issue. His separated in the same place as mine in even though he...

    The Pyrex SS hybrid Wick

    Maybe a short piece or NR wire wrapped from the post to the coil? I don't have this RBA (ordered it/in the mail) but that's what I'd try first?

    SmokTek Hyper SRT II (Nov 24 2012)

    Well, just when my SRT was really "dialed in" and working great I broke it! Sigh. I was in a hurry and held the bottom base with the tank and attempted to twist the top plate off. Bad idea! MAKE SURE you turn the tank with the top plate! I separated the metal post from the top plate, which...

    Hello! & Variable Voltage for a noob

    I get about 7-9ml off one charge of an 18650(2000ma) battery. 2.0 ohm coil/ set at 4.6 volts. Lasts me about 10-12 hours of continued vaping. (Provari) Once you get to know your PV, the clicking is not something you do often :)

    Vivi nova rebulding question

    If they fell apart, then they have been burned too much :( Can you roll cotton and slide it through the coil? It's not easy, but possible if you are very careful. Make sure the coil is right in the middle of the metal tube. Sorry I can't help you more with sourcing wire :(

    Customized ViVi Nova Glass Tank

    Ack! I thought you were in Ohio. Glad to hear there are options in Cali. I'd look for a local blaster and give 'em a call.

    Question regarding rebuilding vivi nova

    The original wick I think is silica. Nichrome is also an alternative. I've always used A-1 for it's durability. Nichome is fine, just make sure you get the right resistance wire. I am not familiar with it, so I cannot assist you there.

    Question regarding rebuilding vivi nova

    wow, where to start.. Oh, I know. First you should have a look at the following video. PBusardo has made hundreds of vids and explains how to rewick/coil a vivi: A PBusardo Tutorial - Vivi Nova Cleaning & Rebuilding - YouTube To clear your confusion: The wick is silica not silicon. You can...

    Attention ProVari Owners

    Provari vs. eVic. They are quite different animals in the PV world, are they not? eVic is so new, that unless you had the fortune of getting a prototype for testing (like a few lucky guys I know of in Germany) there's no fair way to just say "buy a provari". The eVic hasn't been around to even...
