    HOW has the Provari not been cloned?

    There could be something to that, but it would seem like a mech would require more actual machine time and tooling. With a APV all you really need is a tube with a battery cap, and a 510 cap (usually press-fit on APVs like the Provari, Vamo, Zmax, etc, so a bit easier to make) both of which you...

    HOW has the Provari not been cloned?

    I wouldn't want one, and please let's not get into clone ethics, but it just struck me today how is it possible that the Provari hasn't been cloned yet? I know the Vmax was kinda a clone, similar appearance and function, as well as the later Zmaxes both Smoktech and Sigelei, but today we are...

    Principles of Eliquid Atomization in a Rebuildable Atomizer

    The second I read Trustfire I knew that's what most of the posts would be about ;) Don't take it too hard OP, safety is very important for most rebuilders here on ECF so talk of trustfires and RBAs together is usually considered bad form. The lower the resistance of your coil, the higher...

    Caravela Mod HCigar - Vape Mail

    I'm pretty sure you have the EHPro version. Their early vela clones didn't have the trademarks but the newer clones do. The 23mm makes me pretty sure it's EHpro, as the HCigars are smaller and the Yiloong or whatever brand doesn't seem to be too common anymore (no idea what diameter they are...

    Question about using a kick with 18650 Batteries

    Another mech that works with an 18650+ kick without anything else is the Avenger V3. Using the single marked battery tube you can use an 18350, single tube + opened telescopic section can use either an 18500 or 18350 plus kick. Both tubes give you an 18650 or 18500 +kick, and both tubes with an...

    Got a little carried away with the torch

    Initially I was just going to torch a drip tip, but it ended up going a bit further than that ;) I played around with temp to see what kind of results I would get, the darker almost black on the ERA clone and drip tip was a longer hotter heating, Caravela was purposefully heated unevenly to give...

    mtbakervaporII

    Those charts are fairly accurate when it comes to standard clearos/cartos/etc but they aren't really applicable to rebuildables. Like I said this only happened with that specific batch I got from MBV, I'm sure it's nothing wrong with my builds.

    mtbakervaporII

    Well the builds I use most are in the 25-45 watt range so pretty high, but as I said I've used plenty of MBV juice in the past with builds at those same power levels without issue. The only reason I suspected it could have something to do with power levels is because my sister doesn't seem to...

    mtbakervaporII

    Has anyone had issues with MBV juice burning funky at higher wattages when you add 2 or more flavor shots? I recently got my juice order from MBV in, and had ordered 2 flavor shots on everything. Totally unnecessary and probably a bad idea, at least for me. This stuff has tiny tiny amounts of...

    Space Jam Juices

    If anyone is looking for a replacement for their SJ juices, I've found a couple that do a pretty good job. Interstate vapors Their Strawberry Kiwi is a dead-ringer for Astro, and their blueberry cream is very similar to Andromeda, although I think Space Jam's "creamy" flavoring is better than...

    I think he is using a little pin to keep the coil/wick stiff for mounting.

    Craft Beer and Vaping

    Right on! One of my finest memories of vape/craft brew pairings was some 1 year old Deschutes Abyss with HHV tobaccos, such a delicious pairing. I think that year they used ancho chillies, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon stick so it was just an obscenely complex and delicious beer. I've also paired...

    Kraken RBA - SHOW ME YOUR BUILDS!!

    After the initial mesh build posted earlier I switched to cotton and played with some different coil configurations: First one is dual 28g 1 ohm compressed coils, second is a single .5 ohm micro with 3-strand twisted 30g, and the last is dual 28g 1 ohm micros. Now I kind of want to...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    I wasn't kidding when I said I'd copy you, although I didn't actually rebuild because I was feeling lazy, but I did shift my coils over in my IgoW as best as possible without destroying them (.4 ohm twisted 30g) The coils aren't as close to the post as it looks, but they're closer than I'd like...

    New RSST, Coils wont heat

    The current battery you are using is very small and just can't deliver the current needed for higher power. While sub-ohm setups on devices like the SVD or MVP are pretty pointless to begin with because of the built-in amp limit of the chip, when you get to tiny ego-sized batteries it just...

    Cant vape in the house.....aruggggggggggggggg

    Oh dear, not Axe! Wearing that stuff is like admitting that you have some sort of smelly issue bad enough that the smell of Axe is a relief ;) It seems like toilet seats should have a little handle or something, no? Anytime I move a seat I either kick it up/down with my foot, or a get some...

    H Cigar Nemesis Clone Questions

    I'm not sure what "should" exactly means in this case. I couldn't care less what Atmomixani wanted the pin to be used for. It's only purpose is to conduct current from the negative terminal. This isn't rocket science we are dealing with here, the pin IS adjustable, that's just a simple fact...
