    Dealers first......

    Sorry for not getting back sooner. You're correct. The wholesale price isn't publicized. However, having worked for a retailer, I was given that information when I inquired as to why employee, military and certain other discounts didn't apply to Provaris and other high-end hardware. The margin...

    What Builds to use on our ProVari,s

    28AWG A1, 9 wraps around a 2mm bit. 1.5 ohms. Wicked with ShiSeido cotton(easier to get here than KGD). I tend to fire it at 4.0 volts unless the pressure's on. Then I'm around 4.5. Same build on the Russians and the Taifuns. I don't use ProTanks so I'll be no help there.

    Dealers first......

    Unacceptable? Really? Vendors would make around $10 per unit if they sold the device for quoted retail. Hardly worth putting it on the shelf. That's the problem you run into when a manufacturer decides to retail their product as well as wholesale to vendors. The vendor has to sell at a higher...

    Longer Lasting Mini?

    Well, in that case... The EFest 800mAh batteries, while showing a higher capacity, also have a higher internal resistance. Thus, not delivering the same run time under the same load. The Sigelei's, mentioned by Splatnext, I believe are protected LiIon. Not IMR. ProVari requires high-drain...

    Longer Lasting Mini?

    You should always have 3 batteries for each device you use. You should also always carry back-up batteries when you are out and about. There really isn't anything difficult about putting 2 18350's in a battery box and throwing them in a purse/brief case/pocket/whatever.

    I'm Back!

    I have 35 cigars, in a humidor, less than 5 feet away from me. Other than maintenance, the humidor hasn't been opened since I quit smoking cigarettes and started vaping. I used to enjoy 1 or 2 cigars a week. Best part of my week, in fact. But, if I light one, My next step will be to justify...

    The best Reo for the bar?

    What weapon is best for self-defense? The one you're willing to keep on your person all day. Same theory holds for PV's.

    If you ow. 2 provari's....

    I've had as many as 6 Provaris. Down to 2 right now. They are my only regulated mods other than my VV REO Grand. I've owned several Chinese regulated mods. As a result, I'll never own another. I also have a Pure(will have more), a REO Grand(will have more) and an Empire. The question is about...

    Reo Atties

    I'm with you. Love the Empire LR306. Followed closely by the Extreme LR306 from Roar Vapor. Although, I did vape on JC Okie's RM2 and was convinced I need to buy one and give it a run(Thanks to Jan for helping me spend more money). Primarily because the flavor and vapor were excellent and I...

    So many mod idea for a reos... But no one has thought of this!!!

    Adaptation. Being a lefty, my life has been about adapting to what's wrong in the world. When the Grand is in my left hand(90% of the time), I hold it with the fire button away and fire with my index finger, squonk with my ring finger. Little known fact. The leading cause of industrial...

    Battery Life Question

    With a 1.8 ohm coil, pushing 4.0 volts, you draw 2.2A current from the battery. With a 1.3 ohm coil, pushing 4.2 volts, you draw 3.2A current. It's a simple matter of physics. The more you use over a given period of time, the less time it takes to use it up.

    Macaveli vs GP Paps

    The Mac is a hybrid. That means no choice. It's always going to be a genesis style tank system. It's a nice device. But, you're locked in to a single kind of vape. The Paps, with its 510 connector, will allow you to use anything with a 510 connection. It is also M20x1 threaded. Giving you the...

    REO Owners in Oklahoma

    Made it home. Was good meeting you, Jan. Thank you for coming over and introducing yourself. Thanks, also, for showing your Woodville. Truly a lovely mod. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to trust myself with one. Looking forward to next month.

    It's here...

    12 posts in this thread about a new Provari and no pics. Not sure I believe you.:D The Provari will fire that .8ohm coil. But, not over 2.9 since it excedes the amp limit of the device. Rebuild it and get it above 1.3 and you'll be fine. What you describe with the PT2 is typical. Especially...

    Well, I did it, largest single vape purchase to date~!

    I've often wondered why people refer to me as an enabler.
