    Five Pawns now on ECF

    Not handy, but you have google and youtube. I've been very much keeping up with these topics, and watched many hours of video from scientists and experts. If my memory serves, the 4-hour NIOSH video I linked to earlier in this thread is one place I heard that particular fact.

    Quote regarding AstroTurf's excellent advice regarding the Five Pawns thread. If you have something to say, say it there. Don't make comments that might start a debate here. My additional 2c (guess that makes 4c). Biting my tongue...

    I feel your pain, and respectfully bring up a point to consider. We know that many smoking-related diagnosis of COPD were misdiagnosed due to DA/AP. Do you know what levels of DA/AP were in cigarette smoke? Consider that some of Five Pawns liquids have much higher levels of DA/AP than...

    The testing method is completely irrelevant in this case. Five Pawns liquids have many times the NIOSH safe limits, regardless of which method you use to test. Five Pawns argues with NIOSH (really guys?), and in their "opinion", feels the high levels of AP are perfectly safe. I'd love to know...

    I don't remember that, but if true, ouch. Perhaps google or the wayback machine can help prove this one.

    I want ANSWERS - I do NOT want Five Pawns to close their doors. I DO like their flavors, and would LOVE to have AP-free versions. I hope Five Pawns pulls through this, realizing their mistakes, owning up to them, and moving forward in the right direction. Let's not be out to get them - let's...

    Well then you haven't done your homework, or read my first post in this thread. Many people, myself included, reached out to Five Pawns via email, asking if their liquids contained any DA/AP, and if they could provide test results. They would not provide test results, but stated their liquids...

    The FDA has known about the dangers of DA/AP for a long time. I do believe they will restrict e-liquid manufacturers to not selling liquids containing those chemicals. But my guess is as good as anyone's guess as to what the FDA have planned for us. No, I don't believe OVERALL that the FDA...

    This industry, not just Five Pawns or Suicide Bunny before them, has shown us they cannot be trusted. If I wasn't flat-out lied to when asked if their liquids contain any of these ingredients, I wouldn't have an issue with them now. But, since they did lie, and I vaped dangerous chemicals I...

    The Cloud9 results really are irrelevant - there's no need for Five Pawns to try to discredit them, and there's no need for us to question their results - we can forget all about Cloud9 really. What Cloud9 did was bring attention to the unsafe levels of AP in Five Pawns liquids. Until they...

    He didn't just join - he's been a member of ECF for 2-1/2 years. All 7 posts were made in the last 24 hours. One must ask themselves why, after 2-1/2 years of never posting, he decides THIS is the right time to come forward. I hope it's to do damage control, new DA/AP-free product...

    That would be me. I don't like being lied to, and I'm not afraid to ask the tough questions. That's just the BEGINNING of my tough questions - they'll get more tough in subsequent posts. How I post depends entirely on their response. There are far too many facts - many provided by Five Pawns...

    1) I was a big fan of Five Pawns. No question the flavors were outstanding. However, as if the Cloud9 fiasco wasn't enough, your own test results posted in your blog indicate VERY high levels of AP, WELL BEYOND what's considered safe by scientists that have been studying it for years. Since...

    SXmini M Class (TEMP CONTROL)

    Yihi's recommendation was a response to all the people breaking their USB ports. They would not have built-in a charger if it wasn't intended to be used. My S-class has been charged a thousand times or more, always from the USB port. If you're careful when plugging in the cable, it will last...

    Well, that seems to be the end of ProVape. Good thing the P3's were built to last.

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

    ProVape sells a ProVarinati end cap for the v2.5 and P3 - not sure what the differences or requirements are, other than obviously one uses a smaller spring and one uses a larger spring. I just tried my P3 ProVarinati end cap on the v2.5 with an AW 18490 and it fits fine and is not difficult to...

    The amp limit is for the atomizer. When ProVape decreased the minimum atomizer resistance to 0.5 ohms, they needed to increase the amp limit to 6.5A in order to achieve 20W at that load. Actually, it would be capable of delivering 21W before hitting the amp limit, but they built-in a 20W...

    Regarding Efest batteries... Yes, they've been tested and proven to be nowhere near the specs they claim. However, at the power levels typically used in a ProVari, they're perfectly safe. I would never use one in a mechanical mod though. With that said, I would NOT recommend using the Efest...
