    Protecting Provari 510 threading?

    I don't see the point either. The Provari top cap is solid SS. Odds are you'll snap or strip the 510 threads on the atty long before you do any damage to the Provari That said, the threads aren't the weak point of the Provari 510... It's the plated brass center pin. An atty with a sharp or...

    Great point that I forgot to mention before... Any capacity below 3.3 to 3.5 volts is irrelevant. Another thing worth mentioning/looking for... A "flat" or horizontal discharge curve with a sharp fall-off at the end. The flatter the curve, the more consistent your vape will be throughout the...

    My guess is that they are talking about this battery...LG 18650 D1 3000mAh (Pink) The specs are unreal as are the test results. Plus, their max voltage is 4.35 volts (as opposed to the normal 4.2) Unfortunately, they require a special charger and I couldn't actually find them for sale the last...

    As a personal rule... I avoid any battery that has the letter "C" in it name... The "C" stands for cobalt. There are 2 reasons for this... 1) Li-Co (lithium-cobalt) are the ones that can go boom. I have NEVER heard of a lithium-manganese (Li-Mn) battery doing anything more that get REALLY hot...

    Nope. It don't.

    I 2nd that... Even if you can, it doesn't mean you should. It'll fit. Just need to use and 18500 battery instead of an 18650.

    I'm with ya. There's a reason they keep me locked up in IT... On the bright side, being a surly ......., means requests are often accompanied with bribes and piece offerings.

    Possible but a little tricky. You'd have to be able to keep the Kick on the positive end if the battery and run a wire to negative end of the battery, while making sure the wire doesn't actually touch the negative end unless the button is being pressed.

    Amps are amps... If it were V*A, the'd have a wattage rating.

    I don't need any fuse at all ;) Why does the that ^^^ sound like "famous last words???

    LOL... Fair enough... Guess I should have said, "It contains no electronics unless you add them add them yourself".

    They are designed in a lab to beak at an exact (or pretty damn close to it) amperage. The "special" property is the engeneering that goes into it's manufacture. A 10 amp fuse will blow when 10 amps goes through it and not before that. Different fuses have different amp ratings, allowing you you...

    Not all my mods... In fact my Provari is the only thing I have that offers any protection other than venting. I'm not advocating this... Simply stating it... Fuses and hot springs work because they get hot and either break (fuse) or collapse (hot springs). The reason they get hot is because...

    They are completely mechanical. The fuse is just a thin piece of metal that's designed to melt or "blow" when a specified amperage is run through it. The Dibi contains no electronics.

    LOL... I'm running mine on the copper strip too... No fuse. If you're concerned (or unsure) about the safety of your batteries, the fuse is a good option as it does add an additional layer of safety. On the other-hand, if you're using top quality high drain batteries with high C ratings and...

    Lots of reasons... 1) The expense. 2) The potential for thermal issues (it could keep heat from dissipating off components). Most electronics are designed to have very little, if any human interaction when it comes to assembly. For example, all of the individual components on that board would...
