    Proteus official

    I'm probably in the minority here, but the all stainless look to match my Penelope v3, which I plan to have on top as a permanent thing, would make for a very slender, elegant device, IMHO. :)

    Help with VW VV plz plz

    Since you came from a VV background, I assume you've already found a voltage setting that works well for the resistance of atomizer you are using ... in that case, just use Ohm's law to calculate the wattage at which you have been vaping using your current voltage/resistance, then use that as...

    Vaping and the Police

    What device are you using? What drugs can be "smoked" in it? While there are vaporizing devices made to be used with "herbal" substances, I don't know of any e-cig devices that can. :blink:

    VapeBash Chicago 2014 - From a GG User's Perspective

    I was at VapeBash, and while I didn't see any other GG products, several people asked about my stuff ... the Ithaka with the new rebuildable section, the Penelope v3, and the Penelope v2 dripper. Folks were particularly impressed with the dripper! Still, if you were a GG fan, as I certainly am...

    Wire zapper

    I've got the Spotty v1, which is a dandy little wire welder, but I've got a question about wire welders in general: how do you make a successful join using Kanthal for the R and .999 Silver for the NR? I can make good Kanthal/Nickel joins 'til the cows come home, but making Kanthal/Silver joins...

    Battery Life

    I do the same. The ProVari is excellent at keeping the battery (and you) safe. One further thing I might mention is the recommendation to let your batteries "rest" after they come off the charger. One hour should be adequate. Many battery outgassing events occur when the battery is freshly...

    Battery Life

    I've also seen the 300 number for average charge cycles, but according to what I read on the Battery University site, this means 300 FULL charge/discharge cycles ... if you are charging up when the battery is not fully discharged to its safe discharge limit (which, for the battery under...

    Proteus serial list

    That is correct. Thanks to both Imeo and aalwani ... 1942 is my birth year, and I'm pleased to have that number for my Proteus. Now that 1941 is free, I'm sure someone else will grab it soon :laugh:

    Looks like a Kir Fanis tank. I've got several, and they are excellent. :)

    Penelope V3

    Just a heads-up ... if you have trouble with shorts when building the v3, check that you have the little plastic ring that goes between the brass positive pin and the bottom of the rebuildable section housing ... mine came missing that part. Fortunately, the similar bit from a Penelope v1 fits...

    Ithaka new rebuildable part

    From your post, I gather that you do not have an ohmmeter or a multimeter to check the ohms of your coil? May I respectfully suggest you might want to make that your next purchase. If you are going to wrap your own coils, it is critical IMHO to know the resistance. :)

    iTaste MVP v2 Owners Group

    Actually, I would think you would experience a slightly different vape between voltage and wattage settings, even if the settings are theoretically equivalent. First of all, recognize that in the wattage mode the MVP is sensing the resistance of the atomizer and adjusting the voltage to deliver...

    Where are the smoking cessation studies?

    What kind of studies are necessary, and why? Does the personal testimony of the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of former tobacco users who have switched—in whole or in part—from smoking to vaping, count for nothing? Only dedicated, irrational ANTZ would say that we are all, or mostly...
