    Atmistique mod's accessories and more

    I am pleased to report that the replacement center part that Atmistique sent me has solved all my problems! There is no added resistance; atomizers meter just the same on the ProVari, with and without the Hippo. And, the Kayfun Lite+ now threads on smooth as butter and makes a beautiful...

    GrimmGreen makes the call - no more ProTanks!

    Since the stock coils on ProTanks are so hit-and-miss, I never even use them; I immediately remove the stock wick and coil and rebuild with a cotton microcoil ... nothing wrong with the ProTanks that a good rebuild can't fix! I actually prefer the original ProTanks. I have four of them in...

    Biggest baddest bestest charger?

    A third vote for the XTar VP1 ... this has been an exceptional charger for me; much better than the Pila, IMO.

    Penelope V2

    I don't vape hot enough for my mouthpiece AC tip to heat up much, but it's easy to see why it might heat up more ... the AC tip actually screws into the mouthpiece at its narrowest point, just above the coils; here, you have direct metal-to-metal contact with what I would think would be the...

    help setting up cheesecloth wick in kayfun 3.1

    I used to be a real fan of cotton cheesecloth, until I found organic cotton balls. Now, as Thrasher observed, cheesecloth has kind of fallen by the wayside ... it's today's blue foam. It occurs to me that noobs might not get the "blue foam" reference ... in the early days of vaping, when folks...

    Tanks with threads vs tanks with no threads?

    First Timer Working On Micro Coils

    From the photos, it looks like the wick is not completely touching all the inside of the coil. This will cause that metallic taste. I suggest a bit more cotton in the wicks. Also, no need to put the cotton down through the wick hole. Just fan it out on the deck over the wick hole. Once the wick...

    Ithaka new rebuildable part

    After going through several tanks full and several cotton microcoil builds using this new rebuildable section for the Ithaka, I am absolutely astounded! It is everything I expected, and then some ... extremely easy to build coils and re-wick, with flavor and vapor to beat the band! It is a very...

    Where are you finding the replacement grommets? I've looked all over and can't find any, cheap or otherwise. :laugh:

    What'd you like to SEE in your Provari in 2014?

    In addition to a flat top option, I'd love to see the straight line styling of the v2 come back. The only thing preventing me buying my second ProVari is the current body style with the circles, which looks cheap and gimmicky to me.

    Just want to know what is in their so called organic juice.

    I recall an episode of the Vape Team dedicated to DIY where one of the quests was Kurt the chemist (a real, professional chemist), and he said that you should keep anything organic (i.e., lipids, essential oils, fats, etc.) out of your e-juice. Apparently, the lungs cannot properly handle and...

    No, no ... I meant the device you had the Penelope attached to ... the battery. Or, are you being coy? :laugh:

    got kayfun lite+ today! problems

    As for the nic, modern atomizers like the Kayfun (and the Russian, and many genesis-style attys) are much more efficient at vaporizing nicotine than, for example, a Protank or a carto ... this means that you most likely WILL get more of a nicotine hit using these high-efficiency devices. That's...
