    looking to upgrade

    Maybe you'll like the iTaste VTR. I don't think a mod that tells you what voltage to set exists, though. That is for your taste buds to decide.

    Setting aside the Aspire Nautilus for now

    An air flow control valve for the Protank will give it a second life.

    Provari 2.5 is Ordered

    Do you mean "Lo", as in "Light on" / "Light off"? That is a function of the menu, not an error code.

    Provape - A New Respect

    I think a definition of a mechanical mod that includes regulated mods, is uncommonly, and unpractically, broad. A mech is largely considered the antonym of a regulated device. IMO, it would be more accurate to call the PV-1 just a mod - as opposed to an Ego, where the battery cannot be...

    Provari or other regulated mod

    A broken record, OTOH, is not so nice when left to skip indefinitely. :facepalm:

    "voltage drop" rant

    You can buy copper rods on fleabay. If you get a C10100 grade copper rod 14 or 15 mm in diameter, cut it to length with a hacksaw, and throw some insulating tubing on it, you have yourself a dummy flat top battery with no resistance to speak of. Or maybe a thinner rod with thicker insulation...

    if you compensate for resistance with voltage, what difference does it make?

    These Wikipedia articles may be useful for understanding regulated mods: Buck converter Boost converter Buck–boost converter

    "voltage drop" rant

    You can measure low resistances with a voltmeter, a resistor with a known value, and a stable voltage source: Put a no-res dummy battery in the mod. Put the known resistor in series with the mod, and apply a voltage to the circuit. (Of course you have to select a known resistance value and...

    if you compensate for resistance with voltage, what difference does it make?

    The first thought that strikes me is that the step-up converter of the zmax must be much more efficient than the step-down converter. It is strange that the difference is so big, though.

    if you compensate for resistance with voltage, what difference does it make?

    It is not the voltage that has to build up; any half decent mod will reach the correct voltage in milliseconds. "Coil lag" is caused by the resistance wire itself needing to build up temperature. The technical term for this is heat capacity. Using the same wire thickness, more ohms...

    Whats the best gauge wire

    30 is good for Protanks IMO. Some use 28. Some use 32.

    Provari or other regulated mod

    How much did you use to spend on cigarettes/tobacco every month before you started vaping? There. Justified. No need to thank me. ;)

    What do you guys if your flying?

    Stealth vaping in the lavatory of a plane can set off the smoke alarm. Bad press is the last thing the e-cig community needs right now, so I wouldn't advise stealth vaping on a plane in any case. If the flight is long and you need your fix, try to make do with gum, patches, or other licit...

    How to find my "sweet spot"?

    In this context, voltage and power (watts) are two sides of the same coin. Adjust one, and the other will follow as a matter of course.

    Stingray clone. Which to get? Ehpro, infinite, other?

    I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of my Fasttech Stingray clone. Here it is in 18350 mode with a Taifun on top.

    why provari is so popular yet expensive?

    I have been wondering about the superiority of the DNA chip over the Provari when it comes to step-down regulation for some time now. I hear it over and over: The DNA is better in every aspect. But every time I ask about the details ... :tumble:

    why provari is so popular yet expensive?

    With VV, I don't have to do any math, nor do I have to make changes all the time. Oh well, we're all different. ;) Oops. Seems like I'm doing it wrong right now. It's ... two-ish? A bit below? I am absolutely not certain. I guess that means I'll have to stop vaping now, until I've checked my...

    why provari is so popular yet expensive?

    What if I want to use it to commute? Will my favorite gas can be easily beaten by one of your gas cans then too? By which measurements? Are the leather seats better too? Is the stereo better? (I don't have the answers, but it seems like you do.) Can you give me some details on how it...

    why provari is so popular yet expensive?

    Maybe, maybe not. They're not telling.

    Lower power safer? New artical implies that.

    AFAIU, leaking scientific results to the press before peer review is frowned upon in the scientific society. I think that is perfectly understandable: If you don't even have the confidence to sit tight and wait until after peer review before having your fifteen minutes, it indicates that you...
