    I discovered the other day that one of my P3/510 and beauty ring are MIA. That mod was used with a P3 Kabuki. I'll probably find it some day but made me realize how useless a P3 top without adapter is.

    I placed an order for some springs and P3 adapters yesterday at noon. No shipment notification yet either.

    Good idea... thanks!

    It gets curioser and curioser, LOL. I was mainly interested in the stock spring(s). But all of it is informative.

    Thanks for that. I suspected the "fuse rating" was fuzzy, given the nature of a spring fuse.

    Can I use e-cig to quit smoking?

    Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! LOL, from a 2.5 PAD a day smoker (really 3 but I never admit it). Yours is an impressive feat. Mine was bad enough.

    Anyone sourced replacement battery compartment screws for the Radius? It has to be out there... unlikely Provape had them custom machined...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    And I bet it is well north of 9A :) Nothing wrong with that but I suspect it would not be a good idea to put a protected 18650 in there! (in terms of risk if one is not extremely careful and building for low power) ETA: I find it "most peculiar" that that spec is not front and center. It's...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    Just out of curiosity I looked at their site but could not find a spec on that spring. If it's there you need a secret handshake to find it :). Do you have a link to your 9A spec? Don't see a listing for a sub-ohm spring in their store either...

    Is there a specified maximum current (trip) rating on a Rio Grande spring/fuse? Or any other 18650 mechanical Reo...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    I remember watching super_x_drifter's coiling videos on Youtube. He's a big Rea-only fan and in this video (on mech safety) he says his target build is 0.45R, which is 9.3A. Your 0.5R is pushing the bloody envelope of a 9A fuse :). I don't remember if he talked about the max for a Reo...

    Possible alternative we could push instead of FDA Regulations?

    My understanding is that if you over-discharge a protected battery to a sufficient degree, the protection circuit fails... catastrophically. I have no idea what that threshold is, and thus my question. If a protected battery can handle 8.5A and fail gracefully then it might pass muster. I...

    Yes, they are designed very similarly to our mods. But are ANY of them UL approved?

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Now you're talking a 55 gal drum full of worms!

    What do you consider to be a good juice testing dripper?

    I was just tacitly suggesting that it might take quite a bit of trial and error (read: expense) to find that equivalence. You apparently did, but I never have. Nor did I spend $500+ trying to get there :)
