    Cigarette Flavors

    You won't really finds anything to be a complete match for a cigarette, you just have to find something you like. I use a combination of Desert Ship (MyFreedomSmokes), with a couple of drops of RY4 (CigEasy), and a couple of drops of Turkish (MyFreedomSmokes). I mix these up directly in a Vivi...

    Draw issue with Provari 2.5 and ProTank2

    I have a Protank 2 also. If I screw it down enough to be stable then I get no air. I cut a shim out of an old credit card and put it on the 510 connector. Enough air now but it doesn't fire. After cleaning the flooded topper out I pulled the positive pin out a little bit and it worked. Then...

    Decision Time: Kayfun Lite Plus vs the Russian 91%

    I watched the excellent PB video. The one thing that caught my eye is that one of them (can't remember which) has a deeper fill hole with a grommet in it to prevent leakage. I detest leaking tanks with a passion!! As soon as a clone comes out with a pyrex/quartz/glass tank I'll be ordering it!

    Set up a little coil building "station" in my home office tonight

    A "squared away" work area! Mine is just filled with stuff, but it is all in its place and easily found/reached.

    How many top-fill tanks / clearomizers are there?? I want a NO LEAK solution!!

    Have had good luck with my Vivi Nova v2.5. Top coil, top load, rebuildable coils. Slight amount of fluid on the battery's positive post but nothing a Q-tip can't handle. Now my ProTank 2 on the other hand...

    Is it worth the money to get the new version of the Provari?

    I'm comfortable with my sense of self-worth. I don't care if your car is better than mine, your house is bigger, your wife/girlfriend (boyfriend?) prettier than mine. The Provari gives me a good vape and most important to me is that it is dependable. I can afford to spend a thousand bucks on a...

    Provari Owners, What do you drive?

    An 09 Ford Focus two door coupe, black on black with a five speed manual tranny. Fun little car, less than 10K miles on it (don't drive much anymore). Wife has an 08 Ford Escape for groceries, dogs to the vet, etc. Also a nice car!

    Russian 91% or kfl+

    I'm starting to yearn for a KFL/clone now thanks to you folks(g). And I'm using an IGO L to drip with -- doesn't get easier and I have at least a dozen bottles of different juices lined up here. Drip one, just before it gets dry, eight drops of whatever looks good next, and drip on. No...

    SMOK Vision ViviNova tank and ProVari .......

    I also use a 'genuine' Vivi Nova on my Provari. Very pleased with its performance. Tried a Protank 2. Not pleased. When screwed down enough to be stable, get no air. Took an old credit card and cut a gasket out of it, placed the gasket on the 510 connector. Gives good air but center pin...

    Gauge, length, or number of wraps?

    Vivi Nova 2.5 coil insulator?

    Agree with you there. The little bit of insulating material makes things easier when re-building and as you mention it helps prevent the shorting. Thanks for the reply!

    Vivi Nova 2.5 coil insulator?

    Thanks! Seems a trivial thing, I guess I'll have to look at rebuilders supplies...

    Bizarre, just bizarre

    Missed you Zoe!!! I got tired of fiddling with my Protank 2 and put it into the "emergency box".

    Provari owners sight unseen?

    I relied on forum postings and a video or two. Excellent decision! Just bought myself a backup P for Christmas. No telling when the unthinkable may happen and my one and only Provari gets lost or (I can't think of anything else to put after the word "or")!!!

    Vivi Nova 2.5 coil insulator?

    Been rebuilding the above coil. It has what I would describe as a woven material in the shape of a tube that goes around the coil tails. Makes life much easier for my rebuilding. If someone knows and can tell me (G) what this is called, size, and source would appreciate it! TIA..

    GrimmGreen makes the call - no more ProTanks!

    Ran a ProTank 2 on a Provari. Major problem was if the topper was screwed all the way down to make it stable I got no air, requiring me to loosen the Protank. Put a plastic shim (cut out of an old credit card) onto the 510 connector of the topper. This gave me a good draw but no contact with...

    aga t2 coil dosnt seem hot enough

    In my AGA T 2 I use a cotton wick. About five wraps of 32 gauge Kanthal, 1.8 ohms. Watched a few videos on SS mesh and just didn't feel like making one. A micro coil (1/16th drill bit), a little bit of cotton through the coil and the tail stuffed down into the tank. Works well for me!
