    Dripper confusion.... Whenever I decide I want xyz, then a new abc comes out :(

    Look at current recommendations, pull the trigger and buy one. You'll never actually catch up, there will always be something newer and shinier that people rave about until the next 'shiny and new' thing pops up. I'm still using (and content) with my IGO-L!!

    FDA Regulating Hardware or Juice?

    Hardware is just hardware. Worse case scenario you can make your own. The 'juice' is the active ingredient that you can't make yourself (liquid nicotine). Nicotine is the reason that the various governments can tax tobacco products at the 'sin tax' level. Nicotine is why we have all of these...

    How do you respond to polite criticism?

    If you are polite, I am polite. I try to educate and refute erroneus information. We are all allowed to be ignorant on some things, but on the other hand, there is no good cure for stupid!

    Got a New Mod Today - They Do Make A Difference - My Journey to Provari

    V3 just might be a electronics upgrade. Send in your V2.5 and a couple of bucks and they'll upgrade it to V3. That's what they did for V2 to V2.5 if I recall properly..

    Anyone else preparing for the end??

    Lets cut through all the BS and "what-ifs". If you think the stuff you want to buy will be cheaper in a year, wait and buy it then. If you think the stuff you want to buy will be more expensive in a year, then buy it now. What do you think the chances of nicotine liquid (in particular) to be...

    Nitecore i2 acting funny.

    Doesn't sound good. I have a Nitecore 4. I put a low battery in, get one blinking light. As the battery charges up, the first light goes steady and the next starts blinking. When the battery is fully charged, all three lights are steady. Personally, I would buy a new battery charger!

    Rebuildable for a Provari help

    The higher the gauge number, the less wraps it will take to get the same resistance. I'll use five wraps of 32 gauge to get ~1.8 ohms, eight wraps of 30 gauge to get the same 1.8 ohm resistance.

    Can't use new kayfun...destroying provari center pin

    As mentioned, remove the screw. Smooth it down using a fine file, or rub it against a piece of sandpaper laying flat on a table, or even use an emery board (used for doing finger nails). Does sound like shoddy manufacturing on something that costs that much!!

    How Safe are E cigs really.

    If you smoke cigarettes now, you know how hazardous to your health they are. Vaping is most likely safer. Make your own decision. FDA approves a drug for sale presumably after "extensive testing". Then the problems and lawyers pop up on TV. So far no real accredited scientific...

    New Vapor from Michigan

    Welcome to the forums, and a big welcome to the "recovering smoker" society. I'm ex-military, smoked for more than forty years. Never could get off the coffin nails. E-cigs helped me quit, and I just passed my first year anniversary of being cigarette free. Stick with these and you can do it!!!

    Is PG vapour really deadly harmful and toxic?

    My wife spread the pool cover on the lawn to let it dry out in the sun. I found out about it after about a half an hour. I now have an 18 foot diameter yellow crop circle on my lawn. Do not vape pool covers as they kill grass! Original post just smells like a deposit left by a troll..

    How many backup parts are necessary?

    I started out with a cig-alike 808 starter kit. Got off cigarettes. Got another 808 kit. Decided vaping was for me! Bought a Provari. Hobby quickly developed from there! (G)
