    opinons on back up

    If you are happy with the MVP stick with it and try to avoid buying something new and shiny just because it is new and shiny (g). Perhaps get something smaller (and cheaper) for out and about? That way if it breaks/get lost you aren't out much, and won't be so obvious in use if you worry about...

    E cigarette tax? .... you chris christie

    The thing is, if the government can raise taxes on something that YOU don't do, then that means YOU save money. If the taxes are paid by a small legally discriminated against/abused minority then that is even better. Demonized smokers deserve to be punished in the eyes of too many. "It's for...

    Hello from Michigan

    I just look at the Weather Channel's week long forecast and count how many days the high hits above freezing. Getting three days a week now instead of one or two (or none). Spring might really be in June but it IS coming! (G)

    The end of the Provari??? 95% WA state tax!

    Perhaps ProVapes could keep their manufacturing facility in Washington but move their sales department to another state? Idaho? I'm not too sure about Oregon. That would minimize impact on some of the employees. Of course, I myself would just say "Pack it all up, we're moving to Idaho and...

    Hello from Michigan

    Weather channel saying might get up to eight inches here tonight/tomorrow. Just when the snow banks were getting down enough so I could see to get the Focus out of the driveway!

    How did ProVape not know about this sub-forum??

    Don't fire them -- move most of them over to production!!!

    Kayfun owners - Do you fill from the top or the fill hole?

    Black box edition, top fill method (lazy but it works for me)..

    Kayfun lite plus black clone edition

    I have a 'black box' edition so maybe I am misunderstanding you (g). On mine, the center (hollow) pin/screw that allows air to get to the coil and holds the positive mounting block in place stuck up too far. I took a fine file and filed it down flush to the top of the mounting block..

    Maybe I don't need a repair after all?

    Perhaps the plastic button had a little bit of 'flash' (excess plastic from the molding process) on it and it has worn off?

    Do I need get my second provari ??

    Maybe, maybe not! If you lose your only Provari you'll be forced to buy something at a gas station while waiting for your new one from ProVapes. The dissatisfaction from vaping with some thing from the gas station will cause you to go postal on your boss, causing you to be fired. No job may...

    "You vape girlie flavours..."

    Another retired Warrant Officer here, and I'll vape what ever I damn well feel like. My answer would be "So?" Or if I was especially irritated, it could be "How about I take off the topper and show you how my Provari can be used as a pair of brass knucks?" (BIG grin)

    On the news - Dictatorships ban ecigarettes, house members found something to badger

    Just have to give an "R" rating to films that do not toe the party line! Amount of money lost to a film maker between a PG-13 (excessive violence/words/brief nudity/non-tobacco drug use) versus an R rating (brief use of a 'tobacco' product) is probably quite a bit. That and they'll excise/blur...

    trying to build my first coil and my provari keeps telling me my omes are to high

    Depends on what you are wrapping it around and amount of wraps as the total length of the wire is what gives you the resistance. I use a 1/16th inch drill bit with 32 gauge Kanthal, five wraps gives me about 1.8 ohms. I use cotton for a wick. If you are using a thicker mandrel (or wick...

    RBA question for a Provari

    I like my IGO L...simple to build, simple to use. Pull the drip tip, eight drops of juice, re-install drip tip and vape away! 1/16th inch drill bit for a mandrel, 32 gauge Kanthal, cotton wick. About five wraps give me 1.8 ohms. Temco is about the cheapest Kanthal source. This is the url for...

    Years worth of gear? Overkill or not enough?

    I really just use four different devices...KayFun clone, AGA T2, Igo L, Vivi Nova v2.5. Three tanks plus a dripper. Usual boxes of cartos and clearos for just in case. I rebuild my toppers, so my main recommendation is getting into rebuilding your own coils. Not that hard, and you can count...
