    VV or no VV That is the question!

    I wish I'd gotten a good VV device right from the start. It would have saved me several hundred (yeah, seriously) dollars on almost-but-not-quite hardware. I freaked when I first saw the price of my ProVari, but then I realized it was less than a month's worth of cigarettes and I don't have to...

    let's settle this !!

    I've tried all of them, and I wound up back with poly filled cartos. The polycarbonate tubing on tanks isn't compatible with my preferred juices - cinnamon flavoring makes it disintegrate. The exposed coil wire baked the juice and made it go bad after a few days of vaping. Replacing the guts is...

    Pre veteran thread (2011)

    And I made my first post as soon as I registered, so I guess it's gonna happen sometime after 7:18 PM on December 18th.

    Pre veteran thread (2011)

    I'm so confused. I've seen the pre-vet thread and knew it was here and knew I was going to turn vet in December, but I just got an invite and I'm not a month away - more like two months. Math error? Rule change? Oh well - Hi! Pre-vet here.

    If you are thinking of getting a provari...

    I've tried the tanks and they aren't compatible with my favorite juices, so I use cartos. It's still great to not have to worry about which ohm cartos are out of stock. My usual range is out? No big deal, I just bump the volts a little.

    Blueberry Muffin

    I can tell you the difference between Blueberry Muffin and Blueberry Pie - I've tried both of those. My sister is a Blueberry Muffin fan, and I prefer Blueberry Pie. If you like the flavor of the blueberry to be stronger, you might want to give the pie a shot. I found a much stronger blueberry...

    Sweetened juices and tooth decay?

    There was a big thread about this, a dentist weighed in and gave a resounding 'no'.

    How do you charge an e-cig without electricity?

    It depends on the car, and the strength of the EMP. I've got a 1978 that wouldn't be touched, because the only thing electronic in it is the little box that triggers the coil, and it's completely surrounded by metal (Faraday cage) and grounded to the body of the car. It would take a seriously...

    The Ms. T order status thread

    It could still be delivered tomorrow. They don't always update the status with that number - they just guarantee delivery notification, not tracking.

    Fashionable ProVari Lanyard?

    Of the holsters/belts/boots combo? Or the duvet cover? :)

    Griff's Leather Mod Holsters

    And I appreciate the care that shows.

    Fashionable ProVari Lanyard?

    Have one made. You could choose a texture and color and design exactly the way you want, out of exactly the material you like (leather, cloth, whatever). I kinda get the fashionable thing, from a guy perspective. I do have a brown leather holster and a black leather holster, so it will match...

    Is anyone getting a false "low battery" flashing led?

    Something else people should keep in mind when they're using the longer batteries and spacer is that half the electrical circuit goes through the body of the ProVari. When the spacer is used, you're cutting way down on the contact area between the cap and the main body. That means thread...

    Got mine!

    I second the cigar case, if you want a hard-sided case. I got one and tried it, but found that I liked something else better. I found a soft zipper case designed for a 7" navi unit at an auto parts store. It holds my spare ProVari (in a nylon sleeve to protect it from scratches), my spare...

    ProVari stops working after a few hits

    I'll be honest and say I personally haven't noticed much difference. I've tried everything from 1.6 ohm to 3.2 ohm and, adjusting for the proper voltage, I get equally good hits from both. But like everything else, it's a completely personal experience. I can tell the difference between a...

    First order - how'd I do?

    The only ones you listed that I've tried are the New Watermelon, Snickerdoodle Cookies, and Strawberry Shortcake. I liked all of them.

    Order 15454 is shipped. Placed late afternoon on the 14th, so about 6 days to ship. I'm happy.

    ProVari stops working after a few hits

    As the wire in the carto's coil heats up, the resistance drops. When it cools, it goes back up. If you're using a carto that's borderline too low anyway, there's not much wiggle room. The advantage of variable voltage is that you don't have to use low resistance anymore. You can go as high as...

    E-1 Errors with new Batteries???

    I've had that happen to me a few times, but when I've checked the cartomizer, the resistance was suddenly different. I had one carto that went from 2.9 ohms - steady for days - and was suddenly 1.2 ohms. I didn't believe my ProVari when it said that, so I measured it with my DMM - yup, 1.2 ohms...

    Order 15454 is still awaiting fulfillment (as am I), but with this I expect it'll be any time now.
