    The ZAP Rebuildable atomizer (RBA)

    I got mine yesterday and, as others have seen, the supplied coil fires evenly and I burned it in the way the Zen video suggested. I've been using 3.0 ohm boge cartos, and this tests out at 2.3 ohms. To keep the same power, I guess I'll start at 3.9 volts and adjust from there. But since I'm...

    What's the Latest, Brandon?

    I've been through a business move, and I DO NOT envy her. And mine was easier, because it was a software company, where our production could be done about anywhere, and if we had people not able to work for a few days it just meant our next release date might be pushed out a little. Ms T, know...

    The ZAP Rebuildable atomizer (RBA)

    I'm actually glad I had trouble with my ProVari after two years and had to come in and ask a question - otherwise I wouldn't have known about this tank and wouldn't have one arriving tomorrow. It'll be my first RBA, but I'm looking forward to learning how to roll and oxidize a wick and turn a coil.

    A question for ProVape (or anyone else who can answer)

    OK, it all seems to be working now.... I got my spare to the point its working reliably, so I sat down with my regular unit and my dremel kit. I used a plastic bristle attachment and thoroughly cleaned the threads on both sides, then I applied noalox. That took care of the no power problem...

    A question for ProVape (or anyone else who can answer)

    Well, I guess it's something with the threads or with the spring seat. I'll have to find a way to clean them thoroughly. Last night I couldn't get it into a position that worked. Out of frustration I loosened and tightened it over and over again, and it started working. The more I do it, the...

    A question for ProVape (or anyone else who can answer)

    I've had two ProVari regulars for a couple of years - started using them when they first came out. In the last two days I've had strangeness happen with both of them. I'm kind of thinking it isn't the ProVaris, because one has been sitting in my supply kit as a spare for most of the last two...

    Ms T's Order Status Thread - September 2012 through ?

    Yeah, I made my huge order last week. I figure it'll probably get here sometime next week, no stress. I like to plan WAY ahead.

    This doesn't matter to anyone but me

    I'm guessing this carpet was done sometime in the late 70s/early 80s? I remember when that was popular. Like so much of the 80s, it was regrettable. [shuddering as I remember a perm I got, back in the bad old 80s]

    This doesn't matter to anyone but me

    Too late, the contractor did that 10 years ago when the house was built. It was one of the first things changed - now it's all tile with epoxy-based grout. That's another thing that won't be changing - I couldn't afford it. Besides, I'm the one that laid the tile and designed the mosaic by the...

    This doesn't matter to anyone but me

    but I'm still excited, and how sad is it that I have nowhere to bubble over about it but here? And wasn't that a run-on sentence? Finally, after two years, I'm completely redoing the master bedroom and bathroom in my house. When I get done, it won't look even a little bit like it did when my...

    I'm getting dumb...

    You know, as much as I enjoy his writing, I'm just not convinced I should take life advice from a guy who wanted to schtup his mother. And put that in print.

    Just received my very first order!

    Ms T is the only juice I vape, and it's kept me off cigarettes for almost two years. I was lucky, and stumbled across her almost as soon as I quit. I just placed my most recent order, and scrolled back through - my first order was January of 2011. It started out a couple small orders per month...

    Bought a ProVari V2 in the classies, and I can't get it to turn on. Am I missing something ?

    Pressing the button 5 times quickly should get it to display Pu (Power Up) whether it's turned on or not. If it isn't displaying anything, contact ProVape - they have their own section in the forum. My experience with them has been great. As you're not the original purchaser there may be a small...

    ohms: what's the difference?

    Ohms tells you how much resistance the coil (the heating coil inside your carto) puts up to the flow of electricity. Lower resistance - a smaller number - means more power flows through, means more heat, means more vapor, means more flavor. Well, until you hit that ugly point, where you're...

    Curious

    I didn't vote for him in the last presidential election. He lost my vote when he called the issue of marriage equality "semantics" - he clearly didn't "get it", and so he didn't get my vote. I also didn't vote for McLame/Psycho, so I didn't cast a vote for president. I was raised a...

    Funny question for a dude

    I got one of those "universal" zippered cases they sell at auto parts stores (can't get more dude than that) and carry my supplies in it. The 7" one holds everything I need for a week (seriously - I'm good for 7 days if the zombie apocalypse hits) of vaping pleasure.
