    Be aware of Russian 91%

    Don't think i've been on the site in over a year, glad I didn't read this thread before getting my 91% though. I might've been dissuaded from purchasing. I run mine on a Provari also, but have had 0 problems with it. First time building a micro coil after a quick dish soap wash and I was off to...

    New ZAP Users

    Haha, Glad you think i'm cutting edge. I'm always willing to weigh cost for functionality. But i digress, I simply want the best vape i can get, just like everyone else. Sometimes willing to try something new to get what people are saying works well. I'm not trying to sell anything or get people...

    Silica/Ekowool Preperation

    Sorry for the late reply, I ran mine straight out the top hole on my ZAP, no folding. Stuck a blunt tip in it and wrapped a 4-5 coil. The Silica did good for about a week, but today I noticed it was getting dark and torching it didn't help make it white again. The flavor was starting to mute a...

    In Praise of Alien Visions E-Juice customer service

    Agreed. They were a pleasure to deal with for me also. I ordered 2x2 BB and GJ to try them out, and the order came in just fine. I Fell in love with the Gorilla and ordered up a 100ml bottle. When my package finally arrived, I tore into it and found... 100ml's of Bobas. Ruh Roh Reorge! So I...

    New ZAP Users

    Just thought i'd chime in here with my latest build. I have had my ZAP for just a couple weeks and love it for at home vaping. When I first got it, the ceramic coil hot spots were too much to deal with. Gave up when it finally broke on the 4th day. So I grabbed a SS wick off my DID clone and...

    Provari holder on a budget.

    Funny thing is, I actually use Auto Cad. Was in the steel business for about 20 years. But this was such an afterthought it wasn't worthy of proper dimensioning. Lol, after glueing it together it was more along the lines of the leaning tower of Pisa. Only after some intense sanding did it...

    Silica/Ekowool Preperation

    Not sure of the Ekowool, haven't used that yet. But for my xs-18 silica braid I boiled it for 7 minutes then torched it till it glowed cut and wrapped then vapid. Tasted great with Gorilla juice.

    Provari holder on a budget.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. No plans to to produce more of them unfortunately. I'm really surprised that there aren't more Provari stands available for this wonderful device. My next build will have to be some sort of belt clip, again surprised there aren't a lot of options in this area.

    Provari holder on a budget.

    Thank you, and that's actually AVE Gorilla Juice. Been thinking of trying legend or Heavenly army though.

    Provari holder on a budget.

    I always did like the look of the block available on the Provape website, but never wanted to spend the money. (For some background, I rolled $250 in spare change to make my Provari purchase a year ago.) So last week I decided to make my own. I went down to a local cabinet maker's shop, asked...

    Post pictures of your working wick and coil setup

    Just getting back into vaping again, didn't want to fuss with ornery coils, so I threw some XS-18 wick in a 4-5 of 32 ga. on my ZAP. Finally able to vape without poking around on the coil every few minutes.

    Bobas is available

    Just ordered 2 Bobas myself. Also going to try the gorilla juice. Returning from a 4-5 month vaping hiatus.

    What is the Difference Between OP and E1?

    I'm not sure what the magic number is for determining OP/E1. Provari might know, but otherwise someone would have to test resistances to find out where it lies. I'm guessing that it's between .8Ω and 0Ω (probably right at 0Ω).

    Hello from NorCal

    Welcome to ECF zach. Yep, their loss. If only more people knew how great the alternative of vaping could be. Maybe you could let them try out some of your greatest flavors and convert them too. :D

    The Jany MiD, here are the product detail!

    That's one thing, but i'll bet they have proprietary threading too. Also, let's get some Mac compatible stuff out there people.

    Can't they Make an Atty/Carto That Lasts Forever?

    For what it's worth, this was some info I came across that seemed to explain it well. "A thin film of oxide is formed on the surface of KANTHAL resistance wire when used in oxidizing atmospheres . At high operating temperatures , this film consist of alumina. The alumina protects the...

    New vaper, Atlanta area. Would love some store suggestions.

    I'm on the other side of the country, but perhaps this will help

    Next step?

    The best suggestion I have for your tanks are to try out either the Vision stardust V3, or the mini vivi nova. As far as the battery goes, too many options out there, and I think they all look sleek, but I did hear about a new joye model called the eVic.... coming soon.

    Provari malfunction.

    Shoot an email off to Provape, they can assist you with suggestions to try or even repair if since it's only a few weeks old. I haven't had this issue, but occasionally I get a no-fire situation. I just figure I hit the button too light though.
