    P3 Provari

    What's the difference between VV and VW? Simply this: Take the desired wattage and multiply it by your resistance and take the square root. That's the voltage.

    Hcigar kayfun lite plus not firing on provari

    It's not the screw. It's the length of the center post insulator. Adding a gasket to the screw will cause the screw head to protrude out more and will contact the terminal. You may switch out the insulator but the new one may not be any better. Try to save the insulator because they're hard to...

    Hcigar kayfun lite plus not firing on provari

    Punch a hole in the tape, insert screw, and trim the edges with a razor blade. It will be enough to lengthen the central pin screw.

    What type hardware do you use the most?

    At home I use a Provari with a Kayfun 3.1 mostly. Sometimes I use a AGA-T2 and an IGO-L for testing flavors. I'm getting an Zen Z-Atty-Pro for my birthday. When I'm out and about I use an EGO Spinner with an old fashioned Vision Vivi Nova Mini stoked up with a strong flavored tobacco. I vapr...

    I started vaping, because...

    I liked to smoke cigars. Maybe 1 a day. But anything worth smoking will cost you at least $10 a pop. My brother in law gave me an e-cigar with a flavor that flipped me out and I've been vaping since then.

    Will you continue to vape if liquid nicotine is banned?

    None of the options of the survey fit me. If they ban nicotine I'll get lab equipment to measure nicotine levels and go organic. I'll be so furious with the government that I'll grow my own tobacco so I won't have to pay their taxes.

    Do you use zero nic e-liquid?

    I like nicotine. Last winter I drove home on 200 miles of ice covered roads. I couldn't have done it without NIC and coffee.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    Don't get me wrong. I think % is best for large samples. I also think that the overall flavor is more determined by the relative proportion of the flavors. if you are close.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    I think that it's right at the tip that counts. The model is crude but I got within 6% to actual tests which is darn good for an engineering model.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    I'm sharing this because I did a lot of work on it. I was as confused as ENAUD when I first got into DIYing.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    When I do a test I do it with water, PG, and VG.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    zoiDman,, the theory is that the surface tension force is proportional to the circumference of the tube. This is balanced by the weight of the drop at the point of release. The constant of proportionality is the coefficient of surface tension. Wikipedia has a good article under Pendant Drop Test.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    The model is (Volume) x (density) x (acceleration of gravity) = (pi) x (diameter at tip) x (coefficient of surface tension) x sine(angle of contact) The drop detaches when the angle of contact is 90 degrees, i.e. sine(90 degrees) = 1. Plug in the values of density and coefficient of surface...

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    zoiDman, you are partially right. I should have said tube circumference not diameter. I was off by pi. You are off by the radius.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    Remember, I'm talking about PG, not water.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    Leaded50, A standard eye dropper you get in the store for medicine gives 20 drops per ml for water based liquids. The thin eye droppers I got from Wizard Labs drip 60 drops for ml. The tube diameter determines it.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    Heabob, your .025ml per drop is dead on the mark, but for PG only.

    Why Drops Regarding flavoring?

    A standard eye dropper gives 20 drops per ml. This is the standard definition of a metric drop. If you test it out, it works. But this is for water base solutions and it doesn't work for PG or VG. According to the Pendant Drop theory, surface tension force is proportional to the...
