    How to vape when you're flat-broke.

    I did write this nearly two years ago. Give a guy some slack.

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    Such as?.... and please don't list a mechanical mod. There is no comparison between a regulated device and a mechanical device. They are two different devices intended for two different styles of vaping and are not comparable to eachother.

    COV Gen II is falsely advertised.

    Mine came in two days ago. It's chrome plated brass source: My dremel The tube isn't "fused quartz" source: I'm not an idiot? It's just not glass. It's made of plastic. It bends, it's thin. Either change the description or prepare your mailbox and wallets for refunds. I got it working fine...

    Anyone tried the COV Gen 2?

    I was able to fix the connection using an old AGA parts kit I bought way back. I cut down an AGA center post and put it in place of the GEN II's. It's running now, all coils are a'glow... sucks I had to modify it to get it running but I'm really liking the size.

    Anyone tried the COV Gen 2?

    aaaand it's a piece of ..... It's all chrome plated brass and the tube is poly. That and I can't get it to ground. There's an o-ring that won't sit right no matter what I do, and it's blocking the ground connection. Moving it doesn't help, either. Thanks for the junk, Bruce.

    Let's start Looking for Alternatives to SS Mesh

    Is there anything that won't kill me at this point or do I have to start boiling juice in a pot on my stove while breathing over it?

    Let's start Looking for Alternatives to SS Mesh

    Just don't go so far that you end up trying to prove a hypothesis that's true until proven wrong. Personally I don't think our wicks are getting hot enough for any of this to happen, even dry burning. Kanthal is very resistant to corrosion and the wick doesn't get nearly as hot while dry...

    Let's start Looking for Alternatives to SS Mesh

    The funny part in all of this is that even if this is happening, I believe that vaping SS mesh is still be a healthier alternative to cigarettes.

    Z atty pro , cleaning and changing flavors?

    I do an unflavored switch in my genesis atomizers. Basically when I want to switch flavors, I'll drain the tank and then fill it 1/4 of the way with unflavored and let that wash out the flavor. Then I'll put in the next flavor, by the time the unflavored is almost gone, it's a smooth transition.

    With a filled tank, how long should you be able to hold the fire button until the coils get red?

    IF you're into 100% VG, then yeah I suppose so. Personally I find medium tightness wicks work the best. Too thin and the juice starts boiling inside the wick tube. Too tight and thick liquid has to fight its way up. Somewhere in between is where I like mine. It has enough mass to prevent the...

    With a filled tank, how long should you be able to hold the fire button until the coils get red?

    Sounds pretty average to me for 325 with 100% VG. I would consider making the switch to 400, it appears to be the standard for all types of juices, though I'm sure the next guy who replies will praise 500.

    Octopus RDA

    Only if you drink the tinfoil-hat-club's bathwater. This only depends on whether or not the brass has a lead alloy in it or not. Apparently most brass does but not all brass, which then begs the question, "Does this particular brass contain a lead alloy?" More than likely not, China an't no...

    The Doodlebug

    Hm, after quite a bit of thought over this comment, I've decided to call you a .......... It's not your place to say what I can or cannot afford. The pricing of gear has a lot to do with how it fits into the industry. You expect me to understand how this particular atomizer costs $185 and uses...

    Anyone tried the COV Gen 2?

    I don't trust that single o-ring on such a shallow positioning. Looks like if you so much as flicked it, the top would fly off.

    GGTS, Empire, now a Chinese REO?

    Once again... It's a preproduction mock-up of a final design. This is a prototype.

    No, the Chinese did not invent the genesis-style atomizer, they instead invented the electronic cigarette.
