    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

    I thought it might be defective, and contacted ProVari. They said it was not uncommon for the memory loss, but they were working on it. Usually when the battery gets too low. I was trying to get an idea if anyone else had experienced this issue.

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3 *PART 2*

    Anyone else having trouble with their P3 forgetting all the settings? Mine erases the memory sometimes when I change the battery. Very annoying!

    Best Clearomizer

    Like was said earlier, it depends a lot on the juice. I normally used unflavored now, and the coils seem to last forever (more than a couple of months). When I put some flavors in, the coils start tasting nasty within a week or so.

    Having trouble finding a 2-wire battery voltage meter

    Because you don't measure voltage directly. You measure the current through a known resistance, and extrapolate the voltage.

    Best option for my Darwin

    I am still using my old Darwin for out and about. Currently I am using a Stardust clearomizer, which I have to modify to make it fit. Do I have any better options now, like a small tank? In the office I use a ProVari with a Zen genesis, but do not go out with it, because I can't tip it over...

    rich at nicvape

    I e-mailed Rich a month ago and got an immediate reply. Ordered yesterday, and it arrived today. Well packed. Looking forward to doing more business with them.

    What's up Sidewinder/Zenesis 2

    I was considering retiring my old Darwin, and looking at some of the newer options. The Darwin was limited on what would fit on it, and the switch has gotten sporadic. I have a ProVari, that I like. I was looking at the Sidewinder and the Zenesis 2, but it doesn't look like they have many...

    Being a christian and smoking / vaping

    I used to intentionally smoke outside the door of our church, just to infuriate the hypocritical and legalistic jerks there. Some of them got pretty upset. I do believe in living my life according to my convictions, and not someone else's. But, now, I probably wouldn't be so overt, just...

    Vaping by temperature? A question for people smarter than me.

    I think you are on the wrong track. Assuming the wick is wet, and not dry, the temperature is not going to get above the boiling point of your juice. It would be like saying, do I want water to boil at 250 degrees, or 150 degrees?

    Multimeter Confusion in Paradise

    I got some spring-loaded clips to use with my meter. they clip onto the wires, so I get a more consistant connection. Also, I noticed you set your range to 200. If your meter has a lower range, that would give you better accuracy/resolution.

    What is with the leaky Clearomizers?

    I always had trouble with the tanks cracking and leaking, too. But you will find that some flavors cause the plastic to crack. If you use non flavored juice, they will never crack. You need to use something with a polycarbonate, metal, or glass housing for those flavors.

    vaping in the airport?

    I try to maintain a low profile in the airport; turn to the wall to exhale, etc. It helps that I do not use something that looks like a cigarette. I use a Darwin or a ProVari. If asked, I just say it's my asthma inhaler, and they go away.

    not happy with e-cigs so far

    I am not an expert, and I wasted way too much money on these initially, but if you keep with it, you will be successful. After trying the normal route, I discovered that the batteries (I was using the 808 ones) were not quite enough, and bought a Darwin. It is almost a waste for me, as I...

    why are those spiders in my passthrough

    thanks, guys. I had thought I would make my own passthroughs, if all I needed was a tube and a micro-switch. After taking that one apart, $14 seems really cheap.

    why are those spiders in my passthrough

    Thank you, the output is 5.0V same as the input. I was thinking possibly some type of relay (MOSFET or the like?). a lot more complicated than I thought, anyway.

    Kr808d-1 carto's. How hot is hot?

    Hey, not an expert, but do know a few things. The resistance of the atomizer/whatever times the current squared is the power/heat produced by the coil. Doesn't really matter, but for instance, my KR808D-1 produces about 5-7 Watts of heat. Note that this is not a temperature, any more than...

    why are those spiders in my passthrough

    Hey all, received a pass-through for a KR808D-1. Defective on arrival. Wasn't worth the hassle to return it. Thought the switch was bad, so took it apart to replace switch. It's just a pass-through, 5V in from the USB connector, a simple NO switch to the cartomizer, 5V out to the cartomizer...

    Need a Strong 5 volt Manual Sealed Battery for KR808D-1 Coolcarts

    the voltage for a battery is dependent upon the chemistry of the battery. So a lead-acid like you will have in your car produces 2V per cell (they link 6 cells to get the 12V). I believe your only option is to link in series batteries to bring the voltage up to what you want, or a higher...
