    Is Provape in danger of becoming like Blackberry?

    Since the sneak peak of the Provari version 3 has been released, a lot of mixed reaction has been generated in response to this highly anticipated device. For the diehards/fan boys (I consider myself as one), the recently released first look rendered excitement with new features such as the...

    FDA Did my two Senator's really hear my concerns ?

    Today, I called both of my Senators (Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson) along with my Representative (Tom Graves). This was my second time to call each of their offices in order to voice my concerns over this deeming proposal (My first calls were shortly after the initial reports- I believe...

    Castle RDA

    This is my first high end atomizer, and it is designed to run dual coils. It features three post (The middle one is higher than the two end post), 304 stainless steel, a copper center pin, and air flow control. I typically use a Provari Mini, and wrap micro coils, so I knew I would have to do...

    Cyclone Advise

    Okay- I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a nice RDA. I've settled on the Cyclone due to favorable reviews, and it's looks on the Provari Mini (The device I use most often). However, I noticed two choices are available (A top fed and bottom fed-Both have side air holes). I also have an...

    Is there really a big difference in the quality of vape from low end to high end ?

    I've been an RDA fan for a while (Over a year), but have always used the lower end devices (First was a Phoenix RDA; Currently using a UD IGO-W). The IGO-W is said to be made of 304 SS, and I've been really enjoying it. However, I can't help but think I missing out on something (e.g...

    Hard to believe, but the Mini has been out a year

    One year ago today I received it after it was first released. Still works like a charm without issue. Birthday hat in the pic.

    One Year Vaporversary - Who knew

    It's been one year to date that I decided to give ecigs a try. Started with a disposable, and bought a kit the next day. It took me a while to find the right device / liquid for me (April), but I haven't had tobacco since 12-31-2011. This is the longest I've been without tobacco since I was...

    What am I doing wrong ? REO Grand, 18490, and a kick.

    Got a REO Grand for Christmas. I don't have any 18650 batteries because I elected to use the 18490 AW IMR's that I use with my Provari Mini along with a kick. I know the batteries work and atomizer. The kick is new, but I can't be for sure on it (Never used it until today). Despite my best...

    The Vision Eternity and the REO Grand ?

    I recently saw a video where the Vision Eternity was being used on an REO Grand. I have one (REO Grand) coming soon, but didn't want to void the warranty or potentially cause damage to my new Grand. Is this safe to use on this as a rebuildable atomizer ? Any advise would be welcomed. Vision...

    What's the proper way to clean wick/coil ?

    Anyone know how to clean a genesis style tank (Wick/coil) ? Like if I use a strong flavored juice, what is the proper way to clean the wick/coil so I can prevent leaching ? I've been wanting to try Kretek in my DUD, but scared other juices want taste the same afterwards.

    Phoenix Style Rebuildable Atomizer on a Provari Mini / Weird battery readings

    I have come to enjoy rebuilding my own atomizers, and own two of the Phoenix style copy's. I'm not in the habit of checking my battery status (Typically I just vape it until the Provari Mini blinks). Occasionally, I check to see if the Pila did it's job correctly, and I use CB to see if I have...

    Battery Reading on the Provari Mini / Is this normal ?

    When I check the battery when not loaded it is higher than when loaded. For example, I am currently vaping on a Phoenix Bottom Coil. When I take it off, the battery check reads it has 3.6 volts. When I place it back on it reads it has 3.5 volts. After I take a hit, it reads it has 3.4 volts...

    Crystal Clear Vaping - Awesome customer service

    I have ordered several times from this company, their prices are fair, and shipping is free and expedient. I thought I had received an incorrect order, and contacted them. Turns out it was my error (I didn't have my eyeballs in correctly - Ha; The correct product was received), but Andrew...

    What type of Stainless Steel have I've been using while vaping ?

    Recently, I came across a video interview from a maker of a rebuildable atomizer tank (I'll refrain from mentioning makers/products). The maker was describing how he used surgical steel, and that some stainless steel has lead in it. This worried me. I've been using stainless steel cartomizers...

    The Blu Atomizer and a few modding questions

    So I was bored today and decided to be creative (One of my first attempts at modding something). I got the idea to take one of my Blu Cartomizers (Don't know why I saved them, but I did. I have like 7 packs that I vaped when I first started), and took the wick out of them (Staying around...

    XTAR WP2II battery charger / Spacer Question

    I was going to purchase one of these, but had a few questions about a specific type of spacer that the vendor recommended. They (Lighthound) recommended a 15mm aluminum spacer (15mm Charging Spacer Aluminum). Had a few questions regarding these. 1) Has anyone had any experience with these type...

    So Educate me a little bit why it seems Boge 2.0 seems better than 3.0 on the Provari Mini

    I use Boge Cartos, and have bought a bunch of 3.0 ohm's when I bought the mini. On a few juices I use, it is nice to be able to crank it to 5.0 volts with the 3.0. However, it seems as though I get a better hit with the Boge 2.0 (Have a few left) at about 4.2 volts. Maybe this is a silly...

    Looking for a cheap backup for my Provari Mini / Suggestions or insight welcome

    I have a Provari Mini and am thrilled with it's performance. I almost dropped it a few times, but manage to keep it from happening. My wife bought it as a present, and I really want to keep it nice, and can't afford another Provari at the moment. I would like to have something cheaper that I...

    Did I just get a Joyetech atomizer clone or is it authentic ?

    I am a relatively new vapor, and just started dripping a few weeks ago. I have really enjoyed dripping on a Joyetech LR atomizer, but since I just got a new Provari Mini, I thought I'd try a higher ohm. I ordered two supposedly Joyetech 3.0 ohm atomizers (510), but neither have the Joyetech...
