    What size and pitch are the Provari end caps?

    I've tried searching, and can't find any info on it. I want to have my brother machine an end cap for me, but I don't know what size the threads are. If all else fails, I'll order another cap and send it to him to check out. I just don't want to send him my end cap to play with while he figures...

    Well shoot. That ain't good.

    Well, I've only had my ProVari for a week, and I've got to send it in to be repaired. :( I cleaned the battery contact this morning with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol, and now it doesn't fire anymore. It gets power, it will go into the menus, but I keep getting the E8 error when I try to...

    Only took me a year! I'm finally starting to get organized.

    I've been vaping for a year. I love it and have no intentions of stopping anytime soon! I finally got around to getting a better organizer to keep all of my stuff straight. I'm sure you can find it other places, but I got this particular one Amazon.com: Akro-Mils 10144 44 D 20-Inch by 16-Inch...

    Looking for a PV holder for the car? Picked this up a couple days ago.

    I was looking for a better way to carry my PV while driving. I had been tossing it in the cup holder to roll around, but since I just got a ProVari, I wanted something a little more stable, and something that wouldn't scratch it up. I found this at Wal-Mart, but I'm sure other places sell...

    Now the REAL mailman stalking begins!

    Holy crap that's fast! I ordered Thursday afternoon. It shipped Thursday. Even though it's coming from Washington to South Carolina, the tracking number says it's out for delivery this morning! (Saturday!) Now I just have to keep myself from going and sitting by the mailbox for the next few...

    Help me pick a LED color!

    So tomorrow is the day. I get paid, and I can get my ProVari ordered. Yay!! Now I just have to make up my mind on a LED color choice. I'm getting a black full size ProVari. Does anyone have pictures they can post with the green and blue displays? More so green. I can find videos on Youtube with...

    Made it a year as of today. That was pretty easy, actually!

    I guess I just got lucky. I received my V2 starter kit in the mail January 17th of 2012, charged it, took my first vape, and haven't wanted a cigarette since. It was just an awesome experience. That quickly grew. A lot! Now I've got multiple tackle boxes full of gear sitting around with cartos...

    How the heck did I do that?

    I just got a package in today from the classifieds. Great seller, Greatov. I bought an AGA-T and a Phoenix from him to give this RBA thing a whirl. Never built a wick before. Could be fun. :) Anyway, within about 30 minutes I had a silica wick in the Phoenix and a mesh wick in the AGA. Both are...

    Question about retail locations in Alabama

    Ok, so I know there's an Alabama section on the boards, but I thought this would get more viewers that might not regularly check the Alabama section. I'm in South Carolina, but my son and his wife are about to move to Sheffield, AL. Does anyone know of a retail location around Sheffield...

    Help with locating a brick and mortar store

    Help! I'm on vacation in Washington, DC, so I'm on my wife's laptop. I have a website bookmarked back at home that allows you to search for brick and mortar stores by address, zip code, etc., but I can't remember it. If anyone can point me at the website, or at any store in the DC or Alexandria...

    First impressions on the Switchback from VaporBeast

    Got my switchback in the mail today from vaporbeast. Not a bad unit at all. Seems to be well build and solid. Has a good feel to it. It does fairly well at 3.7 with LR cartos. Personally, I prefer higher voltages, so I'll probably stick with my madvapes VV box for my daily driver, but the...

    Looking forward to trying out my free Switchback!

    Well, I have a new favorite shop! I ordered a carto deal and drip tip from vaporbeast this morning. Got an e-mail a short time later from "chief beast" Tim that my order number was the winner of a Switchback in the color of my choice. So now I'm not only waiting for my cartos and drip tip, I'm...

    These guys are awesome!

    I can't say enough good things about Madvapes. They have a good selection, good prices, great products, and fast shipping. I just got my 5ml tank yesterday, and this thing rocks! I filled it up at noon yesterday. It's a little after 11AM today and I've still got juice left in it! I'll definitely...

    Got my first convert!

    Man that's a good feeling! Two weeks ago my niece and her fiance Lyle ate lunch with my family. Of course I was showing Lyle my set-up and was telling him how much I loved it and that I hadn't had a cig since I started. Today they showed back up and Lyle was showing me his new e-cig! Granted, he...

    Well, we'll see what happens!

    I just sent an email to several folks at my local new station. I'm trying to see if they would like to do a story on personal vaporizers in light of the recent coverage on the battery failure in Florida. I got my point across that I would like to see a story with a positive spin on PV's to try...

    My first mod! Kinda give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    Finally finished my first mod. a VV box kit from Madvapes. Tried assembling it with my old clunky crappy soldering iron, but I only succeeded in screwing up the board. When I turned the master switch on, it was firing all the time. Not good!! But just a day later my replacement control board kit...

    Probably already answered somewhere, but what does a Provari do that a LavaTube doesn't?

    Ok, so I'm looking at getting a LT. But the Provari looks attractive as well. The downside is, I don't really want to spend that much on a Provari. The main features that I'm looking at is longer battery life(I use a ego-t 1000mah passthrough now), a consistent voltage throughout the battery...

    Question about storing cartos.

    I'm still definitely in a learning phase. :) After I refill my cartos, should I replace the white "plug" for storage, or just put a condom back on? I'm currently putting the plug back and putting the condom back on. I like using a drip tip, but I don't like having to pop out the plug every time...

    I can't say enough good things about...

    VapingZone! I live near Columbia, so I stopped by there after work today. Great folks, very knowledgeable, and a great selection. I picked up an ego-t passthrough, some boge LR cartos, a XXXL DCC, and some great flavors. Icy pineapple, clove, red hot cinnamon, and DK Red. Great experience, and...

    Ok, it's official. I love my PV!

    Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, and new to vaping. I've been lurking for about a week now while I'm learning and getting into this. I got my PV 5 days ago, and have not touched an analog since! I went from 2 1/2 to 3 packs a day of "little cigars", which are quite strong, to a V2 with red...
