    Silly question

    I went through large numbers of cartotanks before trying the Vivi Nova, and I sure wish I'd tried it first. Vivi nova wins big on simplicity/ease, reliability/consistency, low initial cost, low maintenance cost. I have a sweet repairable atomizer from a co-op coming sometime soon and I actually...

    Helloooo

    Bravo, Paul! It's kind of amazing how well these silly fog machines can replace smoking, and perhaps even surpass it. Glad to hear your first experience was so good; many vapers struggle to find the right gear.

    Trying to figure all this out!!!

    Welcome, Brenda! I tried The Blu system, then a Bolt mod with cartomizers, tankomizers, plain atomizers, Phoenix rebuildable atomizer, and been unsatisfied with all of these. (Messes, hassles, bad flavors, costs...) My satisfying setup now is a Vivi Nova on top of a provari with DIY liquid...

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Sincere thanks for that info and recommendation. I have been using my cheap charger from Smoketech, which I was sold to use on my Ultrafires, for a day now and it's been working fine.

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Ok. So anyway, what do I need to know about my charger to know if it will work with the AW IMRs?

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Batteries arrive tomorrow from Provape. Awesome quick order. Thanks, folks! My charger will physically accommodate the AW IMRs, and charges my Ultrafires to 4.19 V. Anything else I need to know in order to determine if my charger will work?

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Needless to say, I am really looking forward to using it. :) I was all set for a much longer wait to receive the provari anyway, so I ain't crying. Yet.

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Perfect answer. Thanks for that explanation! (sigh) OK, I'll wait for the darn AWs. :)

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    Thanks. I'd read all that, but still assumed that I could at least turn on the provari? Is it because my 18500s have a flat top?

    Dead? Or just waiting for AW IMRs?

    I go my Provari in the mail today, and since I don't have the AW IMR 18490s yet I thought I'd just put in a charged Ultrafire protected 18500 to check it out. The Provari wouldn't light up, no matter what I tried. Is this a bottom cap spring problem, or is the Provari being snobby about...

    Rebuildable atomizers

    If you check the Coop section right now you will find an active Coop for a Scubagen v3 mini that is worth a look. Right now there are still about 28 units which were requested, not paid yet, and for which there is nobody waiting on the reserve list. Be courteous and read as much as you can stand...

    RDA Repairable atomizer

    There is still a chance to participate in this co-op, as it has been slightly delayed and there are some no-shows on the order list. Read up on it, ask to be put on the reserve list, and hope you get bumped to "active" before it closes. (At your own risk etc.)

    E-Cig Noob

    This forum has hundreds of members who started with Blu, found that it proved the concept, and then quickly bought a better system. You will often hear them say that they wish they had just bought a better system in the first place and saved some money. It sounds like you are eligible to skip...

    Getting started on Friday (warning: this is long and just my own story)

    How lucky you are to have a store near you which lets you test drive flavors! My attempts to find flavors which work for me has cost me a fair amount, with a lot of loss. Take care of that vendor; they are a real asset.

    We'd take you back, but your re-entrance fee is that you have to come back in January. :)

    RDA Repairable atomizer

    What's the forum etiquette on self-bumping, anyway? :)

    Fatty rebuidable atty.

    If you are a verified member you might like to look at this Coop in planning for a nice rebuildable. At higher unit numbers the price gets pretty close to your goal. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/coop-planning-discussion/292308-scubagen3-integrated-510-connector.html

    Stone vision II

    I successfully reworked and recoiled my Vision Stone v3. It vapes better than before but I did have to leave out the silicone cup. This means I have to keep it mostly upright, but I can live with this until I get a real rebuildable. (There's a nice-looking Scubagen Coop being planned in the Coop...

    What is the current rebuildable roundup??

    Once you're on the list, how long do you wait?

    RDA rebuildable atomizer for provari

    I also wonder about the leaking potential of the Scubagen or other rebuildables. As you may have seen, I'm in on the Coop which is being planned for a nice Scubagen and I'm super excited about it. Maybe I'll just have to wait and see how it behaves. Right now I'm working with a Bolt mod, but I...
