    Stopping back in to say thanks

    Hey guys and gals. I have been fairly busy with work and home and not had much time for forums. I even passed my one year anniversary without noticing. I haven't touch a cig since 8/8/12 and it was with the help of the great folks on this forum. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to...

    Provari fire button question

    I am experiencing an oddity with my ProVari's fire button. Sometimes when I am holding it down to take a vape I notice it is not firing. There have been times I am in the Power Up menu steadily raising my voltage or I am in the Power Down menu lowering it. It tends to happen more when I am...

    Terrible time with AGA-T+

    I have tried to wrap a coil 5 times now and I get the same horrible results. Here is the setup. I am using 30ga Kanthal and I have a properly oxidized wick. That part was pretty simple. I am using a 3/32" drill bit in the wick hole to wrap the coil. I drop the bit in and do a 5/6 wrap and...

    Mountain Oak Vapors - A+

    I ordered an AGA-T+ from MOV on Sunday evening around 11pm. I was pleasantly surprised to have a shipping confirmation from them at 9am Monday morning. Talk about fast. It arrived yesterday. I even had a hand written Thank You on my invoice from Noland. Just a little extra touch that I...

    Another vaping test? Really?!?

    So I get a call from my wife on my cellphone while at work. I was talking to my father about a product for a customer so I ignored it. I walked into the shop to grab a sample to send to that customer and the secretary ran in the back telling me my wife was on the office phone and it was an...

    How about this for a test of vaping?

    About a week ago my wife's father fell 16 feet and shattered both arms from wrist to elbow, took 21 staples to the head and broke two bones in his back. About 30 minutes ago she got a call from her mother and was told that her brother flipped his truck and was being flown to shock trauma. With...

    Recommend an RBA for an RBA newbie?

    I am looking for my first RBA. I have decided to take the plunge. I was looking at the AGA initially but I can't find it in stock anywhere I look. I am ready to order now. What other RBAs are out there similar to the AGA? What I am looking for is something in the 3 - 5 ml capacity range...

    OK, why all the ProVari hate?

    There are plenty of other mods out there that cost more than a ProVari and that you have to get on a list to even hope to get one. I can readily buy a ProVari with batteries, charger and extension cap for less than some of the hybrid or box mods on the market. At this point a ProVari is not...

    I discovered I am a low watts kinda guy

    I have been using a Twist with Nova clearos. I prefer the 2.4 ohm heads, knowing they are off by .1 - .2 ohms or so. I always thought that at 4V on my Twist I was running around 6.5W or so. I recently received my ProVari and found that I much prefer 3.8V, which I am assuming is a more...

    So I found the blem on my ProVari

    And I couldn't care less. It is a minor nick in the metal where the extension cap screws on. If that was enough to knock the price down then I am happy. Just goes to show the level of quality ProVape has. Best vaping investment I have made.

    Need battery storage/safe charging advice

    I just received my ProVari today and I went with the 18650 setup. I know the dangers of charging batteries unattended and carrying them around unsafely. I am wondering how you guys and gals safely charge and carry your big batts. I am looking at a LiPo Sack for charging and I think that is...

    Supporting memebr by PayPal only?

    Is there another way to become a supporting member other than PayPal? I had a terrible experince with PayPal in the past and I do not want to go there again. My account was hacked, my mortgage and car payment checks bounced as a result and I damn near lost the two most important things I own...

    Mt. Baker Vapor is FAST

    Placed an order on the night of the 11th of Nov. and had juice in hand on 15th Nov. It took one day to process and ship my order. Not even remotely shabby for juice mixed on order. I have not tried them yet as I am letting them steep but from the smell of them I am not sure how much longer I...

    ECBlend has great customer service

    I received just over 100mL of juice from them yesterday. One of my 30mL had leaked a bit. No big deal. It was hard to tell that there was even juice missing from the bottle. I sent an email last night to inform them of the problem. I specifically stated that I did not want a replacement or...

    Buying myself a ProVari for Xmas, looking for a first timer RBA

    I plan to purchase myself a ProVari for Christmas and want to step into RBAs. I need something easy on a first timer. I plan to use SS mesh for the wick but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an RBA after spending a couple hundred on the ProVari. I am moving up from the eGo Twist...

    Government "subsidising" tobacco use?

    OK. I am not sure I am posting in the appropriate section so please feel free to move or delete as necessary. I have seen this over and over again for years and I am finally fed up enough to post about it on a public forum. I stopped by my local 7-11 today to grab a six pack on the way home...

    Saw a couple of vapers today.

    We went to a place called Hunt Club Farm today to grab a pumpkin for Halloween for the kids. I saw three people vaping away. One guy was using what looked lke a Zen but I was not close enough to see for sure. This was my first triple sighting ever. I have run into people vaping randomly but...

    Got my taste buds back!!

    I have spent nearly two weeks vaping my favorite juice with no flavor. I may as well have been vaping flavorless PG juice. I was quite upset. Today, my brother gave me a bottle of raspberry lemonade from Pink Spot that he didn't really enjoy. I have been chain vaping all day and could not...

    Our government looking out for us???

    Read this artcle for a small taste of what our government does for our health. http://news.yahoo.com/secret-cold-war-tests-st-louis-raise-concerns-214608828.html Do we really want people like this in charge of our well being? Is it really a stretch to believe that vaping is a wonderful life...

    Vaporcon etiquette

    I am planning to hit Vapercon on Saturday as I can easily drive up for the day. I am really interested in trying juices from all the vendors. I fell this will be so much easier than ordering all of the sample packs. My question is, how do I need to prepare myself to be able to taste the...
