A question for the Provari Illuminati

[EddardinWinter]

Hey there, Bassnorma! A resident of Richmond here. You going to VapeCon?

Oh, here are my Provarii. I just got this RSST, and I must say the second coil I built showed me why the fuss is made over RBAs. kayfun Lite, here I come.

How's your eVic doing these days?

I started with a 650mAh eGo kit, then Twists. When my 6 months tobacco-free approached I wanted something special. I never imagined I would quit smoking, so it was a big deal. I did research, looked around and bought a ProVari. I loved it so much I bought another one about 5 months later for my birthday. To celebrate 1 year without cigarettes I got a Reo. It's a different system than the ProVari and they complement each other nicely. I wuv my widdle tanks!

So, someone was telling me that an advantage to a Reo is the ability to vape at low ohms due to VW vs. VV. Trying to sort out what the advantage of low ohms is really. Is it a battery life advantage? A vape production thing or a flavor thing? A mix of the above? None of the above?

I think its new owner is quite happy with it. Hopefully, she won't drop it! I did warn her it was fragile, like a glass rose....

Hey, my eVic led me to The ProVarinati, so I remember it fondly. That said, it is a device that is not even in the same class as a ProVari. Now I have like 20 flat top batteries with only a couple of Lavatubes to go in. I intended for these to be my back ups, but with two ProVarii, and a third on the horizon (RED mini), is there any circumstance imaginable that would require a back up to three ProVarii?

....I feel like these devices need to be given to a good home where people will love them and use them.

Nice name! Love Game of Thrones =) I just joined CASAA today because I am basically all for keeping the right to pursue happiness and not die of the myriad of things that analogs bring.

When is VapeCon? That might be a good time.

As to RBA, I will do some reading up. No doubt, I will try one at least once.

The reference is layered. Part Game of Thrones (don't be fooled, I am a member of House Lannister), part Lion in Winter.

As to Vapercon...here is an ECF thread:

By the way, I do NOT do Sub ohm, so I don't know what its advantages are. My coil target ohms was 1.5, I have made a 1.3 and a 1.2. I see no need to go sub-ohm, and the ProVari won't let you go much below an ohm.

As your just getting started, I would stay away from sub-ohm mechs and builds. There is a whole thread on this, required reading before considering this option, IMO. Low ohm builds will heat up faster, but can be dangerous. With the micro coil build and the nano coil dragon build, I have no intention of investigating that end of the vape world. Micro and nano coils heat up so fast, even at the +2ohm range, that am more than happy with the results. I've gotten the Provari able to fire a build as low as .9 ohms but try to aim for 1.1-1.5ohms, Just gives me more adjustment range that way with out worrying about an E1 or E2 error popping up. The lowest setting on the Provari is 2.9 volts, giving a .9ohm coil a burn of 9.34 watts, which is warmer than I like to vape some juices at.

I like to direct drip and I use the Reo essentially to drip for longer periods. I vape for flavor. For a "plain" vaper like me, the advange of using a low res atty on the Reo is to get more watts. My Reo mini a mechanical, so there's no boost circuit. The battery comes off of the charger at ≈4.2v and the voltage goes down as the battery discharges; so that's all the power I get in my little world. (I'm sure the smart people will come soon and explain to you why I'm wrong, but that's okay, I probably am).

Anyway, I vape the Reo because the flavor is as good as dripping, but because I can't adjust the voltage, if I want more watts I have to use low res devices. I've also found that, for me, I like my juices warmer when I drip them and it's the same with the Reo. The only thing I use on the Reo is dripping attys. Theoretically, with a fresh battery I might put a 2.0Ω - 2.5Ω on it and when I felt the vape get cooler, switch to a 1.5Ω atty. To be honest though, I haven't had any problem with juices tasting burnt dripping, or with the Reo, so I use a 1.5Ω 306 atty all the time.

The eVic led you here? Well, excuuuuse me. How soon you forget...

You are wrong. I am not sure why, though.

Thanks Ocelot. =)

Elephants are known for their memories. Lions for their bold spirits. It is hard to remember every turn and twist on the road that led me here. Apparently, your memory is clearer than mine, little predator. If my feeble memory serves, I believe it was my reward to myself for my one year analog-free anniversary. Is it not so?

As I recall you were considering taking the vow to celebrate one year off of tobacco, but eVic was such an amazing device you were debating if making the commitment was worth it.

 

[EddardinWinter]

I had some influences that pushed me to the ProVarinati, it's true. Thank you for your wise counsel.

Is this sufficient glory for your part in this matter, Princess?

EDIT: Is that lion drinking purple passion?

I seem to recall I asked you what flavor Kool Aid you wanted and you said grape.

 

[seahawkin]

Kinda one of those weird things about me, can't remember my own phone number but variance jumps out at me. I have tried about three cig types, 2 ego types about 5 vv/vw types things. Provari has the most even hit hands down. Kinda drives me crazy, so even with all my toys I end up back with my Provari.

 

[laidout94toy]

The perfect setup!
Kayfun Lite, Provari Mini v2.5 Twins Extension that can make the Provari handle 18650 batteries and Kayfun Ring.
I can put a fresh 18490 battery in fill the tank and vape all day at work. I clocked 10 hours the other day.

 

[nomeX]

Wow Guys! This is perfect.

nomeX!!! A fellow bass player, right on! Considering that I own an Alembic and while I love my Fenders for nostalgic reasons, they don't come close to the quality and feel of the original Pbass or my Alembic. The comparisons are helpful.
<snip>

Alembic? Methinks, you'll be hitting the booteek mods eventually I play fretless mostly: US Peavey's and 90's Yamahas (RBX800AF's)

Good luck to you!

 

[ItTechy]

I don't have one yet, but it is the one I'm saving for, for this reason - 'they' say you get the same vape from the beginning of the battery to the end of the battery charge. No more losing the quality of the vape on my ego's as the battery wears down during the day!

It's worth every penny!

My batteries last 2.5 days, and that is not waiting until the light is blinking fast!

Best damn mod I own!

Mine wanted to walk the runway with yours......werk it!
