So what is the best free security program, I have McAfee but will go with something else better. Had Norton years ago. Never used Kaspersky, I have it ready to download But not sure what is really best for average users like me!

CARO was an org that came up with the naming scheme for viruses 11 years ago, nothing more.

It's very much like what I said. In order to create a secure computer, on a LAN, administered by your team, in your home, you are going to spend nothing less than $25k to $50k. The NSA and FBI have been penetrated.

Now back to vaping... I mixed up juice this afternoon. I got quite a bit still left to taste test. I am seriously thinking about trying some of the Real Flavors brand. They have some interesting flavors and if they only need 2% I am all in...

Yikes. Are they that concentrated? I'd have to redo all my recipe percentages if that's the case. :lol:

That is what I have read in a few posts - the only proof in that would be trying it myself...

It depends. The flavors suspended in VG are not all that concentrated, from what I've read, most recommend 8-15%. The testers I made from the 9ml bottles I got from osdiy yesterday I mixed at 10% to give me a baseline.

Now if we're talking about the raw extracts the sell, I'm seeing percentage recommendations in the .5-3% range. I'm hoping to find small VG based sample size bottles to see what flavors I like and then get RE of those in larger sizes.

They do seem to require some steeping time, as the freshly mixed samples I tried were very one dimensional, but I think time will improve that greatly.

I mixed my RE versions at 2% and that seems plenty for the 3 flavors (pumpkin pie, baklava and french toast) I tried. The RE versions are way more economical but some flavors I wanted to try are not available in RE so I had to get them in VG. The VG ones (bread pudding, apple pie and aged bourbon cream) I did at 11 - 12.5% based on what others used for those specific flavors. Both lines require a good steep IMO as they all keep getting better as they age so far. The oldest tester I have is the Baklava extract and it just turned 2 weeks. The cinnamon and clove notes were off putting after a 1 or 2 day steep but now it has matured and rounded out nicely as the filo dough pastry notes came forward.

@Fozzy71 knows more about Real Flavors and their lines, so hopefully he can expound on it more then I can. My understanding of the RE is that they are the flavorings for the VG based ones, before they are mixed with VG, thereby making them far more concentrated. I also think that they are not sweetened where some of the VG ones are.

Their website does a better job of explaining the process than I ever could. I have read it and I still don't really understand it but I know I like the 3 extracts I tried as single flavors at 2%. I may end up trying them at 2.5 or 3% in the future for kicks or if the flavor fades by chance as they get older.

Appears to be an end cap for a Provari. So yes, you need eleventyhundred of them. :D

I have held off buying a Provari for all these years. Yes, I know I know. I just recently bought a Reo in my quest for mechanical deeming mods. This thread does make it difficult to resist them though. I sure like the looks of that Radius.:)

I couldn't get myself to pull the plug on a $200 mod, but when the big discounts that have been coming in during the last few months on the Provari - I had to pick up a few of the 2.5's. While not the Radius I am sure I will be enjoying these for many years to come...

Yep. At those prices and with how durable they are it didn't really make sense for me to not add a heaping handful to the stash.

The Classic takes a 18650, so would last longer

That's if you purchase another Extension ring for an extra $8, besides the one it already comes with so you can use the 18490 as well, right? Because the description for the Zombie Classic says:

"The ProVari Classic Includes:

• 1 ProVari™ Classic Device - Zombie Ceramic Finish
• 1 Extension Ring (Allows you to use a 18350 or 18490 battery)
• 1 510 connection and P3 thread

This item does not include Atomizer, Batteries or Charger.

Optional extension ring can be purchased to extend the device to be able to use the 18650 battery for longer run times."

So...I'm confused then about the Classic. What's the advantage of getting a higher priced Classic then...instead of a 2.5 that you can use the same batteries in with the $6 extension cap?

Edit: Oops! The extension cap so you can use the 18650 batteries is FREE now, not $6 extra, for the 2.5 polished steel one that's only $29.95!

Speaking of batteries. I dont know how much at what temp you all vape but I thought I should mention what I get with my style in case you vape like I do and you like the mini. I go through 1.5-2 mLs per day at 3.3-3.4V on my P2.5 mini and use the AW 18350 batteries. I get 10-11 hours per charge.

I love Radius, I wasn't sure I would since it is not a tube, but I love it and it has been all I have been using. I got another used (year old) off classies so I can vape one while the other is charging, perfect set up!
