[CLOSED BUSINESS]

[jakematic]

I don't offer it anymore as it is a bit pricey and hard to get down here.

Oooo, glad I picked up that Cruiser in mahogany this afternoon then

Looking forward to adding a Cutlass to my collection when the next batch is done.

What? You bought an unregulated mod?

Which one did you get? Last I looked, Cappy had three, now there's none..?

I kept going back and looking at them and couldn't help myself.
Yesterday there were two, now there are none.

Ended up ordering the African Mahogany Cruiser with the Jolly Roger which will be named Ragnar.
Simply could not get over the beautiful wood and couldn't see myself with a metal squonker....

OK, now the monster creation process is complete.

Then I suppose 3D printed plastic is completely out of the question?

Uhhhh, yeah.
This more clearly states the relationship between vaping and I

Quite the contrary, I'm watching that build with great enthusiasm - especially after the latest teaser.
And who knew you could get GOLD done

You have 2 (!!) pdibs, and I didn't want to have my first date with squonking with anything less than finely crafted wood.

Will I own a metal one down the road, probably.
Having cut my teeth in the ultra high end furniture business, I respectfully didn't want a glorified 'project box' as my first one.

Besides, that BF Cyclone that just arrived has to go on SOMETHING !

Hmm, your taste in literature is better than your taste in music.

Will I own a metal one down the road, probably.

I got to fondle one of the relatively ubiquitous metal ones for the first time a bit more than a week ago. It felt better than I had expected. In other words, I've not ruled out owning one as a beater.

OK, then let me retract my previous statement that I prefer a 26 gauge coil. It depends on the juice. For the the juice that I started with in that setup, I do indeed continue to prefer that coil. However in my second one, I'm at about 1.05 ohms with a 28 gauge coil. This is working great with a rayon wick and a bottle full of unflavored juice (65-70% VG). Unflavored? Yep. Drip in a few drops of whatever you're in the mood for and be amazed at how long you can vape it before the flavor dissipates. Then drip in something else. Try it. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

Concur.
However... I was a DJ for awhile and certain thoughts/statements relate to certain songs for me.

I've not ruled out owning one as a beater.

My sentiments exactly.
Planned to use the ProVari as a beater but it's been relegated to a third tier backup now.

Then drip in something else. Try it. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

That sounds like a good plan, will do.
Keep me posted on the new coil - no plans to acquire any more spools of wire in varying gauges unless it's an over the top advantage...

 

[jakematic]

My compliments to the Captain !

I've never seen such a smooth transaction and fast shipping except from one other non-vape related place.
My package tracker just told me it will be here Wednesday and the order was placed today around 3PM.

Sure does pay to support the small businessperson with high quality products.

 

[glassgal]

Cappy's wood working is exceptional... can't wait to see his new spalted and lighter woods w/ a DNA30 (I've got waaayyy too many dark wood mods now).

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy me 'earties!

I quite working a few hours ago but had an excellent day in the shop. All the boxes have now been routed out inside and I have just a couple more doors to make and then the complex woodworking will be done. One fatality today unfortunately but that happens from time to time. Got lots of work left to do though, but after today I can look at the batch and feel like I'm making good progress again.

Tomorrow I am going to catch up on desk caddies and I have a repair that is giving me dirty looks so I need to get on that too.

Other than that, nothing new around here. arrrr

 

[jakematic]

The Cruiser will be my first un-regulated mod.
I have no plans to sub-ohm, and usually run between 1 - 1.5 Ohms.

Am I OK to use the AW IMR 2000 mAh batteries that came with my ProVari ?
More than willing to buy new ones, and not looking to cheap out.

Thanks for your advice.

 

[debinnv]

Yep you will be good to go with those

sounds good to me jakematic. I personally went for EFest Purple 18650 2500mah after seeing some comparison on tests:

At this website you can choose all kinds of different battery types and compare their test results:

And I recently purchased this for added protection:

Thanks!
Was getting bummed I might not be able to use it tomorrow because this just occurred to me...

May look into upgrading down the road after seeing that.

Vapesafe Fuse

Would that work on 'nipple' top batteries ?
The picture makes it look like it's on a flat top.

Neither did I when I got my first unregulated bottom-feeder. But no plan of battle survives contact with the enemy.

Am I OK to use the AW IMR 2000 mAh batteries that came with my ProVari ?

They're rated 10 amps continuous, right? If so, they'll be fine even in the moderate sub-ohm range, say 0.75 ohms and still have plenty of safety margin.

 

[jakematic]

Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them

Correct. Thank you.

That fuse goes on the negative side of battery. So spring in the bottom, fuse on top of the spring, then battery's negative(flat) side on top of the fuse, then the button top side of battery in contact with the mod's positive connector.

 

[lorikay13]

Hope it's ok if I just follow the thread...I REALLY want one of these. I have a bottom fed Cyclone sitting here waiting.

I wonder if there is a 10 amp fuse like this somewhere. Anyone see different versions anywhere?

 

[debinnv]

Of course it's okay!! Welcome
