Ok. So here is the main difference between the provari and most other vv devices. The power is regulated in vv devices by pulse width modulation. What this means is that to drop a voltage down, instead of using a variable resistor and making much heat and wasted energy, the voltage instead is switched on and off very quickly. so if you have a voltage of 5 volts, and want to regulate down to say 2.5, the "switch" would be turning off and on with the off time equaling the on time, effectively cutting power by half. The Provari does this much quicker than most mods, thus a smoother vape. Some other mods do this at a slower rate, which makes a rattlesnake type of vape.
My zmaxes both have RMS which is what you're describing, and it works great, very smooth and even heat. And the mini is only $50. Those type of vv devices just cant stand up to country boy life IMO.

Recommendations on a flavor to get from The Plume Room? They're running a memorial day sale so I figured I'd try some of their stuff.

Burley and candy, banana mint milkshake, angel sauce, lemon chiffon pie and magical melon medley are all great.

@senate...I'd have to have idea of what you have. The only thing I want off the top of my head is Trabuco Capistrano :)

Wassup everyone?

So while I've been quiet for the past few weeks I've been lurking and also went on a spending spree lol

New toys: KFL+ and a KFL+ black, Protank2, Trident V2 clone and just ordered the Clouper Hana clone

Juice: Lazarus Vintage. Customer Service, well there were no issues with shipment or anything so nothing to speak of other than the plain flat rate box the juice came in. No special treatment, no notes saying thanks for your order etc. and it's not like I expect it but everyone else I've ordered from has at least said "Thanks" and with the premium you pay for their juice you would think there would be something to make them stand out besides their juice.

I've also ordered a third round from The Plume Room. 30ml of last weeks FOTW Lemon Chiffon Pie, this weeks FOTW Magical Melon Medley along with 60ml of Banana Mint Milkshake and 60ml of Candy and Burley.

Journey - Rolled in cognac and glazed with but.ter.milk, this warm and sweet fla.vor is reserved for only the most exclu.sive cig.ars of the world. Mas.ter Chef Bruce has embold.ened the essence of this fla.vor into a stately and smooth aro.matic fla.vor that amazes and inspires all who taste the wealth of the Jour.ney experience

What I get is basically a Worther's Original, I've let 4 other people try and they all say the same thing. Obviously best when dripped and good in a kayfun, but wouldn't dare put it in a clearo.

No. 1 - Often com.pared to the finest French pas.tries, No. 1 is full of uniquely blended fresh and crisp fla.vors. Pre.pare your.self to be immersed into a sen.sory world of sweet.ness unlike you have ever expe.ri.enced

It's an apple turnover. I taste a light buttery pastry filled with apple syrup and minced apples. Pretty good, best dripped and also good in a kayfun.

Trinity Reserve - Per.haps one of the most incred.i.ble won.ders, Trin.ity is com.posed of silky smooth bour.bon that has been slowly lay.ered in roasted nuts. The crème of this cap.ti.vat.ing fla.vor has quickly become a favorite among the founders of Lazarus Reserve and will equally entice you with its allur.ing aroma and plumes of vape

I don't taste Bourbon, nuts or creme. I don't really know what I taste,but dripped or otherwise this one just isn't doing it for me at all. Something stale tasting about it, almost like it was filtered through a dirty gym sock before bottling. meh

So far everything from the Plume Room has been great and are becoming my ADEDV's....thanks Jonathan!

I also took advantage of the Elevated Vapor sale...Cronos, Nick's Lush and Must Vape's Pencil (finally lol). Thanks Firephly! 75ml of juice for $27 is hard to pass up.

EDIT: I copy/pasted from the Lazarus descriptions...no idea why the forum software inserted periods for me.
Nice, you will love the melon medley and B&C. BTW its quite possible that the burley and candy will need to steep for almost 2 months.

Thanks, the lemon chiffon pie sounds good. I was debating between the banana pudding or the apple pie, but I've already got a few banana flavors laying around so I think I need to change it up.

Well, I pulled the trigger today when I got home from work. (ROUGH day, again) I was thinking about it last night but the problem was that I couldn't log into my checking account to check to see what my exact balance is. (system was "under maintenance) Tonight I was able to so I made sure I had more than enough in there and did it. I'm excited. (I ended up getting the satin finish one. I figure I may as well get one that's unblemished if I'm shelling out that much money and it's the same price as a new Satin one)
Good for you jess, its nice to treat yourself, simple pleasures and all. Hope you enjoy it as much as I love my REO:)

My daughter discovered that stuff. Her first purchase, she saved her money to buy one color. It lasted several months and she was still raving about it when it ran out so I bought her one of the Naked Pallete sets for Christmas.
I get bare minerals for my girl, she absolutely loves it.

Some of their stuff is ok. It's really hit and miss though and super expensive. BUXOM, which I believe is a subdivision of Bare Minerals has this lip gloss I fell in love with a sample of... $18 flippin dollars. The mascara I love... $20... SMH.
I bought the lip gloss because it will last forever. The mascara, I passed on. You're supposed to change out your mascara every month/2 months (I just use it til it's dry) For that, I do stick with drugstore.

I decided to try out the easy vape club. I'm taking a chance that I will love Chronos. I ordered the 6 15ml bottles. Got 2 Chronos, 2 Sweet Tooth and 2 of some blueberry flavor they have. It was only $28 with the discount and I pay $22 plus shipping for Sweet Tooth so I'm not out much if I hate the others but for a total of 90ml it was too good to pass up.

Padded push up, lol. Its orange-vanilla. Still have yet to get an orange creamsicle flavor that wows me. Maybe this will be the one. Funny that flavor is the one I got, IRL Im opposed to pushups and padding, lol.

I want to like an orange creamsicle flavor but I first ordered Dreams from Coval because I was too cheap to buy 5P. I really believed that Queenside would be my all time favorite juice but couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Before I even tried Dreams, I found Queenside on sale and bought it. When I got it, it was presteeped and I was excited so I tried it. I resisted vomiting and was so disappointed that I think I transferred my disgust to Dreams. I don't think I can even give the flavor a fair shot anymore :(

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I've bought a few juices recently based on all of your suggestions. Excited to get vape mail now. Almost pulled the trigger on Mother's Milk, but I'm not sure I'd like it.

Mothers Milk if it sounds good to you imo is a gotta try once juice you will either absolutely fall in love or you will say well that was pretty good but not a rebuy--I was in the 2nd category

RY4s are pretty good... when they're good. I've had some horrible attempts at some. I think the best I had was the DIY I did. (1 flavor juices are pretty simple to DIY)
Can't wait to get my flavorings. Just sucks because they're all tobaccos which means they'll probably have to steep a while.

You would probably like that MOV Full Va Flake, its like 15FF (which I know you like) but with caramel and vanilla instead. Its very well done I actually think its an insult to call it an "ry4"

Mine rattlesnakes like a ..... I don't know. Some things, IMO, are worth splurging on. (most aren't) I don't know if any of ya'll are into makeup... but there's this higher-end brand called Urban Decay... And they have these palettes called the Naked palette. (kind of like a Provari of makeup, I guess) They had 1, 2 and the latest was the 3rd. I've always wanted one but they're $50... and I just couldn't see shelling out that much, especially since the first and second were colors I wouldn't necessarily wear. Well, the third one came out and was pink-toned... which I have pink undertone... SO match made in heaven. I waited until the hype died a little bit to make sure that's not the only reason I Wanted one and ended up getting it. I use the .... everyday that I wear makeup. I've had it since January and you can barely see the usage. They last all day on my eyes, they look great and feel great. It will last me a LONG time. It's much better than drugstore eyeshadows. (which I can't use... wish I could but all of them look like crap on me)
So basically... a quality product that lasts a long time and you actually use is worth the extra money.

I agree Im about ready for a small makeup splurge

This^^ I personally don't like Plume Room but the people who do like those *except melon medley... I haven't heard much about it*

I bought 5 the last time they had a sale I still have 9mls of Burley and Candy in the steeple, I may try it again but.....idk. As a matter of fact I am trying to down the last of the Angel Sauce. Idk if it was just better fresh or what but in the reo its like vaping hot fruit-yuck

I get bare minerals for my girl, she absolutely loves it.

I need some soooo bad!! Ive run out and I currently have the acne of a 16yr old before prom! There is something in it that helps control my breakouts....yes I am 30something and still break out it ridiculous my son and I can compare blemishes!
