Just for Ocey (on the subject of plastic tanks)

"Note: For Menthol Liquids as Spearmint, Cool Mint, etc., and cola and lime liquids, shoul be used the stainless steel tank. This liquid grab the makrolon tanks sharply, which may lead to clouding and cracks in the tank."

My tanks do not like to be grabbed sharply by liquid. No siree.

OOOOO! Makrolon! Makes it sound like they are using a cutting-edge material, except that Makrolon is a brand of polycarbonate.

Last one for now. This was actually the first listing that caught my attention:

"New reformulated tube on the newest version of Stardusts, stronger and virtually impervious to juice leeching."*

That's a great thing to know if you plan on vaping in potentially leech infested areas.

And I love the use of virtually impervious. So it's kinda-sorta impervious...maybe...

*"Leaching" was the word they were aiming for.


It was a dark day in the rain forest when Ozwald's tank was grabbed sharply by liquid and sucked dry by a leech.

Tina -- Take the plunge girl. Go for a cheap RDA,(rebuildable drip atomizer) you know you will eventually. ;)
I suggest a Trident clone. You can find those on eBay for around $20. Some 28ga. Kanthal, cheap on eBay also.
You have a Provari so no ohm meter needed.
Learn to build micro coils,(it's not near as complicated as it's made out to be) and drip your way to happiness! :)
It's the ONLY way to go for flavor!

Well, I just may have to. Oh I know I will eventually. Probably sooner rather than later.

This one is just sad.

Continuing in the gotvapes tradition of bizarre product descriptions:

"We have put together our own Express kit that includes a manual in five langauages (sic): English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Danish and two other languages we are not sure of the nationality (CESTINA & EAAHNIKA). We have to say that this is the most well written, plain English manual we have seen out of China."

If they put the kit together, how can they not know what languages the manual is in? It also appears they are using a proprietary counting system.

Wait! Huh?

"We have to say that this is the most well written, plain English manual we have seen out of China."

You have seen come out of China? You have seen outside of China? And what is "plain" English? Does my ability to structure a sentence correctly and use Spell Check mean I use "fancy" English? You claim the manual is well (hellooo hyphen!) written (if the compound adjective ("well written") precedes a noun, use a hyphen), but I don't believe you.


What's even worse is that in less time than it took them to write the original copy, I was able to figure out the languages they couldn't identify.

CESTINA = Czech
EAAHNIKA = Greek

Both are essentially incorrect, since some nimrod Anglicized the spelling based on how it was written instead of translating it.

Čeština = CESTINA
ελληνικά = EAAHNIKA

That makes my eyes hurt. I'm the grammar police, so it's beyond funny.

I'll give them a pass on the Makrolon - they're a German manufacturer. Polycarbonate isn't nearly specific enough. :)

If you have any questions on easy coil builds, and you don't want to Youtube through silly Riptrippers or PBusardo videos. Just PM me. I'll gladly help any way I can. ;)

I definitely will. I have absolutely no idea how to do any of that. I'm not the crafty kind of girl, lol. But I hear it's pretty easy. Surely I'm not such a dummy that I couldn't do it? ;)

Yah... I tend to agree with this.... I do it so subconsciously now I don't even think about it, but every vape, I'm picking up a different mod w/ a different tank, holding a different juice. If I don't, I end up burning one out quick:p.

This is from a couple of weeks ago, but I am always swapping tanks, heads, mods around on a daily basis:

Seems excessive, but I rarely have less than 11-14 mods in continual rotation, and I definitely vape them all.

If you don't vape quite so much, you can get away with just rotating heads with different juices, or what Oscelot suggested, individual small clearo/cartos.

Very nice collection!

Oh, I haven't even messed around with themes. White background is fine with me.

The black background is a lot easier on my eyes. You can see what they all look like at the bottom left corner of any page. There's a little drop down menu (I think default is ECF-1). You have to go into the settings to actually change it site-wide AFAIK.

I definitely will. I have absolutely no idea how to do any of that. I'm not the crafty kind of girl, lol. But I hear it's pretty easy. Surely I'm not such a ..... that I couldn't do it? ;)

A lot of people are intimidated by it at first, but it's super simple. There's a bunch of different reasons that people do it - some like to customize their coils, some just do it to save money, some people just like to tinker. At least rebuilding something for a Provari is foolproof - if you really screw up the build, the Provari will protect you & nothing will happen... if you screw up a build on a mech, the results could be disastrous, both to you and the mod. Not saying you will, but you'll come across some of that if you read more about it.

I'll definitely check it out. Oh I'm sure I'll mess it up a few times. I'll also check out the different backgrounds.

Hey, I can do those things so that's a plus :). Thank you so much for offering to help. I'll most likely take you up on that. I catch on quickly though. I won't take up much of your time. Promise.
