No, I watch the atty resistance reading fairly closely to judge when I need to clean it, but haven't had an inkling that it wasn't putting out the voltage it shows based on my experience with my homebuilt stuff.

I have a certain wattage range I like, discovered before the VV, so it is a matter of avoiding the 2.5 amp cutoff in the provari. I've found it to be a great unit.

Power variances are based on the flavor of the juice I'm vaping.

How does the Provari handle 2.0 duals?

Fine within the 2.5 amp limit, but I don't like them. Can't go high enough in power and I don't like cartos.

Waiting on pins and needles for Hannah's atty tanks...

I've only found one cargo that was OK, but not good. I have to have great flavor and cartos dull it like a cheap atty.
An Atty tank?? No way.. Do you stock them or could you send me a link please?

Hannah hasn't finalized the design yet and I'm not a vendor so no chance of me stocking them. And, no, I'm not kidding. It's being worked on.

I'm hoping for epic...
I've mistaken-ed you with another Hoosier..lol This atty tank sounds incredible.. I've been using dual coils since Boge changed the Leo atty design. I do miss great flavor..

Yeah, I'm starting to get use to the confusion. I've had the handle since before the business started.

And since a Hoosier just means a native of Indiana, I can't fault the guy for using it as part of his business name.

Yeah, I like the concept of cartos and tanks, but flavor is what got me off burning tobacco and I can't do without it.

I always wondered why you never replied to Hoosiers Flavor reviews.. I said to myself more than once, Man, this guy has one hell of an ego...lol

I've been looking for ashy smokey, haven't gotten it yet from my first guesses (black fire, perique, latakia, oakwood, etc)

If you recommend this, I'm gonna give it a whirl!
Ok here's my update on the Bluemist tobaccos. The Morley aka Marlboro was terrible for me, being that it is mostly Tobanon. a chemical that I despise. I emailed bluemist with questions. My answers were this. this flavor was created off site. Which tells me that this is straight Tobanon. That's all I tasted. Now for the good news. Robacco is KILLER!!!! I mixed at 10% and it's dry, earthy and reminds me of pipe tobacco. It leaves a rich aftertaste that I can't put down. This is a must try for tobacco lovers..I recommend this..:)

Here's an update on that mix JimiD:

5% latakia
5% bitter wizard (or was it 4? lol)
1% toasted almond
36 nic, 50/50 pg/vg

Tasted great! I noticed that after the bitter wizard calmed down a bit, it contributed an almost "burning" or "burnt" taste to the mix, in a good way. not sure why or how this is. at first I thought I was scorching juice and or the carto. not the case. does burning tobacco taste bitter? Dunno. I don't remember. But anyway, interesting.

Added a drop of caramel (FA) and ethyl maltol 10% in PG to about 4 mls. Became even better. Couldn't taste the latter ingredients but it beefed it up.

Then added two drops of home made menthol drops to about 3 mls. Delicious (I love menthols). Barely a menthol, but it brightened up quite a bit and became "cool," still "smokey/bitter" and nutty/dry.

Love it!

Further experiments to come!

I remember the metallic and ashy taste, but that diminishes after we acquire the taste. Bitter Wizard is made from natural tobacco. I do remember Marlboro being slightly bitter. Although, I remember Camel being slightly sweeter.

Keep up the great work Cyrus.. We need to find a ashy flavor. I think it will be soon enough.

Cool, I do have a hell of an ego, but it's pretty well tied up with my work and GURPS. (GURPS is not vaping related and if one does not know what it means the explanation is just boring at best.)

GURPS is a great system. Considering how detail-oriented you come across on the boards (which I only mean as a compliment), it makes perfect sense. :)

Didn't even catch that post Hoosier. Wow! I used to be a dungeons and dragons/shadow run FANATIC. My group even made (or tried to) its own gaming system at one point.

Ahh, the good old days. I can't seem to find any 31 year old vapors in Long Island that want to play RPGs anymore, and my old crew has dispersed across the country

So for now I'm left waiting 5 years each for George R R Martin to finish a damn book and my multi-sided dice, monster manuals and handbooks collect dust
