And didn't it say it was made for the 3.1?

Yeah, but also says in the video that it fits the Lite, Squape & Ithaka as well if I remember correctly.

Awhile back my bottom cap spring got kitty whompus on my Provari. I can't remember what I did but I remember pulling it out and it was a pain to put back in. Might have been because it was somewhat butchered up. Anyhow, I got it back in somehow albeit ugly looking. It works so I don't worry about it.

Just trying to figure out how they come out and go back in. Do they "screw" in/out or are they pressed in/out? Has anyone ever replaced a Provari spring?

Definitely screws in. Thought I read somewhere that you're supposed to hold the spring, apply pressure so it's tight against the groove, and then twist the bottom cap.. one way or the other.

Took the char off my chai and almost all of the engravings. The "number" area is completely gone but the chai logo is still there very slightly. I think it came out pretty damn good considering I Don't know what I'm doing. Took my dads dremel and went to town.

Just recoiled the KFL. This time I did 32g doubled & twisted and wrapped 6/5 around 3 strands of 2mm silica. It's weighing in at 3 ohm with full tank of NET.com's, Chris' Blend and I'm firing it up at 5 volt for about 8 watts. So far nothing but....


........aaahhhh, that's nice!

3ohms seems kinda high for twisted 32 with a 5/6 wrap. I would expect you to be around the 2ohm mark. I did a 4/5 wrap on mine with 32 and I ended up with a 1.5ohm coil. Are you sure you're coil ends are secured tightly under the screws? You may be picking up extra ohms from a loose connection.

Haha yeah he has a whole slew of tools I know nothing of. Did my m16 also. It was charred and now it's shiny shiny. All engravings are also completely gone which is all I wanted.
Side note I ruined my favorite mod my titan. I'm working on fixing it a bit but aluminum and dremel don't go together I think.
I'm either gonna buy a new body from the Philippines or just get a carbon wrap and cut to shape.
