I've ordered another Provari. Mine worked great till about 4 pm. Then it started flaking out again. After I get the "Blem" PV, I will create a ticket and it will more than likely go back to Provape. I thought maybe the button was not making connection but with the battery out I can see it hitting no prob. I've also ordered a new battery, I don't think that is the problem though. I have two of the extended and two regular, none made a difference.

As I was trying to get the thing to work, a slight panic set in thinking about having to send it in again. So I bought another one, a blemished one. Red LED so I can tell them apart, after the one gets to working right. :facepalm:

Robin is planning on going down in History as the first multiple Provari killer, and for that accomplishment she is right on track! :D

Dusty, my VMOD should be here tomorrow. Be prepared for lots of stupid ?'s. :)

Bottom feeding is stupid easy. Right now I'm using a simple boge LR carto while i wait for my a7s and mini resurrectors. Couldn't be happier with such a simple device.

Not only does it wick, it wicks amazingly! I've never had a mesh wick like this. I need to order larger cable to do my original agas. I'm done with mesh wicks

Whoa, that does look intriguing for sure. I would definitely do a thorough alcohol soak and burn on those, however. :D
I was just setting up shop to practice wrapping a mesh and a silica wick for my AGA T2s, now I don't know if I need to. I'll have to get some of the cable from, what was it, Amazon.com? Maybe, I'll practice anyway, just to get better at it when I start re-wicking the T3's, Evods and ProTanks, oh my! 8-o

Anyhow, for the record, drilling out the air hole in the cap to 1/16" and the wick hole to 1/8" wasn't hard at all. The mini 40mm table vice I bought clamped onto the desk and work great for holding both pieces.

And in other news...

... WE'VE GOT vape MAIL COMING!!! :2cool: Confirmation email from Vapage came in a couple days ago and the VMod-XL Premium is on it's way. :toast: Today, HHV confirm shipping to my mule's US address - won't see that till the end of April, but my buddy assures me he'd open them up for breathing as soon as he gets home. They'll be steeped a good month when they finally get here. By that time the CoOp stuff should be getting close too, seems a shame to spend all that money to ship it to the States only to have it shipped back here. Prolly too much to ask Hibi, if she could separate my order out and have China Gal send it direct. :|

The "Thread Killer" has expanded her title to:

"Thread Killer and Provari Slayer, the Master of Disaster, Ms. Robin!"

Oh Robin! What does this do to your spread sheet? ;)

Hope everything gets shipped quickly.

It knocks my savings down plus the HHV order that is on its way, it certainly is taking a hit this week. I will still be comfortably in the black by a few hundred.

"Thread Killer and Provari Slayer, the Master of Disaster, Ms. Robin!"

Don't forget Spaz, Spazzy oh the the most important Heart of the Thread along with Bronze. :p

I'm guessing I've never mentioned I'm accident prone? Why do you think I LIKE to keep things simple and easy?!?!?!?

Thank you!!! By the way, my Provari is dead :(

If you want to test the durability of a device.......send it to me and I will be sure to unintentionally put it through its paces. <sigh>

Her looks will have to carry her through life. I hope she is a good saver. :)

0.4 ohm 28 gauge twisted coil with cable wick, 28 watts and wick still keeps up :D

I have to ask, Why so low?! You're in dangerous territory with the amount of strain that you're putting on the battery and the risk of a meltdown (explosion) are increased exponentially. Why would you want to go that low in ohms?

I wonder the same thing! Wonder if he missed the number in front of the decimal.
