All I have to say is (IMO) if you never used it, you don't know what you're missing! :D

Being its more dependent on cartos or atomizers its not for me.
At least with the REO I used rbas and it looked sexy. The device itself and sqounking wasn't my thang.
I hated to see it go but it helped me get into the mech game. In the future I might get a mini. I like em small :rolleyes:

I know I need to go subohm with that Genny (using a mech). But I don't have a mech and not in the market for one at the moment. I'm fairly happy with the Genny on the Provari at 1.2ohms...if I could just get it to stay there.

Just to let you know, 101 vape has the sigelei 8w with a 12% off coupon code ends up being about $28 shipped. Can't really bet that. The 8w is the best mech sigelei has made so far imo hits very hard and solidly built... Be a good starting mech for you :)

Tempting! Thank JW. It definitely looks nice. I'm trying hard to limit my vape expenses. I'm succeeding but it has been challenging. :)

I have a Protank mini. I'm assuming it uses the same head as the regular size Protank (which I do not own). Anyhow, I see there is a single strand wick contained in the coil. Then there are two flavor strands (loose) on top. I've heard people who remove those loose strands. True? I believe that's what Dust told me and others. I would think the slot where the wicks come out would be too big and the atty would flood without those loose strands on top of the coil. No? Does anyone use the loose strands?

EDIT: I think Bridge rebuilds hers with a single strand of 3mm cotton?

Sorry folks. My memory isn't what it used to be.

Just so you know MP, I went to Carolina Vapes and threw two clearos in my cart (with shipping and taxes...$30). Had all the credit card info filled in and everything. Just had to hit the SEND button. I didn't. I asked myself..."Do I REALLY need these"?

I cancelled.

I've been avoiding purchases for days myself.
Finally today I Needed to order glass tanks.
Broke my pure tank today after less then a week and figured it was about time I ordered new Zap glass. It came chipped so I actually Needed.
The realization that moving isn't cheap is finally hitting me and this damn engagement party is making my girl nervous with party favors and crap I think is useless.

Leave the strands in unless you're having wicking problems, then you can remove one to see how it goes. I get flooding without the wick channels filed, but I vape 60%vg. Thicker juice may not flood. They're so easy to rebuild, it's worth experimenting.

On another note, I WANT A DNA20 MOD! Fluid Vapor is releasing the Cyborg this weekend. It's a DNA20 tube mod. Stable at sub-ohms, and powers up to 20 watts. Finally, a regulated mod for sub-ohm builds.

A buddy of mine built me a DNA 20 mod. Best variable power mod there is. Made me sell my provari as it became nothing more than a glorified carto mod. It's very nice to be able to build coils that will run on your mechs as well as your variable power mod. :)

Thanks X. I was thinking of coiling up a single strand of 3mm cotton. Don't know if it will fit it the slot without filing it out but I'll look at it.

It's a little trial and error. Dry hits? Make the wick thinner. Flooding? Use more wick. My sweet spot is micro coils around 3mm silica with a tiny stand of flavor wick. 1.5mm strand-core ekowool works good too, but without the flavor wicks.

Yeah, DNA20 will be handy. I'm eyeing the Cyborg because it takes all 18mm battery sizes and can be converted into a mech as well.

Got my Noble 1 in the mail yesterday :D

Set up a coil at .8ohms and filled with a 50/50 mix of Pluid and Maha Ras

This thing is smaller and lighter than I expected but it hits hard and blows clouds :)

I miss my rotty so much. Best dog I've ever had

My last one was the best dog I've ever had by far, I'm hoping this one will be half as good. I just had to put my last Rott down a couple years ago, he was 13

Mine ended up being put down as well. He was 11. Had arthritis so bad he couldn't walk. We got a golden retriever /poodle mix now and he is a big idiot. I want another rotty
