Let's talk hardware

[Pappy]

I haven't used one (or even seen one in the flesh), BK. But I'm fascinated by them. I doubt I'll buy one because the cost of it is over 1/2 way towards another Provari. But I'll be interested to hear what you find out about it.

I'm pretty sure the kayfun is too big to fit, so that would probably eliminate it for me (since I'm using them more and more). If I was still using the Vivi Nova exclusively, I'd be very interested in buying one.

I got my protank mini 2 vv gizmos in the mail yesterday.
Now it's even harder to let the HHV steep. I have 20 ml of another juice. I'll finish that up and then I'll start in on the HHV.

So, here's a newbie question.
I have the protank mini starter kit, extra coils and one extra clearo. What do I need to get so I can drip? Can I do it with the normal setup and the drip tip after soaking the wick a little? Or do I need another part, such as a dripping atomizer? Sorry to be a noob. I am also technical/modding challenged.

Well it has that extension that allows any topper. Personally there is no way I would pay the asking price for a mod running @ 48hz...why they did not use 800hz like the iTaste and MVP/2 I don't know. Maybe if there is a v3 they will update this aspect.

For a simple ready-to-vape dripping atomizer, you need something like this:

510 Atomizer - Standard Resistance Dripping Atomizer - AltSmoke

510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

Or you can go with a rebuildable dripping atomizer, but that's a whole different world and you may not be ready for that.

There's not really any way to drip with a protank.

Thank you, Pappy.
Lo and behold, I have one 510 carto, from a gas station fiftyone trio red.
It fits the threads. I'm a little scared of firing it up---don't want to mess up my shiny new battery.

Ok, here it is, the new and improved nano-coil: 30 gauge A1 Kanthal, 1.7 ohm, 14 wraps, less than .03 ID, cotton wick

Been hitting like a champ all afternoon and evening on the KFL+

I really wanted to get it sitting a bit higher over the air hole, however, the upper leg snapped off just as I was placing it under the screw head. There was just enough left to pass under the head and fasten down.

BM...see my reply on the "Ship Date" thread.

That carto is not the same thing as the 510's that Pappy suggested , that carto has a filler in it , it will mute the flavor so much as to make it pointless , order the 510's that Pappy suggested along with a drip tip and you'll be set .

Consider me happy. A years worth of rebuilding has helped a ton.
I'm even using ekowool and I'll admit not enough since the coil is tiny, but taste is perfect.

About $1300 in that picture, with another Grand/ RM2 ($190) on the way. And that's not counting the two minis I sold. But I don't feel badly, a Lady on the REOS Sub-Forum posted pictures of her 33 Woodvil and 17 Metals yesterday. I don't think I'll ever have the "Reos Bug" that badly.

 

[MrPicC]

Those 33 woodvills would make me want to rob someone. Lol.

She still has eight or ten that have plungers and squared corners- Rob's first ever wood run.
Looks nice, but I don't need that many. Maybe two Grand, and if Rob ever builds those Mech-Woods he's talked about I might get one or two of those. Something about mechanical insides, wood exterior and a brass door just sound soooo sweet !

I just noticed something... are you laying your coil on the deck ? I lift my coils to where the top of the coil is nearly even with the post screws in height. Allow for more air flow around the coils, and better flavor.
..or maybe the camera angle is just throwing me off....

 

[MrPicC]

Definitely camera angle. The coil is about even with post screws. Maybe just slightly higher.

dayum she could vape a different one each day and not see the same one for 40 days ( and 40 nites and alot of rain )

Most of her mods do not have RBA's, or cartos or atomizers attached. I'm guessing she treats REOS Mods like collectables, though I personally vape mine.

Agree for the long run. Just thinking for the short term, until I place my next order. The filler's already out of it---I dripped with it with the fiftyone battery.

Well, that would work. Other people have done the same thing.
