    Yo Retic, is there a trick to removing the wick in the Rose without pulling the coil all out of whack? You do use Rayon on yours, don't you? The way I do the KFs is to clip off one end of the wick close to the coil, hold the coil steady with a fingernail and pull the other end. I got nothing small enough to cut the wick off inside the ceramic cup. I'll have to get some needle nose scissors to cut the old wick off close to the coil. Maybe my moustache trimmers will fit in there. Sure is a bugger setting up. I'm seriously thinking to switch back to silica for this one just so I don't have to change the wick so often. Another idea is just to dry burn it off.
    No trick , I pull mine out after the initial rinse so the wick is waterlogged . I use rayon in everything . I run my Rose's with a 2.5mm id coil with either 24 or 26ga wire and a split rayon wick . The heavier wire is easier to build with in the Rose and the larger id makes it easier to get the right amount of wick in for splitting .

    ProVari 2.5 Stainless Dragon (plus 18650 extender) in the cart..... does anyone know if the 220 mAh AW IMR batteries fit inside the ProVari ? Is a 'clear wrap' actually protective ? and does ProVape ever have 'cyber monday' type codes ?

    I better go take a shower, drink some coffee and think about this

    Where are you buying it from? If you're buying from ProVape, take a deep breath and think about it some more. A P3 might be a better option for you.

    Yes, new from ProVape. Actually I was thing of getting two. One for Sweets, one for NET's as that is my vaping habit. The Stainless Dragon and the Gold Zen Coated. But two P3 would be in excess of $600 after attachments. That new Black P3 does look nice though....

    Why $600? I got my P3 for $250 (incl shipping which is free, no added taxes). I didn't need to add anything else. The P3 has added features...useful ones.

    Perhaps someone can verify this... since I tossed my Provape Black Friday email since I have no plans on a major purchase...

    ... I believe it said it was a 10% off sale for Black Friday only ... code BF10

    If that's true then I might have to post a couple of Reos Woods up in the classies tonight !.....

    Valid on November 28th only....probably Pacific time. BF10

    I would add that the Dragon edition was/is only a dealer option... it isn't sold by Provape, just sold through their dealers. Having said that... the P3 has the VV/VW option ( the v2.5's don't ) and the boost feature that Bronze has mentioned a few times. At this time... the P3's don't have as many style options available... so that may also be a consideration.

    The Black P3 and the Polished P3 are $265 each, as posted today. HCigar KFL Lite V2's were about $40 each last time I looked... Does VapeRoyalty have any sale codes coming up this weekend ?

    Am I allowed to say "might want to check the Classies around lunchtime" or will Dusty edit this post ?


    You are not allowed to talk about your Classifieds postings but then, you already know that!

    I see, you're adding the attys. The black and polished P3's are a little more than the satin silver. I bought the satin silver and would pay more to get one. :) Just my favorite look. Never wears out, doesn't show prints, etc.. Just me though. Don't know about Vape Royalty coupons. I haven't received a notice from them. That 10% sale at ProVape will help you.

    I just want to emphasize to you that the P3 is significantly more advanced that the previous models. The boost mode is awesome! And they don't really cost much more when you consider you will not have to buy an extended cap or beauty ring for the P3

    Since you're used to low ohms, rda's and perhaps lung hitting, why would you not look at something like the Orchid or the Erlkonigin clones vs the KFL ones? They have far deeper juice channels and excellent air flow in comparison.

    Just curious about thought process, so I can perhaps make better recommendations the next time somebody asks.
