Dusty..I purposely ran a set of Sony vct4's down to 15% on the Sig 100..Going now to put them on the multimeter. bbl with the voltage report.

:pop:

You don't like your VTC-4's?!

Lowest I've ever run my batteries is 49%.. I usually change them just as they are coming down to 50%.

In other words, don't answer what they asked. Answer what they meant to ask. I learned that conversing with women. :)


I just saw his request as exactly what he worded it. I guess too much left brain usage going on here. :)

Love vct4's..The Sig 100 starts shutting out at 15% and I removed those cells and the left battery tested 3.4v / right cell 3.3v on the multimeter. Safe for those cells imo.

The Sotong ring is on the P3 / SM Dusty sent me, this would be the ProVape tank ring I had to 'adjust'. Which seemed a little odd because it worked just fine when I got it on the same device.

I see. I had trouble with connectivity with the Sotong ring on my P2. It was rather sporadic but then it eventually was the case instead of the exception. That's when I took the ball peen hammer to it and it solved the problem (sanding did not do the trick). Made the ring spin but that wasn't a problem.

Next time use a small flat head screwdriver and gently work the Provari's centre pin upwards. It may be in there with 500lbs of pressure, but it does move a touch if required. We're talking micro millimeters here.

It will save you the hassle of destroying a beauty ring. :)

Why does your comment say P3 but when I do a reply to quote it says something else?

That Sotong wont work on your P3.

That's not bad at all. I'd love to know what they measure around 30 or 40% next please. :D

I had to correct the earlier post. No ring needed on P3. I bought a black beauty ring and a black HCigar KFL + to match the black P2. I actually tried backing off the center screw of the HCigar about a turn and a half, but still didn't connect. So I filed it. Can't really see where it's been filed once it's in place.

What kind of material is it made of Pop?
