Are these sitting too close to the deck?

    That's good news. I was so pleased with the build and didn't feel like redoing it. I also just read that resistance can creep up from gunk. Still concerned about that battery though. I'm gonna try another one and see if it still happens.

    So, how long do you go between refills in your Magma?

    I'm dripping every fifteen minutes or so , but only 10 or 12 drops at a time , the resistance does creep up with gunk , if you're dripping those raw nets they can clog up a coil quick .

    I did sample a raw NET just before rebuilding with duals. Only dripping clean HHV on those so far, because I'm needing a break from rewicking too. The heat here is making me lazy too. :)

    I just got finished rebuilding my Magma , I had it too hot for me at .5ohms , went back up to .8 and it's much better there , how's the flavor with it so far ?

    Flavor is fantastic! Even Huntsman tastes great in it right now. And I was not feeling Huntsman so much before.

    I just raised the coils a bit and tightened the post screws. Back to reading at 1.7 - 1.8. It's warm on the Provari at 4.5 - 4.9 volts. I can't imagine how warm it would be at .5 ohms!

    LOL not warm but HOT at .5 ohms , .7-.9 ohms is the sweet spot on it for me and Calve concurs with that , you definitely will get a nic kick at subohm too , BK gave up on 36mg in the Magma and 24mg is brutal too .

    Yep, my first drips were 18mg and I got a buzz. My newer stuff is 15mg, and it still kicks my ....! Not bad, in fact, it's kinda nice now and then to catch the buzz. But better to take it easy.

    I forgot to mention to retic and BK that I was at the local vape shop last week and they had a Panzer! I asked to see it, and even without a battery in it that thing was a beast! Don't get into any fights and start bopping each other on the head with it. No one needs any(more) brain damage.

    Very nice mod though.

    Regular Panzer or the Godzilla version that BK and I have ?

    been working the Magma for about 2 hours and it isnt going dry yet... I want to try another flavor but too lazy to change the wick... are you sure there isnt a hidden tank under there somewhere???

    It goes through juice PDQ with a dual 0.26 ohm setup!

    I thought I was well stocked up with HHV juice. I'll be ordering some more very soon.

    It's normal for the resistance to creep up a bit , but you shouldn't be having any problems running dual coils with the Provari , check your post screws they can loosen a bit from the expansion and contraction .

    Here's how I prevent loosening screws on the Magma.

    And that maple CR goes extremely well with HHV's Maple Eh?

    Can you tell I'm on a maple kick lately?

    So Retic talked me into it. I just bought the monster Panzer, Magma, and an awesome wide mouth ss drip tip from FT. It'll probably be a month before I see it but that's OK. It's all Retic's fault! :laugh: ;) Need to work on my arm muscles I reckon...this thing's gonna be a BEAST! But I'm bad ... so it's all good. It was time to reward myself for my weight loss anyway.
