    Being an introvert myself... I enjoy reflecting on a subject... I'm also pretty much OCD, so again details are of higher importance to me. So what others find or complain about something like that as being "tedious" and such... I'm a bit put off by it some since I'm often the same way ( detail oriented ).... It's the ole "one man's trash is another man's treasure" I guess.
    I already knew the details on the KF4 from watching Todd's review . I just wanted to hear PB's summary .

    Old Man Trauma here....
    ProVape doesn't send booklets, they send something that looks like a 'Key' that goes into the side of the Laptop. Now what ?

    It's a USB drive with the files on it. When you plug it in, you should get a pop up that will let you "Explore" the files. The manual will be on there. Bronze and Robin will know more.

    Well, Round 1 of Orchid vs Dusty definitely went to Orchid.

    Trying to do a build with unfamiliar hardware when juggling shower, dinner etc for a 6 year old was a perfect recipe for failure.

    I got everything from messed up coil, broken coil, leak while filling, spilled juice due to bottle knock over .. until I finally got it all going just how I wanted it. .9 ohm single coil, no leaking, nice huge air flow.. big lung hit. Cough cough cough! I filled it with 12mg nic. :facepalm:

    I'll work with it again once Chloe goes to bed. :)

    Keep filing reports as you get them completed.

    I also just paid $25 for an LP Conversion on what used to be a VV Grand. I'll have to check it out, maybe send a few emails back and forth, but if it requires a spacer or a 'Kick', then I might just throw it up on the classies and cut my losses.

    Damn, I really liked that Mod, too. Maybe that's why Rob quit making VV Mods.

    Rob should make a DNA REO. There are no reasonably priced regulated bottom feeder mods. Most are high priced and hard to come by.

    STAY AWAY!!

    Pain in the .... to setup, and even more painful to fill it.

    I've got it going in dual coil .7 setup with 28g, but man, filling it was a nightmare. The Chimney covers up 1/2 of the fill hole on the deck, so no room for syringe to get through. Forget about bottle filling, because it just flows back out.

    Top fill is almost a MUST for this thing.

    Vapes really well, if you can overlook all the building/filling issues.

    Lung hitting and massive plumes of vapor with 3mg 100%VG. :)

    I'm waiting to see if the BELL cap makes any difference in the process, or also if I can find a top fill cap. If not.. I'll write off the $20 or so that I've thrown into two of these so far.


    Edit: ErlPrinz is WAY easier to setup and can NET the same results.

    Well, that's disappointing.

    The other day it was mentioned that Vaporshark was carrying the temperature sensing coils for the Aspire Naut's... now they also carry them for the Kanger Aerotank v2 ( fits Mini and Mega and probably others that used the dual coils )

    But the bigger news... is they also now have the ....

    Erlkönigin - Erlkönigin - Atomizers - Advanced

    and...

    Erlprinz - Erlprinz - Atomizers - Advanced


    I currently don't see the spare parts for those...

    Couple years back Rob made a 'Buzz Pro' Reos, called the VV Grand. Dissatisfied with the durability issues of the electronics, he stopped making VV Grands.
