Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

That is a beautiful combo!

I hate to be "that guy" and say this...
BUUUUUUUUT:
You really shouldn't fill the tank that full.
The vacuum/pressure system of a tank is acting on the air in the tank, not so much the juice.
This is why so many tank systems will warn you to only fill the tank to 80-90% full.
When you take a draw/drag/puff/hit, the vacuum of your hit, causes the air bubble in the tank to want to expand, thus "pushing" the juice into the wick/juice channels.
The air isn't really pushing on the juice, as much as it is just trying to get past the juice...like it's saying "Get out of my way juice! There's a low pressure area/vacuum (in the vaporization chamber, caused by you taking a hit), and I need to get there!"
So, back to my original point: I'd always recommend filling the tank about 90% of the way.
Sure, it may work when 99% full, but not as well as it does when it's 90% or less full!
This has been your moment of science and nerdiness!

The pressure difference exists inside of the coil body, the coil body having a negative pressure differential to the liquid portion of the tank. and the propensity of the liquid to be drawn by the wick causes the e-liquid to migrate along the wick to the coil. Even the tiniest of bubbles can expand to many times their volume with any change in relative pressure. I am a scuba diver and have played with bubbles, bottles, balloons etc. at three and four atmospheres pressure. Liquid does indeed transfer pressure very well. I'll keep my tiny bubble at fill time, at 7.6 watts, I don't think I'm going to scorch my coils

When I got back from vacation last week, there was a SM V3 Semovar in the classies. I've been debating picking one up from DashVapes for a couple of months, but didn't really feel like spending around $130 on what would essentially be a backup mod. I already had 4 mods at that point - the Radius, P2.5, Lavatube 3 and the Mark Bugs WAE II.

The seller agreed to let the Semovar go for $50, so I pulled the trigger. I received it today and am extremely impressed with everything about it, from the build quality to the threading to the tactility of the fire button. The Radius has been my daily driver since I got it, but I may actually switch to the Semovar for a while. I think I'm done buying mods for a while...until something else strikes my fancy!

I have heard good things about those. Famous last words, "I think I have enough mods." Lol...

Essentially, the Semovar is like a hopped-up P2.5. It has both VV and VW modes, as well as a couple of other features that the P2.5 doesn't.

I completely agree on the famous last words. In the guitar community, there's a term called GAS - Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. I fully admit to suffering from it!

I've been thinking about getting another mod meeself. I have a $50 gift certificate to use at my local vape shop, so me thinks a Blue Radius may be in the not very distant future. That would give me two Radii and a P3, 3 Kabuki, one Russian 91%, 2 KFL+ with Plasma Tanks, enough cotton and Kanthal and 20 boxes of Nautilus 1.6 ohm coils. I should be pretty well set if'n I say so meeself.

I suffer from BAS. I can relate.

Actually, everything looks different today. Was there a forum format change or sumpin?

I have a custom 7-string PRS arriving in a couple of weeks, same finish as the one in my avatar. Set me back a few mods, I mean, bucks!

Someone posted it on another thread earlier. The forum template was changed.

Naw, I saw it last week....plan does good work. It's flattering actually but it was sort of personal.

Rod, if you want your old view back scroll all the way down and click the ecigarette forum button at the very bottom left and then choose ECF

Go to the very bottom and left of the page, see the E-cig forum/ or ECF and the little paintbrush icon? Click on that and you have three different skins to view the forum with now...I like the Dark setting

We'll need to see some pics when she arrives. It's a verification bureaucracy thing, title 5, subsection iii. I am sure you understand....

Yay! Thank You Thank You. I didn't need no change to the forum format. And now I can have it as it was!

Here are two of my sexiest ladies to tide you over!

I like the dark too. Except it makes everything compressed like this....
