Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

[Myrany]

I do believe I have found a beater mod that I won't be afraid of dropping or taking out of the house. Me thinks my next purchase will be Kangertech Drip box Starter Kit

Even with spare build decks I can come in way under $50 and no risk to my REOs

EDIT: vape? this is in no way shape or form a beginner mod. This be a skip over for you.

A tale of Provarinatitarianism: I mean, it couldn't really be true that Provaris have some kind of smoother power delivery system, could it? It's just my imagination, right?

No, it is not your imagination, dear Dave. You can disclaim membership in the provarinati, but you know the value of a Provari.

 

[lulu836]

I have done that before and it turned out terrible

A little like mixing a vodka beverage using Dr. Pepper. Yes I have done that (not on purpose) and it is nasty!

 

[bigbells]

Newp. The provari vapes very well. Still, not my fav. And yes, the mod does make a difference. No clue why, but they do. Which is why I still favor the old SVD over everything else. Itz da flaver stoopid!

Mm, dunno. Just my imagicnation maybe. I can't use my usual coils because they're too low in resistance, so I'm using a 1.28 ohm Kanger OCC coil in my Subtank. I had the power at 3.8 volts on the Provari because 3.9 volts tasted a little burnt. That's 11.3 watts. When I put the same tank on my iStick 40W and set it to 11.3 watts, I don't think I can tell any difference. It's just that I normally vape at 13 or 14 watts.

I'll have to do some thinkin' on it. Ouch, ouch!

I don't know if my Provari 2.5 mods are version 1 or version 2. If they're version 1 they'd top out at 3.2 volts with the 1.28 ohm coil, due to reaching the 2.5 amp limit built into the device. If they're version 2, then they wouldn't top out until 4.5 volts because of the 3.5 amp limit.

Ooh! Ow! It hurts!

 

[bigbells]

It's a straight up 1 flav recipe. 18% Pom (Flavor Apprentice) & 1.5% Lemon Juice. That's it.

18% Porn? Is that enough? (No, you didn't really do a typo.. I'm just inclined to see one there.)

 

[Debadoo]

I wonder if the fact that I was mixing it at 3% and no lemon juice had anything to do with the wierdo taste. I may have to try Janets recipe and see how it goes.

were you using FA or TFA? FA would probably be about 3%

Butttttt sailor jerry's rum and dr pepper with a spritz of lime is quite tasty!

See, here'z da deel. I just don't get the latest, greatest 5000 watt furnace. The SVD was stunning for flavor. Innokin products give me the best results. The "older" innokin. MVP's are great. For me. (SVD2... not so much) I usually run 1.5 or 2.1 coils. Power? Generally 7 to 9w. The provari's... 3.6... ish. And I do run them up or down quite often. If I ever turned em up to 14w there would be fire coming out of the drip tip.

I got concerned enough about how close to the creek the tree-cutting was getting across the creek that I called the county Ranger, a friendly fellow who told me he was definitely going to investigate to see if any conservation regs were being violated, and who thanked me for letting him know.

I feel a little like a snitch, but I have no idea whether any violation is occurring, just wanted to give a heads-up.

Wow, that looks awful! The dead trees, not your video.

You have the Provari 2.5, that's version 2.5. So, not a v1, not a v2, and not a v3. However, the 2.0 and 2.5 have the same electronics, just different styling.

 

[mmsjs5]

Um.m.m.m.m.m.m.......wasn't the question concerning the 30? Big diff between the two.

She asked about the 30 but said she was PIF'd a 40. I was taking care of what she will shortly have before something she may get in the future.

 

[mmsjs5]

Here's his review of the 30W,
The istick review starts at 4:35ish.

Thanks, DH. I haven't found anywhere that states the amp limit of the 2.5, so if it's the same as the v2 and the v2 is 3.5 amps (which is what I read on a chart from Provape), then the 2.5 must be 3.5 amps. That makes sense, right?

 

[Vape?]

You really believe that the taste is affected by the device? I'm so curious to try vaping at a different level. Will be quite a treat. I'm Getting ready to blow this weeks spending money on more flavours to try. Looked at giant vapes , but the names aren't descriptive. Would take forever to read them all. I am gonna try watermelon, just appeals for some reason, maybe add a bit of wintergreen. Favorite pre made vendors? I've tried vaporfi, Mt. Baker, vape wild, and vapor empire uk. No clear favourites yet, but need to order all from one each time because of the shipping

it is a thirty that's coming, not forty. So thanks for the new video.

@MikeE3 somewhere in the back of my mind it seems like you were asking about bottles with red snap on tips......maybe not, or maybe it wasn't you, but are these them? Coulda been Janet, dunno

ewwww that sounds terrible lol I think i'd rather pour it over ice than that any day!

I haven't drunk much vodka, but thought it went with anything......reckin not lol

 

[DancingHeretik]

Thanks, DH. I haven't found anywhere that states the amp limit of the 2.5. I'm guessing that it's 3.5 amps.

Provari V1 vs V2:
. . . . the V1 has a hard guaranteed current limit of 2.5 amps over the entire output voltage range. What is done with the V2 upgrade is allow the output to be adjusted down to 2.9 volts and increase the output current to 3.5 amps over the output voltage range of 2.9 volts to 4.2 volts inclusive. Above 4.2 volts the output current limit varies to provide an output power limit of 14.5 watts. This was done to allow the unit to work better with low resistance atomizers.

 

[Vape?]

I swear I've just got this mental block. I cannot make heads or tails of amps, watts, voltage and how they interact in a vaping device. It's like listening to a foreign language. So I'm really hoping it's not a requirement. I just need a chart with the low to highest numbers and stay in the range. Not being particularly interested in such is not helping. Rrrrrrr. I'm an intelligent woman, but this subject beats me every single time I approach it.

I'm one of the lucky people who has really tolerant taste buds so I can vape just about anything. I'm also egotistical enough to actually believe that the worst DIY joose I've ever made is better than the best pre-made joose I've ever tried. That said, Mt Baker's Cinnamon Roll juice is pretty good and most people like it. All you can do is experiment until you find what hits the spot. For me, it tends to be fruit and mint (or menthol) flavors. There are definitely some premade jooses that have almost cult-like followings, like Pluid, which I've never tried and feel no need to try.

Depends. Not sure if I've ever tried vodka with Dr Pepper but I probably have, since I've tried and liked vodka with everything I could think of. Vodka and Coke, in my opinion, is just as good as the better known combination of Rum and Coke. Tonic water and any liquor is also good, in my opinion.

To @Iffy's amusement, I find vinegar, water and any liquor to be a good combination. On a total tangent, I've recently been trying out a bunch of different ales, and wow, adding liquor sure does kill the wonderful head that ales tend to have! Nevertheless, I find the taste of Everclear and good ale, or tequila and good ale, to be excellent, even when the head is dead. Mixing ratio: 5 to 10 parts ale to 1 part liquor.

Please, don't expose those of us who pretend like we understand Ohm's Law. (That would be any of us who profess any understanding of Ohm's Law, because nobody actually groks it fully.) Ya know what? You don't need a chart. You just need to experiment with different wattage settings on the iStick 30W until you find what tickles your fancy. For myself, I never found anything over 15 watts to be good, preferring the range of 8 to 15 watts. Other people, though, will swear by higher wattages. It boils down to what tastes good to YOU, not what tastes good to somebody else.

If your delivery device (tank) has the ability to adjust airflow, that is another thing that has a large effect on both flavor and vapor volume. You have to experiment with that as well.

The worst hit I ever took from a vaping device was better than the best drag I ever took from any of the 800,000+ cigarettes I smoked prior to vaping.

Thank you... Bout ready to bang my head against the wall. I sincerely hope I'm not the only one stumped by these things. And if I don't need to know it, that's a relief. Only my pride gets hurt. I can live with that.
