Totally agree about the VAMO being way toooo long in 18650 mode. I tried it for a few minutes then haven't used it that way again. They must have a big circuit board in there, even in short (18350) mode it's as long as a Provari with an 18490 batt. It's the only thing I don't like about it - else-wise it's a nice PV. Particularly for the price.
FWIW the EVIC is an awesome device with the 18350 tube on it. Very light and 1/2" shorter than a standard proVari. Just guessing since I don't have a scale, but it's got to be close to 1/3 the weight of the ProVari.
Yes the eVic works well also. It's large but I think it's lighter than my mini Provari.
Anybody here in on the AnyVape V1 CVI coop? I have a pink and a blue set coming. I ordered an extra head for each one, so that's like having 4 pv's. I don't need them. I got impulsive, and I couldn't resist the price. I may put them in my vaping box. When I find a great deal on pv's, chargers, etc..., I stock up on them. Lately, lots of folks have been interested in buying vaping equipment, so I can give them a great deal at a low cost.
I've been making juice for 4 people(other than Hubby and I), too, for cost. That's gonna change soon. They'll have to buy their own nic supply if prices go sky high.

Jewels, sounds like you're going to have a fun weekend afterall.
I have a friend who is too nervous about DIY (way more so than even I was!) and she's getting very worried about what's going on. I haven't volunteered yet, but if she buys the nic and flavors I'll mix it for her. My other friend is now down to 0 nic so I don't mind mixing for her. I think we're going to be looking at some recipes in the next few weeks. Who ever would have thought I'd be able to do this!!! It's thanks to you and all the other nice people here who were so encouraging and helpful - especially Iffy for the Janet's Heaven recipe that's my all day vape. It's so nice to know that I can adjust the strength for evening vaping when I want a much lower nic level.

Have to admit that I do charge just a lil' bit above my cost for my v-verts jooses. I use that 'seed' money to purchase more flavs for experimentation. I do provide my best bud's bride jooses for free, maybe 30ml a month.
Yikes! I haven't gotten to the point of buying PV's to 'put away for later' yet. Too many I want to vape now!
But I did look at that co-op and the AnyVape PV - a novel & cost effective approach being able to buy an xtra heads for the extra tubes that come with the kit.
Yep, I think it'll be a good weekend. I just found out my sons won't be here tomorrow night for the game, so we'll probably invite my sis in law and her hubby.
I have gone from around 18mg nic to 12mg, and I don't notice any difference. I'm going to cut down further and see how it goes. I could probably stretch out my nic supply for a very, very long time. I am going to mix one of my fave juices at 0 nic to try it and see how I like it. I have always suspected that I am more interested in the hand to mouth interaction than anything else. Even when I smoked, I was never a really deep inhaler. I am hoping to ride this out to get to 0 nic.
Hubby's another story. He loves his nic. He's been at a steady ~18mg from day one, and he doesn't want to change. Eapecially since we read that nicotine may help to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's. Seeing what his dad is going through, he wants every advantage to avoid that horrible disease.
I don't post here to much because I tend to get too chatty, and I don't want the mods to move the thread...

I put them away for other folks. There are some people close to me that still smoke, and they have shown an interest in vaping, so I'm just waiting for them to make the jump. When they do, I'll have what they nedd cheaper than they could buy it.

Yes, I think I'm the same way. I do think the nic has some benefits and since my mother and her sister had Alzheimer's I'm not so anxious to get to 0 nic except before bed. A lot of it for me is the "activity" of vaping and the flavors that I love.
I just bought another 1000 mg of 60 nic and divided it into bottles for the freezer so I think we'll be good for quite awhile, especially if I drop my nic somewhat. Mike liked 18 nic and I liked 12 so we compromised at 15 to make it easier. Recently he had me make him some at 7 for his evening vaping, especially when he's trying new wicks and he's vaping like mad trying things out. I just mixed up a 10 mg batch to use for experimenting with flavors. I tend to vape a lot more when I'm trying new mixes. So far I haven't found any that's as good as Janet's Heaven though.
Well, we've got over 2000 mls of 36mg nic right now. Hubby wants me to get another 1000ml of 60mg nic plus more glass bottles. I'm just not sure about ordering it right now or waiting for a sale. It's in my shopping cart at MFS, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I was thinking the same thing about a sale, but I'm afraid there won't be any if a lot of people decide to stock up. And I'm also worried it might be hard to come by so I went ahead and ordered. Now I have 2000 ml of 60mg nic in the freezer. I filled the bottles all the way up and wrapped them in bubble wrap so they should be fine in the freezer for a good long time.
For some reason my neighbor doesn't come to ecf, but she's aware of what's going on because I keep her informed and she signs petitions. I told her I was stocking up for us. I'll probably tell her to order her own supplies and I'll either show her how to mix her own juice or I'll mix it for her. She's still smoking and vaping, but her hubby is now at the 1 year mark of just vaping. I don't think he even goes through maybe 2 mls a day. I'd say that's "almost" vaping. Between them and their daughter they might do well to mix their own. We'll see.
I guess if things get tough we could always look for Willie standing on the corner in his trench coat!

I don't see why you shouldn't. It's still probably a lot cheaper than they could buy it for themselves and they're probably more inclined to vape if they don't have to go to the trouble of getting it themselves. And anyway, you still have the cost of the bottles and the equipment you accumulated.
By-the-way, I just got some 10cc syringes. They'll be a lot more convenient than the 5cc ones I've been using. You probably told me to do that from the beginning. I've been putting scotch tape over the markings because they tend to disappear before long. Do you have a better idea than the tape?
I purchase the 100 mg nicotine since it's the most economical. I use ONLY a 5 ml syringe with a 14 ga blunt needle when I mix with it. I now have 12 different DIY mixes, and am in the process of three new one's, as soon as my latest flavoring order comes in. I also got one gallon each of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. I have enough, sans nicotine base to last me a year!
I will share some of my recipes, if anyone is interested.
Edit: I use cobalt blue bottles because they are the best against UV.

Wizard Labs is temporarily closed for relocation but they have the best prices I've found on nic, PG and VG. I have an order coming that I got just under the wire.
Has anyone read any final rulings, yet? I wonder how long it will take them to make this all black market.
