It depends on the voltage you're running your Provari on. However, whatever your battery or your atomizer resistance, you will feel the drop in voltage sooner or later. Performance-wise, an ELA with a 1.0 ohm coil will hit harder on a full battery than a 2.0 ohm coil on high voltage, but will eventually drop because the current is unregulated. Kick is more about consistency and less about power because you can get 10W easily without a SLR coil

Cannot wrap a coil for a terminator to save my life. Always tastes like metal and burning. I've cleaned the thing 3 times, boiled it, soaked in PGA...

kayfun, however, was a snap.

Have you tried to torch the ceremic? Work well for me

Freckle that's a great story. Leave it to the universe to make our decisions.

I had a similar experience. I've got a second satin ELA on order and was looking at my stash and wasn't inspired by any of it as a potential mate for the ELA. Got up early Saturday to look at ordering a satin kayfun and just couldn't bring myself to spend the money. Oh well I thought I could just cancel the second ELA especially after buying 2 simplicity's. I saw the post today for the Kayfuns and now my Satin ELA has a mail order mate. Such willpower I have.



I never thought I would ever spend that much on an atomizer, never. I seriously purchased the first one cause I figured I would have no problems selling it in case I didn't like it. I love that thing, love it! It is a keeper!

You know I love the kayfun but still my favorite atty at the moment is the A.R.T Julia. Doubtful it will look very good on the ELA. That being said for silica atty Julia, Kayfun, and Term-C. I thought about getting a Taifun or a Ithika but I'm pretty damn happy with what I got.

The Taifun GT is a damn nice versatile atty. Can't wait to get my ELA polished in the first batch (151xx) to see how it pairs with the Taifun GT.

You're getting hot spots and/or shorts. Nothing to do with cleaning.

EDIT: usually caused by a lead that's too long. I always try to make the leads as short as I possibly can without touching anything.

Neither did I figure I'd spend that much, I think I've had one in a shopping cart at least 5 times and couldn't push that buy button. But the pictures and your testimonials convinced me it was worth a go. And I really liked the pics of the Satin combo!

the Term-c holds about 4mls , the Euphoria holds about 3.5? Term is about 23mm wide and Euphoria is slimmer, 17mm? Because of the shape, you will get more warmth from Euphoria but you can get a hotter vape from Term depending on how you set it up.

Either one will work great, but its like you mentioned , esthetics is what you have to look into. Euphoria will probably look better on a Precise 18350 or the Simplicity. If you look at some of my photos of ELA with Ody you can pretty much see how the Terminator will look.

The Kayfun is larger than the Odysseus, and will add more weight. As set up in my avatar/signature it weighs about 12 oz.

Yeah that does look really rad. It makes me think I should get a euphoria for my provari and a terminator when I get my ELA. I'd spring for the kayfun, but I've never vaped a silica tank, I might not like it. If I do like the others, I guess I'll find room for the kayfun. It's a great excuse to find another mod.

Silica tanks are finicky, but the learning curve is pretty shallow.

In the end, these are the variables that apply:
The Wick [itself], i.e. Wicking Speed + Thickness/Number of Wicks + Wire Gauge + Number of Wraps + Number of Coils + Resistance of Coil(s) + Voltage of Battery/Mod + Max Amps of Battery (battery safety) + Wattage

In my opinion, the most important variables are:
Wicking Speed (the wick) + Number of Wraps (@ least 4) + Resistance + Battery Safety (enough max amps) + Wattage

The scientific method is key here. And I find that most of the people that have mastered any type of coil uses the scientific method. The best method of all.

I'm just guessing most of the time. But I figured out the Gennys, though I'm still learning. I imagine silica would be easier except for the NR wire thing. But that's really only one extra step.

Hey David, I sent you an email on Thursday regarding combining order 16142 for a couple of T-tips with my ELA order 15185. Did you get it? Since you're in the 15xxx range now I hope I'm not too late with my request. :∫

We got it, no problem, we noted it and put it with your existing order.

If by "scientific method" you mean a little bit of research and a whole lot of trial and error...then I completely agree with you. All of the variables you mention apply to both genesis and silica RBAs, but in my experience gens are much more finicky than silica RBAs. And a setup that works well in one RBA might not necessarily be as good in another RBA. I think that a lot of it has to do with the design of an RBA. Then when you throw in the difference in people's preferences, you end up with a million different ways to set up RBAs. For example, my Penny performs best with organic cotton wicks at 0.6Ω; Ithaka best with vaporbase at 0.8Ω, Kayfun best with ekowool with 1.0Ω micro coils...and while my friends think that my RBAs vape great, none of them set up their RBAs the same way. In my opinion, finding out how others set up their RBAs is great information to use as a baseline, and then trial&error is used to dial in the settings to suit your style.

Dave, it's not worth it for me anymore. My order was set to ship out yesterday. If it hasn't I'll cancel my orders and let others get theirs a little bit quicker. I hope to purchase a different Super T product in the future when things have settled down a bit. I'll send you an email after your acknowledgement. Thanks in advance.
