Oops duh. Obviously you can see thats a mistake since 3.4w is nothing. Yup 3.2-3.4a .I actually just tried a 1.5DC and got it up to 4.9-5ishv.E2'ing on occasion a 5v. Yes thats Dual coil .My single coil 3ohm boges i vape between 4.6-5.5v.A 1.5 single ohm id be running around 3.5-3.9v usually.
I figured that was a mistake mainly wanted volts and u answered that:)
 
I hated my saddle valve. Love my VIP one. The saddle valve punches go dull after about 20 cartos. Then you have to resharpen it of get a new one. I think long term, the good punches pay for themselves. You don't waste cartos and/or juice.

Are you saying that the COV carto punch tool is a saddle valve? Well if it ever goes dull all I have to do really is just replace the screw that punch the carto, take it out, and use a hammer and nail, but I've punched over 20 ted def, and is not giving me problems at all.

The saddle valve is at Home Depot or Lowes used for piercing refrigeration lines to add freon, pull a vacum ect and they are cheap around 7ish dollars, these saddle valves will go dull quicker than the hardened steel of the COV carto tool at more money 40ish if I remeber correctly.

I took some pics of the difference . The rough texture actually makes contact with the body sometimes and makes a rubbing sound .The only button felt much smoother and solid. This diffused one feels and looks really cheap.It actually looks more rough and diffused then in the picture too. It has machining rings in it too along with the 80 grit sandpaper type texture.

Im really interested now because someone told me they got there provari within the same hour as me and it has a smooth button. If you have a mini post what button you have?

Hey str8,The button on my mini is more opaque than the button on my satin v1 and satin v2,but no visible(I can't see any)machining marks like yours.
The button on my black satin is like the button on my mini,and they have a little different feel too,a little stiffer.Still,no problem to find and push.
The button on the satins is clear like your chrome(maybe smoothed out from use),but the mini and black are not as dull as yours.

My black chrome came with what appeared to be a stiffer, more opaque button than my satin. After using it a bit, it now looks and feels exactly the same. I think it's just a matter of breaking it in a bit, at least it was in my case.

I'm on the fence about ordering either a satin black v2 or mini, and I just can't decide. Have they said if there will be an extension for the mini to use an 18650? That would seal the deal for me.

This is exactly the case for the button. They are all the same and when they come off the machine they have a frosted look but with use it will turn clear over the next couple of weeks :)

We haven't changed anything on the buttons
 
CSpencer516 can you post a bigger picture with the ProVari's from your avatar?
I mean bigger than the ones you already post it...

Oh you want me to zoom in on the provaris in the avatar so it's easier to see? When I get the right tank for it I'll make a nicer pic with them two together

The only thing that's bugging me is that it makes small holes. Maybe after it snaps through I just have to turn it a little more!

I can see that happening if it was just frosted however did you see the pics. Mine has raised rings(Sorta like a joystick on a playstation controller. . Also looking into the tube you can see the texture which my other varis dont have and thats not a area thats touched. I guess ill give it a chance to wear down but i really think the rings are raised too much to wear down that far. My other vari wasnt like that.
