ProVari Variable Voltage Mod

[IndustrialAction]

No matter how many mods I make with a CE2 as the basis, I never get them to wick fast enough to keep me happy. I enjoyed my AFSv3's for a time but they're overly complicated and prone to their own issues. Hopefully their soon-to-be-new-owner will enjoy them. The mini piezzo's have potential but they're damn expensive. vape nirvana must be out there somewhere!

vape nirvana must be out there somewhere!

Perhaps I am putting a lot of hope on the Giantomizer,,, but I don't have wicking problems with the C2s.
I use a custom long tip to cool off the vape and of course the Gummy Tank but, I also take out the bottom seal and only use the little flat center one. (Just don't lay it on it's side).

I know that 3 to 5 years from now the whole industry will be so far ahead of where we are now that we will look back at where we are now and wonder how we did it.


The mini piezzo's ???? got a link.

I'm not buying the whole Giantomizer thing. CE2's were also supposed to be the next great thing when they came out. Lucky for Royal Smoker, they were saved by the whole tank mod thing, which actually found a good use for a bad product. The Giantomizer is just gonna be Burntomizer 2.

I'll pull one when I get on my laptop later tonight. Google "mini piezzo electric pump". One upcoming device is supposed to have one integrated. Bulk orders are around $50/each. Very cool technology but not very practical.

Exactly...production level MAP...just a reasonable price...$30 for a MAP is highway robbery...it's a $2 ce2 + $2 in parts + $3 in labor...

I'm hoping I don't regret ordering one of these, If they last and actually work and I can just swap out the CE2 i'll be happy.

Well, not really. I'm sure that Poor 'ol M.A.P. is working his .... of making these things as fast as he can. A good machinist should be able to make about 4 or 5 of these per hour including cutting the lexan. So to put a $3.00 price on that much labor is asking for someone to work for nothing.


and the vendor has to make something too,,,, plus just who is modding the c2s to go in them.

 

[cuseguy]

No, it's a great product Shan, you will like it, possibly love it, many do. If nothing else, the MAP has opened everyone's eyes to many possibilities and MAP should be applauded for that. No one is saying that it doesn't work. More the issue is the price point for the materials involved, and the underwhelming nature of the CE2 on it's own.

 

[AlmightyGod]

Hey...I like my MAP...I just think $30 is kinda steep...

Two guys working together could produce quite a few per hour...

Just sayin...

And this is why so much is made in China.....

Contrary to popular belief, America's manufacturing sector is still the largest in the world by far.

Yes but we don't work as cheap!

A machine shop with proper tooling could produce 2000 map tanks a day, or more

 

[IndustrialAction]

LOL, making a MAP tank requires no machining. It is a tube with two plugs that have holes drilled through them. Hell, people are so crazy about these thing that I flipped three early tanks direct from Adam to people on ECF for $30/ea. They wanted them, they got them. I'm glad people are interested in mods. I'd just rather build them then buy them.

Yeah I hear ya... But properly machined delrin caps with o rings, nicely cut clear polycarbonate tubing... That's what I'm talking about... If you made injection molds for the caps, now we're talking 10,000 a day... Hefty startup costs, but they could be sold for a buck each and make a profit.

According to the UNIDO International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics 2010 (used for planning/forecasting by economists, planners, policy makers, etc):
Yes, we are still at the top for now.

The US is at 19%

China is at 15.6%

And... what amazes me is that a country the size of California -- Japan is at 15.4%

Those stats are based on $$$ value of product -- *not* volume of product. China spanks everyone in sheer volume.

............Instant Gummy Tank..............
How to: (remember,,, you saw it here first folks)
Get some free sample 7/8" ID x 1" OD lexan tube. cut it to 1" long, then quickly Grab 2 rubber bottle stoppers (viton rubber if you can find them) and drill a hole in the center that you can just barely cram the C2 into, don't bother to remove the C2's SS tube,,, just cut 2 slots into each side rather low but above the top of the bottom stopper. (Pull the top stopper off to fill and clean).

That should hold you till the Giantomizers come out.


BTW the up coming Giantomizers is why I don't sell Gummy tanks.

Edit:
If you want I can start a thread on how to build them if these instructions are to vague.......

I'm sure a lot of folks (myself included) would really appreciate this. I have 3 boxes of CE2's that I refuse to use until I can make something like a tank. They just don't wick for me, even after clipping, fluffing, etc,etc.

Where would one get the rubber bottle stoppers? The lexan tubing looks like it's available lots of places in sample quantities. Thanks for any advice you can give!!

China may spank everyone in sheer volume, but that also have over a billion people. In addition, what they are producing in Chinese factories tend to be low-tech, labor-intensive goods. I'd rather produce 10 high-tech widgets for 1mil that 1000 widgets for 500k. Volume/money--it's all about the $$.

My main point was that Americans have this idea we don't produce anymore--the chinese do it all, when the truth is we doubled our manufacturing output since the '70s...and continue to grow yearly. For a country our size, we still manufacturer 20% of all the world's goods. Our GDP is over 3x's the size of china's.

To get on subject, the Provari is made in America...the joye ego in china. Which one are you buying? I'm buying American, not just because it's American made, but because it's superior. Only in America!

 

[ukeman]

unbelievable... literally. even if true, what good is that if there is 20% true unemployment, with millions of manufacturing jobs outsourced?
Sure glad i got the Provari; for quality and buy/american

[McCordRM]

Well, that should be their new slogan:

ProVape, American owned and operated.
ProVari, manufactured in America.
Provape: Good for America, good for you.

Yea, that works. heh

 

[Nisitiiapi]

I never really considered it before, but are the parts for the ProVari made in America or are the parts made elsewhere and then just assembled in America? If they are made in America and not just assembled, that would be a great idea to promote. The LED screen, ICs, etc. are probably made elsewhere and that'd be fine. But, if the PCBs, tubes, caps, etc. are all manufactured in America as well as the ProVari assembled in America, it would still be a great thing to promote.
