Question for the people who emailed Bill the repairman. I emailed him Sunday night and I didn't expect to get a reply but it's now almost Friday and still haven't gotten a response. How long did it take him to reply to your email?

He was pretty quick to respond at first. Now that he has some work to do he is a bit slower. However, I'd double check and make sure you didn't mess something up in the email addy. It's provarirepair@gmail.com

I have made them up from the thickness of a piece of paper to credit card thickness...it's a trial and error thing to find which combination works with different atties.

Hey Occy. Got any tips on the Ruzgar? I picked up a couple and getting ready to set one up in the next day or two.

Please tell me you got real ones and not clones! I picked up a clone just to check it out and it's nothing like the real thing.

The build is basically the same as a kayfun. I use rayon for wicks. The biggest tip is filling: unscrew and remove the top cap and sleeve (When you first take the top off you will probably have to blot the Delrin part, liquid tends to condense there), then turn it upside down, slide down the glass a bit and fill the liquid into the gap. Then slide the glass back in place and reassemble. Altogether, it's a simple device - although the draw is too tight for some people.

I have two 510 Vika Fantasies coming from FT, but I am so tempted to get one of these. If I like the clone I may just go for the original. I really like the looks.
if you do decide to get an authentic Vika,check what phil says @12:40(so you won't damage the threads):

@Kat I thought of you when @The Ocelot posted her bejeweled mod :)
Scrap plastic, tag board, plastic coated mailer cards, whatever I. Find that seems useable. I use a cheap circle cutter and a hole punch to make them.
Plastic milk bottle I think will be perfect thickness for me.

A very thoughful person gave me a link for a store that sells Provape-1 for $90. The website says in-store only. I called them and they told me that they stopped shipping vape products because of the regs but they're willing to mail it if I sent a picture of my face next to my driver's license. As much as I would love to have it the price is a little too much for me.

Perhaps someone else would like to have one for the collection.

They are authentic. Got em from dashvapes. I take it you've never tried using the fill screw under the delrin insert? Pretty small hole size for a glass dropper. Seems about the same as a KFL fill port.

I like it, Bronzed One!! I run some like that, but would so much like to be rid of the KFM V3s. They annoy.
The Kayfun Mini V3 is my all time favorite atomizer. Dripper quality flavor, flawless operation, easy to use, built like an aircraft carrier, perfect size for my Radius. KM3 atop the Radius. The pinnacle of my vaping experience. :)

I could get by with that setup alone.

I think on my first email asking about starting a ticket took a few days to hear back. I shipped the mod back right after I got the form and information from him. It seems to me that he is trying to balance his workload so that he can stay busy, but not get buried in every Provari needing work and making us wait while he has our stuff.

I would give him until next week to hear back. I just got my mod back yesterday, so I think it was 2-3 weeks all together.

Hard to find one these days at a decent price, even a used one.

Original price is a decent price, IF you can find one. I know what provape charged dealers since I know one of them and I can tell you the total mark up was pretty low.
