Had this damn cat. A ragdoll. Hairy thing. She’d ball up and go in full rem mode. You honestly could not tell which end was which. But then it wasn’t always easy any other time either. :)

I hated Provaris. Mostly because they were so expensive. Two friends (one now deceased) each sent me one as gifts. I settled down to KF's and clone nemeses. Then arthur became a problem. Since I already had two Provari, I set aside my nemmys and my prejudice, and picked up my Provaris. I am now using my Provaris with cartotanks. When I run out of cartos, I will have to switch back to my KF's. Since my juice includes a hemp-derived substance, rather than the evil nicotine. I really don't want to lose any by leaky toppers.

Converted by arthur, no-one's friend.

Nope-- I spend so much on my juice, I prefer to use up the cartos I have, then build my own coils. I started the budgeter's group a few years ago, which died with the transfer to the new software.

Ah, yes. But there is "gunmetal", and then there is gunmetal ZENKOTE! Oh, the latter makes my heart go thumpity-thump. ;)
Here's a good example of the difference between "gunmetal" and GMZ.
Santa waited until the January Sales before he delivered my first squonker yesterday.

VERY nice!

Or this, with only one of the two showing any level of "damage". Best mod finish ever, and by a fairly wide margin. A fingerprint or two is about all you ever have to deal with. :thumbs:

I think graphite finish on a P3 Ti is the best finish.

The Ti is a nice finish (same as the original Satin Silver), but look closely and you'll see plenty of "damage" marks (and I've got the Ti's that reflect it).

ZenKote is a whole other monster, from anything ever seen before or since. The XvoSticks were the toughest I'd ever seen before ZK, but even they're no comparison to ZenKote. Nothing is. The stuff is impenetrable.

I like that. It works for me.

But it's personal preference anyway, so...

I was convinced my next mod was going to be a Dicodes, but since I love my trans-atlantic settler brothers and sisters so much, I figured I'd finally see what it is y'all keep raving about. I haven't been able to put it down. Even though the sound that darn KFMv3 makes is still driving me nuts. I've started to call it 'the slurpee tank'.

It will make this sound if the juice control is closed and I'm burning my wick. It's not a flooding problem. The issue is with the airflow screw. I need to get €2 plastic airflow screws at Svoëmesto, but the shipping costs are €11.

Try removing the air screw and see what happens and if the flow is to your liking. Might be at least a temporary fix.

I use a GMZ when I travel because it is tough.
But around the house I like my graphite P3 Ti.

The majority of my Ti's are in daily use, as are the majority of my GMZs. They're all house mods for me though, because...

Well, I think "Doug Dino" said it best, so I'll defer to his wisdom >
