I have to ask, what do the * next to the serial number on some tubes mean?

It means the Caravela was purchased by somebody who owned the original, corresponding number. Each serial number is initially entitled to purchase 3 "*" units as just spare switches, or complete Caravelas.

The only diffefence is that the "*"s are not counted in the original 1000 - It is identical in every other way.

Here is # 250* - still a perfect Caravela Hippie. Serial # is on back of ring on this particular one.

Are you in the States Odogg?

I think a lot of USA folks are using Cisco Spec 306s, easy to get, etc. In Europe it looks like the "Olympic"? "Olympia"? is a bit more common.
I believe Pedro formed the Vela using a Cisco Spec atty, but any 306 should fit.

I get mine from Avid Vapors, I have always had good luck with them.

Yes I am Blu :) Vegas :evil: what resistance do you use? I'm getting #484 (lottery winner) and #702 and match VL with it in Sep. so I'm starting to look into attys cartos stuff like that, I've only had this ZEN~ pretty much since I quit, I used a starter mod but it used hole punched cartos and about a week into quitting I scored this ZEN~ in the classifieds here :)

I use 2ohm Ciscos in the Velas ... but I Kick all my Caras. I run at 8-8.5 watts so it compensates for whatever I put on it. :D

I have used a 1.5ohm Aero, seemed about the same as the draw is a little "airier" ..... but some folks think 1.5 is too hot.
It's all a matter of preference I guess.

I would say a 2ohm atty is a safe bet though, you could always play around from there.

I'm sorry :( I get the ohms but not the kick? You use a kick in the Caravela? I only ordered the 18350 tube but I didn't know you could run a kick :(

I use a Kick in ALL my Caras .. I usually use the 18500 tube, and Kick an 18350 battery, or a 18650 Kick'd (using 18500 batt)

All of the newer Caras, from about #150 up (?) have room in them for a Kick in the 18500 and 18650 tubes.
The original ones, like my 004, I had to order an Adamastor tube for. They had shorter 18500/18650 tubes.

You just have to use the smaller pins and play around with them.

There is talk Pedro is going to make an 18350 tube with room for a Crown.
(it pays to read the forum :D )

I've tried to play the catch up game but with 3 kids always in your ear I either forget half of what I read or I'm on a continues chase looking for help in an already gigantic forum :laugh: I know he's been working on a Gen. but haven't heard anything since :/ now I'm reading you can use a VL with a Senisis. It's impossible to keep up I've been on a "Just Vape" journey also but winning the lottery jump started my mod addiction :laugh: serious I haven't changed my wick or coil for about 4 months and still puffs clouds :)
