SM V3 Semovar VS Provari

[ethermion]

Not too much time to play with it. The body and the tips are threaded, so you can make a big stack. Nicely milled, solid, no air leaks. But, at some level, they are nicely made pieces of shiny metal. Would have been more impressed if some pieces had a different bore, but perhaps only so much you can do with the chimney thing in there. Here is one sample build:

To the top of the big beer bottle and beyond! That beer bottle is the size of a wine bottle. And let NOBODY say their beer is better than mine. Phone Dude, you listening?

And, also shows the long mode tank.

Cheers from across the pond.

Here is a Semo in Phone Dude mode. 18350 tube, the short makrolon tube, and a puzzle tip without a puzzle body.

Funny thing, is that my 18350 tube does not really match the finish of my semo either. Grrr.

I have the same problem... Honestly I'm still not 100% sure what the finish is called...

Anyway, thanks to my buddy, here is a picture with little Russian flare. 18650 Semovar in hybrid mode, puzzle drip tip, orange window and tank.... got a little tired of the beer pictures.

FYI: I was using my Panasonic 3400B battery today, got the E5 error which I think is battery sag, took the battery cap off, noalax'd all the threads and the spring (which is reversed), and the E5 error went away, I drained the battery down to 3.6v.... probably got another hour and half vape time, give or take.... never saw the error again though.

Dunno about the finish. I bought my semo from intaste and they said brushed. I bought my 18350 tube from intaste and they said brushed. I double checked the paperwork. Not happy, but I am diggin' stubby mode. Almost as good as the sticker, battery life is about the same. Thanks to Phone Dude for the esfest recommend. Apparently, he and I are the only ones using batteries in their semo...

In stubby mode, I am using the "nano m-tank short". I like it. I am also using the puzzle drip trip without the body. Reasonably happy with the puzzle purchase.

As for your pic, heh, game on. Grey goose? That silly expensive tasteless odorless alcohol product? Bottled in Cognac France?

Here is a stubby mode semo next to a maccaferi style guitar from Cognac France. I like both of 'em.

Saw where Cloud9 has the Puzzle Drip tips now:

So I bit the bullet and took the risk and ordered some goodies that I've been missing from digitalsteam.ee ( a Semovar collector tank, a 510 drip tip, a an 18500 tube, an 18 mm top cap, and a provari ring). Interestingly they actually processed my order and shipped it the very next day..but now I am at the mercy of the Estonian postal service. I was trying to avoid falling a victim to the soviet system only to fall into the hands of the Estonian system. Anybody in here knows if they have mercy in their hearts?

 

[ethermion]

DigitalSteam.ee? Hmm. Did not know about them. DigitalSteam.de has a disagreeable reputation, but I have no idea about .ee. Interestingly, they seem to claim stock of brushed and chrome KF 3.1s. Not sure that makes sense to me.

Do let us know how you do. I deal with Estonia for work, and they are 100% straight up guys. Hopefully, things work out just fine.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

They were the only place (apart from Svoemesto.ru that had the beta finish for all the parts I needed. Will keep you guys posted..as far as I know they sent out my order and it's currently in a post office somewhere in Estonia (I tracked the parcel)..keeping my fingers crossed.

I wouldn't say it's better but it certainly is a match for quality.

Mine died last night. Well, not really died but wouldn't shut off. It threw an E3 error so I set it down. A few minutes later I went to pick it up and the KFL+ was very hot. It didn't shut down with the error message and just kept firing. I disassembled it but as soon as I tightened everything down it would auto fire again.
The good news is I emailed intaste and got a response back. They ordered me a new chip. They gave me the option of sending my whole Semovar back or them just sending the chip to me. Opted for the latter. Also, trying to find out about the mech button.

I do what he does. The audio is German, but you will figure it out. Replacing the chip is just a few minutes. Easy.

Tamer, I will take some pictures but it is really easy. Take off the section with the chip in it. On the atomizer end remove the oring from the white part. Now on both ends of the tube you are left with threaded in white derlin insulators. Notice the small holes in them and get a pointy object to place in the hole. Use this to unscrew the insulators. After they are out you will see a single Phillips head screw. Unscrew this and the chip will slide out. The chip sits in grooves so you cannot misalign it.

 

[Nodnerb]

Both are amazing. Need a pic of the provari tomorrow with another guitar.

 

[Phone Guy]

Its painfully easy to replace the chip, literally 1 screw.

You might look at the switch mech on the board and see if you've pressed it in too hard at some point, and maybe its stuck firing?

Hey ether, here's the picture of kayfun, semovar in long mode hybrid. Very nice having lots of juice!
