I did the same. And felt the same until i realized two full months had passed without touching it..

To be honest, they are fantastic, and I felt bad letting it sit. It wasn't the money, really felt it needed to go to someone who'd use it.

It was a part of my thinning of the herd... Only the strongest survived. :)
That's a good point. For example I love my RSM Destroyer but honestly I don't think its been used in 2-3 months. You are spot on, I'd much rather have it be used by someone who will use it than sitting in my small collection...

If only I could get that tiny voice inside me yelling "NOOO the collection needs at least one!" to shut it.

FYI all you Android fans. I've officially joined the "dark side" and have given up the iPhone if favor of a Galaxy S3. Gift from the fiance :)

Hell yeah buddy, you'll never look back! I've got an S3 and plan on snatching the Note 2 once VZW drops the price a bit. Samsung phones are the shiznit these days.

I still use my Jazz epipe a bunch, but usually just at home :) Bought it from a fellow Hybreed and it works great with a CHID on it. Actually just a couple weeks ago I went to a whiskey tasting and brought it with me. The tasting was held by the Cigar & Fine Spirits Committee so I felt bring a pipe was more appropriate lol

Overall my iHy's see the most action, thanks a lot Faceless for messing with my other APV's usage! :mad: :laugh:

Yeah, I had the same voice for a long time...

It finally hit me when I found I have too much gear I REALLY love to even use that subsection in a regular basis...

There isn't much left in my sig that I'd really part with at this point.. And with the exception of the ePipe they are all in regular rotation, each filling a different "need"..

This made me laugh -- only watch if you want to smile


lol theyre just like us, only smaller and w/ tuxedos :laugh:

little bit of work and this is the stand for my Hell Raiser

IMG_20121227_010559_619_zps38087ea5.jpg

:thumbs: all it needs now is to be painted in virgin blood :evil:

And with all that said, including what I said, I still prefer 30g untwisted on my iHy from both performance and lifespan perspectives.

Aren't options grand? :2cool:

aggreed, the twisted tends to get irreperably gunked up to the point you just cant burn it off lol. sometiems that doesnt matter but im getting to the point I have a lot of devices and dont want to be changing coils all the time. I might do twisted on one of them every once in a while, but for my gf's stuff and other stuff i keep it simple. btw the tighter you twist it the better, it does add length to the actual wire but increases its gauge, so the current travels straight through it as the wires are touching cause theyre wrapped tightly together.... once it gets gunked however, that tightly wrapped twist will work against you. hope that made sense lol, i rarely do. :laugh:

I NEVER thought I'd part with my ProVari.... Sold it, haven't missed it....



Pics would prove it.

I still love my pro/zaps, but they just dont get me to the same place as an mechanical pv/genny or hybrid can in terms of options and if i do the same coil Im vaping right now on a 'vari, at 3.7v it will error out. but try explaining that to a provari lover, lol they just dont understand it and I work w/ a couple and one of my coworkers knows in the depths of his soul that a zap on a 'vari is the best thing there is, the funny thing is he doesnt have one yet, I let him borrow one of my zaps for about a week though and havent gotten it back yet :facepalm: . that said I still use them but I usually go for a lot of wraps at a higher voltage and that gets me close. My gf on the other hand loves hers, shes constantly playing w/ voltage up and down, up for quick hits and down for chain vaping, not to mention readjusting it when she changes juices or to play w/ the flavor (shes getting into DIY and has some pretty complex flavors so far, one she called "exploding .... lab" is frakkin awesome lol) I like doing the same thing, but even in terms of size a pro/zap mini is a big honkin device to take out of the house w/ you :laugh:

lucky, I'm stuck w/ the iphone 5, it really is awful. it was a "gift" from my gf but she used our upgrades for it, knowing damn well i wanted a GS3 and hated my iphone 4 (basically the same exact phone). :( shes one of those that only uses her phone for calls and texting, so its no big deal for her but for me I have to use it for work.

That is a pretty p plus todd. I heard those hellfires rocked out the vapor.

one of my coworkers has my dream setup, (hes actually the guy that got me and a bunch of other people there to start vaping) its a hellfire mini/gp piccolo.... its so crazy watching the plumes that come out of that tiny thing. :laugh: I'll prolly never be able to get one though :( but i've been looking at the did d16/temon, which looks pretty good.

Hell yeah the Note 2 is what I'll be rockin' this March. The iPhone 5 just didn't impress me enough hardware-wise.

And I'm not trying to offend any iOS users out there. I don't do phone arguments so don't think I'm bashing. If you wanna have a contest we can cut the crap and just measure our

Same problem for me. They just get wicked gunked up. With straight 30, I don't even dry burn but maybe once a week, and an average coil lasts me about a month.

On the ProVari, you nailed a big part of it for me. The smail gain from VV was well offset by the extra size. I much prefer the ZAU on the Paps or 18500 Bear Brass mod than on the ProVari Mini for size alone..

aggreed, the twisted tends to get irreperably gunked up to the point you just cant burn it off lol. sometiems that doesnt matter but im getting to the point I have a lot of devices and dont want to be changing coils all the time.

yeah vapor the 'vari minis are all we have theyre small w/out anything on top of them but once you put a genny atty on there they are the same size as a 18650 hybrid (and you know I only use 18350's, I dont even own any other type of batt). the coworker of mine who wants a zap so bad has a standard 'vari and uses the 18650 extension..... dont get me started on how huge that thing is. when I got my 'varis i bought them for the zap not the other way around, so i got the minis, but the standard 'vari w/ MY zap (lol) that hes been using is just rediculous, its awkward, it looks dumb and he looks dumb vaping it. I can deal w/ my pro/zap minis in 18350 mode but i never take em out of the house. I usually just take the SW or paps/zau out w/ me cause i want to be able to cover it up w/ my hand while vaping it, it helps if people dont see a huge honkin device and you blowing out plumes..... I've actually had a woman drag her child away from me when I was vaping outside during my gf's errands :laugh:

it's just amazing to me how far vaping's come even in the few years since I started. soon enough there's gonna be laser power atomizers, sonic powered atomizers, and induction charged batteries. mark my words.

Funny you should say that! I was just pondering heating a wick with a laser just the other night!

Ya mine is usually rocking a DID or my one Phiniac :) But they do have a point, a RBA on top of there in 18650 mode is like a baton. Big ol' slammin' device.

I use my Pro in 18650 mode with a full size DID and a giant skull DT on it,

Yes it's a monster in size but I love the way it looks lol

not to be mean about him though, I laugh about it but he doesnt really care. myself and my other coworker love small devices, which is one of the reasons i wanted the paps/zau.... how small it is, and why I want a piccolo/hf mini. but this guy doesnt think that way at all lol, I dont think he really cares how huge his device is, hes got a 18650 'vari, w/ one of those carbon fiber hard shells on it and he also loves to use those BIG battery 26650 devices too.

the funny thing is, i just got my paps/zau and ever since hes always talking abotu how he loves it, but cant get it because all he has are 18650 and those big batts.... but yet hes talking about buying all these devices and batts are like $8 or less. I'm trying to get him to get an iHy instead of a zap, or after, cause at least he'll have that 18350 option though I doubt he'll ever use it. the iHy and other hybrids arent so honkin big in 18650 mode as a standard 'vari w/ a genny on top.

I find myself getting into the 18500 thing lately....

Still partial to the 18530, but 18500 is a really nice compromise...

You need one of these next:

I mean it could be done. but you would have to split the laser and keep the heat up. Dont you think faceless would have already thought of it if it were possible. lmfao
Its definitely possible, the more likely question is if it is efficient, practical, and affordable...
