I'm also using 30.
Your coil looks too low & your cotton -- is it long enough to rest on the deck?
Take a small screwdriver or something & pull your coil up a little more.

I thought the same thing but, the tank always felt loose. From ProVape:
NOTE: Due to the design of the new ProTank 2 we recommend that you don't screw the tank down all the way to the ProVari. This will reduce the airflow. For best results, screw the tank on just to the point where you start to feel it tighten but don't turn it any further. It will still have a secure connection to the ProVari and allow for proper airflow.
When I got the air flow control, I could "snug" it a little and got better air flow with out fiddling with it. Just my :2c:

My AFCs won't fire when snugged up against it; I have to back it out half turn for it to fire- all three of them are like that- I dunno just saying.

Thank you. PoM did a wonderful job finding a banner that suits me and what I wanted. He has more than artistic talent. He has an intuitive ability to read what may suit a person. That is a gift.

The more directly the hole points to the coil, the greater the vapor.

The less directly the hole points to the coil, the greater the throat hit.

BTW, I vape 18. I started at 30, dropped to 24 for a long time, and now that I do RBA/RDA I find 18 is satisfactory. I have no plans for further reduction of nic level. I love the Claude Monet inspired Sig. That is very nice.

My vaping update: cartotanks are not for me. I gave them a week...and: meh. I taste the polyfill and it's still yucky. I'm going to put the massive lot of shinies up on the classies later this week (this is not an advert!), which is sad because they are very pretty. Sophia is still acting up. The two tanks it fits and IT are probably going to get passed on too.

Finally, I've admitted to myself that I only love ProVari MINIS. I'm going to try trading my standards for mini versions or passing them off to the Mr., who likes the standards with extended caps. Of course he does! :D

I am surprised though: none of those fancy things topped my trusty Aerotank on the ProVari mini. Flavor, clouds...nothing. Personal taste is a fascinating thing! :)

If you are going to place a large order with Fasttech, break it up into smaller orders. Keep batteries, even MVP/ego types totally separate from everything else. Same with juice. There is a history of major problems with the Hong Kong and other China postal services and the shipment of batteries and juice. Do not place one or two large orders. Do break it up so if one gets lost or held at Customs or returned by Customs to Fasttech, you other stuff gets to you.

If it says Kanger, it is Kanger. If it says Kanger style, or Kayfun style, it is a clone. The clones can be hit or miss. Lots of clones. The huge Fasttech thread used to be real good on letting people know what is a good battery, clearo, replacement heads, clone Kayfun. Lots of talk lately of clone mechs so you will need to search the thread.

Also, do a different order for something that is out of stock for 5 days and group by what is available to ship now. Make sure, no matter what, that you get a method of shipping that has tracking. If you have to pay a buck or two more for it, do it. Saves headaches later if something goes amiss. And take pictures of the package when it arrives and what the items look like. Lots of packages go through a hard, rough journey to get here. Fasttech wants pictures for returns.

Nothing is defected she just decided on a lark after using Blu for 3 months to avoid analogs around me to take my MVP and put down the analogs for good so I have her my MVP and the ego threaded things I had around. We are both so new to this that we haven't had the chance to stockpile anything. Well it was just me for 2 months- first month I was recovering from a huge surgery so I was ordering everything online which made even the local juice more expensive second month I got the provari- and I'm on a fixed income till I can get back to work(soon hopefully since everything is done-had to go back to college, medical foolishness).
Now I know what to get so let the stockpile begin.
All we had between the two of us was the MVP, provari - 2 clearos and 2 aerotanks. But, I did learn to make coils! Yayyyyy!!

That's the big reason I'm thinking of placing a huge fastech order mostly to get her a bunch of tanks And myself a few different types of genesis styles I can go nuts without having to smash my piggy bank.

Thank you drummer I'll take as look at 101. I wanna get her setup on a hassle free deal, taking anything apart will turn her off from this.

i've ordered a total of 4 kayfun clones from them, the last order was my 3 clones, recieved today. but one clone is bad. i'll have to take pics of it and submit it online, the threads are sharp and jagged. but they are pretty good about replacements, as long as you take a pic. oh and my last package took two weeks to get me. so not too bad, and that's from when iplaced my order :)

Savoir-Faire is everywhere!
I buy nothing BUT Minis. The standards hold no appeal for me whatsoever.


Since I've been working, I found Hypertanks to be my go-tos as they don't break (yet, at least) when they hit the ground while I'm shuffling papers. I'm afraid all my other stuff would do and I've already lost two ProTanks to the crosswalk....lol

How many people work at your office? How many of them vape? Smoke? Wear obnoxious perfume? I would develop a perfume allergy right quick. Get all the ones dousing themselves in perfume and aftershave to not use it. Why suffer alone.

This is just joking here, kind of. But it is a point of discussion. I had a boss that did not allow anyone in the office to wear perfume because she was sensitive to it. So I stopped wearing it.

I have found in the past 10 years that I am sensitive to perfume, those air freshener things and some fabric softeners and detergents. And that old Carpet Fresh stuff that you spread on the carpet and vacuumed up; that is what started the fun.

I was going to put together an email yesterday for everyone in the office as an educational thing to show them all how crappy it is to send people who are trying to quit/using vaping to quit out with smokers and how second hand vapor is harmless but had a hard time finding information on it. Plus, having to dive three pages deep into a Google Search when the first two all have studies showing nicotine in second hand vapor and whatever else they said was there hurts my argument..............and to clarify this, I am not saying which studies are accurate or inaccurate............just that the ones I wanted weren't in the first few pages.

I don't give a fat baby's d&*k what people think of me but I do think arguments full of logic, facts and reason will do us no good come "Vape-pocolypse"

I was torn on whether to get the mini or the standard. The mini is much smaller then I thought, which I love. Fits in my hand beautifully, but I have such a long commute and those tiny batteries terrify me. The dimples on the mini own me over. I prefer them to the standards design. I've got an extension cap coming, so hopefully I won't be reliant on 18350's for long.

Thank you have my shopping list already- know I'm not anxious or anything. Won't be ordering till first week of May.

Setting it up in groups so that I can start the ordering and waiting process.
Do they make press on nails for men? I'll be biting mine till the boxes get here and I'm sleazy down to nubs- lol
Seriously I wasn't this excited about a hobby when I got my first boat.
