The Provarinati Saloon

Have you tried calling any shops? They usually have all the colors still.

Oooooh good idea!

Offering my assistance. Someone needs to hire me a plane to get to you now...

What are the purple batteries and are they button top so they can be used on the Provari? Where can you get them if they will work. I am thinking to get a few more 18490s, my favorite size for Provari Mini.

ReadyXWick is very good. Here's how you make it better. Wrap it with mesh. Then pull the ReadyXWick out and throw it away... haha

Dual coils have some advantages. Here's how you make it better. Take the dual coils. Throw the KF away(burn it, if it's a clone). Put the dual coils in a REAL atty. There, all better.

My, aren't we feisty today?!!!

<snip> At the rate we're going, we'll have one of each color before long lol. <snip>

I approve!!

I have to share my excitement. I just ordered the Zenkote provari! We will now have 5 ProVaris in our house. Too much? Three are mine, and two are my hubbies. We just got him the emerald metallic, which is beautiful by the way. More of a forest green with muted sparkle, but very manly. Especially since it's his favorite color. At the rate we're going, we'll have one of each color before long lol. I'm still waiting for a metallic royal blue myself. Think one's in the pipeline?

Never liked odd numbers. Get him another one to make it an even 6.

If it helps, I have found that putting the legs of the coil, in the bit/screwdriver/thingee........so that they sit inside the screws helps too. It is hard to explain in text but when the legs sit outside; it can move about but when they are inside. It gives some resistance on the other end while tightening one screw.

The delicate balance is not flying to Germany to punch the designer in the adam's apple

I am sorry. I read what you suggested (not the flying to Germany part) several times and do not understand what you are saying. I try to put the leg wires so that they go in the clockwise position I will be turning the screws so hopefully the wire is not spit out when turning the screw. This is so frustrating.

You know how some people have pool boys? I need a coil guy.

Yeah, I'm thinking there is a Stealth or two in our future, and then I'm still holding out hope for the blue zenkote. I know HoH said it's way too expensive, but a girl can dream, right?

Shari what equipment are u using ? I use a 5/64 mini screw driver.

I am using the Gizmo coil winder with a 1.53mm rod. It is the only size that works for building micro coils. The next size up is 3mm I believe. I have tried using drill bits and screwdrivers a bunch of times. My hand coordination is not good enough to grasp and manipulate all the little things I need to at the same time.

 

[ShariR]

Are u using organic cotton

Yes. The cotton type is not an issue because I have used it before and had mind blowing amazing flavor and vapor. It is my build or the amount of cotton I am using.

I feel the need to wind another coil coming on.

Don't know what the purple ones are but the Provari only takes button tops. This I know because I have about two dozen flat-top 350s and 650s which are now useless in 3 PVs. Don't want to go back to older PVs so I buy a couple of button tops a month so that I will have a few spares. Medicare, social security and retirement are wonderful things unless you really REALLY want something.

This right here is why I got into DIY. I can't fly by the seat of my pants anymore and trust that everything in commercial juice is safe for me. (Recently diagnosed sudden onset insulin dependent diabetic). So if these places are using the "all natural" (read fruit extract, sugar, etc.) Ingredients without me knowing exact ingredients this could be very detrimental to my health. I wonder how these new regs are going to affect that part of the market.

Hard to tell until the docs are published and some people who know how to interpret them read them and comment in detail in normal people language.

Here is the clearest article I have found on deeming. It contains a link to the actual document:

ETA: CASAA doesn't have an opinion yet, until they study it further.

30 AWG 0.696 Ω/in
32 AWG 1.091 Ω/in
34 AWG 1.758 Ω/in

These values work excellent as long as you do the math...

Wow, Provape is on a roll! Two and a half hours after ordering, I have a shipping notification! Way to be on the ball. My new Precious will be in my greedy little hands by Monday!

 

[serenity21899]

CNN's ticker states a 75-day comment period before the FDA rules become final.

ETA: After final, there are 2 years to comply.

Guess who forgot to swap out his ProVari battery for one that he apparently forgot to charge? The same person who forgot to grab a spare on his way out the door. Oh, and guess who is now 70 miles from home? The same guy who is tied up here for a few more hours, and no vape shop in between.

If people around me wonder why I'm a grumpy SOB today...no you know why!

Anyways, good morning y'all!

Was able to clean off the battery, let it rest all day, and it creeped back up to 3.5v. Turned the voltage down on the ProVari, and took minimal drags, and was able to make it home with only minor road rage

Use caution leaving batteries in a hot car all day. If at all possible, keep them close to you and in a temperate environment.
