lol I've never tried one, but at 3 times the price, I can't see the benefit. with the top coming off the way it does, I doubt you could run over it with one of these

and it still work, but it happened with a reo. Popped on a different atty and kept vaping :D :lol:

Those actually have a pretty low pressure footprint, impressive non the less. ;)

converted maglight maybe, but I'd doubt the electronics in a provari would stand the test. If it did, you wouldn't know what it was doing, since the screen for sure would be busted.
One of the members here ran his p2.5 over with his Tractor-trailer (lorry) at a truck stop and although the tank was smooshed there was nothing wrong with the mod except for a few scratches. I'll happily take my radius and run it over with my truck in the back yard if you like. That's how sure I am about the basic physics involved.

lol you'd do that for me?? hehehe no need.. And a provari might hold up to the same punishment, but my point was, that it's incredibly rare. Most mods wouldn't begin to survive that sort of thing.
Without a doubt. I can only think if a handful of mods over the years that were built to take a beating. While I was overseas doing rescue work on my last call out Reos and Provari were the mods of choice whenever I saw a soldier Vaping. I got back a little over a year ago so that may have changed but I doubt it.

This is what I took with me

So after mucking around to be sure I actually could make a coil and wick properly, I set up my first SS for TC with my Bellus. A little playing around and my settings seem good for now, SS 316L spaced coil .9 ohm, 20W 370F. The "stock" SS profile for 316L had a temp of 450F with a ramp of 30W(?) I think. Way too hot for me. Down to 350, up to 370, and I'm a happy camper. I'll have to change that profile in eScribe. Now we'll see how it performa as I vape the tank all the way down.

Edit: Seems kinda cool now, so 400F it is. Guess I'll be messing with this all day.

There are actually many stories of provaris being run over and surviving. Another that would probably handle it is the Voidray

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... OK, it was the Orygun coast about 20 years ago... I was wandering around a place called The Devil's Churn (an inlet from the Pacific with really awesome wave splashes) and there was a sign there explaining the wave pressure and erosion, etc., then it said a woman in high heels does more damage to the rocks than the waves because her 100-pound body weight was concentrated on the pointed heel and was so many pounds per square inch more than those crashing waves. So, yes, a huge heavy vehicle with very wide soft tires probably has less actual destructive pressure than if you just stepped on it.

Indeed, women in high heels are flat out dangerous! :thumbs:
