I went so far as to cut down, drill and tap an old 808 cap to fit a 510 flush...It worked but not well enough for everyday repeated usage...

Dang skippy about the expense...Still it's a critical tool and after the sting of the price the quality remains...Most of the very durable finish has worn off my Pro and it still performs as it did on day one...I skrimp and save and then throw it too the wind...Where is that damn shipping notice????? trust I checked the no signature on the VapeRev/KF order...I still remember taking up post to catch that dang elusive FedX driver and that damn signature thing..Now it's back too skrimping and saving...Maybe by the weeks end we will be in pv heaven....Then it's time for a DarkStar....

After thinking about it I believe the E Vic is the pv made by Joye...It looked fine and dandy to me...Joye will always have my loyalty due to their little 510 atty...They alone got me off cigarettes...Three drips and puff...puff...

The Buzz Pro was a game changer when it hit the shelves...As some of you know I've been involved with NotCigs for a good while...I have opinions on the current state but I'll keep those silent...I will say that I feel the BP should have received a flush 510 and maybe an option to an 18 series battery...say an 18350 X 2...That would make it fit flush with the new style tanks with no gap from the raised 510...The 18 series would provide extended run time...The boost verses buck...The buck runs longer and if you vape over 4.2V it's the way to go...Boost??? It boosts fine but at the expense of run time...The key??? Whatever you choose as a topper should run best at 3.7 ~ 4.2 V...At that voltage the boost is fine and runs a good while...Now if you've read this far....Tre Mojitos have become top priority....That's fine...The East Coast Rep got let go...that's not fine...Dealing with inferior Chinese manufacturers was a mistake from the get go...The flooding of the market with not so much cheaper and far inferior to the BP PVs spelled death...At the end of the day there are only so many things that could have been accomplished...Buzzkiller will always be my friend and though I've moved on I'll always stand behind him....

Let me state that I took no offense to the 'rant'...I knew I was in violation...I also knew the current state of affairs...I'm good.......

I lead an active lifestyle...Yesterday as I pressure washed my transmission I was fully soaked front side...shorts dripping...ProV and KayFun in my pocket soaked as well...Nary a bump in the road it kept on going....My Pro is American...my topper German...I'll avoid RJR and China as well if there is any way possible...I don't involve myself in the many ProV love/hate threads.....vaping is critical to stay off the stinkies...I view my PV as a tool....Believe one thing I've got a sheet ton of money invested in tools...I view the ProV as the Snap On version...The job as I said....critical...

I know a couple of you want a KayFun....I fully understand the challenges you face building coils...I forgot to thank CL for the link too Kidney Puncher and that tool would definitely make the job easier...I say avoid China but some of those KF clones are pretty good...They deserve consideration....Still they run @ 1/2 a KF and that's at a $100 price point...Coils aren't that hard and the KF is one of the easiest to load the coil onto...I don't want to make it seem hard....The run time, performance and not having to depend on vape mail make it a definite go....Now I got dragons to slay...

Ya I can't vape 4.7. I was having this discussion with someone else that said the samer thing. Them boost regulated mods give a good vape alright but it doesnt match the Buzz. The first Buzz was the best one without the PWM. there's another thing that degrades vaping just a pinch, I still use my Beta Buzz, the one for testing at the opening of Notcigs. I hate the screwdriver but it gets a very good vape and I never change the setting anyway. I try them boosts once ever 6 mo. or so then it sits until I give it to someone that's starting vaping. It's very good for people that don't like fiddling around with batteries and now with the wattage adj thats what I recommended this lady I know needs to get.
The one I like vaping out of the best is the variable box I built. It has 2 14500 3.7v and I can vape that forever before it needs charged.

Well done Dee, and I'm so glad you took no offense! And I sincerely hope that Marti or anyone else did. I made a poorly thought out comment and I couldn't get it off my mind until I came back to apologize. In no way did I mean to put down the KayFun or other fine RBAs either.

I even discussed how bad I felt with my "dearest" before I edited my post. I still have mod powers here, but decided not to edit John's post to delete my rude remark. I said it, I own it, and I came back to make it right with my heart.

Mike will always have a big piece of my heart, he's helped me in more ways that anyone knows...I doubt he even knows!

ProV is a very fine APV, and if I could afford one I would own one...but my Buzz Pros (even tho I agree about the gap!!) will always represent some of the greatest memories of my vaping journey :wub:

I edited it for you Bo.

Morning all :)

You can still get the BP without the kit, but like Tracy said, just the 3 color choices left. Silver, root beer, or pink.

I made the watering round yesterday. Temps are going to creep back up into the 'too hot for me' category this week.

I don't care about the color because I remove it and buff it to a shine. But the only option I can find is the full vaping kit.

Try this link J5 Buzz Pro

Not sure why you are only seeing the full kit. Be sure to change the cap choices to brass for the better price ($79.95) and ask for an all metal bottom cap in the comments section on the check out page. I think the discount code is Buzzkill, or just shoot Terri an email asking her.

And thank you for editing your post! You didn't have to, I may be ashamed of the way I came across, but I'm not ashamed for it to be known what I felt the need to apologize for.

DarkStar...yep! Go Wharf :)

Cripes! Keep Chase inside on wee wee pads!!
There was one in a tree in front of Lauren's school about a month ago. They had a delayed opening bc of it. With all of their snow days this year they HAD to open at nine which was while the bear was still up in the tree! She snapped a pic for me on her way into school.
Shortly after that they were able to tranquilize and transport it to safety.

Oh but you forgot about PWM.:laugh:


Oh I didn't forget it, but since both of the APV's that have been mentioned use it, I didn't feel the need to. TBS, the BP and the other Pro along with the guys that made the first VW use PVM very effectively IMO. I don't know enough about the first two but the latter cycles at 250K/sec and metered, looks like an analog signal. I've extensively used all three and the are all great APV's (but there's always a place in your heart for your first :))

Now if you're tried others (the chinese sheet) as Dee would say, then I can see your point. PB meters them on his reviews and you can see why they perform the way they do.

The Yugo used a internal combustion engine... it doesn't mean a 'vette is crap :lol:




Or should i have said Hemi !?!?!?
