Android Loving Vapers, NOW HEAR THIS:

We'd also be most delighted if you dropped by the Mature But Mostly Immature Vapers thread ;)

Elm, my addled brain thought I was posting that in the Mature Vapers thread. But it goes for you guys too, I'd love to give you the Sandy's Ex-Chauffeur's Tour of Chicago. Guaranteed to thrill Chicagoans and non-Chicagoans, alike.

actually no I'll admit to cheating and using a 2600 lithium ion...I'm not a heavy vapor though by any means....most of my juices have low or zero nicotine...I started a fresh 2k imr right at about 2:30 and I'm sitting at 3.8 volts 7 hours into the discharge...so still not bad by any means...I tried cheating with my 3k lithium but it's too big for the provari even with the excap...so I guess I won't know what the life is going to be like on that monster until I'm done building the mod I'm working on atm...rest assured I'll let you all know when I find it :p

You're probably safe with an Li-on in the Provari since it has short and overcurrent protection and visual notification, but IMR would be much better in terms of safety overall. I think all failures have been stacked Li-on, anyway. If you've noticed, the pressure exhaust port is large and unobstructed in the Provari, although the way I hold mine, a failure would burn a hole in my palm. ;)

You probably know that the same charger works on both, so you could transition as you replace aged batteries. After reading the failure reports from Li-ons, I've switched just for the safety aspect. I can easily go from early morning to night and maybe into the next morning on an AW 2000mah IMR. That's vaping a 3 ohm Boge at 3.7v to 4.2v depending on the condition of the carto and the juice I'm vaping.

ETA: Personally, I think that a single Li-ion is relatively safe to use. I just like IMR for the extra safety it provides. Heat is not so much an issue with the Provari. The case is so dense that heat conducts to the outside quickly. Sometimes I'll feel warmth in the case when I'm driving and sticking it under my leg against the seat to keep it from rolling off onto the floor. I'll pop the battery out at a red light and there's virtually no warmth from the battery. It's already conducted out through the casing and the battery will be at room temp.

I agree with everything here you say Dave, and I do have imr bats,I just so happened to have this li-ion sitting here and decided to give it a try...the imr batteries work great as well,I logged 26 awake hours on a full imr 18650 charge (2000 mAh)...as well as 22 awake hours on an imr 18500 (1100 mAh)...I have to say I have never gotten that kind of power management from anything like this...the eGo twist I use is 1000 mAh and is be lucky to get 8 hours on it...plus the vape quality drops off as the battery drains...and simply put:I can't tell if my provari is about to die or its it's a brand new charge...it's exactly the same...I've been very pleased with it...and it easily out performs everything I own right now, in all aspects of performance, not just battery life...I swear if I only knew before I would have made this jump sooner...anyways though...yeah...I totally want a mini now lol...I'm thinking about going blue/blue with it when I get the cash to drop on it...if the power management it's anything like the big guy I won't even need the extension cap

Guys, I have a question. *OoooOOOoo, I just realized I am surrounded by men :)*
Heavenly!

Now for the question.

I have a 2010 MacBookPro. After I updated to Mountain Lion, I've been getting these error messages flashing across the screen, too fast to read.

They are the little grey boxes with information in them, like the ones you get that say "software updates are available". I can't read what they say, they are too fast.

I've been keeping Console open to see what the errors are when I get the messages, but I don't understand anything on Console. I almost always have Chrome open when this happens, and sometimes PhotoShop.

Any suggestions to help a girl out?

I've seen this issue recently at my office as they just updated all the computers to mountain lion...it doesn't like older machines...the best advice is to bring it over to a genius bar, as that is what my company did to learn the process to fix this...it's a very easy fix from what I understand...to the best of my knowledge the error keeps rebooting your shortcuts and that's what gives the system fits.

Thanks, Elm, I was hoping to avoid bringing it in. I'll try calling to see if they can teach me over the phone.

By the way, all the girls are flirting with you at Mature Vapers, c'mon back :)

My Kindle Fire lacks cell connections of any kind. That's not really a problem since there's wireless access and my Nexus is an 8 seat hotspot, though. The per device charges for Verizon are kind of ridiculous for adding tablets and other devices. If you buy a gigabyte package, what difference does it make who uses it and on which device?

To me, that's kind of like charging a per seat fee to sit down in a restaurant and order lunch that is also charged. Cover charge, anyone? There's no band to pay ...

this.if I were to buy a tablet...I'd likely not get one linked to my cell service, as that's expensive, when I could just tether my phones web to it if necessary...

This is one of the reasons I am still with Sprint. Unlimited still means unlimited with them. Dad and I both have a smartphone, and yeah they're charging that additional 10 bux a month for it, but that's tolerable considering the overall plan prices. I'm still waiting to see what happens with the recent purchase of Sprint tho.

Does anyone know where to buy a Nexus 7 besides online? I am getting multiple giftcards for Christmas and there is no way to make purchases online with more than one card. Thanks.

Everywhere honestly. GameStop even sells them. Most electronic B&M stores.
I wanted to like sprint so much but roaming everywhere wasn't exactly worth an extra 10$ a month.
