But I am getting big bottles of Snickerdoodle and Lemonade Stand and even RY4 to use in my Aspire BVC's.

Speaking of bvc's,
i dismantled the one i drilled out the wicking holes in tonight and it was about on par with one used for a week at lower voltage/higher airflow. so my issue was most definitely the whole slow wicking with too much air thing.

i've got a new non drilled one steeping to use on the pro mini for out and about and got in another kayfun lite clone and cleaned it,drilled it, and am gonna set it up with a bit higher resistance coil to use on the istick untill the dna40 stuff gets sorted out and /or i sell it :)

ooh, ooh!!!
i also figured out the issue with my nemesis' switch and have been wearing it and the magma out as of late.
the delrin ring in the bottom of the switch was cross threaded and sort of ...squished? from the factory so the throw on it was ridiculously long and fairly crunchy. i unthreaded the delrin,cleaned it up,flattened it out with a file and reinstalled it and got the switch adjusted to where it's just a tiny little push and it fires.the speed at which that setup produces almost too much vapor is just ridiculous - i can see how people get accustomed to it.

Before I decide to get interested in bottom feeders (too late for that, methinks), are silicone or polypropylene feeder bottles available? They're pretty much the only plastics I really trust to handle or hold anything that I'm going to ingest, especially in this application. (Assuming I were to trust them even them for this, but I think I would.) If they're not currently used, anyone know of any reasons why they would or wouldn't work fine?

i know they make silicone bottles in smaller sizes but, i couldn't even guess as to the dimensions needed. i would think that info would be around on some of the reo threads. if i run across anything, i'll be sure to post it.

Glad you got that sorted too. It is amazing how quickly mechanical mods heat the coils (at least in the couple I've tried. My simple $69 Workhorse gets that P-38 throwing some vapor before I can count to 3. I wonder if that's one of the things that allures folks to the mech end of things?.

i'm sure that's part of it, robin. between the speed,ease of maintenance and the whole "get-me-through-the-impending-vapepocolypse" thing, not to mention the aesthetic aspects, it's pretty easy to see why some people would be drawn to it.
how's that workhorse workin' for ya? what atomizer are you running on it these days?

The Workhorse is just that: a workhorse. I went ahead and sprung (hahaha) for the stiffer spring as I didn't want any misfires. It's pretty stiff and sometimes I have to concentrate on how I push it in order to make connection but I don't worry about misfires in my pocket (which is otherwise empty). I really, really like the size too. Tis nearly an inch shorter than my Minis which feels better with the KFL. I always run the KFL plus on it. I'm sold on those guys. Since I use mostly PG (Menthol P-38 which is light color) my maintanence isn't much. Once a week I pop in a fresh cotton wick and I'm good to go.

Am not opposed to regulated at all. My minis get lots of love mostly around the house lately. Really like the speed factor (maintenance and apocalyptic fear are non-issues for me). Wonder if the Vapor Flask (after the bugs) or the P3 will be comparable in the speed dept.?

Don't know about the Provari, but the Flask 40 might be pretty in the speed department, since the Evolv 40 boards implement a feature that hits the atty with higher power for a few fractions of a sec when you first press the fire button, then dials the power down to the maintenance level. (If one can call any level of power on the 40 a maintenance level, that is.)

i know they both have programmable functions that should help with faster ramp up times using a higher initial voltage for so long and then flattening back out(i think provape is calling it hotshot or something? and evolv is calling it preheat) but i have yet to see any sort of definitive speed comparisons on either one.
i'm guessing the voltage regulation method is what would make the difference in this scenario? i dunno - i've not really been interested in the speed aspect of it until here recently.i'd love to see some comparison testing though.

Yeah, this speed thing is curious. I had just accepted that getting a Vape hit took long. Never thought about it much until I got a couple mechanicals. Much more like smoking. Easier during a conversation, driving (shifting and turning). Now of course, I NEED fast! Isn't that the way of it?.

I certainly have some high class problems these days....

ruts and first world problems all around!!!
whoopeeeee!!!!

:)

seriously though, me too - it was just part of the experience i hadn't even really thought about but now,the slow vaping during a conversation thing has gotten to be obnoxious and fairly obvious.
one thing i have noticed since is that the increased resistance of the coil to deal with the increased wattage on the kfl/istick combo has cancelled out any shortening of my draw time compared to the lower resistance/lower voltage setups on the provari (it may have even increased it a bit).i think either way you go, you end up with a bottleneck with the kfl's airflow.it seems like if you stray too far outside of any one of the parameters by itself and it's a fast train to burnt juice city.

*shakes fist* "MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
