LOL no more spending on vaping as ive been told by the missus that we need to save for the xmas trip to Aussieland lol.

Only other thing i want to get is the Rose atty but that wont be till early next year as it is.

That is a thing of beauty Yas, very very nice.
Dont have a mech mod myself yet, but the main thing is the looks, and as it has no circuitry, you can wrap sub oHm coils like 0.8ohms which some Vapers prefer.
Dont forget as the battery gets weaker, so will the 'Vape' so dont let the battery go too low.
IIrc no lower than 3.2v

Noted mate, i usually charge my batteries soon as my provari starts to blink anyhow but with the mech mod, i dont have that luxury anymore so its will be a case of figuring out when to charge the batteries.

May need to invest in a multimeter i think.

To me that looks like a Protank mini, which is a bcc (bottom coil clearomiser)

Looks like my Protank Mini 2. They're good, but EVODs are still my go-to atties. Never had any gurgling through the mouth piece, but some leaks though to the battery terminal if I mess up the wick
 
Your Provari has a built in Ohm-meter - so use it when you start putting the coiling kit to good use.

www.alba-vapours.co.uk have the new Sigelei Legend in stock - both mod on it's own and full kit with DBox Puritank, 18350 & 650 batteries and a charger.
Anyone after a decent VV/VW device should seriously consider it - I had the use of one over the weekend and it was faultless - haptic feedback on a mod was strange but very handy. Build quality is absolutely stunning for a mass production device.

Second try at an auto dripper. First was a micro coil but it was really tiny and it wasn't wicking as well as it could. This one is much better.

Unexpected bonus with these is they seem to pretty much refuse to leak. Doesn't seem to be able to make its way past the cotton wick, which is ace.
 
If you smoke 2ml of liquid a day for example...

How often do you need to change the coils?

Also how long does a battery last before it is unusable?
 
Nicotine content in e-liquid is measured differently to that of cigarettes; it's very difficult to make a direct comparison. You should simply be thankful that's he's trying to quit the fags.

How long is a piece of string? :D

How often you change coils is a personal taste thing. You'll notice a drop off in flavour and vapour production, when you change depends on how much you value those two really. Thicker and more colourful liquids tend to gunk up coils faster (this is by no means a scientific rule). On my setup, with cotton wick and a ~1.8ohm home rolled coil, I tend to rewire/wick every 4 or 5 days. I have gone as far as a week tbh, and on silica (I.E. what most shop bought atties use) 2 weeks isn't all that uncommon.

As for batteries, again it depends. The 650mah batteries I got for a small fortune from TotallyWicked lasted ages, over a year in serviceable life tbh, whereas a couple of my FastTech 1100mah cheapie batteries lasted a few months. They only got binned because of manufacturing crapness, like the threads being rubbish and the battery connector coming away from the tube more than the actual battery.

Thanks... Looks pretty cheap then, now I have got the basic stuff... Maybe a new coil every week at £1.20, new battery every few months at £10 and prob 15ml e-liquid a week at about £4.... So that's about £5 a week. Nothing really compared to smoking and cheaper than nicotine gums.... Shame this will probably be banned in a few years due to the government getting upset about loss of tax revenue from smoking probably. Is it worth making my own juice and rewicking?

Sounds like someone trying not to think about the nicotine content of their vape.

Seriously though.. Who cares? If he likes nicotine then its Better than smoking....Also the amount of nicotine absorbed from different methods is not really connected to the amount advertised... For example a 1.5mg cigarette actually has about 15mg of nicotine in it per cigarette.... You only absorb 1.5mg....

Similar to ecig... You only absorb around 50% of the amount of nicotine... So 20 pack of cigarettes you are absorbing at least 20mg actual nicotine + the other stuff in it.... if you vape 40mg of nicotine e-juice you prob only absorb about same as a 20 pack of cigarettes + it does not have all the other ***** in it..

What I would like to see is some "full alkaloid e-juice" Where they extract the other things in tobacco such as the MAOI that you get in cigarettes.... Then you would get exactly the same buzz as cigarettes but with none of the bad effects, maybe we will see this in the future, if the government does not ban it first ffs.

If cost is your thing then... YES! I did a very rough guestimation that rewicking using a small lenght silica wick and kanthal wire to rebuild a CE5 costs about 8p per head. Now I'm using cotton wool, which the misses uses any way ;)

I don't mix my own liquid, it's something I keep meaning to get into, but that is a whole other level of cost saving too! If you get into mods like the Vamo or mechanicals then you are using very cheap 18650 and 18350 batteries too, which are replaceable. Do not cheap out on your batteries though. Seriously.
 
What about the best liquids and flavours?

I ordered some "Dekang silver label"... is this stuff good?

Are there any better brands / flavours? Where do you buy them from?

Guys, I posted a few days ago about a parcel with my provari in being stolen, I have a question.

Should the company who sent it really be refunding me or sending a new package straight away? They will be receiving compensenation from RM but in the mean time I'm out £200 with nothing to show for it.

Their contract with you was to supply you with your product, which they haven't done. Their problem with RM is just that - their problem
