A recording studio without apple is like a cigarette without smoke. Eh? Hold on a minute!

Feeling your pain goofy, no more Kool Pear for me  I can't help on the pineapple but just thought I'd add my sadness. Edit: Do you think we could get someone to sneak into Eve's gaff and nick her recipe book?  |

Hi Petermac
The ceramic housing on my Euforia fits every Penelope part I've tried it with apart from the Penny mouthpiece.
It is pretty much exactly the same as the penny apart from the wider/looser mouthpiece which means the juice control is more sensitive (you'd need to open it about half the amount than you normally would on a penny).
I'm still on the same wick as having a choice means I haven't used it quite as much as expected. Mainly because it still has the funky taste at the moment so I think I need to break it down and boil it.
Taste wise though it really is as good as the genuine article.

Hi Mev
Mine also turned up today all safe and sound.
Darth, I've managed .20 Kanthal to .20mm 99 Silver but found it better to hold the Silver in the standy-up clip and move the Kanthal to connect to the Silver. Also around 4 seconds was the warm up time not the 5 I've seen mentioned earlier. Much more than that and the silver does seem to vapourise!
Thanks again Mev!

I'll have to agree with Blakey, the performance is rock solid, and the build quality is second to none. Some of the cheaper mods will work well but I'll bet my Provari will still be going strong long after my robust and egos become land fill.
The only other ones that I reckon will last as long are some of the mechanical mods, (a Cube for example) but bear in mind that they have no electronics.

I have a dual USB surge protected socket that I picked up from Sainsbury for £7.50 that I fully recommend. It's a Masterplug one and will charge iPads iPods iPhones Rivas Egos you name it, and still has a free 3 pin socket on the front. Attachments:

It has a lightly brushed finish like the nautilus.
The tanks are interchangeable so you could always purchase a GG tank?
I have a spare one and also a clear tank (although not the Kir Fanis one).

Ok, so a bit more in depth. Interchangeable bits. Well I found almost all bits were interchangeable with the Penelope. The only bit that wasn't 100% was the mouthpiece, it fits the penny but the penny's mouthpiece is too tight to fit on the Euforia  Taste test I washed the Chenelope in denture tablets for around 20 mins, burnt the ceramic over the gas hob, reassembled with a 2.0 ohm coil and a Blakey triple wick and it's good. Very good. The only problem is that it still has a machine oil/rubbery taste so I would recommend a full night's rinse before use. I can't wait till that goes as it tastes great already. The wider fitting mouthpiece also means that you don't need to turn it so much to open it up. Careful not to leave it open too much or it'll gurgle. Would I say it's the same as a Penelope? Due to the mouthpiece it's slightly different, but not too much to dissuade me. I actually think it looks better on a Provari than the Penny. Does it deliver flavour the same way? Hell yeah! Would I recommend it? So far, definitely  Edited for typos |

Just popped back in to the office and it's here  First impressions are very good, build quality seems sturdy like the nautilus. There is something going on with the base that doesn't feel right (a bit of a grinding feel as I tighten it up against the ceramic holder, although I think is just the loose nut at the bottom and with no wick/coil has nothing to tighten up against, I'm hoping just a tighten will resolve this. I'll do a parts swap with a Penelope and get it fired up when I get home, in the mean time, here's a sneak preview.  |
