Just having a play with some protank microcoils and dropped the first built one on the mvp2 to check ohms.
 Read at one ohm so fired it without thinking and it lit up the coil.
its now (after a few dry burns) reading the coil at 0.8ohms and still firing.
 Anyone know how low it'll go?

As per title really, due to impending hgv medical and daughters birthday I am forced to sell off a few items.

 First up a GP Paps 2.5 serial no 1976 with spare tube to take an 18650 and kick.

Paps now sold spare tube still available if anyone needs it

next up is an itaste svd boxed with instructions and both tubes


would like £35 posted.

finally a Smok Zmax mini-NOW SOLD


SOLD

Just to repeat if the price seems a bit high on anything you fancy then make me an offer
 thanks for looking
 cheers Richie 

Second the hobbyking recommendation, they also do some decent small tools etc been buying from them for a few years now and they now have a uk warehouse so no customs issues and quicker delivery than hk  
cheers richie


 ps rc stuff are not toys they are miniature engineering marvels lol
(2 450 helis 5 planes and 3 cars;) )

They do one with all the tubes here www.vapegeek.co.uk/Hcigar-Caravela-87.htm
 got one myself and pretty impressed -has adjustable pin also
 cheers Richie 

Looks a lot better than most I have seen- display all lined up etc etc- how big is it actually?
Appears massive in the hand from the pic but always possible that you have the kind of sensible sized hands that make recoiling possible
My hand span is about 10in/250mm so curious as to fit size lol.

So after 24 hrs I can report that the quality of the mod is pretty good .
Obviously all the metalwork is mirror shiny and the laser etch does the boat,the caravela name,the button engraved and the signature obverse to the caravela logo
Switch is very smooth in operation even with an off centre push.
Locking ring is anti clock threaded and is spot on with no perceivable slackness in the threads.
Same apples to the tube threads.
Centre pin in head looks to be silver plated and is adjustable- the threading here is so smooth that it can be wound in or out by using a fingernail it really is silky.
Not tried it with a kick yet or any fluke meter ohms volts or amp tests but 'seat of the pants' vaping on a mixture of batt sizes using a protank 2 (only as I had a variety of pre wound coils to try in different resistances) seems pretty impressive.
All in all pretty happy for the bang per quid ratio.
Cost me £35 plus the old p+p from vapegeek with next day delivery.
Only downside is having to sell my paps 2.5 to cover it and buy another for myself as my daughter has seen it and decided she needs it more than me and that she will at least polish it- oh and can she please have 2 batts for each size of tube
So cost analysis expensive when you have to buy 2 and 6 batts but in my opinion worth it(if only to keep my daughter off the stinkies)
So in all a worthwhile mod as long as you don't have a 20 yr old daughter with a magpie eye lol
Cheers Richie
Ps will give it a few days of hanging around in the air to oxidise a bit then do a few ohms,volts and amp tests on it to see if the numbers back up its 'feel'

Mine also arrived today however I was concerned to find that my bubble wrap had no serial number.
Was this an oversight by yourself or have others had the same issue?
Will the serial be perhaps available as a retrofit option?
Oh and thanks
Cheers Richie
