You will find during the first month or 2 that your sense of taste is all over the place, the only thing that got me through it was menthol, used it as an all day vape, and every now and again had a vape on something sweet that I liked, but not for too long as it lost it's flavour really quickly. Things will get better.

I just find anything higher tastes burnt to me. Doesn't give me a dry throat or anything like that, but the juice doesnt taste as nice, like I said though depends on juice, sometimes known to go up to 4.5 on a 2.6 ohm with tobaco or menthol juices.

Not sure about using superglue, I know no reasons why you shouldn't use, it maybe others do, if not give it a go... I made mine a reasonably tight fit around the threads so that it doesn't fall off when I remove the nova.

I just quickly made one of these as per your picture, it worked fine and made the Vivi Nova sit tightly. Although it was kind of an 'airy' vape You could hear the air as pulled on my vape Is that ok? Also how important if the hole in the Vivi Nova? I was thinking of making a plastic 'washer' type one tomorrow instead of the 'horse shoe' style, would that be ok? I'm afraid my best guess would be that the air hole is drilled to be the right width to only allow the perfect amount of air through already, so it should be fine. Yes it does feel like an airy vape, especially if you've just switched from using it without one, which was far too tight. The good thing is that you can draw on it slower and for longer each drag, and that makes the vapour much thicker and creamier, if you know what I mean. That's how I like it anyway, longer slower draws = nice thick vapour. As for a full washer, you may still find that it locks air tight, making it too hard to draw on it again, though I could be wrong.

Ive been meaning to ask you lobey, but not wanted to take anyones thread off topic, as this is your thread I dont suppose youll mind if I ask whats with the folding camper in your sig? Are you a camper? Yes Alvoram. This is our Pennine Pathfinder 6 berth folding camper. Nice folder mate, I'm a big camping fan, but we use tents. I love to be under canvas. Unfortunately having young kids these days means we stick to the bigger sites with all the mod cons, but we still enjoy it, I say we, of course the missus isn't the biggest fan, she'd much rather be on an all inclusive somewhere warm, but me and the kids love it.

I generally only vape at around 5 watts, but I tend to change according to which juice I am using. I also up the wattage when outdoors in the cold weather. Plus I up it when I'm having a drink

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes folks. I've had a great adult weekend at haven in Mablethorpe with bobd1628, and our significant others. Although I'm sorry to report that none of us were even allowed to vape outside near the entertainment complex, we had to go into designated smoking areas In the words of the security guard "don't worry, I know its not a real cigarette, but would you please go into the smoking area, otherwise I will get complaints off other guests." Of course we didnt really mind, especially as we'd chosen to vape outside, in the elements, and the smoking area was covered. Worth noting though folks. Anyway, thanks again for the birthday wishes, hopefully vaping means I can have a few more birthdays than I would have otherwise had

Not got a Provari, I love the LTv4, but to be honest, I imagine you're going to get what you pay for. I could be wrong, but I've not heard of many quality issues with the provari. If I could afford that kind of outlay on a PV, I'd definitely buy a Provari. But like I said, I'm very happy with the LTv4, not a single miss fire yet, and the power is far more than I'll ever use, I can take it well, well, well past my comfortable vaping spot/sweet spot, with everything I've ever put on it, so why I'd want more power I don't know. There is also the ease of use to consider, the Provari doesn't require a degree in electronics to use, but it is definitely a lot easier to do things like change voltage, check battery life, and check (rough) carto resistance on the LTv4 than it is on the Provari. TBH my opinion is this, for some reason, I would like to get a provari, but I can't honestly justify it, I cant think of any reason why the provari would be £120 better than the L-rider version of the LTv4, which I believe is supposed to have improved quality, more stable voltage, plus an increased maximum current. But if anyone could give definitive reasons why it is worth 4 times the price, I would be grateful, as I could then justify myself purchasing one, lol

I drilled a few carto size holes in a block of wood, and labelled the holes on the wood. Then I had a nice stand for my cartos, and could easily identify them. others have gone further and drilled holes big enough for their PVs to stand in too, a nice tidy organizer.

I like it, no I love it. would be better with a proper LT button, and I'm not sure what is going off near the top, a normal lavatube 4.0 ego cap on top would look better, but apart from that, it is great.

I agree too, I couldn't go back to vaping a none variable device. I change power on my LT that often that it's hard to see how I ever got on without it (although that feels like a long time ago now.)
