Thanks everybody, some great advice..

Think I am going to buy a Provari and the vivi nova setup, do I need anything else? Feel like I am missing a piece some where, the vivi nova has the atty already right? So confused...lol

Should you decide to go with your instinct and get a Provari, may I recommend that you get only the Provari, an extension cap (if you want it) and extended warranty (if you want it), and get everything else from other vendors to save money and get higher quality options.

Get your charger from RTD Vapor; the Pila or the higher end xtar chargers are recommended. Provape recommends only using genuine AW brand nipple top IMR batteries for the Provari; RTD has those cheaper than anywhere else. They also have an excellent selection of drip tips which you will need at some point, so pick a couple out while you are there:

Here's a primer on the common juice delivery devices to put on your Provari:

I recommend getting a couple of types, to see which you might prefer. Everyone is different in their preferences, and only you will ultimately decide which YOU like best after giving them a try. I recommend getting a Vivi Nova tank, basically because is will work right out of the box being easy to fill with e-juice. Also a 5 pack of cartomizers (single coil 3.o ohm) to try the other type of wicking device different from the string wicked ones. Once you are settle in with vaping, consider trying a cartotank.

I've had a Provari for seven months and highly recommend it. It's worth the extra money because of its durability, consistancy, and the customer service from Provape. What sold me is the cheaper Chinese mods can't be repaired after their warranty ends, while Provape will continue to service the Provari even after your warranty expires. I use pyrex cartotanks on mine and love the vape for their flavor production.

This kit looks great too, lots of stuff, and cost effective.




Hey Tim - I've only been vaping for a couple of weeks but in that time I tried 510Ts, EGO C, EGO Twist and a ProVari Mini with a Vivi Nova. For me the ProVari Mini is the right choice. It feels sturdy, it gives all the information I need and the vapour production is awesome. I'm about to purchase a full sized one for times when longer battery life is important and because I want two ;)

I'm glad I tried the others though. I needed that comparison to appreciate the ProVari as much as I do. My hubby has tried all those others too, and my ProVari Mini but doesn't like the weight or the size. He uses the EGO Twist with a Vivi Nova.

Good luck with it!

ETS: I just noticed you are in Red Deer - I'm about 2 hours away near Edmonton. My favorite Canadian vendor is CanVape for prices, fast service and stock. Here's a link to a great starter kit with lots of variety and a great price:

Lucky you, getting a Povari right off the bat!
O analogs for me since 12/6/10 Previously, 45yr 1 & 1/2 ppd of stinkies.
Did not get a Provari until last May
Love it, but it took me a while to get used to
Thankful to have it the ego now, as the charger for my high drain batty just up & died
Do have a back up plan
