For me safety is my number one concern..the thought of my juice slowly reacting with a poly tank causing it to melt and eventually crack is not something I want to put into my lungs....glass may cost more but it's safety is worth it, least it is to me.

    Actually I wiped out on the ice and the ProVari took a very nasty fall on the concrete.

    Some really deep gouges and a chip broken off the side of the button.

    Still Vapes like brand new :)

    I'd send a sample in for testing. Looks and scratches like Aluminum. Would account for the lightness.





    :) Glad you're OK and Merry Christmas

    I do hear what you are writing, but I am not smart enough to know whether or not if that is a legit concern or not? I dunno? I guess the first question is if you even vape any juices that can crack poly tanks? Then if concerned do not use them in any poly tanks, or, find someone who knows if that concern is legit or not?

    No Peter I've never had a plastic tank melt on me because I was aware of the potential problem years ago..

    This screenshot from Cloud9 talks a little about it... research it yourself for more info if you like..

    Sorry to see those scratches,,wait, I thought titanium was very hard to scratch, if not impossible..glad you didn't get hurt..

    I think Willy went down on top of it, greatly increasing the force applied.

    Mine have gone down on their own with no damage.

    I thought certain juices would crack poly tanks..that's why I never have used them in the past..

    What about steel? $15 and will last forever.

    @WillyZee we call that "reliced". Some people pay more for worn looking stuff like guitars and clothes. Why not mods?;)

    Glad UR ok. Better a Provari being damaged than your noggin, hip, elbow, etc. My wife dropped her zombie P3 three times today alone. They are definately rugged buggers!

    My head sorta hurts too. I wear a titanium bracelet that is bout 10-13yrs old now, never polished or scratched, we got it for that reason? I'm just a dumb retired truck driver so what do I know...

    the ProVari definitely hit the concrete very hard ... I do believe the ProVari broke my fall and likely saved my life ... again :smokie:

    Oh, how comes it doesn't just show up as a pict? It does on my device...
    Your using the wrong app to post your pics. You could install the Tapatalk app, and follow all your forums on one page, including this one

    Makes posting a pic or document or videos super easy..and nobody has to download to view it, like the one i just posted above..just a thought

    I use the Puffin browser on an Android tab half the day. Never heard anyone say anything about picts not showing up. Perhaps it is what you are using. Yep, it's you :)

    This is a screenshot of your pic as it looks on my Turbo2...you see the data size required to download for viewing?..True I have to touch it to download and waste data, but your pic then goes to my download file and I have to waste more data to delete it..So I don't view pics I have to download... including yours, sorry

    Ok. So there is a way that I can post a picture that makes it easy for you Data using people, or is this a common and accepted way of things?
