Reliable tank for a provari 2.5?

For me? The flavor output just seems 'flat" with the BVC compared to the BDC. Lower vapor production too. They weren't lasting as long either - seem to get crudded up and go unvapable faster with the cotton wick material.
It may have to do with the fact that the BVC is just that - coil - as in singular. A lot of people are under the misunderstanding that they have two coils like the original BDC - but they don't.
Anyhoo, these are the ones I'm playing with: $5.39 Replacement Coil Head for Nautilus BDC Tank Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Of note in the design is that the four feed holes are larger than in the original Aspire version. Enough of a difference that the liquid feed is better. Not having any flooding problems with that change though.
Since I was there for the first round, and I recall it CLEARLY, I shall be waiting for the return, with baited breaths. [emoji23]Thanks, Rick. I may have to give them a whirl again. It's been a few years since they've graced my tanks!
The wonderful thing is that there IS something for all of us. But dearest Katrina, please do not invest heavily here.
Remember, I was there. [emoji6]
It's already been mentioned, but I would also recommend a look at the CeroTank. I have one on my Pico right now and have to admit for an inexpensive tank using stock coils, it performs exceptionally well. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered it, yet it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Otherwise, you've read all the other usual suspects. Naulti and Kabuki are excellent choices.

Because everyone needs all that junk, right? AmIright?!? (Elbow Nudge) AmIright?!?I'd sell the ProVari and use the money to buy better mod/s with superior resistance ranges, (not to mention TCR, higher power, etc), and more modern atomizers that the ProVari can't handle. *hides from the ProVarinati*
It's absolutely still a great mod! I vape at 14 Watts/4.2 Volts on 1.2-1.8 ohm coils, and it's the perfect device for it! I have 2 2.5's and just bought a Radius and have no doubt that they will still be working like the day I bought them when everyone's 300watt overseas mass produced no warranty devices fall apart! Do yourself a favor and snap one or three up!
Hell! Right after I wrote the above post, I picked up another 2.5 Zombie Edition! You can't beat $49!
Wow! Thanks for all the info. Just picked up 2 2.5s...I already have about a dozen mods since I started but I need quality for the vapocalypse. Thanks.
Ha Ha. Ok, be assured that no heavy investments will be harmed in the pastable purchase. Much will depend on FT's ability to GIVE ME BACK MY $$$ for the damm ill-fitting KF tank things!
I'd be seriously thinking about investing in a couple provari rings so you can but a tank wider than a PT on it. The subtank mini among many other attys looks silly without the ring. With all the FDA goings on I can see vape gear becoming a commodity and turn into a sellers market so they might become harder to acquire once the chit has hit the fan.
For me this is the opposite. I despised the BVC for the same reasons you didn't like the BDC. Duals were fantastic.
Lexy, dudette - you got that backward. I like the BDC's - it's the BVC I... well despise is a strong word. But I sure didn't care for the "meh" BVC experience.
That's why I didn't care if they weren't authentic when I found BDC's at FT - you bet I was gonna try them. Coming up on a week - still on that first FT BDC coil.
Good to know, Rick..... still on the fence about getting more koils, but good to hear your experience of 'em.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I stand corrected- totally read your post wrong.
It seems we're in the BDC minority. The BVC's were all the rage & honestly, I couldn't understand why. I was often wondering what is it I'm missing cause that WOW was alluding me.
Just a quick update: I have moved on to the second BDC in that 5 pack. (I only get about 8-10 days out of one of these coils. Only use high VG liquids and even when thinned with water it still cruds coils pretty fast. That doesn't bug me like it does some people: A buck or two for an entire week of not smoking? Get over it.)
Anyway, the second BDC coil in the pack wasn't as easy as the first. There are complaints on FT about some of these coils being good, some are crap. (I could also say the same thing about the OEM Aspire coils too so...) I thought that was what I had with the second coil. Don't know why but it just too longer to break in and feed right than the first one and it's been working fine since.
Going back to order more.

A T18 tank is excellent on your provari, set the provari at 4.7 volts. I do not think you will be disappointed. B.K.
I know this has been a bit of a thead derail, but since it started here:
$5.39 Replacement Coil Head for Nautilus BDC Tank Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack - 1.8ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
In three weeks-ish I have gone through 3 coils in that 5 pack. That "problematic" one did turn out to be a problem child - one of the two coils in it popped at a week so it shot up to about 3.4 ohms. But the other two coils? They dry burned and cleaned great so I'm on the second pass with those two - something you will never do with the BVC's with cotton wick.
Other people might get longer run times, but with me doing 100 VG - about a week and I'm good with that.
Anyway, if you liked the original Nautilus BDC's these are definitely worth a shot.

It's my understanding that they use a ceramic fiber as did the Aspire originals. (It's sure not any silica as we know it.) When new it sorta looks like a folded slip of white paper.
