    provari carto question

    I use SR 3.0 single coil carto's in my tank, and I *think* I can get those pretty close to 6V.. I usually keep it around 4.9V though.. so if the effective resistance is actually 3 ohms (two 6 ohm coils in parallel) then you should see the same, pretty close to 6V.

    Initial fill on tank carto

    I usually put about 10-11 drops in the carto, then fill the tank (I only fill the tank about 1/3 of the way, a full tank usually floods, in my experience), then let it sit for ~10-15 minutes to soak in.. The only time i had a burnt carto, I didn't let it sit..I started using it right away. I was...

    Purchasing all the right gear

    You're over-reading.. I haven't checked my battery voltage in months.. When the provari blinks at me, I put it on the charger and put a fresh one in. I keep my 6ml tank + 3ohm cartomizer on the thing for weeks at a time.. I check the cartomizer resistance once, when I put it on.. (hard to tell...

    ProVari v Mini, owners perspective.

    Are you guys talking 1600mah or 2000mah for the 18650?

    Used Darwin

    Thanks tearose! I haven't seen either in person, so I'll take your word for it.. Can you get a "regular" screen that has the lockable arm? Were they "revised" at the same time? I do think a lockable arm is important, especially if I use a tank, etc..

    It was wonderful...just wonderful

    Wow, nice to know.. I imagine this varies from hospital to hospital, but I'm glad you were comfortable while being laid up! :) Any negative reactions?

    wow... a provari copy made by smoktech?

    In a non-regulatory environment (under which PV's / juice currently fall), manufacturing and QC standards are set by the manufacturer. If they don't want to test any batches, they don't have to. Just because it's American made doesn't mean it's any better quality than something manufactured in...

    Used Darwin

    Good to hear! I love my Provari, but it's unwieldy.. Looking for something as nice, but more "packable" in luggage, bags, etc.. and charging / swapping batteries gets old. Do you use a tank system at all? I'm getting the impression the best bet for having a fair amount of juice is a drip shield...

    Used Darwin

    Thanks! Already on the wait list.. A couple weeks huh? Hadn't heard that.. very good news. We'll see which comes first, the blue/green LED provari's or the new Darwin.. Guess it doesn't matter, I'll probably buy both anyway.. ;)

    Used Darwin

    I'm looking to buy one, and I've got a "WTB" thread in the classifieds, but I was just curious.. for those who bough theirs used, anything to look out for? I know I'd prefer a new one (locking arm / blue LCD), but anything else I would want to check on? It should come with USB cable, right...

    How much to pay for a used Provari?

    I don't understand it either, but some people just like to get "a deal" and not pay full price. Nothing wrong with that, just different priorities.

    My 5 month old Provari is dying!!!!!

    I think contacting customer service would be prudent in this case.

    wow... a provari copy made by smoktech?

    Ditto.. If I'm going to spend $100+ on the mod, I'll take the rock-solid US-made original for the extra ~$50, thankyouvermuch. I'm surprised at this mod though.. There's already well defined market segments here. Those looking for VV on the cheap (Lavatube, etc..), and those willing to spend...

    So.. Question about the Mini, Black Satin finish, and Blue LED..

    The mini is definitely getting new colors, no ETA though.. not sure about mini + blue LCD.. I'm ready to order, just waiting for black satin + blue LCD on either mini / standard.

    Welcome me to the club!!!

    rawrvapor.com.. I went through so many places to find some good juices, and I ended up with Rawr and haven't looked back. Give 'em a try!

    When will I know my carto is done?

    I always use the tank cartos, and I've never actually had one die on me.. When the draw gets too tight (you're putting to much effort into it to get the vapor out) I just replace it. I use 70PG/30VG to try and avoid the carto getting clogged, but it eventually happens.. usually about 3-4 weeks...

    Hate the Provari

    I hate that I can't order my 2nd one in black satin with blue LCD right now.. Hate it!! :)

    Blue vs. Red LED

    Thanks Zotsey.. end of April, hmm.. tough call.. order now or wait.. don't *need* the cool colors, but I'm tired of the stupid 510 ego style batteries at work, since I leave the provari at home.. Starting a new job on April 30, was hoping to start it off with a new Provari. Maybe I'll just go...
