    This bites - lost my ProVari

    When I picked it up, the clerk told me they'd speculated about what it was used for. "Personal gratification" was the most popular contender. LOL. Well, it is, kind of.....

    sale end date?

    When I ordered mine the original finish was $159, the other finishes were $179. I looked for a discount code and didn't find one. The "buy a second ProVari" sale ended already.

    AW P18650 -29 VS AW IMR on a provari

    4.0 ohm at 4.8 volts is only pulling 5.76 watts/1.2 amps. You should be fine there, until the battery starts to get low. It may shut itself off a little faster than it would with the recommended battery. Ah, but I see below this message that you changed your mind and will be using the...

    And I'll have something similar to it shortly. Probably after the weekend....

    How long should my AW Batteries last?

    Yeah, maintenance is important - and it could be your charger, too. Check the battery voltage when they're fresh off the charger. It should be 4.2 volts.

    This bites - lost my ProVari

    And now that I have a replacement ProVari on the way (shipped and in the mail already) I got a call from the store, telling me they found it under a counter, in a section of the store I was never in. So someone picked it up, played with it a bit, and stashed it or just dropped it and it rolled...

    I want a Variable Voltage set-up

    My 5ml MAP tank sits flush on my ProVari, and they're almost identical in diameter, but it doesn't qualify on the "not too expensive" requirement unless you compare the cost to cigarettes. For me, it's about two weeks worth of smokes, and worth the price, which makes it not too expensive. YMMV.

    Is anyone getting a false "low battery" flashing led?

    'specially seeing as how they add zinc to it, just to make it conductive. ;) If it's smearing all over the place, you're using way too much of it. I put a small dab (smaller around than a pencil eraser) on my finger and smear it into the grooves of the ProVari unit. None at all on the end cap...

    AW P18650 -29 VS AW IMR on a provari

    If you keep your total power draw down, then yes, you can use those. If you start to push it (like using dual coil cartos), then you'll get auto shut-offs when the ProVari detects it can't pull power fast enough from the battery.

    Provari pre-order # ***please post when yours ships so we can keep track***

    I just got this e-mail: Your order has shipped. (Order#: 7767 placed on 07/10/2011) They couldn't very well ship it on a Sunday (being off work and all), so I guess shipping the second business day will have to do. Heh. Good job, ProVape.

    Provari pre-order # ***please post when yours ships so we can keep track***

    Order 7767, placed yesterday, confirmed today, no shipping notice sent yet. We'll see what the delay is. I ordered the original finish (I prefer it, and it was $20 cheaper).

    This bites - lost my ProVari

    They've got the original finish selling for $159 - $60 off the MSRP. And I am getting a lanyard, even if I have to make one myself.

    This bites - lost my ProVari

    So I'm shopping today, picking up a few things, and I've got my ProVari with me. As I leave the store, I realize I no longer have my ProVari with me. I put my stuff in the car, went back into the store, checked at the Customer Service desk, they haven't seen it. I walk back all around the store...

    Pretty excited - just placed my first order - looking for feedback

    If you're looking for a sweet candy green apple, I think you'll be more than happy with the Green Apple Lollipop. I ordered a bottle of it a while ago and it faithfully reproduces that flavor.

    Provari Juice Feed????

    I don't drip - I don't want to drip, I think it's a huge PITA. That said.... I'd like to see a juice feed system that uses an atomizer and drips directly onto the coil. I've tried the MAP tanks, and they can dry wick unless you have that fiddly little cap sitting just right. Right now I'm...

    Second hand vape in public

    I would say you need to get better juice. My sister and I chain vaped in my car during a 6 hour drive. When my (lifelong nonsmoking) mother got in the car, she told us it smelled wonderful - like a bakery. I'd been switching between Blueberry Pie and Bavarian Cream, while my sister was vaping...

    Any Diabetics out there?

    I've had the HoneyBubbleTropiGumSugarMangoUpsideDownCake, but haven't tried the pie. Is it really good? Who sells it?

    Is anyone getting a false "low battery" flashing led?

    So are the new springs available for sale on the site? I looked and didn't see them, but no one ever accused me of being perfect, so I might have missed them. I'm not necessarily worried about battery life, but I did lose a spring out of one of my endcaps. Not a huge burden, since I have three...

    How long should the 18650 batteries last?

    I've been using mine since I got my first ProVari in late December, and I've noticed no life span issues. I still go about 24 hours between battery changing. Although I started out with three of them and moved up to 6 of them. I have them all labeled 1-6 and rotate through, so they each get the...
