I'll probably get kicked for admitting I'm not much of a Dylan fan, but I'd give my eyeteeth to see Mark Knopfler play the guitar. What really impresses me, is that there were kids there.

Knopfler played a much better show. I like Dylan's old stuff (North Country Blues currently my all time favorite of his) but he was killing his own good songs at that concert.

I was pretty much begging they play some Dire Straights but no luck. He was the opener and figure he didn't want to upstage Dylan (cause D.S. would've just killed it).

But now, now I'm stuck on Waits haha

Yeah, that guy is an amazing guitarist! Yeah, that doesn't exactly seem like "kids" music...

 

[Thompson]

Oh, and it was R.L. Burnside, thats the one haha. Damned memory.

They weren't really kids, I suppose, wrong word choice. Probably my age or younger (I'm 24).

They would not shut up during the whole concert. The Waits comment stuck with me because I thought it was a bit funny, but the rest of the time it was loud jibberish.

Was stealth vaping in the Hollywood Bowl though! Forgot about that. Take that for $16 beers and over priced popcorn hahaha

Think I heard them mention my using the eGo but didn't mind it. They messed up my experience, I figure the minor amount of nuisance that an eGo is doesn't carry as much weight.

Hey buddies! Sorry, haven't been very talkative lately. Ever get in one of those places where you have nothing to say, or if you do, you just don't feel like talking? I've been listening to all of you though.

Let's see...

Loving Blue Fairy, JG Blend, Deal Maker, and a bunch of other new additions escaping me now. Edit: And Maple House Blend!

Hating that my Provari just broke about 20 minutes ago. I went to change the battery and the positive battery post pin fell right out of the tube. It's what, a week old? Seriously? If they try to charge me for anything... oh boy.

Good to have you verbal again, Ax! Sorry about your Provari...Man, what is it with them lately?? Are they having production issues, or what?

I just received a Vamo from a co-op for $37. It takes a 18350 in mini-mode and an 18650 in full. Very nice build quality for the price. I got the gunmetal finish. There's an open co-op in the interest forum for the Vamo. It is offered in chrome, gunmetal (black chrome), and stainless steel. Very nice APV backup at a disposable price. Sorry for your ProV misfortune.

Plus, the Vamo is VV and VW -- I've been curious about these as well. I probably won't buy one because I'm up to my eyeballs in mods, but it seems like a good one to recommend to people who want a well-performing versatile device with a lower price tag.

I'm watching the youtube review of it. For the money, that sucker is SWEEEET!! I wish Provape was publicly traded, because I'd short the daylights out of that stock! Evolv too! Mini mode 18350, maxi 18650, VV, VW, deep juicewell... Wow. This is definitely a game changer. It may not be built as solid as the ProV, but since you can get FIVE of them vs. a single ProV with extra endcap? NO brainer. It's the same price as a kick all by itself! THANKS!

This thing is awesome. I haven't touched my Provari since it arrived the other day. Plus Health Cabin has ECF coupon codes. I believe it is ecf05 for under $100 and ecf08 for over $100. They are a registered forum supplier with pretty good customer service. Better service than Provari apparently! A part was missing on one of my PVs and they shipped it right out. Took 4 weeks to arrive...lol...but they shipped it. I buy a lot of stuff from them. They carry the ego embossed batteries for $13. Plus their drip tips are $1.50. You can get some really good deals from them. Their prices are so good I can always find enough stuff to justify the $16 shipping. Or if I'm just buying a few things I'm not in a hurry for I'll use the cheaper shipping and wait 4 weeks.

I think you'll be surprised at just how nice this thing is. Even my husband was impressed with how it looks. I've got an 18650 battery in it since I had bought a spare set for the Provari from Ahlusion. I'd like to say that if I'd bought this first I never would have spent the money on a Provari but I bet I still would have anyway just to check it out. Plus it is pink...

With the smaller battery this would be great for stealth vaping. There are no lights unless the battery is getting low. Then it starts to flash. The LCD is really easy to read. It just looks cool. Also, Health Cabin is selling Rev 2 which has a better spring in the bottom and has the chrome button. The first spring didn't work with some batteries and there was some problems with the first button.

Mad Vapes sells one that looks just like it but it doesn't have the VW. Only VV.

A couple months ago I was arguing with another vendor because I paid $90 for a chrome VV PV and the chrome was peeling off the button when it arrived and I wanted a replacement. I called them and they told me that they don't give guarantees or give replacements. Finally after a lot of emails I got them to agree to exchange it after i said I was going to post the pictures i had sent him to the forums. I sent the bad one back but they refunded my money. The owner told me that he didn't think I would ever be happy since this was always going to happen to buttons so he was washing his hands of it. I was really surprised at the lack of service since it was a reputable vendor that I had even done business with before. He even deleted my review mentioning the peeling chrome. I'm happy to say that my $39 chrome APV is in perfect condition with no signs of peeling!

Tez, you've got to try one out. You're the one that was saying VW was the future so when I saw this I ordered one immediately so I could check it out! Thank you for your post. If you hadn't mentioned it I probably would have overlooked it.

I also picked up a plain black Lavatube for $31. I like it, too. But the other one looks better and hits harder. I'm thinking about grabbing another in the black chrome. I saw a couple of black chrome drip tips today that would match it perfectly.

Ok. I think I've done enough rambling. I'm sure you guys have figured out by now how much I like the Vamo (this is the name they use for it in the US). Either that or its the drugs. Plus I received 2 new handmade drip tips today! They are so gorgeous. If anyone is still reading this and likes handmade acrylic drip tips check out Molehill Mountain Drip Tips. They are a forum supplier and I'm always custom ordering tips from them. Kayte and Doug are good people. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modder-accessories-supplier-forum/336795-molehill-mountain-drip-tips.html

AX!!!! Geeez, I used the magic word! I said Mark Knopfler and sure enough, a magnificent Ax shows up!

Obviously a man with a discerning palate...

Hating that my Provari just broke about 20 minutes ago. I went to change the battery and the positive battery post pin fell right out of the tube. It's what, a week old? Seriously? If they try to charge me for anything... oh boy.

Oh boy. Have you been reading?? Mine broke within 48 hours of receipt. Ya know, I wasn't going to do it, but just for you, I'll post my response to their request for 7 bucks to send me a replacement screw for the LED window. Just so when they ask you to send them some money, you can just cut and paste your name into it. I got mine on Cyber Monday, and after receiving their response to my Wednesday request that they send me a replacement screw so I could fix it myself, I kind of lost it.

Wait, WHAT?

Not to be rude Jennifer, but are you seriously telling me that my $200 flashlight battery, which is falling apart at 3 days old, is not covered under some kind of implicit or implied understanding or warranty, that it will function properly and maintain it's mechanical integrity for a modicum of time? That you'll further gouge me for $7 for a screw that by all rights should still BE THERE? Did I really have to read the fine print for such an expensive device? Typically, when I drastically overpay for something, I can expect that the price includes reasonable customer service. That's my understanding of how things work. Well, shame on me. Obviously I've been duped. I'm going to give you an opportunity to rethink your position on this, before I tell my friends what I think of the venerated Provari, and then go up to the jewelry store and have them fix this POS. Take your time.

MAKE SURE you tell them the EXACT date you bought it, and from where, especially if you got it direct. They're not quite clever enough to look at the order number or just too lazy to check for themselves.

Oh yeah, insured priority mail with signature confirmation is going to run you an additional $12. Look at the bright side, you've gotten quite a bit of use from it...

Another empty 60 ml bottle of Smooth Criminal makes me sad

You rule, Mo. I also got mine on Cyber Monday, and didn't even open it until last week. Makes you wonder...

Hey Ax, good to see you! Yep, I'm sure we've all been there but we missed you

That sucks about your Provari! I sure hope they treat you right.

 

[skydragon]

I got them! I got them.

Can any of these be tried right away. Actually, I know they can be, but should they?


Vecchio Blend
Caramel Pear Black Tea
Smooth Criminal
Pineapple USD Cake
Apple House Blend

 

[skydragon]

I'm wondering if there is anywhere in the thread where the flavors sold are matched up with the acronym's that are used. Most of the time I don't know what is being spoken of. lol

 

[Thompson]

All I know so far is BGB (blue grass burley) and DD (devil dog)

But I'm dirty into the tobacco flavors so

 

[Moueix]

How did I miss this post?!? I guess I was just fuming over Ax's Provari. Thanks for the review B5! I was definitely going to order some of these, but after reading your review, I am DEFINITELY going to order some of these!

4.1 is what it should read right off the charger. That's fully charged for a 3.7 volt battery.

So why is it only lasting 2 hours???? Frustrated!!

 

[lauragal]

Ahlusion eLiquid.

Tez, thanks for the heads up about the classies! I sent a PM for a great price on DD, BGB and HB. Maybe Lauragal and I could trade something for the House Blend, if she goes that high on nic(?). The funny thing is that I have DD and don't need HB, but I essentially will just be paying for BGB, so the price was right! Hopefully I get them, but the opportunity was great in-an-of-itself.

Boy, do I miss having BGB!

What's the nic level? I don't go higher than 18 - I'm trying to get back down to 12 but when I try my 12 it's just not enough.

 

[lauragal]

I am probably going to hop on the baby grapevine vaping train here this evening sometime! LOL Although the Bananas Foster AND Peppermint Mocha smell DEVINE! Making it very hard to leave them alone. Anyone enjoy those as babies? (I'm SORRY Eleanor...I have to ask!!)

Peppermint Mocha with no steep - awesome - with some steep - awesome-er!!!

 

[Tezcatlipoca]

My pleasure! VW has made vaping a much more enjoyable experience for me. Well, knowing my mod addiction, I'll probably end up with a Vamo sooner or later!

What's the nic level? I don't go higher than 18 - I'm trying to get back down to 12 but when I try my 12 it's just not enough.

If I recall from the ad, they're 24, Laura. I hear you on the 12 mg -- I'm comfortably vaping 12 these days, but the 18 to 12 jump was the toughest nic challenge I've faced since quitting analogs.

 

[daniele25]

Peppermint Mocha with no steep - awesome - with some steep - awesome-er!!!

I just polished off what I had left of Blueberry Colada....so might be time to at least "test" Peppermint Mocha or Grapevine... lol

 

[Mr.Mann]

What's the nic level? I don't go higher than 18 - I'm trying to get back down to 12 but when I try my 12 it's just not enough.

It was 24 but you get some zero nic HB or 6 mg and mix the two. You'd end up with either 12 or about 15.

 

[Mr.Mann]

I'm wondering if there is anywhere in the thread where the flavors sold are matched up with the acronym's that are used. Most of the time I don't know what is being spoken of. lol

CPBT - Caramel Pear Black Tea
SC - smooth Crimminal
HB - House Blend
DM - Deal Maker
DD - Devil Dog
BGB - Blue Grass Burley
BVC - Blueberry Vanilla Cake
SVC - Strawberry Vanilla Cake
BPT - Black Pomegrante Tea
BTwH - Boba Tea with Honeydew
CA - Cranberry Autum
JJ - Jungle Juice

Those are the ones I use.
