Finally. I got the pictures off the memory card. I'm only posting this one photo, just because you see one, you've seen them all.

My thoughts...

First off, so it is said. I bought this from varitube.com. It came with both the 18650 tube and the 18350 tube, plus a velvet case. All the other places I found, you had to purchase the '350 tube separately. I have found the mod cheaper (out of stock), but it only came with the '650 tube. When you add the purchase the '350 tube, it's more then what I paid. Varitube shipped it the next business day (ordered late at night) and it showed up in a few days. If I had to complain about anything with them, it would be they only had button top batteries, but if that's the only complaint they get, they are doing good.

So far, I've been very pleased. My biggest complaint would be the short life of the '350 battery. I only have one '350, so an an additional '350 and a '650 are to be ordered soon.

The only trouble I have had so far with the PV is there have been a couple times that the screen blanked out. The device would still fire, but I couldn't see anything. If I recall correctly this has happened three times. Each time, I removed the battery, blew some air in the tube and replaced the battery. This fixed the issue. Part of me wonders if this has anything to do with the button top battery. The batteries mentioned above will most likely be flat tops or at least one. Also, two times when I blew into the tube, some kind of dust/particles flew out. I'm assuming pocket lint, but not certain.

Anyway, this is where I stand. Happy.

Thats a dam good deal for both tubes you know I love me some '350. Im already planning on a Provari (mini of course) But if anything happens to my Evic before then I will be grabbing one of these as a backup. I have 2 '350 batteries both button top 1 eFest (<-vapefest) and one AW. The life isnt the best but thats why I have 2 and my '650 as a backup which I used for the 1st time at vapefest. Each battery I get about 6 1/2 to 7hrs until I get to 20%. I dont let it go below 20 as its states pretty much everywhere. So 13-14.5hrs isnt bad for me atleast ...I get thru work and get home on the second battery so it works for me. and I knew wut to expect goin into 18350 config ..worth it for me.

Anybody happen to know where to get the 350 tube separately? I can't find one anywhere.

myvaporstore.com has them in stock
gotvapes.com has some colors in stock (no black or blue last time I looked)

BTW, still loving my Anyvape. Got a slew of batteries, so now I'm set. Now back to tanks and juices.

YOO JOE!
I know I can really trust your answer on this cause we love EvoDs. How good is the protank really? Because I look at that coil base and just see Evod all over it and cant justify buying one if its just a higher capacity evod. So next to the Evod how good is it really? I need you to really break down the difference for me cus right now I dont think its worth it.

BTW MT3 body ..Evod Base ..yes it works Evod capacity solved

In my opinion, it does out perform the evod. I say that because of the draw/vapor i get from it. It has a real light and airy draw. The evod draw is quite a bit tighter than the protank.

Is it worth 20, probably not but it has a pyrex (pretty sure) tank and holds more. Then add the airy draw (if thats your thing) and its still a good tank. Ive read other posts mentioning the packaging is over kill and it is. Basic plastic wrap and condoms, like everything else would have to make it cheaper. I will admit i do use the case it comes in daily. It holds either the protank or the jtank AND two evods. Although one of the evods leaked in it. Now it smells like syrup.

If they were cheaper id already have a few more but ill prob end up buying another one one day. Sale maybe? Idk.

Soo the protank is extra airy ..im gonna super glue one of the holes cause this is ridiculous

There is an airflow adapter made for tanks that sell for about 2.99 each that will help. I know that Madvapes and Stormys carries them.

I'm baaaack... Finally. I had to come back to this thread and update my experience with the Anyvape CVI v1.

Final conclusion... it sucks. I constantly have to remove the battery to "reset" it because it weirds out in a couple different ways.

One time it will not fire and show the device's resistance on the screen, whether the fire button is pressed. No vapor is produced.

Another time the screen may start to fade out and no vapor gets produced.

And in the worst cases, the device will totally freak out and reset itself to 3 volts. Which means it is switching from Wattage mode to voltage mode then dropping itself to 3v. If I remove the battery and replace it, I then have to reset every setting back to the way it was.

Also another annoying thing I've had happen is with the OLED screen's display. You can make it show the power, the battery or the resistance, but I guess the device doesn't like to do what you want it to, because no matter what the setting is, eventually, it switches itself back to showing the power setting.

These problems seem to happen no matter what's going on. I can have a fully charged battery, a dead battery, a full tank, an empty tank, in the morning, in the evening, in the cold, the hot, etc... there's doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for it.

iVape has a chinese GG mechanical mod for $30 that I almost bought last weekend. Looks like I will be getting that soon. Well unless I find something else comparable.

Your store Ivape has the pro's for 14.95 and I used a 5% discount code on top of that "NewRewards"...now its worth it lol

I noticed this while I was there last weekend. I came close to grabbing one just because, but I was already shelling out too much cash that weekend, so I contained myself.

That sucks man, thats why u gotta have backups. I still got my ego-VV and recently traded juice for a 1300mah vision spinner (which i've been using alot lately). Also bought the flat top version of the zmax V3 and sold the curve top ..so kind of a trade in a way. Got my hands on sum bobas and gorilla juice, Picked up a protank, and have a bunch of juice from a few places.

Im still not interested in mechs at the moment, I use too many variations of ohms and Rba's are still at the very bottom of my list so ill stick to VV mods. but let me know wut you end up with how its works for you.
