Bad Day in VapeTown Last Night

[Bill's Magic Vapor]

Everything was going along just fine. There I was, doing the last dishes of the night and getting ready to watch Breaking Bad, when my Provari decided to leap from my shirt pocket into the dirty sink water. HORROR !!!

Like Sigourney Weaver in alien, the nightmare of my situation began to dawn on me.....I want another Provari; but increasing the count, not fighting to stay even.

Somewhere, in the recesses of my mind, a chat about this same subject is coming to light, rice, rice, RICE, RICE??? ECF members eat rice?

I dump the Provari into the rice last night. A mere 12 hours later, this little San Francisco treat is hitting like a champ, way better than hitting a home run in softball. And now I don't have to make lunch either.

That's awesome you saved it!

That's great man. So happy for you. Also good to know because I have been known to drop things in liquid usually my cell.

Good for you Bill! I have forgotten about rice more than once. I can verify that phones and diet Pepsi are a very bad mix.

Seriously dude - the things some people will do to justify getting another Prothingy.

For as much crap as the Provari gets, I have yet to hear a story going this way with any other regulated device... Not trying to stir the pot, I'm just happy I spent my money on a unit that can survive something like this! So glad it worked out happily ever after!

I had my SVD decide to take a swim the other night. Too bad it swims like I do.... straight to the bottom. I gave it a rinse with distilled water (it is a saline pool) and 3 days in rice. Works like it did prior to its maiden voyage.

Exactly....here's the pitch. "Honey, I damn near lost my Provari tonite." *looks disturbed*. "I'm soaking it in rice right now and hope that will bring it back to life. Now, I'm more concerned than ever about a backup Provari. I won't be able to use this one, for who knows how many hours? Should we get another Provari....to be safe?"

"No, use the mini, and quit belly-aching. It's a Provari, it'll be fine." And that, was that. (I'm secretly choosing options now as we speak *whispers*). And regarding options....

1. How valuable is the colored LED's? My others have the blue, but red is free. What would you do?
2. Should I get a Mini and either add an extension cap, or get a couple of extension tubes from cigtechs, and maybe a Provari base, saving the money now on the extension tubes?
3. Should I order two more AW batteries from ProVape, or find them somewhere else for less? Shipping?
4. Should I just get the standard Provari and forget about the mini and all these extension tubes? Which ever way I go, this Provari will be the satin silver, which might be ok with the Cigtech tubes.

So, any input would be helpful here please!
Thanks....you don't have to whisper any more, she left for the store.

A 12 step program for multiple Prothingy owners?

I can speak to the batteries, and ProVape is actually the best place to get them. I looked on Amazon, ebay, and a few vendor sites and one, knowing I am getting real AW's, two, they're actually the best price out there regardless of shipping costs... I bought a pair of the 18650 2k mah for less than it would have cost me to drive about half an hour away to get them.
I've only got a mini and usually bring a spare 350 with me to work which will last me the whole day chain-vaping.

Probably the last time you do dishes with your Provari in a shirt pocket. Rice does amazing things to watered down electronics. It's saved a phone or two as well. Good to hear she is alright. whew.
