This one never needs charging.

I have that, had it about a month and the cord has shorted out. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. After buying it, I read that the cord is NOT knotted inside the base and will pull loose from the connection. Haven't figured out how to get it open and fix that, but occasionally I can use a piece of tape to hold the cord in just the right spot to make it work. :) I thought it was a great idea, since I'm on the pc a lot and would save my batt charges, but not if it doesn't work.

I noticed mine doesn't work too good if certain eliquids flood and get on the contacts; first time it happened I thought is was the device itself going faulty, but it was just the circuitry detecting the liquid on the contacts shorting.

I read Similar Posts about the Cord coming Lose or Fraying where it enters the PT Body.

So when I got mine I put a Glob of Starbrite (Liquid Electrical Tape) on the Cord/Body where they meet. Seems to work Great.

You should look into the Innokin Cool Fire I ... it is an 18350 device, 21 mm diameter which is actually slim IMO, it is not VV/VW, but regulated for a consistent 8.5 watt vape, which I think your wife would like. It comes standard as a kit with the new Iclear 30B which is a bottom coil, so it seems like a perfect answer for your wife, who just wants to get her vape on with no fuss.

I've yet to have a problem with liquids getting on the post, but I always check, especially with my egos.

Unfortunately I was silly enough to buy it at a B&M without researching first. :( It was a last minute decision.

Eah... It's not the End of the World.

I'll got a whole Drawer Full of stuff that Broke or Didn't work wurth a Darm. I think it is just a factor of How Long you have been using e-Cigarettes. The Longer you use them, the larger the Pile gets in the Drawer.

How much did your PT Cost. About 3 Packs of Smokes?

With that said since one of her kangers has died on her she of course wants a replacement. Not to worry she has plenty of back up egos but she prefers the kangers to the ego.

See the answers ya' got? "I" ...."ME" ....."MINE IS" ..... and you knew the answer all along. Here, lemme (emphasis on "ME") tell ya' what is the ONLY thing to do::)

Get the gal what SHE WANTS - not what YOU think would be best for her; far less time spent in a state of "worry" and a "discussion" you can't win RIGHT NOW. Someday - she will get an idea, "I wonder what is soooooooo special about his 'Prowhatever' battery and she will give it a shot. Until that day - buy only what SHE wants and stick the cash ya' would have blown on a more expensive replacement in a can. When SHE is ready --- you got it covered:2cool::2cool::2cool:.

She's already told ya, "SIZE DOES MATTER" ........... stop while you're ahead!;);)

I have seen those but have not been able to determine if you can change the delivery device out. Do you know if you can or must you only use the one provided? I saw this great thing at my b & m and you had to only use the device that was on it so that was of course a no go since she switches up her liquids all day.

I have a tacklebox full of stuff that didn't work as expected or I found something better. I call it my vapocalypse box. I CAN make it work if all my other gear broke and the FDA shut down internet sales.

Here is what Santa dropped in the wife's stocking at Christmas. She loves it. She didn't want a "big honking" mod like I have
Mega KGO VV 1300mAh

That is not bad either. May have her look at that. The only reason i am doing this is because she asked last night. she really does like the idea of just swaping out a battery and using the same device. I had left her alone so this is on her now. Like i said i just want her to be happy. She never asks for anything and i think she deserves it all. But if i get her something and she is not happy with it then what was really the point? She will do some real looking when she is ready.

LOL about that, 12.99 I think it was, not a big deal and does still work occasionally. Like today, it's been working fine, I put tape on it. Doesn't matter how tacky it looks, no one sees it but me. ;)

GOOD choice! Marriage is so much easier when one side lets the other side alone to make the decision on nay given subject! Just ask my fifth and seventh wife! They learned the difficult way! I didn't get through eight and a-half DECADES not figuring it out! I knew it from day one!

Well we had to run to one of the b & m 's this weekend and they happened to have a smoktech zmax mini on hand. She likes it. not sure what makes that one different from the provari but to her it does and that is all that matter. so instead of replacing her eVods this weekend I will order her one of those.

Yes, you can mount it with any 510 threaded device that you wish, you are not limited to the Iclear that comes with it. :)
