Seriously? I ordered the provari because I didn't want to look back a year from now and say "wow I could of bought a provari with all the money I spent experimenting" so now my question is..

How night and day will this jump be? I'm not going to get my feelings hurt if its just a slight improvement but curiosity definitely has me thinking. When I take my 1st pull on the new setup will I be in vaping heaven?

True, that! Provari certainly has it's cult like following but you can take a cheap carto and stuff it on the most expensive "ghee whiz" battery out there and it's still going to vape like a cheap carto. On the flip side of that coin you can put a $150 rba with a wick made of golden angle hair and admantium coil on an $8 eGo clone and be QUITE satisfied.

This made me google whether or not adamantium was actually conductive. Turns out it really is... BUT I did discover that vibranium is not. Now I wish I had an adamantium coil! :)

Is good vape is a good vape. For the record, my ProThingy is sitting here on my desk while I am producing huge plumes of vapor with my Twist.

I'm using ibtanked tank with smoktec 3oh cartos.

That's what's in my avatar, except I use 2.0Ω cartos (and I just got some IKenVapes that I have tried yet).

ETA: I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It has a great feel - which is the best way I can describe it - and being able to fine tune the voltage (as opposed to kinda/sorta with a Twist) does enhance your vaping experience, but in my posts I try to emphasize that it is ultimately a power source, not a unicorn.

That's what I figured. The selling point to me was..

1.I had the money to spend.
2.Hard to find anything negative about it on the forums.
3.Bought the warranty and I have the piece of mind that I'm not throwing my cash away on a product that will break weeks into making the investment.
4.I was a few glasses of wine into my night when I looked at the provari section if this message board.

Should probably list number 4 as number 1....

Well, the husband was using an Apollo, and I had gotten a Provari off the classy's here. I decided for my two year anniversary I was going to buy a NEW Provari!! I did early *blushes* and the husband grabbed the old Provari cause he was too lazy to find his Apollo (it was under the bed, I wanna know how the heck he managed THAT). Anyhow, he never DID give me the Provari back, he has taken ownership. When I asked him, he just said it worked better than the Apollo. It always gives the same hit no matter what once it's set. He likes the weight, and doesn't feel like it's going to break if he drops it (I've dropped mine a LOT on cement, hasn't even scratched).

I however did NOT have a glass of wine when I ordered mine. The husband had a bit of whine though :0).

I'm glad you got yours ;) There was a member who told me he was going to get one and was thinking about getting his lady one too. I suggested he reconsider that plan...
