A few questions before I buy one.

1: will they ever come out with a model that has ego threading?

2: How does the Aspire mini nova BDC work with it?

2: Are there any EVOD/Mini Kanger type tanks that have 510 connection that work with it?

I want to buy one for my wife. I am so tired of her using crummy units and she hates how big my vamo is. She did say it wasn't to bad when I had it in its mini setup. Vamo doesn't offer colors like provari does. She likes using EVOD's. Well that is out if I get a provari. I do not want to get an adapter. It needs to look clean, no gaps.

Thanks

1. Probably not.
2. I haven't tried the Aspire mini nova BDC but it does have a 510 connector so it should work just fine.
3. The ProVari kit comes with a Kanger Protank 2 which uses the same heads as the mini Protank 2. It's just a bigger tank and looks better on top of a ProVari since the taper matches up with the Protank.

Check Provapes clearance page. They currently have blemished ones at a discount.

1 - probably not, unless there's an Ego resurgence. But there are adapters...
2 - dunno
3 - You can, beleive it or not, put a ProTank 510 base on a ProTank Mini!!! Weird, but it works!
Or there's a Tatroe Mod 510 base FOR a ProTank Mini. Kinda pricey, but if you LOVE your Mini's...

Or, you could get her into carto-tanks...they're pretty easy to use. IBTanked has a "halfling" that will get you, on a ProVari mini, a setup that is far shorter than an ego with a protank mini on it.
Baditude will probably pop in and post a picture soon - he's got that setup :D

Yes - but that is MAYBE.
Some Protank bases fit a ProVari just fine - no gap and no airflow trouble. Some don't - they're just inconsistent.
But that, too can be fixed - perhaps with an Aerotank base for $6 - which kicks up the ProTank performance on any mod...


I never thought of that! Will it have the same airflow problems that the pro tank 2 has?

I have 2 Aspire BDC mini nova versions that I use on my ProVari. It lines up perfectly just inside the outer ring. Sits flush and performs flawlessly. If you go to my profile and view images I have a couple pics of the ProVari with the aspire mini nova. Actually here you go I'll save you a few clicks on the mouse.

I got my first Provari today and I'm using a mini Kanger protank with a 510 to ego adapter......

Not the prettiest of setups, but it gets the job done! I started having issues with the cheap-o 510 - ego adapter I bought and went out and bought some 510 toppers. Much better experience for me.

After buying a ProVari, the toppers tend to be in the next month's vape budget, LOL..

Plus if there's not really an opportunity for PIF or something, you'd hate to see your existing stuff just get thrown in a drawer, unused...

It is a great-looking paint job.. I would have gotten one myself except for the fact that I personally can't stand red LED's (which IMO is the only way to go for that one)

Agreed. I really like the black/blue led combo but im loving that 2 tone one and im with you. i think red led would be the only way to go on that color combo. Come on tax refund!!!

I have a v2 black/blue combo i scored off the classies a few weeks ago and OMG what ive been missing out on. I surprisingly get longer life from my PT heads now due to the cleaner power output im assuming. But the vape is better and its a tuff ole bird. ive dropped it on the concrete and didnt even phase it. broke the glass in my pt2 but the provari keeps on tickin with nary a scratch/ding. me thinks they are made from adamantium, lolol
