Still waiting for my provari in the mail, anyway...
the best vape I get is either dripping into a 510 or my ego c cartridge straight on the atty.
but my provari is on the way...
would look silly with such a small drip tip or ego c cone attached...

what should I buy for my provari...
I don't like tanks and cotton and wicks much...
just looking for a similar cartridge to atty setup like my ego c. But more aesthetic looking on the provari...
thanks...

Not one to push another device if they are happy with what they are using. The system that you are using is pretty antiquated by today's current standards. But if that is what is working for you, keep with it.

Just curious, have you tried a cartotank? Many people using a Provari are using them as their preferred juice carrying device.

Have you looked at the Vision Eternity Multifunction RBA? It can be used as a dripping atty or an ego style tank atty.

I got one last week and I kinda like it in dripping mode. Not so much a fan of the ego style tank. I use it on my Vamo. It does use silica wicks but they are small and wick pretty efficiently IMO. Holds 30 drops with no leaking. And rebuilding is pretty simple. They even sell wick and coil already setup if you don't want to wrap it yourself.

I like my ego c at work and on the go, but plan to keep the provari for home use.
I started on an Eblu cig and quit cold turkey for months, till it brok and I was tired of boiling the cartos clean.
So I got a copy cat ego, it broke too.
So now I have a genuine ego c and love the direct cartridge on the changeable atty.
Would like a nice setup cartridge style on my provari...
I'll look into cargo tank but I think I already have one but may be mistaken...
My clearomizer is ok but not great, and I have a kanger t3 but don't like it much...
Maybe I'll keep shopping around...
I saw the dual 510 converter, maybe I could stick that bad boy on a couple 510s and drip crazy...

Yea the kanger t3 is a cartomizer tank, I don't like the wick and cheap atty. well maybe I'm wrong but it looks like cartomizer and clearomizer are virtually the same thing. A tank with a wick and atty. either way I looking for a large tank setup that doesn't involve a wick or a cart stuffed with cotton.

No, you are mistaken. The Kanger T3 is a large clearomizer. Clearomizers and a cartotank are two entirely different beasts.

I advise you to take a look at this picture dictionary of juice delivery devices. It has pictures and a description, and a video that shows how they are filled and work.

And what you describe that you are looking for doesn't exist to my knowledge.

Well I don't like the wick system on a clearomizer and I'm not a fan of cotton stuffed in the cartos, so what tank systems does that leave me?
Again I like the egoc system of a tank directly onto the atty, is there a larger system that is similar that would look good on my provari?

I saw one that a fellow vapor got when he came in the shop. Looked really sweet to me. Kinda like my Phoniex . But with a lot more style.

Ummm..... No.


An RBA tank system might come close to what you are looking for, but they are reserved for advanced vapors only. Not a beginner device. They aren't something that will work right out of the box. They need to be researched thoroughly and have ancillary equipment handy to prepare. You have to learn to roll your own wicks from stainless steel mesh and wrap your own heating coil with wire like the last photo below.

You might look at this device. I have no real knowledge of it. Not a tank, so may not suit your needs. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/347100-ebaron-dripper-pro.html


Some one else help me out here. I've seen a device that can fit on the Provari that works like a bottom feeding box mod, it has the effect of continuous dripping on an atomizer being feed by a juice tank. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

:confused:

Ok, it looks a lot like this device, but is a production device, not like this DIY mod: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/319816-bottom-feeding-vapemate.html

Finally found it. It's made by Super T Manufacturing. Called of all things...the Vape Mate:
Super T ~ Vapemate

It has nothing to do with wicking strings or polyfiller, just juice directly onto an atty from a tank of juice. Just get a high quality atty like a 357 and you'll be good to go.

My work is done here.

If you don't like wicks and you don't like cartos, you're basically stuck with the ego-c or a dripper setup.

WITH THAT SAID I think the ego-c doesn't get nearly as much respect as it deserves. Sure, it doesn't hold much. Sure the atomizers are a bit spendy. But it provides very good flavor, good vapor, it's VERY easy to change flavors (more so than either cartos OR clearos), and the attys last quite some time with some very easy maintenance. I still have 2 ego-c setups for "trying" new flavors that have proved good in a dripper.

If you like the ego-c, stick with it. If you're really THAT concerned with aesthetics... well, I don't know, I could care less what my vape looks like.

As someone who had been using a Twist with Ego C and EVOD, who just got his Provari and carto tank today, give the tank a shot.

Like you, I loved the flavor of the Ego C. It was a little quirky, with a tendency to flood with thinner juices, but it really did taste great. The vapor production sucked even compared to the EVOD, but the EVOD is pretty muted. The EVOD somehow has better vapor production and flavor on the Provari, but still, not the Ego C's flavor.

Along with the Provari I got a Big Daddy tank and a bunch of Boge cartos. I screwed up one punch, and the second was perfect using the saddle valve I ordered along with the tank, using Grimm Green's video tutorial. What surprised me is, the flavor is amazing. I got turned off from cartos by the junk that came along with my first kit, but these Boges are a different beast. The flavor is just as clear as the Ego C, which is still a little short of dripping into a bridgeless atty. Vapor production, compared to what I'm used to, is off the charts. I know I can do better with an RBA, and I eventually will, but I'm very impressed so far. I can't wait to try some Ikenvape cartos.

Working with it is a little difficult at first, I have to say. I got a Slap Yo Momma tool, and that's definitely making things easier. And honestly, working with the Ego C cartridges was a little tricky at first too, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I think I'll probably end up with a Phiniac tank soon, just because I want tighter o-rings. The Big Daddy is by no means bad in this category, above average from pbusardo's tests, but I'd like a little more for my daily driver.

I'd suggest it, I really didn't expect this vape quality despite all the huge tank fans around here.

Nice Bad, I saw your pictures in Big Daddy's gallery. I have to say, I'm jealous of your green LED :)

I'll have to borrow a camera at work to get a decent photo. I got the angled polished caps, and I was thinking I'd get a second tank with the anodized black caps. Black on the bottom, polished on the top. But the angle meets perfectly with the Provari's taper, so I think I'll just skip on to Phiniac, Cirrus, and Kir Fanis.

I have pretty much that same stainless drip tip on mine, it really looks great with the caps. But I think I'm going to bite on a tru-stone or wood tip from Drip Tip Designz to take it to the next level. I got a couple Cherry tips too, and I can't say I'm all that impressed for the price.

I have to admit the above posted pics are not of my Provari. They are pics that other members here have posted of their Provari's, or I have downloaded them from Google Images. I do this not to be deceiving people that they are mine, but merely to add to the commentary of particular posts. I'm a very visual-oriented individual.

I have been eyeing the high end tips from Drip Tip Designz. They certainly have some nice ones. I just got a pearl white Bull's Mod tip for my white Silver Bullet topped with an AGA T+ rebuildable, and I must say they have nice tips, also, if you can catch the sporadic sales. My current favorite tip is this one from Sagewood Glass:
