I've had this baby for almost a month and I feel that it's time to do my contribution to the community, with a review!
Anywho, i got mine in the silver/chrome and added a matching m1a1 tank with it which i will also review. Let me just say, I'm one of the many folks who were drooling over the provari but ever since i got the buzz pro, I seriously felt like I didn't need one anymore. This sounds familiar doesn't it? Yes, grimmgreen has also said the same thing and I feel exactly what he was feeling. To keep this as short as possible, i will go right into the pros and cons of both BP and tank.
BUZZ PRO
Pros:
-Durable: I have read a lot about what people have done to their BPs and I can believe it. Not long ago, mine had a 4-5 feet drop onto solid concrete. the drip tip had been broken but the tank (m1a1) as well as the BP was fine. I do have visual nics from the fall but it's still going strong!
-Battery life: I tested the battery life using 3 ohm boges and 2 sets of Powerizer batteries that i had cycled enough for max capacity on exactly 5 volts for both sets. I measured using my J tank (3ml) and how many times i had to fill it. I was able to vape almost 2.5 tanks total before i had to swap batteries which is actually pretty damn good. But keep in mind that the J-tank is probably no more that 2.5ml to fill up.
-Weight: It was actually quite a bit lighter than i expected it to be. To some it may seem a lil heavy and some may think its too light, but I think it's perfect because it's not too much of a burden to take out and about while also feeling like it's built like a tank.
-Looks: I just like it haha!
-Voltage Adjusting: very awesome. I was worried when i purchased it, that the pot would stick out a lot but it barely sticks out! It also does have quite a bit of resistance to change voltages so it won't change so easily in your pocket. It did change a couple times but it's not that big a deal since you can change it back to the way you like it even if you dont remember it
Cons:
-Top cap: I dislike that the connector sticks out. you get used to it after a while but sometimes i do wish that it was a flush top cap. Sometimes i feel like the little stem between my tank and the BP would get caught on something or give enough leverage for the carto to snap from the connection if enough force is placed on it to bend it.
-Button: Sometimes i find it a bit annoying because i have big fingers and it doesn't feel right. Dont get me wrong, the button works everytime and hasn't failed, i just like the feel of beefier buttons naturally. This is more of a preference thing than anything. It is also recessed a bit so it wont fire that easily in your pocket unless you are wearing tight jeans or something
M1A1 tank
Pros:
-Side locking screw: I like that i'm able to fill the tank up without having to push out the carto every time. It's not so messy anymore and i save on paper towels for wiping the thread end of the carto afterwards. Also i notice that by just taking off the screw, it seems to fill the carto quite quickly. I'm pretty sure physics is involved in this but I wont get into the explanation of it LOL
-Durable: It was obvious when i dropped my BP that the tank also impacted the concrete (broken drip tip). But i actually didn't see a scratch on the tube or the end caps. the end caps might be ok due to the driptip and there being a bit of extra bit of carto popping out at the top.
-Looks: It matches my BP, what can i say? haha!
-Weight: It's quite light so it wont add much, if not any, weight on the top end of your PV.
Cons:
-Side locking screw: Yes, this is also a con. The screw is so bulky that it ruins the look of the whole set up all together. a more discreet screw would fix that for sure. I've also had it get caught on to a bit of loose thread in my pants pocket when i was taking it out so it was quite annoying.
-O rings: The outer O rings that hold the endcaps onto the tube are not tight enough. The way the endcaps were designed, the O rings end up right by the ends of the tube. Also i noticed that if you tighten the side screw too much, one side of the top end cap will lift up a bit and that's quite worrying. Also, if one thing were to get caught in between the end cap and tank tube (the renegade pant thread), it may pull the end cap off and you will have a mess to deal with. The inner O rings are fine but just a tad short of being accident proof (tank slipping off) like the J-tank. TIP: make sure you test out your drip tips on the carto prior to putting it in the tank. too tight of a drip tip fitting will cause problems. the inner O rings aren't strong enough to keep the carto in place (even with the side screw) when you want to remove it. If you do get a drip tip stuck, i suggest using an old ego battery or something to hold it while you tug away as you dont want to hold the tank (lost a whole tank of juice thx to that).
I think i've covered whatever I can think of. Thanks for bearing with the long (so much for short right? LOL) review and I hope it helped any of you in your search for the perfect PV
