DanG, I'm going to tell you what I wish someone would of told me 5 months ago, when I started this journey.
Provari. What? Why should I pay two bills for an e-cig? That's way to expensive!! I can't justify spending that kind of money for a pvd!!
Well, I say do the math.
It has been 5 months since I last had a cigarette. That comes to 4000 cigarettes that I have NOT smoked and over $1200 that I have NOT spent on tobacco cigarettes.
The first thing I thought when I posted this on my F.B. Wall in celebration of World & National Vaping Day, was Damn!! my Provari was not that expensive after all, in fact it was down right cheap.
Sure and ego, spinner or otherwise, works great, and yeah, you can dial a spinner, but it won't maintain that setting through out the charge of the battery. It won't measure the ohm ratting of a coil build with any ego, Yeah rba's are not for the beginner, and I wouldn't tell you to get one, but eventually you will want to try it out. or maybe not.
Yes a Protank is a great beginner's or intermediate tank, whatever version you try, I liked the pt 2 best, is a fine tank, thought I found vape heaven when I finally figured out the trick to get it to work flawlessly, but I was wrong, it's good, not great, compared to a good rba or genesis style, it's mediocre, at best. But it will work, and get you off the burning of tobacco.
I started with cig-a-likes, then egos with protanks, then one day The Owner and crew of Mount Baker Vapor, showed up at my craps table. friendly bunch, great tippers, but what caught my attention is that they were vapers. The owner pulled out the Innokinn SVD, with some huge 6ml tank on it, and proceeded to produce humungous clouds of vapor. He wasn't inhaling, basically showing off, but heck the other players were waving there hands to clear the vape. I have never seen clouds of vape or even smoke from a big cigar, that produced this magnitude of haze. That's when I realized what was missing, and my search begun.
Basically, you can start at the beginning, then work your way up, and then look back and find out that with all the money spent trying to find the ultimate vape, you could of had a Provari.
At the minimum, for $60-$70, you can pick up a Innokin MVP 2, Has internal battery, comes with Iclear 16 or an Iclear 30, Has passthrough capability, and will even come with a bottle of juice. This is a variable voltage, variable wattage box mod. But since the battery is internal, it will fail and die in time. Then replaced.
