As for the "business end" of the power source, I like Smoktech 3.5ml (milliliter) DCT tanks fitted with Boge single-coil stainless steel "XL"-sized cartomizers, the Vivi Nova tank with replaceable atomizers of various resistances, the Bulli atomizer, and the GG Odysseus atomizer/tank. The last three have the distinction of being liked by me without my ever trying or owning any of them. You might also want to try a Joyetech "C"-type atomizer, just to try it. You might just like it. It's a three-piece version of the Joyetech "T"-type one-piece atomizer, comprised of a base, a cone, and a replaceable atomizer "head". Thee heads come in 5-packs of either 1.7 (?) ohm "low resistance", or 2.3 (?) ohm regular resistance. Some people love them, some people hate them, some are in between. You won't know which "camp" you'll fall into if you never try them. As this insanely long thread testifies to:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/232530-new-ovale-ego-c-changeble-system.html -
the Joyetech tank system has some quirks and possible shortcomings. That said, it can be a pretty nice setup for "stealth vaping", or vaping at work, out on the town, and is very pocket-friendly IMO.

I wouldn't bother watching any reviews of the ProVari V2; they're all good, it's all good. A "knock" on the Provari for its price is an absurd "knock" IMO.

You will like it, and you wlll like it very much. You will have to slot the cartomizers; either per Phil Busardo's YouTube video:
A PBusardo Tutorial - How I slot my cartos!.wmv - YouTube - or PM me and I will call you and tell you how to do it. You'll need to own or borrow a Dremel tool for someone, and you'll need some Dremel cut-off wheels, # 409. Or you can buy a cartomizr punch. It's hard to find pre-punched cartomizers that will work well with lower-voltage devices, even ones that go up to 4.8 volts like the Twist. Some people - including MyVaporStore - will say that dual coil cartomizers work fine on lower-voltage devices - but they do not.
From the MyVaporStore website:
"These cartomizers were designed specifically for use with Dual Coil Tank (DCTank) Tubes. A 510 drip tip and DCTank tube is needed in order to use these cartomizers. There is a hole punch on the side of them so may leak if used without a DCTank Tube.
All of our eLiquid will work with the DCTank (full PG or 50/50 PG/VG). Full VG eliquid is too thick and will not work well in theDCTank. [VG will work much better in a carto slotted for it].
These new cartomizers contain two heating coils instead of one to produce more vapor than your standard cartomizer [if you can put enough volts/watts to them]. They have been designed to work great with 3.7V batteries [Not IMO] or a HV (high voltage) setup. Available in 1.5ohm or 2.5ohm. Please allow +/- 0.3 variation. We recommend 1.5ohm for Ego batteries [why?] or 3.0V-4.2V batteries and 2.5ohm for 5V or higher. These cartomizers must be used with batteries of 650mAh capacity or higher and are known to discharge batteries much quicker than single coil cartomizers".

This is nowhere near as complicated as it might seem, and will be well worth the modest learning curve to figure out. This thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...sion/302432-why-ego-c-twist-game-changer.html
contains a thorough discussion of why single coil cartomizers are far superior (IMO) to dual coils for use in a Joyetech Twist (or any eGo-class battery/PV).
If you do nothing else, please at least watch the Grimm Green review of the Twist, and feel free to ask any questions that you might have. Good luck, and happy vaping, whatever it's on.

Final note: I have always found the term DCT[ank] to be a misnomer, since "DCT" stands for Dual Coil Tank, potentially leading one to believe that single coil cartomizers are somehow not well-suited to them, which IMO they very much are. Some people like dual coils, and IMO they have their place, but not in lower-voltage devices; not even a 1.5 ohm dual coil in a Twist, due to the marginal wattage per coil, and the greatly increased amp draw of say a 1.5 ohm dual coil cartomizer over a 3.0 ohm single coil.bulli atomizer review steve from liverpool

Final thoughts:
If you get a ProVari, I'd get the 18650 extension cap so you can use AW IMR 18650 2000-mah batteries, which will give you incredible battery life. I'd get at least three batteries, and an XTAR WP6 charger from lighthound.com. If you get the Twist, get two chargers in case one fails, although I've never had one fail. Backup, backup, backup. If one Soviet-made shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missile misfires, shoot down the Soviet-made Hind attack helicopter with the backup one.
