Coming up on 5months, time to upgrade my setup.

[Riversong]

I've got a Provari fund going too. Chase the dream (and hope the kids don't find my cash stash). lol.

5months definitely means pro vari time good Job Treat yourself !!!

Now if only it would be here when I get home from work tommorow.....
My g/f wants the provari in purple.... If I ordered one without hers I would be in trouble haha.
So it looks like I'm saving for two now...

Ok, I took the dive and decided to grab the vamo for now.
I'm going to start a provari fund, it just wasn't in my reach at the moment.
It kind of like walking onto a car lot..... You see the new vette sitting up front and say wow!! I want that!
But them you realize you need to tow stuff and can't afford the 60k sticker price.
So I grabbed the silverado for a little more than half, but its practical for me at the moment haha.....
True story!
Here's a breakdown of my order.
View attachment 195377
I grabbed a spare batt to have with me and charge while not in use. I also grabbed a rebuildable tank to give it a shot.... Some extra wire also.
Did I do alright?

I have both VAMO and Provari, the provari is definitely nicer, higher quality, more solid and a better vape, however, if you're on a budget, the VAMO will certainly get the job done, no problems.

as far as you're cart, if you're getting an rba, looks like you're missing SS mesh either 325x325 or 400x400...

where did you order from?

It comes with mesh, they didnt have any additional to add for spares.
I ordered through high desert vapes

I just got an 11x17 inch sheet of 400 from http://www.themeshcompany.com/ took about 10 days to get here.

You're definitely gonna need more mesh than just what comes with the atty, well at least I did. Good choice on the vamo btw. It was the bees knees in my eyes when I first got it, but like everyone says...save for that provari! No life like Provari life.

Im still looking to upgrade too - but concerned that I might quit vaping in 6 months myself so dont want to break the bank. I guess it would be nice to pay it forward when I do quit vaping though.

 

[Chiups]

Why would you start vaping with the intention to quit? Unless you plan to ween off nicotine completely.

 

[BleedingOrange36]

I hate waiting!!
My order is still waiting fulfillment....
My girlfriend ordered a ego-c twist from another site the exact same time I was ordering and she is vaping her new toy right now

 

[BleedingOrange36]

If you can, hold tough and buy a Provari, build quality is fantastic, mine has never missed a beat..
The eVic is grand, it looks okay, got some nice gadgety features and it VW, its affordable too, just nowhere near as rugged as the Provari..
Congrats on 5months smoke free too

I ordered the vamo for now....
I have to save up for a few important things right now, but the provari is on the list...

 

[BleedingOrange36]

Well looks like my setup will be here today. Was scheduled for Wednesday but I'm not complaining.
Can't wait!! Just knowing I have something better coming, my current setup seems like POS...

 

[chadsmo]

Grats, I love new vaping toys.

If you go RBA do not buy a VV or VW mod. A nice cheap setup is the natural with a smoktech rsst. Get some 500 mesh and 28 or 30awg kanthal and a torch.

I have a Natural but my Provari fires a 1.1ohm coil fine. Maybe it's not throwing as many watts at the coil or whatever but it works great at 4.2 volts.

 

[BleedingOrange36]

Yea, I wish I got more mesh when I ordered my setup. They didnt have any on the site.
Checked the ohms on the did clone, 1.6.
Fixed whatever hot spots the coil had, and filled the tank up to check resistance again.
Everything seemed great, took a drag and it tasted like .... :/
I figured I may have burnt the screen a bit, I flipped it around and wrapped my own coil. It seems the 32ga wire I ordered isn't what the tank came with.. Looks like 30ga.
I couldn't get the coil up above 1.4ohms. I ended up burning a few coils up, and the screen is probably shot now.....
Do these did clones usually taste like crap?
I'm back to using my Texas tank, I'm really digging cart tanks over everything else so far. The did clone I have also seems very airy when I take a drag..... I like a little bit of a harder drag.... Similar to my tank setup.
