So I am completely new to vaping. Getting ready to buy a Provari and need to know what to buy with it. I have done quite a bit of research over the last few days and it seems I may as well spend to money now to get one of the better vv's on the market then to upgrade to it anyways in a few months. So my questions is what to buy with it? I know I will need the charger but should I buy the batt's from them or should I buy the panasonic batt's others have mentioned? I will also be buying a phiniac tank to put on it. One last question, could anyone recommend some e-juice dealers to get me started?

I love Vapedudes.com. They have great tasting juice, fast shipping and good prices. They give away 15 bottles a day with the code "fbfree". They also have a code "Vapedudes" that will get you 40% off. You can use both codes on the same order. For $20 you can get 6 bottles of 10ml juice anyway you like it.

My best suggestion is to order small bottles of juice (5-10ml) from places until you find
What you like. We all have 30ml bottles of juice at home that we can't stand because we didn't heed this advice.

By the way, my experience with vape dudes is that the juice is awesome upn delivery, but after about 3-4 day of steeping, it's incredible

Never tried virgin vapors. Kick bass has good juice, but not a lot of flavors. I have ordered from them once and it was a good experience. The bottle came without a hole in the dropper, so when I tried to use it, the dropper came off and I lost half the bottle. They sent me a replacement bottle for free.

They are a husband and wife couple, so it takes a day or two for them to ship since they custom make your juice, but IMO, it's worth the wait

Wait a minute. This is not fair. As a newbie, you're supposed to spend hundreds of dollars on garbage before buying a great mod like a Provari! What did you do, research first??? Seriously, you are a wise one. Now concerning batteries, I own but have never used the 18650 extension because 18490's pretty much last me 7-8 hours and I prefer the smaller size. If you are going to use 18650's, the Panasonics are great but I'm not sure how well they fit because they are about 1 mm longer. you'll find that the good old AW's last all day anyways. You're also getting a tank, that's excellent! Boge SR 3.0 or LR 2.0Ω carto's work great. (don't forget you'll need something to punch your carto's with).
As far as juice goes, everyones tastes are different so what I love you might hate and vice versa. I think Delmar is in NY so I'd suggest that you try to find a vaping meet up in your area as you'll be able to sample a ton of liquids.
Great job and good luck!

I love Kick Bass Vapors juices, especially Fiddle Faddle, V-Spot, and OMG. I want to drink the Fiddle Faddle. It was one of those juices that I thought I would buy to have as an occasional treat and it's almost become my all day vape. It's tastes buttery and like toasted pecans. Not too sweet, just awesome. I also like Mrs. T's Bakery (her banana nut bread is unreal) and ECBlends (they are so flexible and let you create your own flavors). Don't forget to order some different nic strengths. There will be times when you are just vaping for a couple of minutes and want a high strength, but there will also be times when you are watching tv and chain vaping and want something that won't give you a headache.

Good luck with your Provari. Remember that although you are skipping steps, most vapers like to have an eGo twist or Kgo or something as a backup and to use when they are out and about and don't want to carry the larger Provari. I have the Provari mini and I love it. You'll be very pleased, I'm sure.

In the 18650 sized batteries, there are two that are superior and cheaper than the AW.
Only one of them fits. The IMR 2250mah CGR18650CH is available at orbtronic.com for $7.99 shipped.

It's the larger 3100mah protected Panasonic that is too long for the Povari because of the nipple.

And DO get a backup. You will not want to take a Provari everywhere and in any environment.
Despite the juvenile comments of some Provangelists, not everything else is "garbage" or a waste of money.
There are plenty of good, compact and relatively inexpensive PVs out there.

Smart move,I just purchased in late April and the Provari is what got me off the final 3 cigs a day. Here is what I bought.
1) Regular size Satin chrome
2) 2 18490 Batts
3) charger(I did not know about Pila at the time, so I got the regular one) I have since upgraded to the Pila for safety reasons, after much research

I have since purch a mini with extension cap....It's just a smidgin smaller than a regular Provari

I am very satisfied with my purchase

lol @Pete54 I guess I did it the "right way"....spent entirely too much learning, starting with 808's, onto 510's, then onto ego's, now VV's. The next step will be a Mod, but not quite sure I'm "there" yet. The whole concept of separate batteries I find intimidating, so we'll see. I will have fun with my "Ego VV's" until I need to take the next step (or jump!). Thanks for the giggle!

This is what I ended up in addition to the provari. I ordered 2 pawn dream tips from cherry vape, a phiniac tank and tool kit, and a 15 pack of ss boge 3.0 carts from crystal clear vaping. As for juices I ordered gooey better cake, OMG and Peach sweet tea from kick bass vapors. Sound like a good start?


I approve of this message. LOL.

Phiniac Tank--Good. Boge 3.0-Good. OMG and Gooey Butter Cake from KBV--Very, very good! Never tried the sweet tea. The Fiddle Faddle from KBV is out of this world. I think you'll be very happy with your purchases.
