Ok, just for you, I shot a matched set of tanks so you can see the height :) - MVP2, Provari Mini, Provari Standard ... 2 of which came out of the kiln today.

Yes, they are huge tanks, wider than the Provari. They are designed to have a glass sleeve fit over the Provari and lock on the unit with the head. I'm kidding, but it would work:).

Wow! You are kicking major echinoderms with these babies!

They're 25.4mm... they have nearly the same inner diameter as the IBTanked... but... they are 4mm of solid glass vs IBTanked's 2.5mm of glass. The problem is, I can't get any more caps for them right now:(.

That's some thick glass... You could drop a ProVari out a two story window with one of those tanks on it!

You could I'd think. Problem is, all your juice would likely leak out, because the carto would probably snap somewhere, and cause your tank to leak, or one of the end caps would pop off spilling your juice (I spill lots of juice anyway, so that's my first thought... losing my juice, since I don't worry about damaging either the Provari or the tank:)).

You mean asking questions? Yea, that's allowed here.

It's the way that people chose to respond that takes a thread in a different direction. Sort of like what you did.


No I didn't mean Asking questions. I meant what I said, a failed attempt to BASH the ProVari. And I choose just to ask if it happens all the time.

Around 4pm yesterday Ladiekali posted
For me, i didnt like the price tag or the way it looked.

This post here is how I knew yesterday, only 3 hours later, that Ladiekali already knew the answers to the questions, and was attempting to bash the ProVari.

But when you read them 2 post,

the one at 4:01pm
I have the mvp2
I still dont know why the provari is better. I have no clue, they swear it is.
Im not a provari hater by any means. I just got the mvp2 for $43 shipped and love it!
Im not even sure if the provari is vw?
For me, i didnt like the price tag or the way it looked. And i hadnt found any solid info as to why it was better than the mvp2 . I was also afraid of losing it!
I would be interested to hear from some one who owns both.
What are the real differences between the two.
Just watch out provari vs mvp these threads can get raunchy.
They get so caught up in bashing each other that nothing ever really seems to be discused.


and the one at 6:56pm

Ok so the batteries that go in the provari, you repair those. Every one says that mvp is disposable, but arent the batteries that go in the provari disposable too?
So the provari is vv and not vw?
And its built like a tank as far as dropping, what about tank leakage? Hiw does it do with that?
And its 510 threaded only?
Am i correct in this so far?
Fyi i am genuinely interrsted and that is all.

oh my never mind, i did not know this was going to be over $200 to get a setup.
my bad, for some reason i thought it was around $150 all said and done.
disregard my questions


they do kind of look like the same post and same questions that Baditude answered back on the 15th,

Can you use the provari as a pass thru?
Whats the maximum mahs you can get for it?
Does it have vw?
Is it attractive in person? ( online its very blah )
How much does it cost?

I love my itaste vv3 800 mah $25
I love the mvp2 2600 mah $43 shipped

They use the same charger as my phone.
They work as pass thrus
They are vw
They look awesome, better in person.
Mvp2 charges my ipod and phone.
I can get two of each, plus jwraps to customize for the price of one provari.
They dont roll off tables or counters.

Now you being a ECF Moderator I would like to ask you this,

Why would a person that don't like the way it looks, thinks it cost to much, and won't buy one just because its not VW,
hang out in the ProVari forum and post what they believe to be negative things about the ProVari on peoples threads that are serious and honestly thinking about buying one?

Oh BTW:
If it was vw i would consider it.

Guys again thanks for all the input no worries I filter out the posts that seem trolly. :). I think I'm gonna place an order!!

Now just debating whether to go for a mini or full size. I vape about 3-4ml a day at 3.8-4.0V. Looks like with either I'll have to swap a battery at some point in the day, so thinking of the mini to keep it more pocket friendly.

Any comments on what I should expect battery wise with each, given my vaping stats above? I'm talking stock battery without extender caps on either.

Most of us find we like the Mini better with few exceptions. Of course, the Mini can be easily extended to fullsize using third party extensions. A fullsize, however, cannot be brought to Mini levels.

It will be a matter of personal preference, of course. :)

When all I had was my Full size ext. 18650 battery, it would last me 2 days. I just got my mini plus I am taking hits off of other mods all day long so I really don't know yet.

02.jpg You can see the difference in size here.
03.jpg this is mini with ext cap on 18490 battery.
View attachment 276150 this is with Kir Fanis ext cap, you can see mini is a little bigger but still only takes the 18490.
View attachment 276151 this is with the both ProVari with ext caps.


Now you can get one of these for mini and put a 18650 in it.
extension 2in1 18500/18650 for mini Provari By Kir Fanis - Gr-Modders

So what I am trying to say is you can go Mini and always make it bigger and put all 3 size batteries in it,
but the regular size you can't go smaller.

Hope I helped more then confused :blink:

I mostly use one of my Minis with an 18490 extension although I'm currently using one without an extension and an 18350. I have yet another set up to go with the 18650 but I really don't use that much, mostly because it would involve actively getting up and digging through a stack of crap to fish out the batteries (I'm in the middle of restructuring my work/living space).....lol

If your going with a mini without an extension cap I'd suggest picking up at least three of the 18350 batts, if not four. My 18350's last me about half a day and I'm vaping about the same # of ml's you are. I would highly recommend an extension cap for use with the larger batts for extended vape time. One 18490/18500 batt lasts me a whole day.

Fair warning

ENOUGH !

If you can't behave yourselves - don't post.

If you don't like the ProVari - stay out of ProVari threads.


These pissing matches are way beyond old and tiresome.


Am I understood ?



Another report came in on this thread...



No...these are not contradictory posts.
You CAN ask questions...but the bashing and belittling will stop.

If your intention is trolling a thread because you don't like the product...do not post...THAT is NOT asking questions...that is posting to disrupt.

Wow, do the ProVarinati always see post like this?
I mean I expect this in other forums but to come in here and with a failed attempt to bash the ProVari is just a joke.

Ok i for one am not even close to trying to bash a provari! My god yall is sensitive. Whike writing that post i googled provari and looked at provape and was like crap i cant afford it yet, so let me stop asking questions! If i cant afford it right now might as well lose a little of that twinkle in my eye till i can.

Looks awesome, sounds awesome, i think id want the bigger one, so id have to ask more questions. But this is some one elses thread.

Point being no provari bashing meant, think it was a misunderstood post.
If i were the OP AND I COULD AFFORD IT, GET IT!!!!
