Since you dont like fiddlin around with stuff, I would suggest a Kanger Protank and a 5 pack of extra coils (I like 1.8 and use at volts near 3.5) Learn to clean these heads/coils for longetvity. This is a great not leak, quick refil, no fiddlin arounf tank.

I would also suggest getting a few drippers/atomizers for pure enjoyment of the best vape you can possibly get. I would suggest the LR306 from myvaporstore. They are about 5.50 each. These are just a treat.

If you want to get a realy great tank/carto system, I would suggest a nice 19mm or 22mm XL complete tank from IBTanked. Look at " Baditudes" blogs about these. I just have got into these and I really am enjoying them.

The three I mentioned are all a bit different, but work very well and after much trying and buying are the things that stand out to me.

( thre old time vets here will be using the IBTanked cartomizer tanks and love them) or something similar and more pricey. I didnt get into rebuildables. You have to walk before you can run.

As for using the Provari, once you learn what your juices like with whatever topper you like, it's set it anf forget it, just vape. As for tough, yeah they are, mine has fallen off a 12 ft roof, been stepped on by a horse, and, knocked off the table into a bucket of grape juice - dust or rinse it of, dry if needed an d vape on.

I hope this was not in the same day LOL but I am very impressed it surviced a horse! Those are heavy!

Tanks, huh? Ok, IBTanked:

IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us!

I like the 22's on my mechs and the stainless is now back in stock. The Phinniac's are crazy good:

The Phiniac Tank - Phiniac Rugged Pyrex Glass Tanks

The Kir Fanis tops are awesome and never in stock:

Kir Fanis Mods - Cartomizer Tanks - Avid Vaper

On the lower end, I like the AGR Carto Tank. LiteCigUsa has a good deal on them now:

AGR Cartomizer Tank

On an even lower level, I like the basic Boge Tanks, and avoid the cheap plastic DCT tanks. You can go too low. But not bad as a first starter, test, give one to the daughter type of thing. Bought this pack of five recently:

These make nice throw aways. Also, please don't use the cartos that come with them. Awful. I like Boge's. Prefer standard and use both resistances. Have the XL's, but a lesser flavor to me. My two cents.

No, not in one day, the horse was last winter and in a dirt arena, the roof last spring when I had to patch it after a storm, and the grape juice last week when I was making wine after harvesting 3 bushels of grapes here. Hmm maybe my Provari thought the wine needed a little cinnabacco flavor added? LOL

    With all the stuff I have laying around there are still three PV's that stand head & shoulders above all the rest. Each is a very different animal for different pastures.

    Silver Bullet ... Altsmoke.com
    Provari ... Provape.com
    Reo ... Reosmods.com

    Those three have stood the test of time with CS & QC that no one else can match.

    You have definitely picked 2 of the better PV to consider. Vamo is also a good roughhouse Mod, though not as smooth in output as the others.
    I Own eVic and Vamo and have no issues with either so far. I know Provari as a close friend has one and we work together.

    I will rather than advise, suggest you read up on both, weed through the Personal crap and make your final decision based on your personal needs and desires.
    Both units are solid - (evic design was updated)
    Both have warranties and since you are out of country either will take time if repair/replacement is needed.
    Both have excellent performance.

    Good luck

    I am sorry guys but please enlighten me. After reading all the replies, each and every one just bases their idea behind how "provari is a tank and can survive crashes". I am intending to buy a PV, I have been using ego-c's and evod's. The device is going to be used at home only, and it won't get dropped. So... is the provari still better? I always read that the provari is the "best" so I was intending to buy one. But if durability is the only thing separating the PVari from the Evic (aside from the obvious amount of money) shouldn't I go for the evic?

    I just want to have the best vaping experience, I don't care about the money. I just want to buy one and from then on spending money on juices. ^^

    If money isn't an issue buy both. I have a couple Provari's and a E-VIC both of which I use daily. The Provari is a much better device all around and all it takes is a quick search here at the ECF to figure out why. :D

    I carry, and use at work and in the truck, 650 mAh stainless USB pass-through Joyetech eGos, with Kanger Mini ProTanks for their good BCC performance with 50/50 juice in a small, discreet form factor. For home (where the floors are carpeted or cushioned vinyl), I bought the eVic ($67.50 shipped at ValueVapors.com) for it's technology, and I use it with the bigger ProTanks, for longer vape times without being tethered to USB. There's no way, I'd "carry" an eVic/Provari sized mod or especially leave it in a 140º+ closed up truck.

    But the eVic, et al, are just bigger eGos. I want to explore mechanical mods, including the world of sub-ohm micro coils. At the same time I want to make the more fulfilling dripping experience more powerful, I also want to make it much less involved. Hence, I've ordered a Reo Grand and Reomizer 2 rba. Given its 6 ml bottle and 18650 battery in a tiny form factor, with the build quality of a Provari, it may replace the eGos as my carry PV as well as the eVic as my home PV.

    Originally, I suggested getting a VAMO for the pricepoint and the built in options. My stainless steel version 2 feels like a quality piece for the $30 I spent, and I have no problems taking it out with me. Just dropped it out of my uniform top yesterday onto blacktop, twice, while airing up the tires on my 5.0, and nothing. Not even a scratch.

    I'd like to get a REO, based on all the stuff I've seen pdib and super_x_drifter have said about them... but right now, I couldn't even afford a blem (and that's IF I could find one that I liked the finish on).

    At full price, the REO is still less expensive than the Provari. Besides the $68.75 for the eVic, I have about $30 in two ProTanks, $8 or so for a pair of Samsung pepto-bismal colored 2600 mAH 18650s (like the factory battery), and around $12 for a NiteCore I2 charger. It's definitely more affordable.

    Sure, more affordable for the poster looking to buy something right now LOL. I was just commenting that I myself would like to buy one, which I can't, because I'm spending my next batch of vape cash on juice.
