Tripple digits half way to home

their not even in the same state as i am thrasher. They got to go on vacation while I got to work.
Besides I'm in enough trouble at work at the moment I need a vent to blow off steam. I should have kept my kick bag.

I'm waiting on a Mini. Tracking says it'll be here Monday. I actually ordered it because I have a pair of Caravela's coming next month. I LOVE the looks of the Caravela, and once I go to the 18XXX batteries, I don't want to have to have multiple chargers around so I'm passing down all my Ego stuff to my wife and the one child who smokes. Only thing NOT to love about the Caravela is the inability to check for shorts and Ohm's on my wraps. Plus, who wants to take a Caravela on the road? NOT a good idea. The ProV lets me travel light, no need to drag out my multimeter, etc. etc. and it feeds on the same batts as the Caravela. I'm about to experience Mod heaven.

I'm basically an efficiency nut. I love to drip, but sometimes it isn't practical. Like when I have a lot of work to do. So I don't want to be unscrewing atty's to screw on tanks, then vice versa, etc. So one will always just have an HH357 on it for dripping, and the other an AC9 for beauty, and convenience of being able to go hours without fiddling. But yeah, I'm pretty frugal in most other aspects of my life and vaping has brought me a lot of joy, so I'm allowing myself a little extra indulgence here. At a pack and a half a day savings, recovery time financially is not that bad.

The Provari is a freaking stainless steel flashlight with an atomizer connection on it. I've dropped mine a couple times now. Each time my stomach flops out of my mouth and my intestines take its place and before I know it I'm getting my nails done at the mall. But then I realize my provari hasn't got a single dent or scratch or nick on it and I'm right back on the couch in a stained t shirt eating smoked sausage. Its a great mod. Its such a good mod it really makes you think.. do i really NEED any more mods? and then you start rubbing your hands together and picturing a 2nd provari on your desk.

Awesome. Like reading something from Hunter S. Thompson. I love literary genius in a forum post.

18650 extension for mini by Kir Fanis.

there are aftermarket extensions for the minis to use 18650 batteries in them. do a google search gmypc.

I see. I know of the kir fanis extension tube. Sorry, I just misunderstood the post and thought 'they' meant provape.

Thanks!

Great product... really like the extensions they are putting out. Can't wait to get my hands on the 18650 telescope extension.

I'm a little disappointed in my mini. 3 days old, and the top little screw in the LED window disappeared. They sent me a new screw (another story there) but where the bottom one is, there appears to be a black block under the screw to anchor it. The top screw hole has NOTHING under it but the window, and won't thread. Had to send back a 3 day old provari, at my expense, and was told "We'll let you know if there are any charges for the repair". WTH? Really??

I'm looking forward to the Caravela's. Not much can go wrong with a fully mechanical mod, except maybe the Evolv Kicks but I can just take those out and it'll work JUST fine.

I got two of each type of batteries with the charger. oops, yep $275, not 175... double ouch!

This made me "ouch" for a second and a half.....till I stopped and thought about how much I was dropping PER MONTH on cartons of cigarettes...then I didn't feel bad...cause this thing will last forever...just spend a little to replace batts!

thats ridiculous moueix. when i bought my provari I thought the warranty included cosmetic damage. I can maybe see that they asked you to pay the shipping there. but the fact that they had the nerve to say we'll let you know whether or not we're going to charge you for the screws when its obvious that the manufacturer pushed the screw housing into the body or forgot it is ridiculous. are they paying to ship it back to you? I'd be so angry. a screw does not just pop out of its threads from user error.

I was just mentioning this from a different thread. I still think the Provari is the defacto device that many other vendors try to out due but no one as of yet has done. The Segeli(OLED Zmax) is close but there are still some things that need worked out to get there. I have been using Provari's for over a year now and I am glad I did.
