So true, I love when I get the stinkeye. Or even better "is that a hash pipe". Then it's my turn to I was a 1 $ 12 pad for 45 years, quit the day I got my pv...blah, blah, blah.
Question...ordered my mini, is it true that you only need 510 lr's, to produce my little cloud of vapor?
I've had to use Cisco's on my ego, which I love, but I'm sick of being sticky, carrying tissues.
I've already named my new little girl, cloud 9! Waiting impatiently.

I have a couple. Both under 2 weeks old.

Guess I was lucky but something I will say is they are stacked robo mods. Even the Mini is so well built.

Nope can't see the need for another vv tube mod. Now vv bottom feeder or rebuild able Atty is another story but 2 Vari's in a week has hung my budget for a while.

You will be ecstatic once you hold it. It was like dawning for me realizing that I didn't have to think about if I could do x y or z the ProVari just elegantly does it. Lr, sr in fact any r you are good.

Well from my understanding of Ohm and volts, a LR carto would be fine, the reasoning behind a SR or HR carto is that you can get a wider range of watts/power output to your carto which means you can fine tune them better than a LR carto, but i honestly dont see a reason to completely need the fine tuning, since the majority of the difference is actually trying to get lower power output to your carto... This info is from ohm/volts/watts knowledge and not from personal experience of trying LR, SR, and HR cartos on variable voltage though since i dont have a VV device yet.

Wow you got lucky there, and looks like you ordered your mini at the same time i ordered my provari. i skipped the extention cap, cause im only using 900 mah ego and the batt lasts me all day, but i couldnt pass up Black with the blue led. so those 2 options probably set my lead time back due to popular demand


I also ordered the Black Satin with Blue LED and I was told by Provape that I was first in the stack for mailing when they received the black tubes. They got the black tubes in on Friday the 23rd and I received my Provari on Monday the 26th. I ordered on March 14th at 11:57 right when the Mini and Blue LED went on sale.
 
I ordered a Mini a few days ago and actually just sent them a message asking why it still showed "processing". Being as I am over seas I have a long wait ahead indeed. The worst part is that I ordered some juice and other accessories to go with it, and I will probably have all that stuff here and waiting for a few weeks before my mini gets here. The second worst part is, I am stuck with this blu and analogs till it gets in.

On the bright side I went from a little over a pack a day down to 5-6 a day with the blu, hoping the mini can push me to kick the analogs totally.

So the provari is a VV Device, thats built like a tank and has more safety features than almost any electronic device you can think of, everyone that has tried it seems to love the Provari. The price might seem high to some, but in the long run it looks like it actually save money based on how well built it is and how long it lasts.

So now to the bad part! The worst part about the provari IS THE WAIT TO GET IT! its killing me, i know they have a 10-15 day lead time and that its not provapes fault they warned me, so i told myself ill just order it and forget about it till it just shows up... yeah right, everytime im at my house the status page gets updated every 20 mins, even though i know it hasnt even been a full week since i ordered it. The anticipation grows every day and drives you completely insane.


Sorry i really had to vent, anticipation is killing me, its almost worse than waiting for that analog back when i was a 1-2 pack a day smoker who hadnt smoke in 2 hours lol
Yah mine will arrive today :) ordered it onmarch 19 shipped on Mar 26 black satin blue led 4 batteries 18650 charger extra cartos extender cap first time caper also. Funny thing is I'm smoking more analogs because the wait is excruciating. I can't sleep either;)

Anyone have suggestiong on a really good tank to go with my provari, looking for something that has some size to it... and most of all Consistant, and flooding free... i have 2 DCT's atm (both are the same) and if i dont keep the liquid away from the punched hole, it will flood and leak like mad even when its just sitting around, no idea why though but atleast 5 ml of e-liquid have been wasted from it flooding/leaking.

I would go with the "Who's Your Daddy - Lil Mama Pro-cise"...you can see a picture of them here:

Well, if you need your Blu to work well for you till your mini arrives, my honest suggestion is grab a couple LR carto's (i used boge 2.0 ohm carto's) and the blu e cig did not completely suck, the main problem with blu e-cig is those are 3 ohm carto's on a 3.7 volt device, or possible even lower voltage, and they have low nicotine levels (for me anyway). The only other problem is the battery life which putting a lower ohm carto on will probably make the battery life worse but i am almost sure that if you put a LR carto on there with a higher nicotine liquid that it will get you almost completely off of analogs till your mini arrives.

Day 5 and still processing, :( im so not used to spending $250 in general, and then spend it and wait over a week for what you paid for... provape needs to find a way to supply the huge demand better, i think they should have seen this coming. Put out one of the best pvs out there and then end up with wait times, they knew it was going to be a huge demand on the amazing product so it sounds like they underestimated the demand a ton.

Yes waiting for that stuff is horrible. Another bad thing is that one buys one, receives it and a few days later you are thinking about buying another one. It seems that they cannot be alone. I am wondering if Provape is putting some chemicals on the bodies which makes you wanna have more of this PVs.

LOL naw its my first and last one, buying the provari was a huge investment, and litterally drained my bank account, live paycheck to paycheck and had been saving money little bits at a time and used the money to quit smoking so that i could maybe save some money in the long run

Got my Provari about a week ago. Best money I've ever spent. Yeah, the wait-time is excruciating but they do ship REALLY fast. It only took ten days total for me and it shipped from WA to NC. You'll definately enjoy it once you get it, just make sure you have A LOT of juice handy 'cuz this thing'll suck it like a vampire.

they are waiting for parts to ship in, thats why it hasnt been processed yet, looked at my bank and freaked out cause their charge went away, but contacted them and they said its still there the bank just took the reserve for the money away. and the only estimate they gave me on time to get the parts was "soon" thats a very relative term, soon to me means within the next couple hours, soon to someone else could mean within a week

The smart people do their research.. I thought I had too... Ego Tanks, A's & B's, about 7 months ago... stop laughing !! lol.

If I could have skipped that setup, I could have a whole "set" of Provaris, instead of only 2..
