Gourmet juice junkies and random rambles

[Cranky99]

I don't need a comparison I just like to hear first-hand reviews from people who have the device. 98% like it. Lavender mentioned the warranty, which is a big part of why I want to buy it direct from them. I've seen a few in the classy's but honestly, the price isn't that much better and I am always wary of buying used things. Sure they may say that they are just selling because they don't use it/need money/etc but you never know. And there's no satisfaction guarantee on here. Besides, If I'm going to shell out that much money, I may as well buy it brand new and get the color/etc I want. I would be getting the biggest size/18650 cap as well.
The fact that Provari is coming out with a new one may not interest me... I do not sub ohm for the most part and the rare times that I do, I have mechs for that. What's the point in having mechs if I have a Provari that would do the same thing? I'd rather have separate functions. The button isn't a huge issue to me as I don't really tinker with settings once they're there. I don't know. I'm not going to base when I get one around the anticipation of a new Provari, which I have no idea when it will come out or if it will be available. (I'm impatient and I don't want to deal with supply/demand issues that go along with new/in demand devices) It will be based on when I can afford it and feel comfortable shelling out that kind of dough. It will most likely be around my birthday... Which is mid-July, so not that far away. It IS my big 3-0.

With the provari being variable voltage only, you do adjust it based on your coil. Unless you are always using the same thing with the same resistance and every juice is good for you at the same voltage. I find myself adjusting it for different juices even using the same resistance cartos.

WOW lot of stuff going on there em. I don't know why but I love it when I introduce someone to something they love!! hehe



The omega looks like it would be weird to use
That's also why I love my MVP's the ohm reader on them is just darned useful and I just put my atty on it and build. I don't even own a real multimeter.

Nectar is the bomb diggity.

The OmeGa is a lot more comfortable to use than the bottom fire devices I have. I like the top fire or the side button way more. The Bod is a top fire mechanism too and the Poldiac and the Provaris have the side buttons. I reach for them in this order Provari, Provari, OmeGa, The Bod, Poldiac, and the Kamrys. Oh and then the Stinger. The Stinger is fussy - fires about 75% of the time and that's only because I figured out its quirks, will only work with certain batteries because it has no inner spring to hold the battery tight, and the edges are sharp. I'm a chain-vaper. I need comfort.

The Kamrys are great except for the bottom fire part. They hit hard and they fire 99% of the time. For around $30 they are totally worth it. I think it was someone on this thread that linked me to them in the first place.

I have one stupid dislike for the OmeGa and the K101 - they don't fit in any of my vape stands. They are 1 1/8" diameter.

Same with my K100. It's the only one I have that doesn't fit. Well, my only tube mod. My MVP and REO's stand up with no worries though.

A friend of mine in Texas got brutally raped by a guy she met on line. I feel so sorry for her. I told her something didn't sound right about that guy. But she was careless and let him take her out to eat in HIS truck. He did what he did and she escaped with her life. Had to walk a few miles back to her car. Some men are animals. I really wanted to find the guy and torture him. Still do. Sorry I know that sounds awful.

Yes, the reputable online dating sites will warn that on the first meeting, only do so in a well frequented place & part ways there the first time. If that's a problem with anyone, then the person likely isn't worth meeting.

Also, both parties should agree on background checks, it cost only $50 (less for one search) & may save your life. Or one may have something to hide, like paying alimony/child support or may be known as a scammer. Lots of stuff can be found out for free, it's just best to get the data all in one nice package.

Of course, it's safer to date locally, there's places to meet good people, but still do a background check.

I'm so sorry to hear that. That just breaks my heart. I think it's normal to get depressed about those things. You love her and want her to be able to enjoy everything she can with you and your children. I'm on the corporate healthcare side now but I used to be a RN (mainly in trauma ICU and CVICU) and my hubs is in the medical field too. It's gotten so ridiculous these days with narcotics. Everyone that takes them seem to be lumped together which is absolutely horrifying. Your wife needs them, yes she is dependent, yes she will most likely be on them for the rest of her life, but under the circumstances...that would be the least of my concerns. I've seen people go through withdrawals and it's terrible, but I don't think she will have to go through that.

The problem is that those that need them, like you wife are lumped into those that go to pain clinics to get their fix. They have corrupted the system and made it difficult for those that actually need them. Plus, it's talked about in such a negative way that those that need them are made to feel like addicted and that's not right.

My hubby is an Anesthesiologist and he has family members that try to prevent their loved ones from having narcotics during and after surgery. He mainly does major surgeries (heart transplants, open heart surgery, liver transplants, etc) and it's just not possible to do procedures like that without them. So, the hospital has to override their wishes or else they can't have the surgery.

I've also seen people that are terminally ill and have months to live, and their family members try to refuse to give them pain meds. It's unbelievable. So, they want to have them suffer in the last months of their life? Who cares if they become addicted? It's about comfort care at that point. I had to get out of the patient care end and to the corporate side because of things like this.

Sorry for the novel there. You're doing the right thing. I'm glad that she's as comfortable as she can be. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I met my wife when I was eighteen. I had lied about my age to get a job running a nite club. Met her and did not tell her my true age for months, and by that time we were all ready in love so she could not dump me lol. We have been married for 20 years this August. I have never ever considered leaving her. Not to be a jerk but I honestly don't know what she would do if I was not here. She needs a lot of help doing normal things and I don't resent her at all for it. We said for better or for worse and we both really meant it. Never really have had a big argument. We ..... and moan and can be snippy with each other all the time, but I have never once gone to bed angry with her. We talk, we communicate our feelings and we accept that neither one of us is even close to being perfect.

I know that when we have a busy day that she is going to be grumpy the next day because of pain. She has such a positive personality and even though she is in constant pain she finds a ton of joy in life. I met my soul mate when I was young and was smart enough to grab a hold of her and not let go. Watching her in pain is the hardest thing in my life. I will support her any way I can, and always will.

We had run out of options with no one wanting to touch her back and was told that opiates were her only option, but we have finally found a great Dr. even though he is two hours away. He has tried things that no one else was willing to and has made her quality of life much better.

Do you like your Provari? Most people in here are indifferent or don't like them. (REO lovers... but I need VV and don't prefer to drip) I've been looking in getting one as soon as I have the loot and like to ask the people who have them how they feel.

I'm not Tina either but I do love my Provari, it's super high quality and the vape is excellent. I managed to refuse to buy one for 2 years because I hate the hype and it seems silly they should cost so much more than other mods, but once I caved I do see their worth. I went through a ton of Zmaxes and others like them and they just don't compare. If I was made out of money I'd probably have a few, but I'm not, so I really only use it in the house when I'm not being hyper or doing housework or anything that might make me lose or hurt it. I use my MVP 2.0s 99.5 percent of the time. I have 8 of them and all together they didn't cost much more than the one Provari. Tbh they vape almost exactly like the vari plus they have the benefit of A.being vw B.being flat so they don't roll off desks and C.having twice the battery life of the 18650s. If I had to choose what to take to The Desert Island I'd take the MVPs but if money was no object I'd probably pick a Provari. =)

I have Variable Wattage on my SVD and I NEVER use it. I use the voltage. I prefer it... so that's not an issue.

[firephly]

I like Vapor Chef but am already sitting on a bit from them as it is. I want to try new places. I am pretty sure I'll end up caving if all these places are having sales. My will power is not that strong.
The stupid thing that I've been noticing is that I don't have as much of a problem spending money on many small things which add up to a lot.... But am very resistant to making one big purchase. Like, I keep buying all these juices, attachments (drippers, Protank heads/attachments, tanks/etc) which have, just in the last couple of months, added up to the cost of a Provari.... and I know this... I'm aware of this while I'm making my purchases. But my justification is that $20 here and there is easier to be without than $200 all at once. Does that make any sense? Is anyone else like this?

I'm really bad that way, i'll nickel and dime myself to death before realizing i could have just bought one expensive awesome thing instead of a bunch of cheap not so awesome things

All those sales i posted and only bought one bottle of juice so far! I look at the sales, then look at the juice i already have and think...do i really need to be buying more juice???

I am gonna get a couple things though, i mean some of the sales are too good to pass up, i still want to try the pecan pie from southern steam, and couple from vape kitchen

i think i'll do the vapor hut order, there stuff is inexpensive and it's a great deal on top of that and i've been so curious about them plus they have good reviews on the site

then there's a bunch of other stuff i want that i'm trying to talk myself out of, then there's that thing where if you buy anything at craving vapor you get a free 30ml of axiom, but i just realized that it doesn't say if you get to choose which one? hmmm...

i'm still curious to try that Versailles at coval too but i know it'll be mild i suppose but it just sounds so good
"Tobacco blend with a sweet kick. Notes of berries, tea, and rich smoky tobacco all combine for a wonderful light vape."
a "light vape", if only it was those flavors and strong, i think i need to talk myself out of that one

also want to try the crimson & clover (cinnamon brown sugar) Reviews: Crimson & Clover - $4.25 : Namaskar Vapes!, Quality Premium E-Liquid By Vapers For Vapers

oh yeah i still wanna try altcig

I think that Adirondack is gonna post a sale soon, i really want to try Stanwix Adirondack Vapor - Stanwix

I'd like to try vaperite's mad rabbit (the coconut graham cracker)

has anyone had vapure? How about Stratomyst?

I should get some more DIY flavorings on sale too

just too many things i want to try....

this also seems like a good deal:

All input is welcome... does not need to be Tina. LoL. I'm not Tina either.
So does the quality in the actual vape improve with it? Can you tell the difference in the vape of a Provari opposed to other devices? I'm just curious to hear. (I'm already sold on the fact that it's worth it... I'm just cheap and like to buy things when it's right... if that makes sense) I am weird.

I've only bought one thing in all the sales also. I'm kind of glad that most of the stuff I wanted was sold out at Elevated. I saw this subscription thing though and was thinking about it. I don't understand the part about choosing your bottle material though.

The vape on the Provari (and the MVPS too) is more consistent and smoother than Zmaxes, SVDs and those. I heard Phil Busardo go on about it with the scientific explanation a long time ago but I didn't really get it until I got it. It's not a hit you in the face difference but it's real.

But most brands don't have a choice. What if I tell them I want something from Alpha Vapes (it says you pick what you want) and I say I want plastic...do they repackage it? Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I thought that too do they repackage or are they getting it in 5 gallons buckets and using dirty kitchen ware to transfer it. Idk I think crazy things like this!

Consistency, quality and durability are what I'm looking for... So it still sounds like it's my best bet.
I love PBusardo. I know some people don't because he talks a lot but I don't mind. He's also super nice and usually responds to his comments, which is a silly thing to care so much about... But he has a LOT of subscribers and many YouTubers don't respond to comments so it's a big deal to me. I've also heard nothing but good things from anyone who has met him. He seems to be genuinely dedicated to the vaping community. GrimmGreen is ok too but idk... For some reason I gravitate towards Phil.

That's how I feel about my job. It was absolutely dead until about 7pm... and the a hole that was supposed to close decides that he's "sick" randomly... so he gets sent home to leave me and ONE other driver to deliver for the rest of the night. Mind you, there were 8 deliveries on the screen at the time, one of which was ALREADY late when he decided he wanted to leave... So I got stuck taking the super late one (luckily they were drunk and didn't even notice/care) But really? And what will management do to this guy who's called off 9 times just this year? (yes, since January) Nothing. If he were a "She" she would have been fired. The only people who have been fired since I worked there is 2 females and 1 dude that just flat out never showed up... But even then, he had to 'no call, no show' for like 3 weeks. Whereas the female did it like 2 times and was gone. So sexist there. It's not fair.

It looks like you can just filter your choices to companies that offer one or the other. They aren't re bottling it. I thought like you did, though.

My memory is shizer!

Mine is terrible. It's the family joke but it really bothers me. I can completely forget things within a couple minutes sometimes.

It makes for fun mail days though, I get stuff I forgot I was expecting. The only way to make sure I remember is to put the tracking number in my usps app on my phone as soon as I get it. Otherwise, I will have no idea. Case in point, I have a trade on it's way but no clue what's in it.
