No extras here and both bubble wrapped......which I'm just fine with. At such a low price and them being "seconds" (although it took me an hr. to find the flaw on the Sangria which you really can't see unless looking under a magnifying glass and I still haven't found the flaw on the Blue Lagoon), I don't expect "star" treatment. :)

I believe ScandeLeX already has a couple Pearls and can help you compare. I suspect the pictures don't do them justice.
By the way, my first order came in yesterday and I am happy I took a flyer on a matte White/Black hybrid. I've stuck mostly to black and silver, but this mod is a knockout! The shaded crop circles have never looked better.
Well, rec'd my new Pearl White mini about 2 hrs ago. I was cheated. I did NOT receive my loyalty card! Those cards have been a staple of every shipment from ProVape & I have all of mine.
ProVape if'n ya list'n, I want my loyalty card!!! ;)


Now that THAT'S out the way- Upon removing the Sacred Wrap of Bubble I immediately knew the finish was differemt from my others without having them side by side by side by side :) to compare.

This one is more of a gloss white whereas my others are......*thinking how to describe*.....more of a flat paint texture. Due to this, none of my extension caps match- although I could give it that glossy flat look. :?:

I took a bunch of pics in an attempt to capture the difference. Don't let that blue fool you. It's the flash from the cam- the blue is dull (flat) compared to the white which is super glossy.

Crap. I am a sucker for a great deal.

I just ordered GMZ and White Pearl 2.5's, a Black/red Mini, a tank ring and two wraps. $105 including shipping.

I guess I NEED a dozen ProVape mods.:confused:

I am really digging my 2.5's and Classics, so my justification is that some of my 200w recently unused mods will be jettisoned out soon.:)

We think the same. :)

I did buy 2 gold Zenkote 2.5's and found a black/red in the classies for super cheap a few weeks ago. Both look fantastic. I also have a Satin silver Mini and it also looks great.

I have my eye on a GMZ in full size and Mini and maybe a blue or pink for my wife. The only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger is that I don't really think I NEED 7 2.5's. Need vs. want as usual but I am a sucker for a great deal.:eek:
See what a couple of Patrons and Coronas do to my judgement in a day? ;)

My wife and 3 year old daughter helped me pick out the colours, so all is good. :p

Thanks for the heads up on the sale, can't believe I purchased a device for $50+ that I once paid $200 YEARS ago.i would have never found out about it if it weren't for this thread.


I need to ask what is the most OPTIMAL and best set up for the provari 2.5 at this point in time? I remember using mine with a nautilus tank years ago before selling it but I bet that use is outdated now.

That depends on what your definition of optimal and best is. Nautilus is still a strong contender for many, due to it's reliability, ease of use, and consistency. Nowadays there is the Kabuki, which takes the Nauti coil to new heights. A Russian 91, Kafun, etc is a great option for re-builders. Many choices exist in atties to compliment the 2.5 ProVari.

By optimal and best I mean what is a setup that fully compliments the provari in terms of functionality and takes advantage of what the 2.5 could do. I should also add, when going with a rebuildable with a provari what are people building their coils at with what etc


I remember years ago people used those Russians and kayfuns and wrap 28g kanthal...is this still a thing? I remember those tanks being so damn rare and expensive at the time and I'm sure they probably go for less than $30 now for the real ones lol
