Aye, you did...I distinctly remember hittin the Like button on that post. Pluid was/is nasty enough that it made my outer o-rings swell also. I was pressing so hard on the cap, I was afraid that I'd have some kind of accident involving the glass and multiple stitches on as many fingers. :unsure:

Yes, careful. The purpose of the washers is to keep the metal from touching the glass. As I was trying to smash mine together on a desk, it occurred to me that it was a very bad plan.

I done gone and did it!

Red ProVari w/ Red LED is on the way!

and...

A new shiny IBTanked 19mm XL w/ Red Anodized Caps and Bold Red Swirl, got the IBTipsy Rook drip tip too in Red.

So much red!

and...

Went ahead and picked up 25 Boge XL 2x1mm laser punched cartos from Sure Vapes. Good birthday this year :2cool:

Pics on arrival, of course!

Very nice and looking forward to your pics!! I swore to myself I was done buying for awhile but this ProVari Nation is deadly to the wallet. I'm already creating a new list and another Provari is one of them.

Pfft... Deadly?

Heck out here in Hawaii it was costing me $300 a month to smoke... So I easily justify any purchase as long as it's not more than what I used to spend in a month smoking cigarettes! :D


Just saw you live in Hawaii which I hear EVERYTHING is expensive there! I'd love to see it one day, if I could swim there. I could never do 9-10 hour flight unless someone gave me horse tranquilizers.

With some Xanax and vaping permitted on flights, you're there in a heartbeat! (I'm lucky as *bleep* to have family there!)

dam, I hope your b-day presents get to you posthaste!

Not pathetic. I don't like flying either especially when I have to change time zones. But Hawaii is one place that I will brave getting on an airplane to go to. I just love it there. Any island is fine with me.

I take 2mg to get to Florida and that's only a 2.5 hr flight. Pathetic, I kno :facepalm:

Did I mention getting extra washers? I did to someone recently - and I mean the flat washers between the caps and the glass, not the o-rings. The washers have been a weak point of IBTanks for myself and a few other people. My theory is that whatever the washers are made of reacts to some juices. What myself and the others reported is that if the caps are removed, when you go to reinstall them, the washer is unstable. It squishes out in-between the cap and the glass and is a major pain to get back in.

I talked to OCD about it months ago and he wasn't quite sure what I was talking about, which led me to believe it was juice related. He apparently doesn't vape reactive juices and I have killed more of his tank components than most people.

This exact thing happened to me with my very first IBT. Fortunately, I had extra washers. But it made me very worried about the set up. However, now I have 3 tanks and it has never happened again (at least not yet).

Did you order extra washers with your first IBT or did you just happen to have spares laying around? I need to configure another tank, some extra caps & IBTipsies to go along with my soon to be ordered IBT tank washers. :p

I ordered mine. You get extra o-rings with a tank set-up, but not washers.

So the new Red ProVari showed up today... But, as luck would have it, my post man didn't even knock on the door. My wife was home all day waiting for a knock, a ring, a horn honk, anything... Check the mailbox around 1 and there it is, a package slip saying we weren't there to sign for it... You dirty bass turd! You didn't even give us a chance! LoL, We supposed to be out by the mailbox when you drive up? In the amount of time he spent filling out the pink slip, he could have come and knocked and he would have found that someone was indeed here to pick it up...

Oh well, I'll swing by the Post Office this afternoon and hope they have pulled it off the truck. At least it's here... Just not in my hands yet... :evil:

The cartos are here... Nothing from IBTanked yet :/

Soon enough Chief, soon enough you will have your price in hand; lined up next his brother(s) (assuming it will have a companion of the same kind)...

According to the Sacred Text of Manual, Verse 2:

You shall not sleep; you shall not eat, as it mighth make you sleepy; you must at all times have a clear view of the Mail of Vape receptacle, least the postal carriage slip by unnoticed. Chasing after said carriage and screaming unintelligibly in pseudo-Latin is acceptable. Weeping is allowed, but only after the Sacred ProVari is in your hands and the tears are of gratitude. Bursting into tears because the tracking number hasn't updated in 3 hours is considered impudent.

I've highlighted the part that wasn't followed. These has happened to others that's why it's in the ProVarinati manual.

This is ProVari number two, but number one has already come and gone... This is a replacement :)

I sold my first one when I had stopped vaping for a few months... I thought I was done for good so I sold off everything... ProVari and Poldiac, my prized possessions now have new homes... But I will rebuild the fleet! Bigger and stronger!

My old ProVari, hand sanded and polished to a mirror finish

And my other baby the Poldiac

Gone but not forgotten! :D
