Help me spend my money on a ProVari w/tank setup

[bnrkwest]

My fav set up is a Provari and glass tank with SR Boge cartos, punch your own hole with a carto punch. I get my glass tanks here-
High Desert Ecigs They are gorgeous and very user friendly, easy to fill, easy to clean. I use a Slap Yo Mama fill tool for mine, it is fast and easy. Highly recommend both the glass tanks and fill tool. bnrk

I have both of the Provari, and I like the mini better.

I'm not following what you're talking about.

I was a little bummed. I went back to the VaporGod website because of how much I'm liking the Actic Wolf but the 30 percent off promotion was over even though it previously said it was going through Monday night. Oh well, $15.99 for 50ml is very reasonable and I can stand to wait with the 100ml I have on hand right now.

I got the Phiniac tank last night, it really looks well constructed. I also ordered the tank kit from Phiniac though I'm not sure how to use the tank filling tool yet.

At this point I'm just waiting on the ProVaris to show up.

I just got notice that the blemished chrome model I ordered shipped today. Unfortunately the batteries and charger are in the first order I made on 7/26 with the satin black V2 model so its a paperweight until that one shows up.

Phiniac tanks are great! But they are glass, so they aren't indestructible. Here's a link to Phiniac How to videos. You can watch some of those while you wait on your goodies, and you'll be a pro before they even get there!

Good boy! You're notifying us just like you should!
Looks like Provape beat the postal system to the punch though, since they are holding up the works on you being able to really play with your new beloved. Hopefully the rest will be shipped SOON!

 

[Done Deal DR]

Yep, and I'll commence the mail stocking barrage tomorrow. I have a feeling I won't have the satin black model with the batteries/charger before the end of the week which is deflating - I'm tired of this mini ecig already and its only been about 7 days.

Cheers.

Well that couldn't have been any easier. I just watched the carto punch and tank tool videos and I don't think I'll have any issues.

I'm not very clumsy and don't tend to break things so I'm sure I should be okay with the glass tanks. Hopefully I am not proven wrong here.

FYI...since you were asking me last night....I just found out that the eGo Twist 650 mAh battery is 3 7/8" tall, and the 1000 mAh battery is 4 3/4" tall.

 

[Done Deal DR]

Thanks. I decided I am going to wait for these ProVari's show up to see what kind of size I'm dealing with. It's weird, even just from what I have right now... stuff looks huge in online pictures and videos and I get it and its tiny. the size of the carto and tank surprised me. There's a chance my big mitts might be able to palm this V2 out and about with little showing.

 

[Kay1959]

What did you end up getting the mini or the regular ProV?

I have the regular ProV with the extension cap for the 18650 batteries. The length is 4 5/8" tall. It's not quite as big around as a C cell battery. The diameter of the device will not change between the mini and the regular, just the length....I think.

 

[Done Deal DR]

They are both standard length V2's with the standard batteries.

 

[Kay1959]

So they'll be 4 1/8" tall.

 

[Done Deal DR]

That's not much at all. Then maybe add about 3" for carto/tank/drip tip? I could probably stealth vape that.

 

[Kay1959]

With a regular ProV, a standard Phiniac tank with regular carto and a drip tip, it weighs in at a HEFTY 6 1/2".

*skipping thats what she said joke*

Sounds doable, not sure of the XL Boge and Phiniac will change the measurement that much. Looking forward to a better and more consistent vape.

 

[Done Deal DR]

Well I think I found out why the tank seemed so small... because it is! I ordered the XL V2 tank which should be about 44mm long (1.73") and the model I received is only 1 5/16" which leads me to believe I got shipped the regular tank that is listed at 34mm long. I even made sure I didn't do anything stupid, I double checked the confirmation order emails I received from them and it says XL Version 2. This tank makes the Boge XL's far too long to look pleasant, so I sent the Phiniac team an email to resolve.

I also went ahead and placed a pre-order for the Pro-V Cartomator SS tank with Sapphire tank.

 

[Done Deal DR]

I just got a response from Chris at Phiniac and am pleased with their speed and quality of service. He has agreed to send out the proper sized XL V2 tank without caps and I keep the regular sized Phiniac for the inconvenience. This is a double bonus since when I ordered the tank with SS caps, I opted to keep the delrin caps at a slight extra charge. Of course I probably won't use it since I'd need to make an order for regular sized Boge's but it's nice to have options... especially when they come at no charge.

The chrome V2 should be here tomorrow per current USPS stalking intel.
