OH NO! I have a provari on the way and rumor has it that it'll be shipping out very soon. I had purchased two cisco 306LRs to tide me over til i get my provari. well the first one popped on day 7 and now my sencond one is hitting so very weak. i tried cleaning but it still hits like a wet noodle. What do i do? These lr atties "ruined" me. I can hardly tolerate the weak hit of standard atties on my ego batts. Ive been smoke free for months and now I'm worried about a relapse... and the worry just makes it worse!

I got some clearmizers the other day and on the first fill it was awesome! I refilled it and now it has this nasty burnt taste that almost makes me gag. I'm ready to just throw it away. Now I'm reluctant to fill another as i dont want to waste even more juice. Ugh... what do I do?:(:(

Yeah I dropped the ball here. I was really hoping the cisco 306 LRs would have lasted longer. I managed to get thru the day using a standard atty and dripping my Wyatt Earp... Ugh, its gonna be a long week. I didn't get a provari shipping notice so its doubtful I'll see it this week. Even if it shipped tomorrow, WA is pretty far away from MI, and all this snow will only slow things down more.

Yeah I don't know why. I "think" I have been keeping them wet, but I guess I really have no basis for comparison. I would drip into them as soon as the taste was off.

So I just took the driptip and disc like inner ring out of my clearo and its now vaping like a champ. I don't get it. I mean, I am happy that its producing clouds of delicious vapor even better than on the first fill. Could the inner ring and driptip be pinching it somehow and cutting off the wicking process?

Once you find hardware & juices that you like, make sure you start to stockpile them when you find them on sale. I generally have 40 to 60 attys, several batteries, extra chargers, and about 2400ml of juice on hand at all times. Not every one can afford to do this, but if you keep your eye out for sales by your favorite suppliers, you'll be surprised at how much you can save by buying larger quantities - and, you won't have to worry about being caught short.

As banjo said, stockpile. It's not really that hard if you spread it out over a longer period of time. Just order a couple extra atty's here, a couple of bottles of juice there, an extra battery another time. Tack them onto orders you're putting in anyway and it doesn't cost extra shipping. Before you know it you'll look at your stash and think, "I'm good". Banjo has me beat, but not by much so "I'm good".

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have been sorta stockpiling, but with my provari in mind. With the VV powerhouse I wont need LR atties. No sense when I can crank the volts and get awesome performance out of standard atties. I have so far picked up 8 brand new standard atties and i have 4 or 5 that are getting weak, but I believe that the provari will breathe new life into them. Luckily I was able to get my clearo working. Something must have been pinching or in there too tight. I have been vaping it with the inner ring and no tip and its been performing great! I guess I got lucky. (just hoping I dont get a splash of hot juice on the tongue, ouch!)

I do try and order things when I can catch a sale. I am waiting for FSUSA to run another sale so I can pick up some 60ml bottles of my favorites. I just bought some more clearos on the classys and when they get here I'll have 17 of them, 8 new standard 510 atties. I also have a few 510 cartos and about a dozen 808 cartos with an adaptor as well. I am hoping that my provari will make these more useful as I found them to just be too weak on my eGo batts.

And more good news! I got my shipping notice for my provari! If I am lucky I'll have it in my hands by the end of the week!
