i totally answered a lot of these questions in previous posts...
The vivi nova has replaceable heads. You can replace them. They can be replaced. They aren't cartomizers. There is no cartomizer in a clearomizer. The vivi nova is a clearomizer tank. The large vivi novas fit a big battery mod. The minis r closer to the eGo in circumference.

I'm not understanding the frustration. You have 10000 mods to chose from. I listed every single one I could remember off the top of my head, and their availability. We've told you what the difference from a clearomizer/vivi nova is from a cartomizer tank. Why would you feel like you NEED to be frustrated about high quality mechanical mod waiting lists when we've told you that the provari is a fantastic device. The Zmax, the Vamo, the Evic, the Provari, the Lavatube from Volcano, these are all fantastic devices. Whats the problem in picking one?

What is it that your looking for? Why is this so hard? You pick a mod, buy it, put some carto tanks in your cart, buy juice, and vape? If you want, try the carto tanks AND the vivi nova tanks. I like both for different reasons but I use clearomizers and rebuildables most often. This isn't supposed to be this hard. Its easy. You have a billion choices and they are all pretty good. Is it because you remember a time in vaping when every device potentially could disappoint us? They don't disappoint us anymore. They all work. You just have to pick one.

yeah, you are right. I'm making too big a deal out of this and overthinking. I'll probably go with the provari mini. The Z-atty pro I'm assuming is pretty much the best I'd assume by the price. I hope it works better than the vivi mini's I have now.

Thanks for your help guys. I really need to sit down when I'm not working and go over this thread again in peace. Thanks

    This molehill is getting awful big!

    Hell, they all work. You will have to decide for yourself which one floats your boat.

    You put the O in overthinking. :) But I know just how it is, I'm kinda the same. I probably spent a week researching for hours and hours before I bough anything. And I've bought a lot over the last month, and learned a lot as well. So I'd say get the Provari, don't waste any money on eGo stuff, go right to something high quality.
    As for the atty, let me suggest an Aga T2(or T+ as is called in the US), and I recommend you set it up with a silica wick as a start, it's incredibly easy to setup that way, and vapes really good, that will get you started with a hi-end vaping experience, and you can worry about dealing with SS mesh wicks later.

    Thanks Tankman, I appreciate the help. I'm watching videos every night and educating myself on this stuff. I've yet to find a good video on rebuilding an atomizer. I'd like something like this.

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...25d1360718949-high-end-vape-setup-dtntlng.jpg

    I have the Kgo and the vivi carto clear tanks, but they suck. I don't know if it's the voltage or what but they do not work as well as the atomizers that came with the thing. But it's a mess, adding drops constantly. I'm tired of the thing already. I'm just looking for something small like pictured. With a small tank that is the same or smaller width then the battery holder (whatever that's called - or the mod itself)

    I have no problem with rebuilding. I had an initial bad attitude about all of this. Quitting smoking has me in a bad way these days and very short and not much patience. But the fact is that I do love to tinker. That's why I'm into RC cars, play guitar, band, etc.. All I do is tinker. But what bothers me is stuff that does not work. If it does not work than don't offer it for sale, that's all I'm saying.

    If I have the right parts and know how to rebuild something, I have not a single problem with tinkering. It's part of this hobby and I want to get into it. But I'm way too aggressive as far as getting an attitude about not knowing everything in 4 days. But at least on day 10, I'll know more than I know now :)

    So I've been looking at the lavatube. I like how they sell everything compatible right on the site. No guesswork. But I'd rather go with the Provari mini, as it seems like a more solid unit. This thing will be with me all the time. The issue is, I don't know what tankomizer would be compatible with the provari mini. I don't want a fat tank that is going to look like a huge object on the mini. Want something that is the same width or smaller.

    I would also like the ability to drip. So, I assume if I got the provari mini, I'd need an atomizer made for dripping and a drip tip as well.

    That's my thought on this currently.

    Thanks for the help.

    OK, thats easy then!! Get the Provari mini (also get the extesion cap to run an 18500 battery--you'll be glad you did!!!) Also on the Provape site is th Z-Atty-Pro. It is genesis style rebuildable atomizer (if you are dead set on a Gen). The Z atty Pro with fit flush and seamless atop the provari (there are specifically built tofit Provaris).

    As far as dripping goes, get a few 510 dripping attys and a ew drip tips!! Pick up some juice and your set then!!!

    Welcome to vaping:)

    Thanks man. What is the difference between a dripping atomizer and the atomizer that comes with the kgo? I mean I drop a few drops onto the mesh on the kgo atomizer and then fill the cotton or whatever material on the mouth piece. That's not dripping? I watched a video on youtube and the guy did essentially the same thing except he didn't fill the mouth piece.

    So, everything I put on the provari mini will be 510 right?

    I agree cheap might be good but if it does not work out of the box?. He has no experience to draw from so how would he know anything about air draw. I think items that work properly is a better place to start for him, just my opinion.

    you are right. some of my friends started with ego-t tank atomizers and went back to smoking because of the leaking issues it had

    Hi James,
    Anything with 510 threading will fit on a Provari.
    A dripping atomizer is just an atomizer. You can buy them already made, and you can buy rebuildable atomizers. The difference between the two is that one eventually gets tossed, and the rebuildable is the one you put your own wicks and coils in.
    Then there are rebuildable atomizer/tanks - same principal but they hold more juice. I am using an AGA-T+ right now - its a rebuildable atomizer/tank that holds 3 ml.

    Then there are hybrids. Hybrids are pvs with a reduildable atomizer/tank attached. To use these you need to rebuild (add wick and coil) the atomizer. You can't use anything else on these except the attached atomizer/tank.

    Some people pick up rebuildable atomizers first off, but others have a real learning curve with the. The Genesis type involve making a wick from stainless steel mesh, finding the right wire that suits you - most people use kanthal wire. Then there's the wire thickness and resistance. Set up is not too hard, but the difficulty can be in getting hot spot on the coil and having shorts.

    I'd suggest you buy some ordinary 510 atomizers that aren't rebuildables. And then if you want a rebuildable get one too, but you'll have the ordinary ones as a back up while you tinker.

    I think pretty much all vendors sell 510 atomizers. Like these:
    510 Bridgeless Atomizer - 2.5 ohm
    With these kind you just drip and vape. You can just change the flavor, or you can rinse then out between strong flavors if you want.

    For rebuildables dripping atomizers, the Phoenix is a good starter I think:
    Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer - V2
    I found this video useful when I rebuilt the Phoenix:
    Phoenix Rebuildable Atomizer Mini Review and Rebuild Tutorial - YouTube!

    For rebuildable atomizer/tanks - there are different ones. The AGA-T+ is a Genesis type that is popular at the moment. I didn't find it too hard:
    AGA Tiamat PLUS - Rebuildable Atomizer
    There's a whole thread on them here, and I suggest reading before buying - to find out what you need and what you need to do:

    All the high end mods are high in demand you could look at Super T's web page you can order but there will be a wait for it to come in. some sites to look in to are cloudsofvaper.com, houseofhybrids.com, and for the one with the ship on in that would be the The Caravela that will be hard to get and iv been looking in to how to get one and i cant find a site that sells them. good luck and happy searching

    I emailed Caravela and got a response in 5 minutes. Get in line bub. One year wait. So, what I'm going to do is wait till the entire planet has one of those then order one. Or something else.
    1 year wait for a flashlight tube? Come on. Granted they are bad .... When I get my initial mod setup, maybe I'll throw down the cash and just forget about the thing. But right now I need something to start with as far as a mod. So I'm still looking but will most likely get the provari.

    Precisely why I won't bother with one. I'm not willing to get in line for a year for something like that.

    i just sold both of my Provaris, and now own 3 Curves (from Nhaler) and 3 EA mods. I would have to say if you're going to get into RBAs the Provari will be OK but not the best.

    I much prefer the Curve and EA with an nice dripping RBA (i prefer the IGO L)

    Without a doubt the best setup i have ever used is these two devices with the IGO L

    I prefer them because it allows me to vape a .9 ohm coil at around 19 watts at times, something the Provari could never do.

    If you don't forsee yourself using RBAs or low ohm coils, the Provari will be fine, however, it has electronics in it that overtime can be faulty. Yes the Provari is a great MOD and has great serviceability however, a fully mechanical (like the Curve or EA) can be serviced by you for pennies. That's my .02 and i'd say for me there's nothing better than a quality mechanical with an RBA. but to each his own

    Dude, I don't forsee me understanding 3/4 of what you wrote. How one even goes about figuring out what wattage they need is beyond me. You know what I wish? I wish there was 1 frign device and that's it.
