Bought my black mini on the classifieds. It comes with a Tatroe Base, Hippo, Twins, and a drip tip. :rickroll:I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting on my goodies. And no mail on Monday. Bummer.

Anyways, I know that a v2 Hippo was recently released. My question is what is the difference between old and new version. Thanks. :)

Hippo1 covers the ProVari taper to create a flush and flat-top, and has a 510 female receptacle with air slots much like the stock 510 for air flow. The Hippo2 is similar, but has an air passage through the side that can be adjusted by twisting the outer mass. Since the air comes in through the side and then the bottom of the tank, the tank is allowed to be fully seated flat on the flat-top.

Ok, thanks preloader. By the way, you are advancing too fast. Gimme a chance to catch up will ya? :p

I just have to try EVERYTHING for myself. Just seeing pictures online doesn't help me decide if I like something or not. Once I settle on a preference, I'll likely clear out a bunch of stuff. I'll be sure to offer it to our people before I go public in the classifieds.

Preloader, you are a man to admire. I feel the same way. The Provari is such a joy to vape you gotta try the other stuff cuz you know it is not only going to look better on it but operate better too.

Hippo seems a waste for rba's, well at least none of my rba's feed air from the stem. All mine have side air intakes. that's one of the small details I love about my rba, no more leaks onto the 510 connector head. Now the beauty ring would be sweet, but they are either to spendy or out of stock lol. Oh well, have to wait till notified. Looking at end cap extensions too. Probably just end up with the provape one, but like to have options.
