I think the provari is nice, but over-rated. I am a clutz and made short work of spilling soda on my provari. It no longer functions. I keep forgetting to send it for repairs. I like my 200.00 dollar paper weight. It reminds me of why I stick to full on mechanicals now,and cheap apvs. They are clutz-proof to a degree. Now if I spill a soda or drop it in the toilet,pool, whatnot. I'm out a battery, but the rest can be salvaged. And cheap apvs are replacable for not alot of dough. I wish people steered me to a mechanical,live and learn I guess. If you are a clutz keep all liquids away from it, that aren't meant to be vaped.;) I need a fully waterproof mod.. Submarine mod. Now there's a idea. A otter box for a provari.:p

if i wasn't currently in a vaping funk and too busy trying to find a delivery system that actually worked for me (i feel myself being pulled kicking and screaming into the world of rebuildables)...my list would consist of:
(in no particular order...)
bottom feeder box mod of some kind
mechanical of some kind
zmax

did you mean provari? evods work fine on my vamo...

No, the Vamo is a bit of a hit-or-miss affair with Evods. The original specification must have just been barely adequate to accept Evods. The Vamo is made in factories all over the place on different equipment, and there's enough variation that it can go either way - either just working, or the well is *just* a fraction not deep enough. I have one of the latter. Absolute only problem I've had with the Vamo so far, and not a biggie because I will mainly be using the 'vod on the twists in any case.

I believe this issue has been addressed in the Vamo V3 and Evods will work fine on all of them, plus the top ring screws off for easy cleaning of the drip well (Yay!). (Just wish it wasn't so darned ugly).

Oh grrrr

Don't you hate it when you can't find a vendor who has everything you want and everything you want is small so the shipping would cost more than the small thing you wanted?

Buy something big as well, then you won't be so worried about the shipping. :)

I have a V2, but no EVODS (tank cracking issues). Some of my CE4 clones work on it, some don't...go figure...but I'm very careful with it, it's threads look a bit on the delicate side.

GUys I forgot to mention earlier I got my Smok Pyrex DCT tank today. I LOVE this thing. Regardless of what someone said in another thread my boge XL X16 cartos from surevapes fit it just fine. THe flange fits in just like a smoketech carto would. I added a punch to it for my thicker juice (using the SUpco BPV-31 Bullet piercing valve to punch it) and it slid in just fine with no leaking. That punch really does not deform the cartos at all.

Decent size and its glass. Oh and did I mention 12.99 pricetag? Yep I am loving it.

Waaaaay cool. Dog with short legs. I don't think our various government environment and wildlife departments let us import and keep them however.

One must always keep in mind that very few animals, especially undomesticated ones, have the slightest clue what housebreaking means - except for furniture.

my punch came from amazon :) Dirt cheap and it doesn't deform the carto.

I know where you are coming from I destroyed about 5 cartos trying to get a good punch with the typical ring punch you see everywhere. That is what sent me out looking for something else.

i can't believe that thing is sold everywhere! i tried it on an ikenvape (that was dry hitting despite being primed, bathing in the tank for an hour and being underclocked on volts)...when my boges come in i will try it on at least one.....and order the supco something or other (it's on my amazon wish list)

My prepunched boge F16 cartos (with flange) are fine on thin liquids as they come out of the box. Unfortunately I vape 50/50 so I have to add 1-2 more punches or I get the dry hit and eventually burnt carto. The liquid is just too t hick for those tiny tiny holes.
