Got my "It's Shipped" email moments ago!! No location issue yet. I'm hoping a delivery by Wednesday? Vapin' Tell me, what is the first juice and tank you used? Do you have any Nautilus tanks? I've got to say in my limited vaping life, these are by far, the best I've used. I recommend the highly.

I haven't used any kind of tank on mine yet. No 510 threaded clearos (I'm not much of a clearo fan), no carto-tank because I'm down to my last carto and I want to save it for emergencies until I get new ones lol. I've been dripping, as usual. First thing I tried was Caramel Apple from The Vapor Chef in my Helios clone (which I thought tasted great before). The vape almost scared me it was so good :blush: Then I tried Honey Peary (also from TVC) in my IGO-L. I'm not a melon vape fan, but even that was almost vapeable to me while using the ProVari. I accepted the hype before, but I really didn't believe that it was that much better until I actually got it and tried it.

Now I just need to get a PT2 or something and some more cartos. I'll look into the Nautilus more. I was trying to remember that name the other day and couldn't, so thanks for reminding me! I want a Russian 91%, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to get one.

I'll try to get pics up later, I swear. I'm having lighting issues :glare: I would use my real camera, but I'm on a tablet so I can't put the pictures on here. I did take this one, though, so I hope it actually loads.


EDIT: OK, I tried lol. Not the greatest picture, but there it is. And I forgot to add the pic of the end cap.

I told you I got my shipping info today! It's in Washington.

Why did I think they were in Illinois??? Yours look awesome!! I need to get a poster with the correct wording for all the toppers. Clearos are basically tanks, that you fill? When you say you're using a dipper, is that like re-builder without the tank feed? You just keep adding drips to the top?
Anyway, Good for you! I'm happy for you!! If you can be slightly forgiving with a tanks system, I promise you will like the Nautilus.

I thought they were in Illinois, too, so don't feel bad. No idea why I thought that, though. You should get it Monday or Tuesday, at the latest I'm guessing!

A clearo is like the Kanger T3, Vivi Nova, iClear 30, etc. They're typically translucent, though some have a metal sheath and a window to view your e-liquid level. I just don't call those tanks because to me a tank is still one of those weird ego things that I never used, a carto tank or something like a genesis RBA. I know that technically clearos are tanks, too, I just can't call them that lol.

An RBA is a rebuildable atomizer, like the Kayfun, Russian, etc. An RDA is a rebuildable dripping atomizer like the IGO attys, Helios, etc. With any of those, the coils have to be rebuilt. For some, you can buy pre-made coils and wick setups, but it's not hard to learn how to do it yourself so long as you have a way to check the resistance and do your homework about them. Well, I'm assuming it's not that hard once you get the hang of it for the RBAs. I don't have any yet, just RDAs which are pretty easy to work with. So yes, I drip new drops to keep my wicks wet. My Helios clong will hold about 15 after I soak the wick, the IGO-L holds about 6-10 drops (it has a smaller deck and more shallow well to hold the liquid).

Then you have plain cartos, or you can get pre-punched/slotted cartos, or punch your own to put in a carto tank. There are also rebuildable things that you can put in some tanks, I think, like the Killer 705. I know nothing about those, but I'm seriously considering looking into them.

That's the basics, if it made sense and helped any. I've looked for a picture or something with the different kinds of toppers, but no luck. Before you know it, you'll know what people are talking about without even thinking about it.

The Nautilus is a clearo, but the glass ones like that are sometimes being called glassomizers, apparently. That's a reasonably new term for me. It's definitely on my list of toppers to check out. It looks pretty nice.

Strange how it works. I just wanted something heavy, reliable, and would last for years. I had no idea it was be such a pleasure to use. :)

Guess what, someone will eventually call you a Provari Shill like they do the rest of us. :p

I really do think the Provari has to be tried to fully understand the appeal. :)

With the extension cap for 18650 :D Sorry this one is so blurry. The light isn't great in here and I was having a hard time getting it focused.
EDIT: Ok, it looks way less blurry here than it did on photobucket. Still not capturing the color well, though :(


18650 is gooooood..... The endurance version. :p

oohh I like! I'm still on the fence though and likely will be for awhile(the cost thing), but yours looks really, really nice-congrats!

I know I'm just repeating what every ProVari owner says, but it really seems to be worth the money. The way I see it, my $99 SVD has stripped threads, so it's useless to me now (ego threads are fine, so my clearo-liking husband is taking it), my two Twists are long dead (about $50 invested there), and I expect the MVP2 will die eventually because the battery isn't replaceable (that's about $45). So for what I've spent on devices that aren't repairable, and will eventually have battery failure/some other issue, I only spent about $20 more to get my ProVari, which can be fixed pretty cheap if something happens to it, like the stripped threads issue, etc.

Those devices I listed were all purchased within about a year (egos in January, SVD in March/April, MVP2 in December I think), and only the MVP is still in use. So, it was either hand over the money for the ProVari now, or continue spending between $40 and $100 each year on a new device (or more than one, depending on how the MVP 2 holds up). I hated spending that much on one device, but I know that it's going to work for a long time, or at least be fixed quickly if something does go wrong.

Vapin...Thank you so much for the detailed information. Very nice of you. Personally, I think anything that has a TANK should be called a TANK. Except of course, for rebuildables. A carto are the ones stuffed with filler that you add juice to?
By the way, lovely manicure!
Now, off to the evic forum to search for the best battery type for it. I threw away that brown one but, I have noticed that my evic gets pretty warm after a few hits lately :(
Oh and, I just ordered an MVP. Why? Jeez, I'm not sure. I think mostly cause it was on PayPal Bill me Later?

I think I am just going to start referring to everything as a tank, except cartos and drippers. And yes, cartos are the metal cylinders stuffed with filler. That's my natural nail in the picture. After I made a few lifestyle changes, including dropping the cigarettes, my nails started growing stronger and longer. Now if only my hair would do that :rolleyes:

That doesn't sound good, about your evic. I hope things work out with it. And the MVP 2 is a good choice. No idea about the older version, but my MVP 2 is my secondary device now that I have the ProVari, and I still really like it. It's a solid device, and I hope you like it.

congrats on your purchase, mine is on the way as well. it wasnt back and forth over the cost for me, it was which apv to buy. there are a lot out there and many are expensive. the deciding factor for me was all the pics i see on here, people dont have many of the same apv's except the provari. its seems provari owners buy more provaris and others just buy more others. it kinda seems that way to me anyway.
