I LOST my ProVari - need recommendations for new MOD

[The Ocelot]

The first was a Smoktech. Warrantied twice. The third time it happened I threw it in the trash.

There is a big difference between a sigelei Zmax and a Smoktech Zmax. Phil Busardo did an interesting video comparing the two. Why they are both called a Zmax is unknown.

Seriously, how did he lose his provari?

 

[Malarky]

Lol, losing my provari would be like losing one of my kids, they are always attached to my hip.

It's the same as with sunglasses.

$15.00 cheap sunglasses....have em for life.
$150.00 (or more) expensive sunglasses....lose em after a week. (or break em, or they "go missing" or....)

PV's...same thing.

Still "only" a 15 watt device. I get 3 amps at 5 volts (15 watts) with my $18.00 vv box mod......so meh.

 

[Xpertpeye]

Have a vamo good value, got it for $40

 

[SirSteve]

As for the Vapor Alley and Exhale vapor question, I have used both and they both ship quick with fair (cheap) shipping. I would go with however has the lower price on what I want.

I didn't read through all the posts but I highly recommend a silver bullet with the kick. This gives you the battery life of an 18650 and the variable wattage of the kick. I have 2 sb's and love them.

One does not simply lose a Provari. One becomes oblivious to the 5 lb weight in their pocket and the gagging & crackling sound their dog makes while chewing on large metal objects. The silent firing noise from below the couch cushion, your neighbor that looks too happy and keeps something hid behind his 2 fists, the 2 extra beers that arrive at your table by a random stranger at Hooter's with a vapor cloud above his head...all of these are clues. Keep searching....

 

[Tanks]

OH YEAH! Guys (and girls) I ordered a Pro Tank also!!!! I can't wait to try it I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Check the prices at Exhale Vapors!!!

Plus 10% off the coupon is at the top of the page.

ETA: I removed the link, since I was told someone got a virus warning. I've had the page open most of the day, but I have a mac, so probably wouldn't get that warning.

Oh, man if I had placed the order with Vaporalley literally 5 min before you posted this comment lol. Thanks anyways though!

Awesome, thanks for the threads! I'm really excited about getting this MOD, it shipped this morning!

I have this and 2 Provaris; a regular and mini. Both with extension caps.

The regular ZMax is junk, as is the Vamo. I've gone through 3 regular Zmax's and 3 Vamos. Every time with the ZMax it was the switch. The Vamos have all had button issues, one screen has fallen out, 2 read "low ohm" or whatever that specific issue is. Absolute .....

Seriously, if you can't afford a Provari, get the Segelei.

The Zmax(es) that broke, were they Segelei or Smok? What version were they (V1, V2 or what I ordered, V3)?

I can afford another Provari I just don't like the new look and I feel no need to get one at the moment. I might end up buying a ProVari mini down the road but I don't want another right now. I still have a standard gunmetal iHybrid as well, but I don't take that out of my house.

OP, you're the first person I've ever seen that says "I lost my Provari, LOL"

who does that?

then you follow that up by saying that the 2.5 is ugly..... Okay. So buy a v2, They're still in stock. What did you have before?

Maybe you should use that ihybreed you have in your signature?

makes me wonder..... Did you really lose your mod.... Or is this just a way to safely talk badly about a mod you don't like?

Don't mind me....I think I was a reporter in a past life....always asking the tough questions.

I LOVE the ProVari. But, I honestly have no clue where I left it. I stunt motorcycles and I think I forgot it at the parking lot last time we rode. lol I still think the ProVari is one of the best (maybe even THE best) MOD on the market and ProVape's customer service and warranty is top notch.

But, I have ONLY vaped a kGo 1100mah, a ProVari and a iHybrid. I want to try something new and I want to try

ProVape still sells the 2.0 if you prefer that body design.

Ah, I was not aware of that. The V2.5 Mini isn't bad I just don't like the 18450/500 sized ProVari; it looks like a dildo. I will end up getting another ProVari but at the moment I have no desire to own another, yet.

I have wanted a Kicked BOLT for a very long time. I'll probably be picking up a Kick soon so I'll look into the Silver Bullet. Thanks!

I haven't given up hope! It might be around my house somewhere but I've been looking for it for weeks and it still hasn't turned up. I either left it somewhere of I set it down somewhere and it got stolen; we may never know lol

 

[shatner]

At what point do you consider it's not the computer with the problem but the chair to keyboard interface unit?

For the record I have no ties to any of those (other than I'm going to try a Vamo) but 6 APVs of 2 types?

I've been vaping for 3 years. Those are the only 2 devices I've had trouble with. I've had over a dozen mods, fwiw.

IMO that's an issue with all the large mods. It was one reason I had dreams of a box mod, I just couldn't separate myself with that much money for someone to run a router to make a wood box.

I know very little about Vamo but I did search for reported problems before ordering. The ohm thing is generally user caused. I hadn't seen anything about button issues until you (after I ordered of course, but even searching that isn't turning up much).

An ecig not meshing with a user doesn't necessarily mean the ecig is junk or the user is inexperienced or incompetent.
Even with something like the eGo-C that has many issues reported it doesn't mean it is junk, it just doesn't mesh with those users. I have no problems with it, it meshes well with me.

I don't know anything about Zmax but Vamo has too many good reviews to be "junk". If it was it wouldn't work for anyone.
Something like a TV or motherboard that is known to use bad capacitors, they will fail.

 

[Malarky]

But don't all or at least most mods look like dildos? On the other hand it doesn't matter what other people think, as long as you are getting a great vape and not going back to stinkies.

I got a Segelei ZMax Telescoping MOD (Flat-top) in the mail on Saturday; I think it looks like a light saber handle LOL.

I ....ing LOVE this mod. I'm also vaping a new flavor - mt. baker's RY4 (80PG/20VG) in a Kanger CE2 clearo @ 6.0 Watts.

I'm really happy with this MOD and finding a new juice that I love just tops it off. I've been vaping only (yet again) since I got the ZMax!
