Ok here are some things on my list before I go ahead with the purchase....for tanks look at J-tank, Alu Liquinator and a Phiniac 3ml tank....You guys could add more to the list if needed to get me started with a provari.

I can't believe that I, of all people, forgot to have you look at the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tank-reviews/349222-ibtanked-pyrex-glass-tanks.html :shock:

These are pyrex cartotanks that are tough and inexpensive. Prices start at less than $20. I have seven of these, each with their own flavor. The diameter of the slimmer tanks is the exact same as the Provari's cone tip for a natural aesthetic look. At this price you can get two or three tanks for the price of a Phiniac.

Ok here are some things on my list before I go ahead with the purchase. I know I'll also need long lasting batteries a extended end cap, and charger.

get a drip tip

good cartos by boge pre drilled?

for tanks look at J-Tank, Alu Liquinator and a Phiniac 3ml tank

some juices
555
cuban
and some ry4 have a decent smokey flavor
some people like USA blend from dekang.

You guys could add more to the list if needed to get me started with a provari.

Those are all pretty sound suggestions.

Also make sure you get a spare battery or two. Waiting for a charge is no fun.

I would get a couple of atomizers and not worry too much about a tank right off. It might take some time to get a juice you like and until then atty's are the best way to sample things. You don't want a full tank of midnight love then wake up in the morning and say what was i thinking....not that I have done that.

Lol that was funny.

Definitely get some atomizers to sample juice. My preference is a 1.7 ohm bridgeless 901 with a drip shield to prevent leaking.

I use 1.5 ohm SmokTech XL dual-coil DCT pre-punched two hole cartomizers with my Provari so I can also use them on my eGo-Ts (to get decent wattage).

I have two IBTanked 19 mm Clear Tubes with Stainless Steel Caps with four more on the way. I've used and have the 6 mL and 3.5 mL SmokTech tanks too. The SmokTech tanks are fine, but I'm currently on a glass kick (replacing the SmokTech with Pyrex and putting my juices in glass containers in the refrigerator).

To test out sample juice flavors, dripping on an atty is most people's first choice. I for one never got the hang of it, so I found another method.

I use the relatively inexpensive (typically less than $10 per 5-pack) ce2/ce3's. Unlike a cartomizer whose polyfill will retain a juice's flavor, these devices are reusable for different flavors. Just empty and refill with the next flavor.

Hello Been a smoker since 16 years old, I am now 32. I want to quit smoking analogs and start vaping. I want my first purchase to become my last purchase so I am planing ahead to try and score my self a provari. Any recommendations would be welcomed. Thank you.

Yes. Just do it. I did. You won't regret it. I love mine. I got it my first week as a vaper. It really is the best.

I bought a provari and a ZAP rebuildable as my first PV and tank. Never used a Carto or an Atomizer before. Im getting right in that Ferrari for my drivers ed class!

I'm very impressed! I can't say that I'd have stuck with it had I started out with an RBA as my first!

I have been on the fence about getting a Provari. It hasn't been the cost but the one button interface. Everything I have heard it is very easy. I recently stumbled onto the Z atty pro, and after seeing the two mated together, I have to have both. Its my next purchase, and my Vamo will become backup. I may have to find another genesis type atty to go on my vamo. The ZAP has a skirt that Im sure will not fit without a 510-510 adapter and that would be horrible looking..

Cool another question, lol I been up all this time reading about vaping. Well to my question is how many of you guys vap with juice, and nic? I was wondering how does vaping help you stop smoking analogs if nicotine could still be involved in the mixture of vaping? For example I want to buy fonkey monkey e-juice and it ha a choice for me to pick the mg of nic involved should I go for the no nic mixture or start off in a low mg?

Half to 1 ppd smoker - I say 16mg nicotine strength, no less than 12.

Vaping is not officially a smoking cessation program, but an alternate nicotine delivery system. By eliminating both tobacco and smoke, is becomes a safer alternate. I have no idea how many people drop their nicotine to zero after starting vaping, but most continue to have some nicotine in their liquids. I myself started with 24mg nicotine strength, and 10 months later I have halfed that to 12 mg. Presently, I am content to stay at that level.

The jury is still out on how safe or dangerous nicotine actually is. There have been very little studies on it. Most people believe it is similar to caffeine as a stimulant, which is most likely used in larger quantities in several products worldwide by the population as a whole. I chose to believe that.
