Hi all,
When I ordered my first provari mini a few weeks ago, I included a 510/ego adaptor from Provape to use with a few EVODs I have. The first time I tried it I had a really hard time getting it to unscrew out again, which made me a little leary of even using it. I set it aside and kind of forgot about it but used it again this week end. It screwed in tough, but worked fine with the EVODs. I put a little Noalox on the threads of the adaptor with a q tip and wiped it off but still really a rough fit. I can't help but feel like this is not good for the threads in the provari. Did I maybe just get a funky one? I also ordered a couple of the ARO pyrex tanks thinking they would work with the adaptor but no go on that. Guess I'll use them on the few occasions I use my spinners. They're a nice little tank. Sometimes I just want quick and easy instead of filling a carto tank, but I suppose I should at least use my pro tank 2. Wouldn't want to do any damage to my first Provari. That would not be a good thing.:blush:

Same boat here. I got mine about month ago and it never did feel right from the beginning. I try to avoid using it at all.

You should tell them. They will make it right.

Plus, they need to know there is a problem. Even though the ProVarinati see all, the folks at Provape require feedback!
