I just received my Provari mini this morning along with the AGA Tiamat rba. This was my first time ever setting up a rba (I have watched every Youtube video out there 10 times over lol). Wow, what a difference. Huge taste, huge throat hit, huge vape lol. I was using my Young June LT prior to buying the Provari (that is a very nice PV in its own righ IMO), but the Provari lives up to all of the hype I have heard, it is well worth the money. I am actually going to be ordering a second one soon ;).

The RBA wasn't too bad setting up being this was my first time, I did have trouble with the Provari error'ing out on me until I realize I had the Provari set to high. I am using 28g Kanthal with 6 wraps, and the ohm reading came out to 1.2, I wasn't aware there was a limit on high high you could run the voltage if using a lower resistance. Once I figured that out it actually was pretty easy creating the wick, wrapping the wire and getting any hot spots out.

This combo is so much better, the flavors from my juice are perfect, I thought they were good before, this is a new world now.

I was thinking about getting a second ATA T2, but was wondering. Is there that much of a difference between say the cheaper Aga Tiamat (got mine for $29.00) and the much more expensive RBA's such as the Z Atty Pro or Cobra? They definitely look very nice, just wondered if they are really worth that much more in terms of money?

Attached is a pic with the Provari and Tiamat, and also a pic of the wick and wrap I did, not the best but it was my first attempt :)

hey small world, i just received a provari mini and aga-t in the mail yesterday. i love how the aga looks on the provari and it vapes well. i did a 1.8 ohm setup with 32 gauge a1 kanthal and at 4.0 volts it rips clouds of vapor. i have been looking into the more expensive setups like the zatty, ody, hellfire mini, im told they are much better, better design, better build and craftsmanship. if i get my hands on one i will let you know

cheers
