I have been using this set up since Saturday and I have been very pleased with it.  So much that I ordered 2 more PT2 and bases which should be getting here tomorrow.  I use a Provari and haven't been able to use the PT2 due to the airflow issues.  Leaving the airflow all the way open has been perfect for me
I say give it a shot.  Worst case scenario you are out 5$ for the base
