Welcome and congrats on leaving cigarettes behind! Mudhill, I have some Volt batteries (they work with the V2) I'm not using that are in great shape - send me a PM with your address and I'll send them your way...
I'll expand on Sailorman's logic just a bit myself. I can afford a Provari but I don't need or want one. I have a VV device and I found it stayed at 3.7 volts anyway because of the juices & cartos I use. Why spend that kind of money when I'm perfectly happy at 3.7 volts?
The Provari fanboys (and girls) do tend to get on my nerves. If it works for you, great, but it may not be the best solution for everyone...
And this is why I like this site. People willing to help others out when and where they can. I've seen it with hardware like this ... I've seen it with locals in juice emergencies ... *and* the nonstop support in making the switch. Lots of encouragement and positive vibes, which is what a person needs when they make the switch.
