So here's a little story about a Provari and a Phiniac. Over the past 8 weeks, I have been put through some rigorous training to become a combat corpsman. It included weeks of rigorous PT and some nasty places in which i crawled around. I'm here to tell you about the way the provari performs in the field. This thing has NOT been submerged in the stinky mud that i crawled through, but there has been about a ton of sand in it and around it. I have it paired with a custom blown Phiniac with my Caduceus sand blasted in. I used various ohm Smoktech cartos. After 8 weeks of rigorous and grueling abuse.....Both parts have survived. The smoktechs however died and flooded constantly but that was to be expected with a lot of dirt and sand getting in there. After a serious deep cleaning after training both function just as they did when I got them. The provari had one major flaw. The connection would get very dirty requiring a cleaning quite frequently. Other than that the unit performed awesome. SO in conclusion, I LOVE MY PROVARI and its undeniable resilience. The phiniac as well came out unscathed and has not a mark on it. If you want pictures of what it was put through you can search FMTBEAST on facebook and just look at some of the pictures of what we all went through. Thanks for listening to my odd story. I am now back with the "fleet" with the 3/6 Marines.
