Look what I found from the old days!

[hittman]

I had some of those isticks. Some people still use them. Nothing wrong with that.

TrueSmoker Dragon M401 (2009). I pre-ordered this kit for $60 and never used it.

Rather I stuck with my joyetech 510s.

When it dies, as they are still available, I will replace it with another.

All 2.5's.... Coyote Tan Military prototype,

So that Coyote Tan Provari is a 2.5? I bought one just like it only in a different color. Was told it was a V2 and was told the way you can tell visually is because of the vertical lines on the body, as opposed to the intersecting lines or teardrop pips like the others. Would be nice to know what the heck I actually bought!

I agree. And as far as I can tell eleaf still makes all those original isticks because I have seen the eleaf US site as well as other US sites go in and out of stock in 2020. Still have 2 sealed in box.

My Coyote Tan prototype is a 2.5 built in a V2 tube with black base and extension caps. There was also ore made in Battleship Gray also with black caps, and both of them have red LED's. They were never put into production, so there was only the two of them as of 2013 anyway. Both were custom made for a Doctor (name with held) that had a close tie with ProVape (and I with him). At the time he lived about 50 miles from the next to last location where ProVapes mostly secret shop was (I don't know where the last one was). He kept the Battleship Gray one. So if the one you bought was gray, had the mentioned specs above AND had 2.5 trons in the V2 tube, it was probably that other prototype that he decided to sell. The money to help others was far more important to him than stockpiling/collecting them (was how I talked him out of the Coyote Tan and the "Green-Eyed Stealth prototypes). I don't remember how to tell the difference between the 2/2.5 trons (my Pro gear has been boxed up and in storage for around seven years). The black "Stealth" limited edition line was also made just for him by ProVape, and was only sold by him. They have a triple layer tough black matte finish, a blue LED and blackened window that were intended to be "to stealth vape" for first response in a war zone, for SWAT/LE, etc. on night time duty. But he sold some of them to collectors like me. He sold the prototypes/stealths for a high premium price (around $300) but used all the profits from them and their accessories to help first response folks (military, police, medical, etc) that suffered issues from the trauma of the job they had done (PTSD, etc). He was a vice nice man on a mission. HTH
By the end of 2013 ProVape and the Provari's fell out of my favor. That is all I have to share about that topic. So I switched back to the mech tube mods that I preferred and bought a bunch of VapourArt GP PAPS gear from Greece.

Don't have any of this stuff from them "Good Ol' Dayz" EXCEPT for one Stingray Delrin DT but figured would contribute to the Nostalgia & share an old Pic circa 2013 (?)...
After starting with GreenSmoke & Blu cigalikes and steppin up to EGO Batts & CE4's (as most of us from that Era) had begun the "evolution" to and thru CE6's & EGO Batts (couple in the Stand still) to ProTanks, Pro Minis, & ProTank II's and think that ICBM-lookin wannabe was the "state of the art" Pride & Joy Innokin SVD
and of course a plethora of local Vape Shop Junk-Juice at $8-$15 a pop for 10-15ml

God help me I do kinda miss them dayz in a way...

Thanks. The one I acquired is definitely a V2 then. My Zmax Minis actually work better lol. [runs for cover]

I have a Zmax... a Sigelei Zmax V5 from the first preorder for them in July 2013. I didn't like it much so didn't use it much before retiring it.

The mismatched Sigelei crew from way back when (L to R - 8W, Roller, Zmax, 9E). Only Sig I liked of them was the 8W that I bought both tubes for. I didn't much like any of the atty's in this picture either so retired them as well.

That's right. Sigelei also made a zmax. My Zmax minis are Smok. Works great for tootle puffing and a lot better than a VV ego lol. I have 18650 tubes but use them mostly with 18350s. 15W/6V but they have a problem in voltage mode where they have this tendency to reset. Never figured it out but found out that in wattage mode the problem doesn't exist. So I just use them in wattage mode.

I've just ordered an additional half dozen Smok Zmax to add to my other sixteen. Minis at $3.19 each shipped after discount and the mini starter kit with extension tube at $10.39. The extension tube is still available separately elsewhere for $4.95 with $4.95 shipping.

Hello. I ordered somethings there too on 3/15, a shipping label was made on 3/17, then later canceled . I was wondering if you had any issues with you order? I have emailed, and called, but no replies.

Thank you

 

[mcduffy]

No issues. I placed an order late on the 16th. A label was created on the 17th and shipped out of Texas by the end of the day. Tracking shows it arrived at the Detroit MI Distribution Center this morning and that it's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.

Thank you for the reply, guess he doesnt like me lol. Ill keep a eye out for a refund, its a shame, i was going to order a few more things before the deadline.

I ordered from them about 8 times in 2020. I don't know what you ordered, but make sure that it's not out of stock. Look underneath the product title where is says "availability".

Even though something is out of stock, their cart still allows you to order it . I found this out on my first order. They refunded the out of stock and just sent everything else.

If all your stuff was in stock, then that's a head scratcher.

If you got a refund, you will get an automatic email stating that from their shopping cart system.

I have found them to be fairly good retailer with so-so communication. I bought a mech mod with defective threading and they wanted a video. For 3.99 I wasn't about to do that. I only contacted them out of curiosity to see what they would do. I have more of that mod and will use the defective one for parts for the good ones.

Their rewards points don't always work, either.
