Thanks IowaGal. I appreciate yourKayte...I pretty much use mechanical mods these days and if you build them correctly they are safe...but my first 'mod' was a Provari Mini and I still use it to this day. It is a little big at first (going from a cig a like or ego type battery) but once you've had it for just a short time you are in love. Mine are black as they didn't have the lovely blue, purple or red to choose from back in the daySeriously don't think you could go wrong with a Provari Mini...just my

. I admit, mechanical mods to scare me a bit. I know nothing about batteries and all the safety issues, what you should and shouldn't do. When I first started vaping I read a long dissertation on mechanical mods and they strongly discouraged getting one until you were well studies on battery safety. So far, I haven't been inclined to learn.

Thanks Bukket! I know so many people have provaris and speak very highly of them.I have a full sized Provari with the extension and I love it. I carry it everywhere. It's the perfect mod for tanks.
I have to disagree about bottom buttons. Some can be a pain but the Kamry K100 or K101 is awesome! It is super easy to push and really comfortable to hold. I use the middle knuckle of my ring finger to press the button. I have trouble with arthritis in my fingers but the button is so smooth it never bothers me. I love it so much I have it in 18 different colors! Just got fire engine red, the perfect purple, and a gorgeous green. It's just an awesome mechanical mod.
The photos helped so much! It's not quite as big around as I thought. Thank you!Kayte, The Provari is actually a little smaller than a z-max mini. Go for the Provari. I love mine. The quality is fantastic. They will replace internals and up-grade for $20. It's a workhorse.
I really really don't think you would ever regret it.
I was surprised at how small they are. Pics make them look bigger.
That new tip is soooo cute. Love it!
Good luck!

Thanks catcat. A work horse does sound good. I think I would need a provari AND a wrap. And a new tip of course.Evening tip friends!!
Kayte, honestly you would love a provari. It is my go to all the time. I take it everywhere with me. I used to have 2 of them, but was careless and one got snatched. It really is a work horse.

I would love to get Doug a REO woodville. (I think that's the right term. Too lazy to go look it up and make sure. lol)I'm going to have to get me a kick - I saw yesterday that Evolv is having a sale on them right now if anyone is interested. Evolv LLC - Home for $19.99 and $1.00 shipping.
I got my MVP 2 this past weekend - I'm not feeling the love for it, and am going to sell it to a co-worker of mine. I don't care for the looks when you put any topper on it, I don't care for how it performs (for ME it performs weakly compared to my other mods - and of course, since I have a REO, it's difficult not to make the comparison, and the REO clearly wins every time).
I do have an SID on the way for his birthday, so I'm excited about that! I'm also working on a deal for an iTaste VRT. Not sure which of us will end up with it. I imagine it will depend on how hormonal I am when it gets here.


I'm sorry Katie 






Looooove that one!!!
