It also makes me think about the people who are continually .....ing about Provari not having VW. For me, I don't want VW. I don't need it, for what I do it provides absolutely zero advantages coupled with a few negatives. If VW is your thing, that's cool but why look at a Provari in the first place? Apparently it's not the mod for you, so move on to something else that offers the features you want. If I'm hungry for a ribeye, I don't go to Taco Bell & complain about their menu. It makes no sense.

So yeah if your builds are within' a pretty tight range then I tend to agree with you. As an example all my ZAP's are built within .3 ohms so a bump up or down on voltage is more for juice taste and not really compensating for resistance. That said I am one that would love to see ProVape go the VW route or even a DNA mod built to their quality standards, just sayin' ;)

I had been looking at the Semovar for a while and it was never available. One day I saw it available and accidentally added it to the cart then threw some money at the screen. It magically appeared in my mailbox somehow, still trying to figure that one out. It sure is pretty though. I actually had a friend offer me more than I paid for it, I might take him up on that. The Provari, MVP and my other stuff is really working out well. If I cannot resist the pull of the Kato Hammer I might well end up selling the Semovar to my friend.

They were having some problems with it for a while too, but they seem to have gotten them sorted out now (I think). They're a little more easily found now; I think they kept pulling them, or stopping production, when new problems would appear. It sounds like they are similar to Provape when it comes to quality & how they treat their customers. They didn't want bad products going out. I didn't have the extra cash yesterday but they were in stock when I bought another KFL. Side note - I was surprised at the price difference. Even with international shipping, I spent slightly less buying a KFL directly from Germany than I did buying one out of California. It shipped right away, too.

Edit: Ho-ly Crap. Just checked the FedEx tracking, which in my experience is a bit more accurate than the UPS tracking (and forget about USPS "tracking" which is as accurate as a drunk, blind darts player facing the wrong direction). The estimated delivery date is the 20th. So cheaper than buying from VapeRev... and now it looks like it's going to arrive in less time too. That's insane! 1100 miles vs 5000-6000 miles... :facepalm:

omg. MDV is selling his grand. WHY?!?!
i see there is a few. i'm on the hunt for another original mini. i prefer them despite their lesser battery time. i have no leakage with them, like i did with my 2.1 minis.

haha I'm a freakin sucker for VV....I'm so torn plus I have more reos :) .....My reo is no "bargin" slightly under retail which shows how one the fence I am about selling it. I do want a panzer mod though for some reason and heard provape has plans on the horizon so I need funds for the future. If it doesn't sell though Inhave absolutely no problems keeping it.

One of the US distributors, maybe even the US distributor for Taifuns is here in Austin. They sell the Taifun series at a few dollars (2-5) more than international exchange rate depending on which Taifun you get. No shipping costs and you get to walk out the door with it. They did order all the parts and kits for them, they did not order any Taifun Provari cones for them, and they sell Provari in the store :facepalm:

Just updated my spreadsheet & noticed it's day 60 today. :blink: Where did that time go?? The best part of vaping for me was not counting days. The previous times I've tried to quit if asked, without hesitation, "It's been 13 days, 5 hours & 16 minutes. :grr:" None of that this time. And I'm only $572 in the hole - which doesn't take into account the monthly budget, just the money saved from each cig minus all vape related hardware, juice, accessories, etc. By the end of the month I should be right around the -$400 mark. Even counting for juice purchases, I could break even in less than 9 months! :banana:

I don't buy clones & the only reason I bought direct from Germany was I haven't seen a KFL in stock in the states for a little while... and I've never seen the Cylon window available in the states at all.

Taifun is not a clone, it is made in Germany. I believe the concept was derived from the Kayfun but they are as different as a Protank vs a iClear30. There are clones of the Taifun though, they are made in China. That being said, I like my R91s better than I like the genuine KFL that I have. I guess I could save some money and buy real Kayfuns, but I like the R91 better :) I like the Taifun equally as much as the R91. Just my opinion though, I do own some other clones of the kayfun series. IMO Russian>Genuine KFXX>Clones.

I generally buy a bunch of stuff find what I like best, then either give or discount the rest to my son.

Ooh, no, not in Georgia, not without creating a real cluster state services wise. If mom *does* end up in the hospital and the state knows about it, that screws up a *ton* of my sister's and my services... went through that three years ago, not doing it again, I'd honestly prefer homelessness to getting *that* started again. (It won't come to that under any circumstances, I'm just picking that as an example of *just how much* chaos that creates in our lives.)

I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope someone comes through for you and that it can be addressed with as little chaos as possible.
