Ok so Im ordering a couple ego twists next month, but im also interested in getting a pheonix rebuildable and want to be able to rebuild the coils on my vivi nova. So there are 2 mods I am looking at really seriously. The Provari, and the black chrome Young June lavatube from freecigs.

Before all the uber fans of Provari get started, I am on a serious budget, it would take me until december "at least" to be able to afford it. The Young June however I have searched so much and seen more people with things falling off of it in 3-5 months than there have been good reviews on it with nothing else.

There is also the Zmax, which has everything I need plus the Variable wattage which is nice. But at a hefty 120$ from madvapes for the tube only, spending another 40 bucks for the top of the line seems like a no brainer.

Anybody who has a black chrome Young June lavatube, I need your input on it, If it is going to last a little bit I would probably invest in it. I even tried to find just an ohm reader, and thats 20 dollars by itself at madvapes, 30 dollars more for a full function pv doesnt seem too bad, that is, if it doesnt fall apart a couple months after getting it.

And if it does fall apart, is there a company that can repair these that is based in the USA?

Thanks in advance.

I think you'll be better keep your money and buy the Provari later, IMHO. I have a bad experience with lavatube (early model). I have my provari for almost two years now, and it's still running like the first day I get it. Even with some abuse (been drop from my lap when exiting my car countless number of times, been dropped from 3rd story directly to ground floor once, dropped from my hand into hard concretes countless times, etc).
But you should consider about more funds needed to go with provari. $160 is for the unit only, you'll need at least a couple of batteries, and I'm suggesting to get the extended cup to use 18650 batts with your provari. Don't forget about getting a charger too. I have calculated, you'll need about $70 more for a couple of 18650 AW IMR batts, an extended cup, and an I4 intellicharge (i get this charger on ebay).
Some people loves their Lavatube/Young June, they are a lot cheaper and some vendors have great customer services too, so it's your choice. Hopefully you have a great experiences with whatever you choose. I have an SS vmax for a month. It's not bad, and I don't think my vmax will endure some abuse like my provari.

I'm waiting for the Lavatube 2.0.
It's going to be built like a tank.
And have great features.
And I'll be able to buy two of them for the price of a Provari!
And it will do the exact same thing! It will be the best bang for the buck when it's released.
This is the real Lavatube from Volcanoecigs.
Pre-release version review.
