I wanted to get my daughter a kabuki tank and was considering a provari 2.5 but it's not compatible. Anyone have any suggestions on a tank that is reliable that would work well on a provari 2.5. Since she likes my provari 3 so much i am gonna see if she would be interested in going with a 2.5. tried to find a provari 3 but there is none to be found.
You could always give her your provari 3.[emoji3]

The Triton mini will fit the tapered top Provari if you don't have a ring.

I think you are doing a good thing here. I have given my son and daughter in law quite a few mods. They are still dual users working towards vaping 100%.
Any idea what color and make Provaris she might like?
Post in the wanted section of the classiest and you might find exactly what your looking for :rolleyes:

Well i caught my 19yr old smoking today. Said she didn't want to tell me because she knew i would be disappointed. All of her friends smoke so guess i should have seen it coming. Needless to say i am worried and upset as we all know the trap she is walking into. Apparently she just started so i think i have time to turn this around before she gets in too deep like the rest of us have. I immediately started preaching to her the dangers of smoking, which i thought she already knew from me smoking, but just in case i went back down the list. I then started the vaping sermon. She said she didn't think she would like vaping and it wouldn't be the same. I invited her to try my provari, which is flavored lightly with trebeca, and prayed she liked the flavor. She did and kept vaping on it. I was surprised but she said she thought she would like it and how to go about setting her up with something because she didn't want to end up a smoker but the nicotine made her feel calmer and more relaxed and why she was smoking. She agreed to go to a vape shop in the next day or so and check it out.

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome. I am alittle uneasy because when i was new at this and went to a vape shop they set me up with a unregulated mod, which i didn't know what that was at the time and really still don't now, but i learned real fast it wasn't for me. It burned my throat and lungs so bad i was in pain for a couple days over it. It was just so hot!! it almost scared me from vaping the experience was so bad. So i know to make sure she doesn't get one of those, but other then that, i don't know much. I don't want to get her a cheapo ego either, i want her vape experience to a be a good one so she will stick with it. She needs something easy like my provari which requires nothing more then reloading a battery and filling your tank, coils premade. I want something new not something used and they don't make provari's anymore. Any suggestions of what i might be looking for and what to stay away from. I am prepared to drop a couple hundred on a nice setup because i will do anything i can to make sure she will have a good experience and stay off of the cigs. A couple things i noticed when she vaped on my provari was she liked the clouds, the flavor, and the nicotine. She did say she preferred a more fruity flavor though. I consider this a positive sign that vaping will work out well for her I just got to get this right first time around or she will just go back to smoking.

I made it clear to her that if vaping did not work out, be prepared for my rules. No smoking in the house, no smoking around me, and never ask me to buy you a pack of cigs. That if she wasn't going to listen to me about how bad a mistake this is, be prepared to suffer the consequences, and there will be consequences that will come at the expense of her health.
I second the Triton Mini if you can find one, top fill.

I want to truly thank you all for being supportive of me. Wish i could say the same for family members and friends. They think i am doing the wrong thing and only promoting a new bad habit. Plus given how young she is is wrong in their eyes as well. I don't care what they think. I know in my heart i am doing the right thing for my daughter and if i thought it was harmful i would not be doing it. Yes is it 100% safe no, but light years away from the harms of cigs. What let her smoke cancer sticks?? no i don't think so. It just saddens me that i have been given such a negative reception from family and friends because they have seen negative articles flash across their home page such as yahoo and so forth. I am the one vaping and researching this stuff not them. I am the one who has witnessed drastic improvement in my health not them.

Well she didn't like what was in the vape shop so she decided on a Provari 2.5. She just really likes mine and what she wanted. In the mail on the way. Had to buy a end cap but still have not decided on a tank for it just yet. Our dog died yesterday and she lost interest for the moment in a final decision on a tank but plan on getting back on it tomorrow.

Sorry about your pup. That's a tough loss. You are making a sound decision here. Everyone has their own opinion whether they understand the issue or not. You've been responsible at gathering information and weighing the pros and cons. That's a lot better than most people do.

Same old suggestions. I stick 20 and a nautilus mini. Old, easy to use, good looking, great mtl vape.
I personally prefer all my mods to have external batteries but I think for a total beginner they don't want to mess with battery safety, Just yet.

If it's too big then I'd suggest an Ex v2. Obviously these things are old and what I started with but still good.

She may get into things and you'll have to teach her about safety and start her on the road to a dual parallel unregulated box with a dripper ;)

Family members and friends don't always know what's best for other people, contrary to what they may think and say! Your daughter isn't their daughter = not their decision to make. You do have a bunch of support here for what you're doing!

Also, I'm sorry about the passing of your dog. It's never an easy thing to deal with. I'll be hoping the hurt lessens and it's replaced by good thoughts of your happy times with your dog.

I am so excited for my daughter, she has been using my provari til we can decide on a tank for her provari 2.5 and hasn't smoked another cig. I have one rule it doesn't leave the house! heck i don't even take my provari out when i leave the house, i use a cigalike til i get home. I love my provari and they don't make them anymore because they closed shop thanks to the deeming coming up. Wish i could have gotten her a provari 3 but they are nowhere to be found. She is really liking it. I have a big smile on my face take that big tobacco companies!! you just lost one more victim to line your pockets. Screw the views my family members and friends have. You guys are right she is my daughter and i will do what i think is best for her. Don't need their approval. I know way more about vaping then could ever comprehend because they don't smoke or vape. I've been doing this for awhile now since 2015 they know nothing. Let them believe what they want to about vaping. I vaped without their approval and so will my daughter if it keeps her off of cigs. I am still getting lectured about it everytime i see them. They make no sense to me..i don't want my daughter doing anything, but if vaping keeps her off the cigs then so be it.

thank you all for your kind words about my dog, yeh she was very loved by us. She was a lab and left behind her sister lab chrissy. Chrissy has been lost without her as all they have known is each other in companionship aside from us. They were out door dogs because they loved being outdoors. I ended up bringing Chrissy in and made her a house dog because i didn't want her to feel alone without someone to play with. Now she is under my feet constantly LOL. She is old and so was snowy, but they are big teddy bears full of love. She seemed so sad being out doors once snowy was gone it was so sad to watch, but she is happy being inside where she is getting lots of love and attention. I let her go out a couple times a week to just run and she goes and takes a swim in the lake and chases squirrels and ducks so she still gets her time with things she loved about being out doors.
