So, here I am eating my words. Until recently, I've never received a dry hit, ever. The vapor just diminishes on me. But lately, I've been switching out the battery for a fresh one when the vapor diminishes, and ... ugh. But it's still not as harsh and ugly as my other type of genny is when it's harsh. (my other one is out to kill me, I swear!).
The mechanical mod, without the Kick, lets me know when the juice is low and of course, when the battery is low. I know it's the juice by how many battery changes it's had with the juice fill. (kinda gets crazy when I am bouncing around with all 3 various sized batteries though lol, which is why I'm recently discovering dry hits occasionally).
With that said, now I'm not sure if I want to keep the mini Provari on my (Christmas) wish list or not. My mech has spoiled me rotten.
