New Load of BLEMs

Blems only have to do with appearance -- not performance..
Seems like there's a bit of a range of button firmness among even the non-blems..
There's definitely a noticeable difference between my oldest one ("softest" of the 3, but still acceptable/fine) & the one they just repaired (which is now perfect)..
And prior to repair, that thing was way more mushy than the oldest/softest...
Enjoy your 2nd! So when are you getting your 3rd?
LOL.......If I buy a 3rd, it better come in a box big enough for me to live in, cuz that's what the partner would say if I buy anything else substantial! Yes he would!
You say the difference should be cosmetic? That's what has been said. But honestly, there's just no cosmetic difference. Maybe Provari just took a stock one off the shelf and sent it to me, just because I'm such a great guy. Yes, that's what they did!!
But... but... what if you have to send one in for service & something goes wrong with the backup the very next day!?!?!? Turn around on repairs is usually a week. Ergo, you need no less than 7.
Im content at 5, but that damn gun metal is calling my name for some reason... I have to see how tough the finsh is on the gold first before I pull the trigger on gunmetal.
If the button feels more loose, then it's probably a slight slop on the board is what you might be feeling. Can be remedied by taking top cap off and putting some tape in the grove slots for a tighter fit in the tube.

I had to send #3 in to be repaired.. Turn-around of 5 business days, but there was also a weekend in there, too.. Plus 2 days mailing on each end.. All in all, it was gone for 11 days.. And if I had waited a day or two, a 2nd weekend could have been thrown in there..
Definitely glad I still had 2 others.. Nothing bad happened to those during those 11 days, but it could have..
3 is a good number.. And on some levels, anything more is a bit piggish, I hate to say.. At least in a practical sense... Nobody truly needs more than just 2 or 3..
One possible exception is somebody who is constantly lending out a few ProVarii at a time to get people to quit smoking & return them once finances allows one of their own...
That said, I also completely understand why people have 6 or 12 or more.. And I'm going to really try to limit myself to "just" 5..
Which makes any subsequent purchases have a pretty high hurdle to leap.. It also means that when I do hit 5 (when, not if), and really want a new one, I'm going to have to sacrifice one of the others to the Classies or whatever..
Anyway, no offense to anybody.. I just happen to collect other stuff, instead.. Otherwise, I could probably see myself owning about 10 of these right now..
Indeed. My current fave in my collection is the L Rider Lambo. I think I paid nearly $80 for it, so the sale blem wasn't that much more. Heck, I've been saving well over $200/mth for nearly 3 yrs now by vaping, so why not?

2 better keep me happy. That is, of course until version 3.0 arrives !!

Wonderful Choices!
I have 3 Provaris right now. Such a great deal with the sale.
If your looking to get one now is the time to pull the trigger with 10% off.
That Dragon has been calling to me since I learned it existed. I could see use for a Dragon mini but I am very content with my full size.
I did purchase 2 more 18490 batteries so I have 5 of them and 4 18350 batteries total.
I was thinking about letting go of the things I no longer use. I would be using that to invest in other equipment. With the FDA buisness going on now I am stocked for Armageddon. I am happy to hold on to what I own I suppose.
Vape Happy! Vape ON!
Today is One Year Smoke Free!

Congratulations on the one year!
I was thinking of holding on to all my stuff too, but recently gifted a barely used MVP to a lady who had been wanting one for a while, I have another well used one, and that one was just a backup, and figured, better for it to be actually used instead of just sitting on a shelf waiting...my ProVari's will see me through whatever will be, as long as I can supply them with batteries, toppers, and juice.
If you have something sitting on a shelf or in a drawer and it's not going be used, give it or sell it to someone who will use. I gave away the rest of my early ecig stuff today to a lady who has COPD, but can't quit smoking. They were the ciga-likes I started with, but I had like 5 rechargeable batteries and an unopened pack of cartridges and the charger. I hope she'll actually use it and it makes me feel good to give it to someone who could really benefit from it.
I am getting to the point of letting some of the stuff go. Its hard to talk myself into it actually.
I actually have it around for the reason of someone might need it. I have gifted some people equipment.
Most of my family has quit with Ecigs in the past year.
I got about 3 family members who are stubborn.
I doubt it would help them. I gifted them some egos and ce5s it didn't work for them.
It will take me some time for me I suppose.
I haven't used anything except my Provaris and my Erolls since May. I occasionally use my Cloupor though. My DH uses it more than I do as his backup.
I still have the last carton of cigarettes I bought. I also have the last pack of cigarettes I smoked. LOL

Ordered a satin mini blem today with extension tube and 2 18530 batts. With the coupon code and blem discount it came to $148 and some change. I'm happy with the amount I spent, and looking forward to the device. Good deal! This is my first non-mech in a while and my first Provari ever.
I was really hoping they would release some new Black Blem's today to use the sale code, and get my first provari
I'm at my desk Vaping on my new satin silver blem right now and it's simply awesome and certainly no different from my non-blem.
Congrats on ordering a Provari! I think you'll be VERY happy with it!

Just got my dragon. Kinda wished I waited to use with 10% off but I didnt want to chance going out of stock.
Mine just arrived with no blemishes!!! The led screed red out looks larger vs my other 2.5v's. Looks amazing!!

The satin black blems tend to be few in number, and typically go pretty quickly..
The same goes for non-red LED blems...
Only 4 full-sized & 14 Mini's left..
Not quite sold out, but those full-sized are too close for comfort..
That Dragon is worth it..
Full sized is the one I got! Well worth it!
how are you able to check inventory?

Yea I want a black with blue LED but can't quite stomach the $300 after the Provari extension cap batteries and charger.
I didn't even pay that for my DNA 30 mod.
