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? :D

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. :D

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.. :D


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.. :laugh:

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.. :)

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.

Congratulations on the one year! :2cool::toast::vapor:

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'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!

I was really hoping they would release some new Black Blem's today to use the sale code, and get my first provari :(

The satin black blems tend to be few in number, and typically go pretty quickly..

The same goes for non-red LED blems...


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!!

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.. :drool:

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.
