hi i am new here and wanted some advice i want to probably get a provari. i vape at only 15w and looking for something quite small and solid. what tank would you recommend with over the counter coils and don't fancy making my own.
thanks in advance
The kabuki tank gets great reviews and is also a provape product. Another great tank is the nautilus tank. Do you already have the provari? If not there was a sale for the 2.5 mini blemished, it's a 15 watt mod and very good and will last a long time. If you want a slightly upgraded one, the provari has the 3.0 which is beautiful and would be a perfect match with the kabuki.

I've been using an RTA for a long time and was hesitant to buy a tank that used ready made coils. So many of my friends were raving about the Kabuki that I broke down and got one. It is pricey, but I really, really like it! It's compact and easy to carry around. It hasn't leaked a drop, even upside down in my bag.

A Kabuki is available with a 510 connection, but it's designed for a ProVari P3 connection. That connection comes on the P3, the Radius, the Classic and the ProCyon. There is also a flat top upgrade option when you order a 2.5 that includes a P3 connection.

ETA: You did miss the big blow out sale, but there are still a couple left: Specials of the week

Northern NJ native , Coastal NC now.
I actually prefer the Innokin SVD 2.0 which is the most well built Provari like mod i have ever come across . It comes with a custom made Evolv 20 watt chip with step down tech which was specifically made for the SVD 2.0 and goes to 20 watts .

Comes with a stunning zippered case with built in battery charger and tubes to use either one 18350 or a 18650 battery .

Retail is $99.00 and it's worth every penny but now can be had for under $40.00

i seen the sale I'm in uk so i though i would buy from here as after the import tax and duty would be about similar price. also was thinking maybe the new procyon to future proof the purchase.
not many uk dealers though


I could be wrong, and you may know better, but any UK dealers selling the Provari v2.5 are still selling them for upwards of £150.

Provape are flogging the 2.5 for $70 and the Dragon edition for $50, although they are out of stock of the dragon edition.

I bought my Provari 2.5 direct from Provape in washington state. It took about two weeks because it got held up at customs and the additional costs only came to about £25. In the end, along with the 18650 extension cap, i still saved about £15.

If you ordered one now it will probably only cost you about £80 in the end. And that would include the extension cap if you needed one.

The reason i got mine inported was because i wanted a green led and display which i couldn't find in the uk at the time.

Original cost of a Provari 2.5 was about $265. Which is what i paid for mine.

Edit : Take Ocelots advice and buy one of the specials of the week for $55 and save an additional $15. You'd be crazy not to. Love that polished ss look !.

It looks like Provape is getting close to ending the 2.5, if their stock is any indicator. Get one now or you will end up scouring classifieds for them next year. It's a great device. Got my first one a year ago. Just got three more on their blowout sale.

That's my version of future proofing. I will get a radius as funds are available, because I like the form factor. But I am confident that I will be using my 2.5's for the next decade. They're as cheap as they're ever going to be. They're as reliable as they always have been. Just get one. Please. If you don't help deplete that inventory, I'm going to have to eat nothing but toast for the next month because I'll go back for more.

As far as tanks, the Naut mini is a solid choice. I don't love mine, but I have appreciated it and it was instrumental in my switch to vaping. I just ordered a kabuki because of the reviews. I ussually use an RBA, but people rave about them.

Another option is getting something that can take pre made coils or a RBA deck. I've had good luck with the Kanger, but there are several options that people like. It just gives you the chance to try rebuilding without committing (for the first month or so I always kept a spare pre made in my pocket when I started building)

Oh the Regular Stainless Steel 2.5 is the one to get. With the extension cap it'll take 18650 batteries. Whereas the Mini 2.5 will only take the 18350 standard and 18490 with extension cap.

Aestetically though the Tear drop design of the Mini is much better looking than the crop circle design of the regular 2.5.

I don't know why Provape didn't make the regular 2.5 with the teardrop design. I don't think they ever did anyway !.

I never went with the mini simply because I like using the longer vape time that the 18650 gives. I really would have loved the teardrops on a standard though. :drool:

I know nothing of the Dicodes.

The Provari has a regulated output which keeps the voltage the same with each puff regardless of your remaining battery power. As the battery drains the device will keep the voltage consistent giving you the perfect vapour all day long.

Provari with Russian 91% (With added cone piece : Provari Cone Piece by SvoeMesto )


Provari with Kayfun V4, glass tank.


Provari with Kayfun V4 SS tank.


Nuff said !.

If you're not interested in the 2.5 or/and not interested in saving any money
here's the P3 page at Creme de Vape (Previously called cloud 9 vapours)
ProVape - Creme de Vape
The Kabuki tank is also on this page if you scroll down.

Here's the polished stainless steel version. £190
ProVari 3 - Polished

All extension caps included.
