New Provari arrived yesterday

[oplholik]

So far I'm liking it! Feels very solid and well built. At first I was a little concerned about the flipping thru the menus to use it, but found it's no big deal, it's easy. I got the red led, although I did prefer the blue, but decided that the $15 extra wasn't worth it to me, and I was right, I don't mind the red at all. I'm a happy camper.

How long did it take you to get it? Just ordered mine about ten minutes ago, thinking about going to check the mailbox in about an hour...

It might take just a little longer than that. Took four days for me, but I think it got held up a day in the local PO.

Yeah I'm hoping it'll be here by thursday or so, I'm also considering getting a tank. I've never delved into the tank world, I have always used boge SR cartos @6v. I really like the Phiniac, also thinking about the DCT or DID. Anyone have an opinion on those?

The.phiniacs are nice.but a slightly larger diameter than the provari. You might check out Texas tuff tanks and IBTanked. The DCTs work great, they are what I mainly use.

I ordered 3 tanks from IBTanked this weekend for my Provari. Since its blue, I ordered mine with the new acrylic, colored endcaps (see below). I already have ming drip tips to match them. The standard tank takes 35mm standard cartos. $21 per tank is not a bad deal for a pyrex tank of this quality.

I have several of the Smoktech DCT polypro tanks. The 6ml size are the same diameter as the top of a Provari. They take the longer XL 45mm cartos, although I only use their single coils replacements now.

The last pic shows an IBTanked (ocd) alongside a Phiniac, both on a Provari.

Wow those look pretty darn snappy, will have to check those out. I was soooo close to ordering the blue satin finish, I really love the color on those but I was worried it would end up like my silver vein silver bullet...after a year and a half it just looks terrible. I've heard now that the color finishes on the provaris are really durable so maybe my next one will be in blue. Really right now I'm feeling behind the times, I only use regular boge cartos and I'm wanting to try new things just don't want to waste a bunch of money. Are those CE2 tanks any good? I've heard really good stuff about the vivi nova recently.....there's just to many dang things to try.

The vivi Nova's are not bad. A little finicky. You have to tip it a lot from what I have been encountering. I thinking of rebuilding of the heads to see if I can get it to feed better. I would really like to try and rebuild one with a mesh instead of cotton.
