My second hand provari that I bought from another ECF member came in today. It's a black regular sized with the extended cap. So far, it seems to be living up to all the hype. I've had a chrome lava tube and a SS vmax both die horrible deaths prematurely. I figured that since I'm so hard on stuff, I'd be better off spending the money on a more solidly built unit. My only gripe is that the extended cap doesn't seem nearly as nice as the normal bottom cap.
