Hello there!

I wanted to drop a line and say howdy to everyone. I'm fairly new to vaping (a little over a month). Was a 3 to 4 cigar smoker per day prior to buying my first vape at a local mall. I ended up getting a VaporX XL with XL tanks. Great little vape, but I was wanting more so I bought a Totally Wicked Torpedo about 2 weeks ago and have been loving it, but the battery drain with the DCT and the inconsistent voltages was driving me crazy. I just ordered my first ProVari with extension cap, (2) 18360 batteries, charger, and carts. I also ordered a Phiniac Glass Amber tank and some Tank carts. I was thinking I'd have to wait for at least 6 - 10 days before the ProVari shipped (based on the website), but I just got the email today that is shipped~~~ I ordered it yesterday!!! I'll be on the steps on Saturday waiting for the mailman!

I look forward to participating in this section and gathering tips, tricks and information on the ProVari!

Holy ProVari Batman! Ordered Wednesday, in my greedy little hands as we speak! I'm really Jonesnin' though cause I want to charge the batteries up full before using it. My initial thoughts on the Mod itself? WOW. I have to admit that there was some questions in my mind reading all the flowery comments about the ProVari, and how it was so much better built than other vapes. I said to myself... "Self, are these just fan boys and girls, or could it really be that one vape could be so much different over another.

Well I'm here to say that the comments are not only justified, but do not give the product justice. You really do have to hold this thing in your hand, to screw the battery cap(s) on and off. The durable feel of the unit. The craftsmanship in the design and the tooling of each and every element on the ProVari is unlike anything I've seen so far in the vaping world. Compared to my Totally Wicked Torpedo, in design and quality alone, it puts the Torpedo to shame when it comes to the machining and just plain feel and ergonomic of the device.

Hurry up batteries, let me see how this thing hits!

Mmmmmmmmmm, goodness! Just loaded some French Toast into a 2.8 Cart with stainless Steel Drip Tip! It's vaping heaven! If you are reading this and have ever thought of getting a ProVari... DO IT! It's well worth the investment.

Well said. I felt the same way when I got mine. It's difficult to put into words when you realize that you are holding in your hands one of the finest pieces of vaping machinery created by man. But you did it well.

So tell us. Is it worth all that money? After all, you could have something like 10 Twists or two chinese knockoffs for the price that you paid for that one hunk of steel with the stupid one button program interface.:p

I ended up spending more than $400.00 all told with all the accessories and the vape, and YES, it is more than worth it. I used to drop $30 for single Padron Anniversario Cigar... My daily smokes were like $6 bucks a piece and I was smoking upwards to 3 a day, sometimes more on the weekend.... so is it worth it? You do the math. LOL

I too am new here, just picked up a provari mini in black w/ blue led, and I love it so much I ordered a pink one for my gf (so she doesn't steal mines). Ordered it last Thursday and I was pleasantly surprised to find it here when I got off work today. I'm pretty surprised w/ the life of the 18350, I guess you could compare it to an ego twist 650 mah. So far its lasted me almost 6 hours, which is great because I only
Work for 8 or 9 and I picked up a couple extra batts. I doubt I will be needing the ext cap I got for the 18490. I'll post up some pics later if anyone's interested. I also have some $ sitting aside for a ZAP, which I'm pretty excited about because I mainly use Vivi Novas and sometimes my J tank.
