New Vaper - Thoughts on biting the bullet and going straight for a Provari V2?

[Rixx]

Hi all

I've been browsing the forum the last few days to get my head around all the options linked to vaping. I hadn't realised there was so much to learn!

I'm not keen on incessantly going through a few e-cigs to break-in to vaping. I would rather just bite the bullet, go through the learning curve once - and go for one that simply works and works well. It is on this basis then that I have chosen the Provari 2..

Thoughts? I was thinking of going for the starter kit on the Provari website (I covered my eyes when viewing the price haha).. but then began to wonder whether, based on your expertise, there are better options?

I would greatly appreciate your advice on what mods I should purchase with the Provari V2 if I were to go against the starter kit i.e. batteries, charger etc etc.

Cheers
RS

I would point out that even the Provari is just another pile of junk if you don't know how to use it.

IMO it's a better idea to just get a $50 eGo kit to learn on. That way you will have a backup PV when you get your Provari.

The Provari was my first mod. Easier to use than an Xbox controller. Go for it.

Since you're a beginner, I recommend getting an eGo-Twist. It's a user-friendly, inexpensive and reliable introduction to variable voltage. I own a couple of 650mAh eGo twist batteries and I'm very happy with their performance, form and ease of use.

Once you become familiar with variable voltage and vaping in general, you can always add a Provari to your arsenal. But start small (and cheap ).

Good luck.

It seems like a sound reasoning to me. I'd say go for it.

I'd also recommend having some form of backup. The ProVari is usually very reliable and a rock solid performer, but anything can happen and not having a backup is a huge pain in the rump.

I would like to join in and say "Good plan!"...but I can't. Like most things in life, it's not about the destination, it's about the journey. If getting to the top of the ladder doesn't mean anything to you, then you don't understand all the hype. You won't appreciate it nearly as much.

I started with blucig...made me start smoking again cause it was so frustrating. I think your on the right track, youll spend plenty on cartos, clearos, attys and juices that you'll more than make up for the money you didn't spend on various battery housings. The only complaint I have heard, and its fairly infrequent is that it can be heavy, you will rarely see complaints about it.

I would recommend the followign though to make your life easier.

1. get a couple Ego to 510 adapters
2. Spend the extra cash for a good "smart" charger
3. Start with juice samplers, and don't be afraid to try something besides tobacco flavor. Also Id recommend just getting some menthol drops if you were a menthol smoker, you can then add menthol to your taste to any juice.
4. Oh and get a good toolbox or a fishing lure box, trust me youll need it for organization if you are like most vapers.
Get a backup, If your rough with your stuff Id recommend a mechanical backup (I have a Reo and am confident that I CANT break it due to quite a few field problems in various weather conditions and training conditions.) You could also get one of the new SLB or KGO equivalent batteries, they look pretty decent.

Have fun!

I wouldnt recommend the ego-twist for the same reason motorcycle dealers dont recommend that you buy a small 250cc motorcycle to learn on....youre going to outgrow it fast! Get the Provari starter kit then buy some pre-punched flanged cartos and a phiniac tank you'll be glad you did.

As for backup I got an 1100 MaH ego with minu usb charging port and a mini usb to usb cord to use while on the pc or as an emergency backup for 15 bucks.You can charge on the pc with the usb cord and take it out with you.It hits pretty good with 1.2 ohm lr cartomizers.
