Not smoke, it's vapor. New guy here.

[DeLuca]

Hello everybody at ECF. I'm DeLuca, and I've had a PV for about a year now.
I started with a Joye 510 starter kit and some juice. I didn't like the inconsistancy, so I invested in a Joye eGo-T and wow did I love it.

I stopped using it for a while for no reason.
But recently I picked it back up, but again found myself unsatisfied because of the flavor and cold vapor.

Now I want to upgrade again. I've been checking out this forum and reviews everywhere. So I thought I would join up and get some insight from the pros here.

Budget is somewhat flexible, so I have been looking at the Provari in hopes of longevity and performance. I would also like a tank system with it. Only problem is the polycarbonate tubing I've seen everywhere. Also, with my self-diagnosed OCD, I would like it to look flush and "natural".

Anyway, I'm glad to have signed up, and you all will see me time to time.

Thank you!

You could get the Provari and the SS Big Daddy, or SS Lil Mama..........both have the option on a metal tube in addition to the poly option.

 

[Jim Bob]

While you decide I would suggest you try some Boge 2ohm cartos on the ego-T doubt you'll hate the cool vape

 

[Eddie.Willers]

Wow! Ego-T to a Provari? That's a big jump!
Might I suggest you look at slightly lesser priced variable-voltage options? The Provari is very, very good but expensive.
have you checked out the Notcigs 'Buzz' and their 'Infinity Pro'? There is also the recently introduced Lavatube.

 

[DeLuca]

Thanks Eddie.Willers, and yeah I've checked them out, but I really like the style of the provari. I know the price is up there, but with longevity being involved, I think it will be a great investment. So hearing that its good is what I like to hear.

Thanks!

Welcome DeLuca and congratulations on your success. Don't rush to buy; you will find that everyday, you want something else. Take two weeks & then pick the winner!

 

[Retriever]

Those who have bought a Provari really like them.

I'm a Provari owner after a couple of months of vaping. I jumped right on it and have no regrets.
Ego T's on the go and the Provari at the house. I have no other mods to compare it to.............But i love it! LOL

 

[MikeJA]

Welcome, DeLuca.

I went through a similar situation. Went from Greensmoke, to an eGo, then just decided to take the plunge with the Provari along with a MAP tank. Love both of them. No regrets. Smoke-free for over two months and that's worth a hell of a lot more to me than the money spent on the vaping hardware. MAP tank is poly, but as others have mentioned there are other options out there if you wish.

The way I see it, if you have the means and it keeps you off of the cigarettes, do whatever it takes. Life is too short as it is.

i have this thing against pointing people to a provari within their first experiences with e-cig's. i always recommend people try cheaper options first. JMHO

From what you just stated, I highly suggest the Provari. Somewhere on thse boards, there is a thread called "Show us your rig" or something like that. It has the most beautiful setup I've EVER seen. I wish I had the time to find it for you.
Good Luck!

Here is where you can see that awesome Provari setup:

Let me know if you can view it.

I can't speak to the Provari, because I don't have one. However, I can vouch for the GGTS. Performance and longevity, yes, and while it's not adjustable on-the-fly, the different combinations of batteries it will take provide different voltages. The engineering is superb, and the designer keeps an eye on his section here and responds to questions personally. The UFS tank system is a dream to use (once you learn a few basic lessons, like not opening both juice and air controls all the way *headdesk*) and comes with a stainless center section interchangable with the plastic one. The GGTS+UFS is not an inexpensive option, but it's user-serviceable, takes the same kind of batteries as the Provari (but a wider range), is incredibly tough/resilient, and is purely mechanical beyond the protection circuits in the batteries themselves -- even the button can be upgraded to use magnets instead of a spring to remove a potential point of failure. For matching, you can get end caps that are the same stainless as the body, and with those, a stainless atomizer, and a stainless drip tip, the GGTS looks amazing. The most important thing for me, though, was that the device itself would be incredibly difficult to cause to fail. Batteries age and die, and atomizers puff their last, but the GGTS itself will outlast hundreds of those consumables. I don't mean to derail you if your decision is made, but it sounds like those might be qualities you'd value.

That said, the Provari is gorgeous, and I love the feature set, and next time I'm feeling self-indulgent, I might have to get one myself.

Most tanks look flush on the vari

You'll be happy with the ProVari if you don't mind a heavy mod. My hubby uses both of the ones here. I prefer the Buzz because it's lighter weight but just as well built...may not have all the bells and whistles but it gets the job done.

 

[DeLuca]

Wow! Thanks for the advice everyone! Oh, and space0matic, I cannot view that link you wanted me to look at.

I've been sitting on making this decision for a little over a week now, and I'm still doing my research. I've seen the GGTS, and I do think it looks better than the Provari, but there things I'm picky with, like button placement and VV (on the fly). The GGTS is an amazing device, but I'm still leaning towards the Provari. Weight isn't really an issue, so again Provari. I'm a weird one lol.

Only downfall I'm seeing is the polycarbonate tubing for most tank systems! I've also seen pyrex glass and SS tubings, both of which have they're ups and downs. From what I'm seeing, a Provari with JoboyUSMC's Lavatanks with a polypropelyne tubing would be PERFECT! but Jonboy's tanks seem difficult to acquire...Ugh!

But, so far I'm really liking this forum and its knowledgeable members with great hands-on advice. Thanks everyone!

 

[Peezy]

get a lavatube

 

[DeLuca]

I lied, I now can view that setup space0matic, that looks pretty cool. I will dive deeper into alternate options, but I'm pretty sure it will be Provari in the end. But, I am always open to peoples thoughts and opinions.

Thanks everyone! This place rocks!

 

[dearme]

That's exactly like mine, except I use the Lil Mama tank instead of the Big Daddy tank.

 

[DeLuca]

Yeah? How does it hold up? Sliding, leaking, other issues etc...?
