Ya I was actually quite surprised. The price for the Stealth even before the 20% off was quite comparable to Provape. Especially with the exchange.

They tax the .... twice, once when you buy it @ provape and again when it hits Canada. Then they proceed to bend you over with Duty. By the time it's all said and done and you have it in your hand you wonder if you even got a reach around.

That's through Fed Ex eh? I remember the same happened to me when I bought my 2.5. Seems Fed Ex always nails you for it. Same as DHL.

Yeah, through Fed Ex. They called me when it hit the border and wanted payment and then it went to Calgary and they called wanting payment to ship it to B.C.
Oh well, small price to pay (I hope!) for what is coming!
Bass turds. Ya every time I've gotten from Fed Ex I get dinged like that also. Both times with DHL as well.

So my P3 and Kabuki arrive tomorrow, is there anything I need to know for initial set up/assembly? As far as the air flow and such? OMFG So excited, I feel like a little kid at Christmas.

If I could give you just one piece advice, it would be to lube,
with ejuice, the orings really well.

If Two, pay attention to that video.

I would add a third, if I may...

Remember the tanks orientation... top to bottom.

Have you watched the Visit to ProVape video?

The blem on my mini was the logo, yours might have been "not something noticeable" else. ;)

Yes indeed, that video is what first steered me
In Provapes direction.
Extremely proud to be a Provari owner!

Gottcha - so you already knew how picky they are. ;)
Yes but it was nice to see first hand just how picky they are.
This P3 is in immaculate condition IMO.
It just blows me away that they consider it less than perfect - lol
