Yep.

So let me get this straight. Youre willing to pay 19.95 for a crappy Chinese mod that probably wont last longer than 6 months before the threads are stripped out? One that has a high probability of leaving you stranded with nothing to vape and seriously considering going back to smoking?

Yeah, its way cheaper than a Provari but the difference is I'll still have something to show for my money 5, maybe even 10 years from now, while you'll have nothing but a useless paperweight.

I have 20 plus Chinese egos, vmax's vamo's. Not 1 has broken. The radius is already a paperweight. I see nobody vaping at low wattages (40w and below) in my vapor shops in my area that aren't using temp control. Provape should of just stuck a DNA200 and called it a day.

Thanks :) It's a triggerfish, I made it because the pattern reminds me of the ones I've seen while diving...

You made it!? Wow, cool. I have a few stained glass pieces with fish themes. I used to work in the aquarium biz, and specialized in reefkeeping. My highest profile client was President Reagan, and some of my work is in various movies. Met him a few times, and got to see a lot of things the public never did. Do you sell your work, or have a store? PM me...

It's 2015 get over the venting thing. This is mostly made of plastic so when I run over my Radius or IStick with my car they both will break. But I will only be out $19 bucks instead of $200. I will stick with my Vaporshark S-body all metal and lighter.

Slose, good luck! And mean that sincerely. I've been in "misery" business for 35+ years and during that time almost everything has happened to one of my clients--murder, kidnapping, burned to death in fires, held hostage, stabbed, shot, died in car wrecks, drowned, mauled by dogs, mugged, crashed airplanes, not to mention the regular old stuff of having limbs cut off or burned in industrial accidents, etc. Then there are the stupid ones like cuts and bruises from dumpster diving, falling backwards in chairs, etc.

I'm not the expert on battery and mod safety like Zen and others are, nor do I rank using an iStick in the stupid class. But I will say that if I'm going to use something, it's going to be safest device I can find. ProVape products fit that criterion.

And while I've had no injuries or accidents (other than cracking/breaking a couple of tanks by dropping) since I started vaping in April of 2014, I do wish I'd made the switch to ProVaris and Kabuki tanks earlier. In the long run I would have saved money and had less frustration by using less expensive products.

AHA! Another Naughty P3 hunter!

Hey Handsome (you know I just can't stop sayin' that).... congrats, and Turfy, hugs to you. How kool is this!! I share your happiness having been given the same gift from our very own (and very dear) Mr. 'Brow! Enjoy it.

(My best to you and the family, SR sweetie. It's a rough road.)




I absolutely LOVE the work that Zen did on my GMZ! Willy, how many equals a "few"? ;)




You, me, boat, same. Let's row, sailor. And do let me know if you find a local shop or anyone local that gets one, yeah? I would love to see it up close and personal.



Those are beyond STUNNNNNNNING! Your talents are prolific!!
I know right, i'm still lost for words, Jim is a Legend!

I'm dying to tell my mrs when she gets home, but i'm determined to wait till she gets it with her P3 on christmas day. It will make it all the more special having such a nice story to go with it, I'll be sure to say she owes Jim a thank you, not me!

And may I just add, I live in the UK so postage will be more, Jim still insisted on covering it, his words...
"just send me your address.... I'll take care of the rest! I hope she enjoys it!!!"

Really made my day that did! :)

I have 20 plus Chinese egos, vmax's vamo's. Not 1 has broken. The radius is already a paperweight. I see nobody vaping at low wattages (40w and below) in my vapor shops in my area that aren't using temp control. Provape should of just stuck a DNA200 and called it a day.

So, funny story.

My son, who is 19 years old comes up to me yesterday and asks if he can speak to me outside.

Then he nervously tells me he vapes.

He tried smoking in his junior year when he was hanging out with a "friend' who was a bad influence.

Decided on his own that he didnt like the way it made him feel and took up vaping instead.

Then he shows me his mod. Its a magneto clone that I bought as a backup and that has been missing for over a year.

Kid was using my old boiled cartos and a spare carto tank along with a glow in the dark drip tip (also mysteriously missing).

He thought I was gonna hit the roof.

I am mad at him about concealing this from me but Im happy that he had sense enough to vape rather than smoke.

Hes only an occasional vaper, sometimes goes 2-3 days between vapes and sometimes weeks.

He was using 24 mg juice.

Today Im taking him to the vapor store to try juices in the 3mg 6mg range and tonight were going online to get him an 80 dollar Provari 2.5.

No way my son is gonna vape on a crappy mod.

Thanks for proving my point.

Do you know how many mods I have?

1 that I use all day, every day.

and 1 backup that I won here on the forums that collects dust on my shelves.

Thats all I need.

Youre making the classic young kid mistake of thinking that quantity is better than quality.

Maybe one day, when you find a good woman, you'll understand the fallacy in that line of reasoning.

20 Chinese mods at 20 bucks a pop equals 400 bucks. More than enough to purchase a decent mod.

I had one but sold it to a friend. I just wanted to keep up with the joneses and wait for provape's next device which I'm sad about.im probably wrong and It probably will stand up to a car lol. IStick was a bad example. I should of said the Joyetech VTC mini. That thing is awesome for the price and I heard it's the most accurate board out there TC wise. I'm out of here sorry for the fussing on my part just disappointed and a finger click away from ordering it till I read the details.
