Lets see, you will try to tell yourself all kinds of things thinking you will talk yourself out of it. Then you will bookmark the page. You will keep going back and looking until you hit the purchase button. They you will sit with your nose pressed against the window until the mail comes. Then you will love the hell out of it and start researching your second one.

Don't ask how I know.

Thanks for typing this for me doghair
This was my exact experience too! I looked & compared the Provari to other mods for weeks before I hit purchase! Then I told myself that it would stay at home & I would take my other cheaper mods with me when I went out! I didn't! I couldn't! Nothing compared to that vape I got on my Provari! So I found a gently used one on the classy's for a backup less than a month later & either sold or gave away my other pv's. Then they came out with red! Ahhhhh my favorite color! Thank goodness the boyfriend bought that one for me for my 1 year vape anniversary! Take the plunge! You won't regret it!

Here's my little Provari family!

 

[Gato del Jugo]

I spent that much my 1st 3 months of vaping.

Did you buy a couple Caravela's or something??

 

[The Ocelot]

Mini and no? I can tell y'all are gonna have me goin back on this (and forth) LOL

I am but a simple Princess. I started out slowly. I bought a mini satin silver blem from ProVape and a little Xtar 2 bay charger and 2 batteries from another vendor. I did have to pay shipping to the other vendor, but it wasn't much. My only "mistake" (although it wasn't at the time) was the charger, since it only charges 18350s. I had to get a bigger charger when I got a mod that took other batteries, but that was much later. The little one was fine for months. The only thing I added early on was more batteries.

I didn't get an extension cap. I figured I could get one later and I have yet to do so. It's been over a year and the mini suits me fine. I just carry a couple of batteries with me in a small case in my purse.

I don't wrap coils. I use the carto tanks and Protanks I already had, although I've added a couple of other clearos to try out. I'm a happy camper.

Mini silver satin blem: $140.00
(From Electronicstix)
Xtar MP2: $11.99
AW 18350 batteries: $9.99 x 2
Total: $171.95 (plus shipping from Eletronicstix)

RTD Vapor has the same charger for $13.85 and the batteries for $7.87, which come out to be $2.38 less, but they were OOS at the time.

Less expensive came be done. This set-up (with added batteries) by itself lasted me months. I still use everything, including the charger (which is convenient for overnight trips).

Definitely a black. With a blue LED. And some wraps. And batteries. And chargers. New tanks? AHHHHHHHHHH

You haven't seen the Stealth yet have you

I've seen all the signatures too. So I was like what's that? Oh, that's stupid. I don't need that. How ridiculous.

Now here I am...

I got mine a while back when the sig graphics weren't so plentiful... and you rarely saw them outside of this forum. The one I saw was just plain text, nothing special... but after I saw it a few times...

Mini and no? I can tell y'all are gonna have me goin back on this (and forth) LOL

The Mini + extension is my favorite. It's a smidge shorter than the standard, doesn't have those silly crop circles & still has a pretty great battery life. Plus you still get the regular endcap, so you can always have an 18350 handy if you need it.

By the way, did you manage to pick up some of that Murdocks at the release? Sorry I told you a day off. That was the info I got & they didn't correct it until the last minute.

Gato just showed me the stealth. I think I like the regular better? I did not spend a lot of time on that site. Unfortunately gotta work tonight

I tried to message you back about the juice but for some reason I couldn't PM you

I love your little provari family! and your stand! Adorbs. (yes I say words like "adorbs" hence wanting sparkly wrapping papers )

The Stealth has the blacked out endcaps, black button, a much better finish & (my favorite) a smoked screen. It's a bit more expensive, but the guy who does them helps LEO/military folks suffering from PTSD & the Stealth sales help fund that. Good cause, sexy mod, usually not for someone's 1st Provari... but I like to bring it up when people are loving on the black/blue one. My second one was a Stealth mini ... my next one will probably be another Stealth too

I have my PM's turned off for people not on my contacts list. Sorry about that. I can fix that.

I definitely liked that they help the military! What's the "smoke" screen like? I'll have to go back to that site when I get home tonight.

 

[powerband]

cant see the batteries when they are hiding inside

 

[Ozwald]

It's sort of like window tint on a car. On the normal ones, you can see the LED screen even when it's not lit up. With the darker screen, it's just black. Then when you use it it's softer & easier on the eyes. The red is blinding, the green is yellowish & the blue is pretty nice... but the blue behind that tint... it's perfect.

 

[jrenae4]

Sorry, I meant the whole thing itself is ugly. It's growing on me though...

I mean going from an analog, to an ego, to a spinner, to an itaste...every time I thought I'd hate it and have a problem because it wasn't analog sized blah blah blah...but you come to find out that stuff doesn't matter

 

[PLANofMAN]

It's not sold by ProVape. And the smoked screen just dims it down a bit...tactical, you know?

Like wearing sunglasses indoors while you look at stuff on your phone.

The only problem with the Stealths is that the button doesn't blink when the battery is low, so you have to remember to check the level.

ETA: I like my Steaths too, but I think of them as more like collectables. I wouldn't buy one as a first ProVari. I'd use the money saved for tanks.

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced...

Ditto.. they're a 2nd Provari for sure The blinky thing never bothered me because I never waited that long to change my batteries anyways.

Mine was a 3rd.

 

[supersport13]

Thank the universe my boyfriend was thinking the same thing and when I was mooning over the Provari but agonizing over the price (I had no business wanting it, I was vaping for fun, not to quit smoking) he told me I should just get it because I would just wind up getting one anyway eventually. He probably saved us hundreds of dollars in other mods along the way.

Now between us we own 3 of them! And the only other mod I'm at all interested is another Provari (a mini, for traveling).

Black satin/blue LED in red, polished/red in copper. I have a vinyl cutter so I can just change the wraps when I get bored of a color.

To the OP: One of us... one of us...

That red looks .....in'! Is that a Leo dripper topper on it? Is the red a wrap or paint? How do you like that Leo? It looks so .....in' on

top of the Provari!

Yes, that is the eBaron Dripper Pro from By Leo. I LOVE IT. I'm a pretty dedicated dripper and it's everything I wanted - so much that I just got another one used from a friend of a friend. It really is fantastic. Granted my only previous experience was with IGO-W, Chimbus, Chitriot, and Forge Clone, but it's exactly what I wanted. Perfect draw, not too tight not too airy, the small barrel concentrates the flavor, the vape is very warm because the coil is right under the drip tip, and it holds a good amount (8-10 drops on refill).

The red (and copper) are both vinyl wraps. I have a vinyl cutter so I made up a template and just cut them whenever I feel like something different.

 

[jrenae4]

Ooh I do like that. But a 2nd? 3rd? I'm still wrapping my mind around the 1st..
