No, I hadn't seen that particular one. But yep ... it's truly looking sad for the future of Provape. For the last few month's they've just been selling out stock on hand ... I've been watching for about 3 month's to pick up another black and purple Radii ... nope neither has been available for a very long time. Over in the Provape forum a lot of folks figure they're just depleting inventory to shut down. Provari's and Radii are just a part of their overall technology business. Perhaps they are dropping out of the market. Would be very very sad to see them close up shop.

I don't get them not having the black Radius. Purple either. People want them. It was a bad sign, to me, when I began seeing the complaints and I don't even get around ECF that much anymore.

Got my latest shipment from them today. Ordered two bumper stickers, 10 cents apiece, got 17. Jup, 17. My $20 2.5 came with no instructions, thankfully I'm not a noob. 36ml of free juice and it all came in an unpadded plastic plastic mailer bag. The order, back in the golden days, should have been shy of $300. This one, including shipping, $35 and change. I am extremely grateful I could get comfortably stocked over the past three months or so with the discounted 2.5s but it's heartbreaking to see the company slowly fold.

LOL, just my luck. Bought a P3 used for $99 and the same new ones drop to $99.

Sad that such a pinnacle of American vaporizer craftsmanship is being squeezed to oblivion by inexpensive, high power *insert random country of origin* sub ohm mods.

No, not imports that are at fault, it's because of the FDA's deeming. So many jobs, and who knows how many lives, lost due to the FDA's and states' meddling.

I bot a new P3 for $80 a while back. Don't remember the store.

Jup, I remember posting that sale, I was your enabler. :D


Enabler. :grr:

I'm doing my best not to listen ... but I hear a P3 Satin blem for $80 calling my name. So much less than list price of almost $200 more.

:banana: Blem ProVari 3 (P3) - Satin Silver :banana:


I hope all of you that were in the path of today's storm weathered it well and are warm, comfy and vaping away with electricity tonight. :party:

I have 5 or 6 P3's and am thinking of sending them in to be cleaned, refurbished and have the software updated. I'm getting a bit nervous that time's a wastin'. Though I very rarely use them, it would be good to know that they're in mint condition if I need them. Somehow, I never thought it would come to this.

Good Morning porch dwellers so cold out all I can do is looks out the windows at the porches. So cold out no metal drips tips outside for sure!

Janet and I have quite a collection of Provape products too. he, he ... I wonder how my Provape portfolio value will be effected if indeed they go out of business. Will the value of a Provari go up because you can't get them any longer or go down because Provape isn't around to support/repair them.

oh wait ... focus Mike, just focus ... I feel better now.

Simple. Investment-- keep some in mint condition. Use the rest "until the wheels fall off".

I don't want a mini. OTOH, with my 5.5ml day rate, would be ok. I'll watch and see what else comes up.

Happy Saturday, all. I got vape mail today, for once the postal carrier rang my doorbell. I now have enough juice to make 6,000 ml of my ADV. I am now safely set for the deeming with VG, PG, Nic, and flavors. If push comes to shove and I run out of flavors I am fine with vaping unflavored juice. I doubt if it will ever come to that, though.

Yeah, seems they don't even sell the extensions for the mini anymore. Last one I got they had a check box. Add extension (free) add end cap (free)

Guess I have to find a 1.2-1.5 ohm tank for better airflow MTL.

Protank II 1.8 @ 11w has been stealthy and flavorful.

I recently tried the Joye Ego One Mega V2 with a 1.0 ohm coil. I use it on my P3. MTL with high VG and not having any issues. Inexpensive set up and the CLR coils are rebuildable. Otherwise remove the wick, dry burn and rewick.

I have my fair share of ProVaris including 2.5s, Classic, P3s and one Radius. I was on the Provape website and they have moved some items to: http://www.provarifuel.com. Not sure what is going on.
Hmmm. Do you suppose they will get out of the mod business and go strickly into the juice business?

I don’t know. If I had my druthers I would rather see them stay in the mod business although I don’t need anymore ProVaris. I saw where there are a couple of the 2.5s in the new website as well as a some tanks, batteries, etc.

Anybody try their joose? Any good?

I have never tried their eliquids so cannot speak to them.
