dang darlin.......y'all have the worst stuff with internet. There is a link that is selling what provape has left. Not sure if it's just mods, or if it's accessories too. ProVari Fuel E-Liquid


well let's hear it! :D
If anybody is willing, I could give them my five kicked nemmy's in trade for five equally well-used Provaris. :lol: Just the most economical substitute for the preferred product.

Spotty...

As far as the dooming, a few businesses have closed, Provape being the latest. But various States have done some ugly things.... some of which may be changed back, due to court or legislative means.

But in this world of alternative facts, their innuendo takes precedence over science... Yeah, some kid tried an ecig once, so now they're a "user." Like saying I tried vodka once, so I'm a Russian....

One of the key "filing" dates did get pushed off to later this year (or it would have been in effect already), so a lot of people still have their heads comfortably buried in the sand. And, in spite of what many of us here have been saying for, literally, years, many of those will still be totally surprised... :(
That's disheartening ... I occasionally see articles about tobacco companies working on developing non burning, but heated tobacco devices? Who's going to buy that? I guess it will help the tobacco farmers, and offset some of the tax losses. But they'd have to squelch the entire vaping industry, which is what I guess they're trying to do. Why not just jump on the vaping bus? You still able to buy nicotine?

So far, yes, on the still getting nic.

Yeah, Phillip Morris is going all out on their iQOS system of heated tobacco. Wholly proprietary, of course, to lock users in...

As for the farmers, I don't imagine they care much if their product is rendered into cigs or straight down to nic. But the cig makers do!

Yeah, the aim is to squelch the industry that got us off their products. As always, follow the money.

Is there an American vendor that carries a large assortment of the brands and flavours? I'm trying to avoid multiple shipping charges.
As David said, ecigexpress. There is also RTSvapes. They're more expensive, but if shipping were cheaper, could be worth it. Also Bull City Vapes, and I think Wizard labs has a fairly large selection.

oh kewl, I missed that somehow.

lmao........don't look at me. I have no provaris, and they'll have to pry my Reos outta my cold dead hands! :D

I'm still kicking, it's been abnormally hot and humid over here. Like Florida in summer, ugh.
I use Wizard Labs for largest selection and glass. Occasionally I have to wander over to Bull City for some things Flavor West

I have acquired a number of ProVaris and they are not going anywhere. They are my favorites. I did manage to buy a couple of ProVari 2.5s and P3s at blem pricing last year and am so glad I did. Vapor Kings still has a few colors left: Tulsa Oklahoma and Las Vegas Strip Electronic Cigarettes Supplies
I have only two and they are both 2.5 mini's. I use the 18350 batteries in them and I do not get much battery life. If I buy one of those extension caps can I just then use an 18650 battery in them?

No, the mini's extension cap let's you use an 18490/500. If you can get/find a P3 extension tube plus the mini's extension cap ... then you can fit an 18650 in a mini.

You must vape at higher voltage than me. At my usual 3.3V my batteries last 9-10 hours. When I bump up to 3.4 i get 8-9.

And maybe she vapes more often too.:p At 20ml/day I'd blast through 5-6 18350 per day; another reason I never bought a Provari.

Last year sometime I did purchase the bronze color from Vapor Kings. The design is different on the tube than the 2.5 Minis however they operate the same and have the same menu. I use all my Provaris, other than the Radius, with 18490 batteries even though I have the end caps for all my ProVaris that allow 18650 batteries.

I never got one for myself, either. I knew I was going to stay with flat top batteries, & wanted to be able to use whatever build I wanted. The smaller batteries would drive me nuts, even tho I only vape maybe 8ml a day. I did get 2 blems for my niece & nephew for their vapocalypse stashes. I upgraded the top caps to P3's so they could use the flat top batteries they already have.

In addition to what Mike said -

If I have my ducks in a row, there were two types of ProVari 2.5. The difference is one is approximately 1/2 inch longer which means it can be used with an 18490 battery without adding an extension. The ones on the Vapor King website is the longer version so I use my bronze without an extension with 18490 batt. I do have the extension cap in case I want to use an 18650 batt. The shorter version requires two extension rings plus the end cap that came with the ProVari or one extension ring and one extension cap to get it so that you can use 18650 batt.

The white/pink pictures shows what the extension cap looks like whereas the silver picture shows the extension ring.
