Look what I got! A pretty red P2.5 from Vixen Vapors!

OK. Now Mike & Janet, Classwife, and Bigbells turn. I want pictures!
I ordered EIGHT of the Provari 2.5 demo PVs from Vixen Vapors. They called and apologetically said they could only ship SIX of them, and would refund my card for the other two.

Here are the FIVE that they sent, and they haven't issued any refund yet. Yes, I'd say they bit off more than they could chew.
The 1st, 3rd and 4th ones are already destined for new homes.

It was important to me to try and say it in a friendly manner.
well that's always nice. Just glad you said it! I did turn it back off, cuz it kept trying to sign into my email and giving me tons of "it don't work" notifications, but now I know I can turn it on when I want to do something!

nice!! Very happy for ya!!

My name is greek, as am I ;). It's a nickname based on my full name.
oh kewl.......so you'll be sending us all some baklava right??? hehehe

Our other P's all have either blue or green LEDs. These 2 have red - WOW! is it a bright red.
yeah.......I saw that in the hangout on Jeff's and man that was an eye killer! I don't deal with led's anymore, but always preferred blue. Green is second......never did like red of any kind.

that was soooooo sweet of you to get extras to pass on to folks. That's a wonderful gift to get. Hope they get your refund done soon.

Gary, sorry they didn't treat you right hun.

Someone suggested I check again, and to be as fair as possible to Vixen Vapors, they DID issue me a refund for two of the Provari 2.5s that they did not send.
However, they did NOT issue me any refund yet for the third unsent P 2.5.
Plus, the receipts that they sent along with the packages were not corrected either. They show all 8 as being shipped, even though only 5 were shipped.
Nevertheless, it was a deal too good to pass up and I'm glad I got the 5. I'll never use any of them myself, since to do so would require that I either get an extension tube or a different battery type than I already have.
My unchanged opinion of Provari, even though I've never used one and probably never will: Yesterday's Technology Perfected Today!

I plead guilty to being more a fan of those companies who are willing to gamble on trying to use Tomorrow's technology today.

They aren't kiddin' when they say we know how to help people empty their pockets. Should I buy a couple in case I ever decide to try something other than my simple single-coil builds? Nah... well, maybe... well....

Wow ... I don't even want one ... but I'm tempted to buy just 'cause the price is so dang low. :D Nope ... I probably have about 8 or so decent atty's not even in use.

Well if I'd gotten 6 out of 8, that would have been more than 2 out of 3, which Mr Loaf tells us ain't bad. But, as I said, I got 5 out of 8, which is less than 2 out of 3.

But I don't feel bad, cuz 5 out of 8 ain't bad.

I can relate. If I have something I don't use but see it for much less than I paid for it, I sometimes buy more, thinking I've somehow reduced my original cost. Doesn't quite work that way... I end up having spent more money and now have more things that I don't use.

Then again, I feel I have personally inspired the next latest and greatest vaping gear on several occasions, by stocking up on the current latest and greatest. Know what I mean?

I really have no interest in the latest part, unless it's also the greatest. I've settled on my KF's & stocking parts for them. I would like to get several Magma's & Achilles drippers so I'l always have something for testing my DIY. Those are the only 2 drippers I can find that screw together so I can get them apart. I can't pull a dripper apart even if attaching it to a mod. I end up using different tools to try to get them apart which is just ridiculous. So I'm looking those 2 or anything else that screws together.

Now I'm just the opposite, I can usually get a pull off top cap off easier than a screwy one because I can rock it. But sometimes both are difficult. That is another thing I love about the derringer clone. Pretty easy to get off, ya just gotta make sure the AFC ring doesn't go flying.

Today i shall be pifing my beloved itaste svd and kanger protank to a friend who is struggling, i shall miss them, but they go to a higher calling.

awwwww so sweet, and I hope it's just what your friend needs. I know you've likely checked this...... but what nic level are they vaping? Might need to up it some. I had cravings for at least 8 months til I went back to 24mg nic. 3 years later anything below about 21 still gives me cravings and makes me wanna hurt someone!
