I have been daydreaming on the Provari's in the classies, in case someone wants to check that out. There are seven available. Quite a range of prices.

I took a look at the classies. I like two of them. Keep in mind that I'm very cheap.
- ProVari V2 with NINE batteries! 7 18650s and 2 18490s with two bottom caps (so can use either size battery) for $125
- ProVari 2.5 Black/Red with original and extension cap for $115

Actually, I prefer the V2. It's the best deal. And, the electronics inside V2 and V2.5 are identical.

I think those are the best deals. If I wanted to spend more, I'ld just buy a brand new blem from Provape.

Let us know what you decide.



ETA: I just took a closer look at the picture of the V2. It's really a V2.5!

Can someone please 'splain me what makes the Nautilus P3 tank better than the regular old normal Nautilus tank? The ProVape website says it has P3 threads and results in a better vape than the 510 threads. Before I hit "Add to cart," I'd like to understand what makes the new one special. Thanks!

If I was so inclined, which I'm not, I'd ask ProVape WHY it's supposed to vape better. It does seem to me that the P3 connection is more secure (as in solid and firm) than a 510 connection, but an Ego connection is also more secure than a 510 connection.

Actually quitting this time was one of the easiest things I have ever done. I just wish we could make the powers that be understand how good vaping is as a smoking cessation tool.
That would make it a pharmaceutical product and BP would mess it up in no time flat.
Look at vaping as a tobacco REPLACEMENT product

I'm seeing a lot of double posts. It's not a race to see if we can get to 15,000 in a month. Just edit your post if no one has said anything since. Use the multi-quote to respond to more than one person.

Also we are getting a higher percentage of off topic. The mods WILL move the thread to the lounge if we are not careful. I think that the rush to get the last thread to the max got people into a bad habit. Let's just move those to the other porch :D

Today, well... Last night, I ordered 250ml of the Maui Sunrise from MBV (mt baker vapor). I seem to have an abundance of the sour/lemon vapes and need to re-branch out.
For some reason, I'm getting burning from my 1.9 to 2.2 Ω coils at 6.5 wats... Not sure why, never had that issue before... I took out a flavor wick, and got burning AND flooding. Strange.

Welcome aboard! It's nice to see another Texan here!

What - another Texan. Wait - let me check the rules book. Oh yea - that's right there is no book, but we do have lots of space and spare rockers for Un Lurkers... Welcome Shortymydog - sit a spell and join the group. We share - you share and we all learn from sharing... ;)

I'll just wait. The prices will likely go down with time. I need to give my budget time to catch up with my spending. :facepalm:

Hello folks. Thought I'd pop in and have a look, maybe book a rocker. Happy vaping. :)
Welcome .. no need to "book" a rocker, we always have a ton of "extra,s" for new friends showing up :2cool:

I use an authentic KFL+ and have frequently vaped it dry enough that if I tilt it I do not see any liquid at all. No flavor drop off, no loss of pressure. I'm lazy that way, especially if I am caught up in a game on the computer. :oops:
Ditto, and I do that with ALL my tanks, mainly because when I go to refill, I'll change flavors.
PS Semi .. I radically change, so they don't do so good of a job "blending" :unsure:

What's an R80 - I'm only familiar w/ M80's and ya sure wouldn't want to vape one of those.
https://www.myfreedomsmokes.com/mods-rbas/r80-folding-telescoping-mechanical-mod-kit.html
Cut little guy huh .. I had to check to make sure it vaped in the folded position first, and it does, so that makes it "stealth" in the hand or pocket.
I got a black, and a red, so I can go with two flavors, and tell them apart.
Anything less than 2 flavors, and I don't stray far from home, since I'm used to have 8 flavors handy :ohmy:

I think it may be a bit mor solid but I got a Kayfun V4 with 510 threading instead of paying the $13 extra for the P3 connection and it is very solid. There is a tiny lip because the P3 is like the other Provari's slightly bigger that 22mm but it is so unnoticable, and it makes it less flexible if you want to use it on another mod. Mine is plenty solid on the P3.

Well like 'bigs' was saying it will be a more secure fit and it will likely have a bit better conductivity due to more surface area of the connection. Now will that translate to a better vape - honestly I'm a bit dubious given the P3 is VW. For whatever minor voltage difference between the 510 and P3 connection delivered to the atty (assuming the 510 has more of a voltage drop than the P3), you could easily up the setting a tad and make up for the difference.

Welcome back to the porch Shorty. How's your vaping habits/gear changed since you've been here?

Well I kind of expected a bunch of non-vaping posts what with the excitement of coming to the new porch as well as greeting a lot of new folks.

But it's a good reminder Ken, so we don't get into a bad habit here.

Awww! So cute! Obligatory vape content: Look at these cool O-rings:

They're spring-energized PTFE. Can't imagine they would help in any way, but they sure look pretty.

Also, my Koh Gen Do just arrived, and fortunately one of the Big Buddhas is now empty. I sense a rewick in its near future.

For the pet posts - see my avatar. That is Tasha, CH Sky Acres USS Stargazer, RA (CH and RA are titles we earned, Sky Acres is the breeders kennel name). She is a Belgian Tervuren. I lost my 14 yr, 7 mo, 4 day old best bud and best working partner 1 week ago today to old age. But he beamed up at home, peacefully, with me by his side. Multi titles Maplerun's Trouble with Tribbles, aka Spock.

Back on topic, I use mostly rebuilt EVOD/Protank style clearos and I label my mega multi clearos (20+?) With ptouch labels so i know what is where. I am a flavor changing junkie, guilty!
