Older Folks and Vaping

Yes there is. Just google 'usb power strip' or 'usb hub'. Look for one that has an A/C power cord and if the specs are given try to get one where each port runs at full power if all ports are in use.

And make sure that it is a charging hub. The one I have now has two 1a outlets and two 2a (which I need for my kindle fire hd) but some hubs don't have the oomph to actually charge more than one thing at a time. If anyone wants, I could look up the Amazon order I got mine on and post a link.

Now, that's only one of da galaxy of mods that would suit your needs. HERE'S a telescopic VV/VW mod I have on order due to it's flexibility with VV/VW capability.
Just noticed your join date... where ya been?

I see you linked to the V3 of that mod. Why not the V5 instead?

Addressing other issues from other posters...

Is the eGo 18650 still in production? The much more expensive ($100+) VV option from JoyTech seems to have replaced it.

As far as where I've been... Well, once I had a setup I found acceptable I didn't have much need to drop by here. Perhaps more importantly I wouldn't be tempted to buy yet another mod

Pain/comfort issues change with the weather Some days the biggest issue is the weight, others I'm extremely sensitive to pressure so harsh edges and difficult to press buttons (placement or actual force required) are the biggest problem and on yet others it's bending my fingers so button placement or feed button pressing is an issue. tanks have improved drastically to the point where I finally find some acceptable but I still prefer the taste I get from a 901 atty (or 801) and dripping. I prefer my vape cool with flavor and vapor as opposed to the general preference for a hotter vape via the 510 and lr devices.

One of the telescoping devices (or just one with multiple tubes) might be a good choice. Where I could switch out the 18650 for a 18340 when weight is important and I'll just have to deal with the fact it takes 3 of them to equal the bigger battery for vape times. I liked the Indulgence for that reason, just didn't like the poor build quality.

Provari questions ........

There are places on the website that say you can use 18490/18500
Does that mean I can use either /or ?
Then, they refer to 18490 only, as an option if your ordering and want to add batteries.
So, am I seeing out dated advice refering to the 18490/18500 section, and now it's 18490 only ??
It's confusing, as they are not consistant in what size to use.

I have devices that use 18650, 18350, and 18500
I sure don't need to add another size to keep track of (like in what goes with what)
As it is, I keep the mods and batteries that match each other separated from the other mods and their batteries.

Also, they say the finish is ceramic ... will white ceramic discolor ?
I had a white spinner a long time ago, and it sure was pretty when new ... but it turned yellow
Granted it wasn't ceramic ... but I have no experience with a ceramic finish,..so ???

One more ... if I do decide to buy one, is getting the extra year warrantee worth it, or a waste of money.
Thought they were suppose to last longer than that

Sitt'in on the fence here
Any info welcome from you provari owners.

According to the provape website:

The standard ProVari takes a single 18490/18500 battery. The ProVari uses a special boost circuit to adjust the voltage to your desired level and single battery devices are considered the safest you can own!
The optional extension cap replaces the stock end cap and allows you to use a single 18650 battery. This will extend the length of the device and offer you longer run times between charging. When purchasing this option you will still receive the original end cap so you can use both battery types.

We recommend only using AW IMR high drain batteries in your ProVari
You must use batteries that have a positive button on the top. Flat top batteries will not work.

ProVari Variable Voltage Ecig: Best Variable Voltage E Cig Available!

So.
To get it to use the 18650 you need the optional cap
Use only batteries approved for the device as well, I would say

Slots, there's only a 1mm difference between an 18500 and an 18490. I don't think 1 mm is enough to make a difference. If anything, it's the need to specifically get a button-top that matter more.

 

[williegntx]

Yep..you qualify
Nice collection, too. Where'd you get the holder? Nice clean look!

WHO, ME???

Thanks, Willie. I made it using a scrap of cherry wood and some polycarbonate. The Elmer's is for shipping purposes, not vaping!!

I'd say 'no'. I have 2 Provari's a little over 2 years old, 1 a few month's short of 2 years and Janet has 1 about a year old. I bought the warranty but in hindsight from personal experience and what I've heard over the last couple years from other owners - you should consider the 1 year included warranty to be 'fine'. That said - my mini did have trouble when it was about 3-4 month's old. It had one of the 'E' errors indicating an internal board error. But that was covered within the original warranty - and I should say, turn-around time to get it fixed was very fast. They must have fixed it and had it back in the mail the day it arrived to them. It was only a week from the time I sent it back, to having it in my hands again.

Hello all! Name is Dan. I'm 55 and finally quit smoking the week before christmas after 40 yrs. I started with an eGo kit and quit stinkies immediately. I swore I was just going to stop smoking and not start a new hobby but now I have a couple mechs and rebuildables.

That's good news, Yep..all my batteries are button top.
I already have a bunch of 18500's for a mechanic, and didn't want to add the 18490 to the collection.
Trying to keep it simple.
It's probably going to happen anyway when I start using a kick in some of the mechanics, but at least I won't have to add a different size if I p/u a provari.
Still trying to justify the $$ in my head when I could buy about 3 other "good" ones for the same $$
Thanks for the info

Yeah Ken, I would do that .. I like my 18650's
I took a liking to that "Spider" end cap ... to bad you can't use that end cap with a 18650
Thanks

The weather has been so strange and not very nice this winter for sure... Hope you don't get too much to deal with.
