Alright I just got approval for a Provari. Which means my budget is hanging in the 200 range.
So before I pull the trigger, some opinions are wanted.
First off, some info.
I quit analogs 9 months ago using disposables. Didn't know really anything else.
3 months ago entered into the VV world w/a Lavatube version1 and a Mini lavatube V2.
At first I was blown away, loved the new kit. I've accumulated several juices(vanilla, several, cinnamon, gandalf, arctic wolf, menthols, malty. and have used clear DCsmoketech carto's, boge SR and LR cartos, Smoketech tanks, prepunched and punched myself, and currently using Vivi Nova and stardust style new version clearomizer. Basically they all have started to work worse not better w/experience. I've heard about Bogegate and that blows cause I thought cartos were my favorite delivery system, but now none of them last or taste worth a sh_t so I keep trying the clearo's and vivi cause It's what works the best at the moment. My battery life sucks i.e. only 2 hrs on some of the 18350's and the mini is starting to not recognize cartos ie reading 9.9ohm or 0.9ohm and wont fire. I usually run 4.0 volts and almost never go above 4.5 volts cause it burns up cartos. Iv'e started using 3ohm attachments and still don't go higher than 4.5
I'm a chain vaper, maybe 6ml a day 6-3mg nic juices. I love thick mushroom clouds of vapor and will pick that over flavor.
So I;m hoping a Provari will make all the liquid feed problems go away w/stable power.

My choices so far
1 provari blemish +extension
2 provari mini no extension
3 your input here.

I have both. The blemish is out of stock now so your choices are full size or mini. I do have both. The mini is sweet but if you do chain vape you will be replacing batteries more often. If you go mini try & get the extension cap if you can. They are both great devices & you will be pleased whichever way you go.

Id wait for a provari and try a Phoenix RA. They're great for chain vaping.
do you have a link to Pheonix RA? MIni or standard. I'm starting to think mini and carry a couple extra batts
That's what I do now w/my mini vvv The current batts that I have are ICR18350 900mah and it looks like the provari's for the mini are IMR18350 700mah. I just don't want them lasting 3hrs or less.

There's a bit of a learning curve to the Phoenix. Getting your coils wrapped and all. Watch all the videos you can. RIPTrippers on YouTube is a good reference. Took me a few tries to get my coils tight but now I can pull one off and stick a brand new one on in about 2 minutes. It's great. Drippers dream. Holds about 12-15 drops I'd say although some say as much as 20. Hits like crazy and tons of vapor and flavor. If it gets old or dies just stick a new one on and keep in vaping. Some use the ss mesh wicks and just run one flavor out and go right to the next. I actually prefer a 100% cotton mesh. Any questions if you get one just pm me. The forums full on info on them as well.

It seems like you vape quite a bit so I'd go with something with a 18490 so you aren't swapping batteries during the day. I vape quite a bit when I'm off work but otherwise not much, still even with a lot of vaping my 18490's seem to last a couple days.

In the future I may order a Mini with 18350 strictly for going out and about, but for now I just use my satin black V2 as it's a little less conspicuous looking than the chrome V2.
