I am sad. It appears that I ordered a week too late. I was going to pay for the device with Pay Me Later in Paypal and Protovapor has been asked to stop accepting PayPal for payment. (stupid paypal....really???? It's just a battery...but I digress).

I will have to go ahead and save up some additional vape budget so I can make an order.

I'll have to "make due" with my two MVP's and my sigelei Zmax v3. So I have plenty of good mods right now. Thankfully I got a couple of kayfun clones in my last purchasing run. IMHO the addition of the kayfun's have done more to increase my pleasure than any of the mods I have.

I'm still stoked about this product, and as soon as I save up some vape funds, I expect to add the Protovapor. The XPV is currently at the top of my list. Followed by the 134 mini and in third place, the ProVari.

You may bump the provari off your list. A lot of people on this thread had a provari and they found this better. Im waiting for my xpv to come in and may join the ranks to the provari dispossessed.

Any of you that are dispossessed and have the ProVari Mini that you are looking to part with I have a friend that may be interested, but if you are like me you would just keep it anyway. I love my XPV, but I don't necessarily agree that it displaces the ProVari, they both have their place in my vaping life. Kinda like is one single malt scotch (for those that like scotch) truly any better than other single malts when compared to a blended? Just sayin... lol.

Picked up a new toy for the XPV today -- the Curvamizer from NHaler. Never really cared for genny's before, but this has been performing very well with a micro coil and cotton build. Nice size for both the standard and mini XPV (sorry for the poor photos -- camera has been acting up -- time for a new one.)

I second that, can't wait to get mine!

P.opus, pay pal is a jerk outfit sorry to here about your plight.

It's especially stupid when I purchased 2 vv3's and 2 MVP's from two different Ebay Vape stores....with PayPal...And who owns PayPal?

Just dumb.

That's ok. I'm good. I have two MVP's working flawlessly, I have a Sigelei V3 which is a wonderful little VW/VV mod. I even have one VV3 left in my pen cup at work as my hot standby emergency vape....

I'm good to go for the time being.....

Yeah, but between the 3% that PayPal alone gets, and the 10% (or is it even more now?) that fleaBay gets, it's darn lucrative for them to overlook that.

Agreed. They are both in my rotation. My kayfun is permanently attached to the provari. Love the xpv with the Squape. I do however have a ZNA on the way which could throw everything off lol

I like the ZNA's design very much, but the fact that it's meant for an 18500 and looks goofy with an 18650 tube, combined with the fact that there's no on-board charging capability made me decide I'm probably not getting one. If Zen were to make a ZNA+ that extended the "backpack" to 18650 size and used the additional space in there for the charger board, I'd be all over it. Of course, he has little incentive to do that right now since regular ZNAs are selling faster than he can make 'em.

the zna was on my list until i disovered the XPV, since the vape budget is a little tight I have to choose which one i would want. the customizability of colors and options for the XPV makes this a better choice for me.

The thing for me is that the ZNA uses proprietary threading limiting choices...

Agreed. Some people drool over the ZNA, but I do not find myself as one of those people. It definitely is a very attractive device, but I'll never own one. The 18650 is a big deal for me, and the on-board charge port is personally beneficial.

On a side note, I just have noticed that my XPV order is going to ship much earlier than expected. If you put an order in on their old website, using their Order Form, you have a higher spot in the queue than others who have only ordered using their new webpage. Here's to hoping it ships Monday.

I don't consider something proprietary when the manufacturer publishes specification on his site for all to see and even encourages others to use them. In fact, Z2 threading is closer to a standard metric thread than either 510 or eGo. Lastly, the device comes with a flush-fitting Z2 to 510 adapter. So by the time it's all said and done, I don't see Z2 threading as a drawback.
