Hey TopCat
Iif you are looking to buy the The 510 MAP-Tank E2 Mod 2.8ohm
$29.99 from clouds of vapor.
I found a coupon, bigbuyer , It gave me a 10% discount.
They have it in 2.4 2.8 and 3.0. I decided on the 2.8 but the 3.0 would be fine too. I figure that generally the higher the OHM the more durable the filament, so I chose the 2.8 which is in the middle. Probably should have chosen the 3.0 but what the heck.
They are always out of them but they have a "Notify Me" button and you enter your email address. I was informed they had them within 2 days of signing up. You have to pay attention because they usually sell out within a few hours. Seems they are producing them on a weekly basis and they push that notify button and everyone is buying up all they have!!
As I said before, can't recommend them because I'm waiting for the cartomizer to arrive. But the reviews have been favorable so I'm giving it a try. The good or bad thing is that they are selling replacement guts for only $5.00 and I saw a movie on youtube of the replacing of it but it looks like you need to be handy to do the replacement. It's not like oh just pop in a replacement cartridge. I think that vaping 5 ml without having to do anything is going to be great.
It's so funny I went for a year with my old fashioned fuddy duddy system and now I've gone High-Tech all the way.

BTW I tried the condom method of filling. I turned my rubber inside out because both front and back have blockage bumps. It definitely works great really saturates the cartomizer. I was skeptical, but it works
Had mine for a few months and it really has no equal as far as I'm concerned. The darwin is the only one that comes close. I don't like the size, shape, or connector on that. Plus no removable battery. Provari will stand the test of time. The finish is the best I've had on my devices. It doesn't fingerprint or scratch easily. Sent it across pavement a few times and it looks like new. Can't go wrong and you'll forget about any reservations on price after using it! Love it.
I'm stuck on the batteries you're using. I did a little research and I don't think they appear to be high-drain batteries. Regardless, it sounds like you're having a pretty good experience using them in your ProVari. Have you ever had a moment where the unit acted funny using these batteries (ie. didn't fire, menu didn't work properly, etc)?
I'm thinking about picking a few of these up for myself, but want to be extra careful about which batts I use (since I love my ProVari!).

I've had a provari for about a week, and it's pretty decent. The battery life is much lower than I was expecting - I don't even get a full work day out of an 1100mAh AW IMR 18490. I ordered an extension cap and a AW 18650 to see if that is enough to make it through. I like the drip reservoir, but I wish the connection sat lower in it. Excess liquid leaks out and into the reservoir (good) but because the air holes sit level with the top, that liquid just site there. Had the connector been lower, you would have sucked the excess liquid back into the atty instead of wasting it.
The size and weight are not a deal-breaker for me, but it certainly could be thinner and lighter. After using a Joker for six months, the provari is a beast. The length is appropriate - you couldn't make it any shorter and still have room for the battery and PCB. The I'm not sure why they decided to use such thick tube stock for the body, or why the endcap alone weighs almost as much as an empty joker. Thinner metal, tighter tolerances on the inner tube diameter, and machined-out endcap would have made a world of difference.
The pleasant surprise was the control system. The button is good, and even though I though the 1-button setting system would be a hassle, it's actually easy to adapt to.
All in all, I'm not sorry I bought it. Had the darwin been available, I would have gone with that instead. I may still get a darwin to try out when they're in stock somewhere decent, and sell whichever unit I like least.

the Provari is the first "smart" pv to make it to market.
Very few problematic units as far as I've seen so they did their homework.
Provape knows their stuff, and the warranty is for a year, and customer service top notch.
This is a good time to start vaping... those that have been through the evolution of pv's can fully appreciate the technology.
If you stay within the suggested parameters you won't go wrong... lol, this pv does more than all the prior pv's to date.
Main thing is it will take any atty/carto within 2. to 4. Ohm and give you the best vape possible, every single time, without a glitch.
With this pv, the onus is on atomizer technology to improve; make more durable atomizers.
There are other "smart" pv's out now too and more to come but Provape has set the standard high.

I"ve been using the SoShine Battery since I received the unit on Friday. Absolutely no problems with it. Nothing out of the ordinary on the menu. No error messages. As I mentioned earlier I ran the battery down to around 1/4 to 1/3 using my lithium flashlight and it was showing a voltage of 3.5 but it still ran perfectly. The battery lasts so long through normal vaping that I couldn't make a dent in it otherwise it wouldn't have run that long in my flashlight..
The SoShine Charger is quality. It uses the higher quality protocol and charges the batteries very quickly. 650mah to charge battery vs 360ish on a cheaper charger.
Candre 33 if you do the math your current battery is 1100mah the Soshine is 2800mah this is more roughly 2 1/2 times more Mah so if your current setup is lasting 6 hours than it'll last 16 hours using the other battery. That should be more than plenty to get you through the day.
Go to Amazon and read the reviews on this charger and battery, it has the highest reviews of any battery or charger. Remember people are quick to relate the bad experience on Amazon and slow to tell the good. So even though there aren't too many reviews it's still enough.
I do agree the Soshine Batteries are a little risky because there is no track record on the Provari as to how long they'll hold up. But if they don't hold up than I can always go out and buy the AW. But at 2800 vs 2200 which is the largest button top AW we are talking 30% higher MAH. For me worth the risk.

I agree with halftodoit, I have had my Provari vv for months and it is the most technologically advanced unit so far and will stand up to a ton of abuse. Well made, heavier than others but worth it. The Eclipse juice fed mod may be more advanced but it will be bigger and cost $300. You cannot beat the Provari for durability, consistent voltage and great service behind their brand!
from the beginning, when Provari was not on the market, here in the ECF Provari thread, folks were talking about larger mah, protected Li-ion 18650's... and Provape said the IMR recommended (AW 18490 1100mah, and the 1600 mah 18650) while less mah, have the advantages of producing the widest range of applications for the Vari.
As far as I can tell, you are talking about duration of vaping time vs. range of application, and also ignoring Provape's recommendation.
I have 9 IMR AW 18650's (1600 mah) and a Pila charger that i rotate with 2 Provari's. I vape 6 - 9 ml juice per day, and use most of 2 batts a day... no problem. I sold the AW IMR 18490's just for the reason you are talking about; longer vape time on one batt.
I was curious about using protected Li-ions because i had quite a few for my previous pv's, of different spec models... and wanted to use them since i sold off most of my pv's to settle on the Vari, but i figured best to go with the recommended battery/s... at least you have the choice of buying the extension cap for the longer batts.

I've had my provari for about a week and a half now. I did a lot of research and agonized over my decision to buy it due to the cost. I couldn't be more thrilled with my decision.
A couple of things that concerned me when making my decision was the weight and having to push the button so many times to make changes. I can now say those worries were fruitless. When I first picked it up it did seem heavy to me. It took all of 2 minutes to get used to the weight. It's really not that heavy. As far as the button pushes....it's really pretty easy. I had originally thought that having a dial to adjust the voltage would be easier, but I now think the button is the best method. It seems like a dial would be too easy to accidentally change on you.
Vaping with a vv is a whole new experience.

I think the ProVari is the inevitable end of the line, at least until someone makes something cooler, which there hasn't been a whisper of, yet. I will have to start saving my allowance so I can eventually join the club.
Great review !! One of the side effects of my purchase was that I no longer was constantly looking for a better e cig on ECF so my time on the forum has been a lot less . It has satisfied all the the things I was looking for except I wish it could made smaller say like the mini glv but other than that it is about as good as it's gonna get with a mod . Also now that I've has it a while and had time to really test it I can say this thing is TOUGH I can't even tell you now how many times I've dropped it and other than maybe resetting the battery it works without fail . Last night I dropped it from the top of my stairs probably 10 feet down to the hard wood floor and it hit on the first pull ! Plus it's hard to scratch this thing . I can't wait to see what provape comes up with next .
and this isn't just vv, it's power regulated vv...
i've had both "smart pv's" and settled on the Vari specifically for those reasons you state: not sure but if you are a woman (never thought of this before), imo it's a no brainer between the two. because of ease of function. and the weight and heft is merely assurance of a well made unit.
the other pv, well made and weighty too, a fine unit, imo more complicated...
the Vari is my choice. kind of like when the automatic "point and shoot" cameras came out...
I got the AW IMR 18650s and extension cap for my provari a couple days ago, and it's still disappointingly short-lived. I'm only getting about 6hrs out of a 1600mAh battery, which seems awfully low.
Depends on what voltage you're on, I think on the site it says how much battery life it can withstand with each volt.
that's 6 hours of the best vaping you can get out of any type of atty with 2 to 4.5 Ohm resistance... I rotate 2 IMR 18650's per Vari each day.
I have 2 Vari's, 10 of these batts ($10 ea. at RTD) and a Pila charger... 'couldn't be happier.

Received the MAP-Tank E2 Mod 2.8 around 2 days ago and waited for a syringe. Turns out the Syringe was too thick to go anywhere. So I tried filling it from the top. Than tried filling from the bottom. Same thing happens even covering the opposite holes big mess.
Than I remembered a confusing You Tube Movie and just simply took the top off. The top meaning where you put the drip tip not where you screw in the atomizer. It came off easily, than I filled the tank around 2/3 and was careful to dry the edges of the glass tube and the cap.
One of the posts said that if you don't dry it, it'll leak. Reinserted the top and vaped.The atty was recognized as 2.9 and I dialed it up to 4.4 very nice. At 5 it started to taste burn.
This cartomizer is the missing link, it vapes like a 801 not like a 510 very flavorful tons of smoke. So far no leakage or sputtering. The vape is the most flavorful that I've experienced in a 510 setup.
I found though that the highest I can go on the 2.8 atty that is showing at 2.9 it is 4.4v otherwise it tastes burnt. So this cartomizer is not for everyone. If you are looking for a little less heat lots of flavor and voluminous smoke than you'll like this.
Uh oh, I wanted to hate this tank. My wife is going to look at the clear tank like I'm taking drugs, and I have 15 atomizers that are going to go to waste because I won't want to vape anything else. I'll check in at the end of the weekend to see how this holds up. I have a feeling I'm going to be vaping alot from now to then. I usually raise the nic level to around 33 but I'm going to stick to the 24 on this one. I already am feeling on the edge!! By the way I'm vaping Halo Torque 56
