...aight, so - last week I had a customer (whom was hardware rich but cash strapped for liquid) offer me a Provari 2.5, with the 18650 extension cap, in trade for some liquid. I intended to PIF it, or use it for a contest, or something. I have a Provari myself and, honestly, I barely touch the thing... so, it would suffice to say, this thing needs a new home.

Here's the quandary... it's the "black" one and it's been riding in a pocket for quite some time. I'd stop short of saying it looks "abused" - let say it's well loved.

Would it be laim to use this for a contest? I mean, it's used... but, HELLO, it's a Provari!

Is anyone aware of anyone we could trust to paint and refinish this thing? I'd put some coin into refinishing it and painting it up nice for our upcoming anniversary and give it to the NT family. I'm thinking something durable, kinda like the paint you would get on a semi-truck... ya know?

I guess I'd like to find an cost effective way to put some polish on this mod, and then find an equitable way to give it away. Other thoughts, suggestions?

As far as refinishing, it may be more cost effective to sand/strip the existing paint and get a 'wrap (custom NT'?) for it. Pif , have some kind of contest, or have Katy sell it to DB' . . . . :D

Well, I would say that with the background given of the device I would not want it polished. I would take it as is with the built in story to tell about its appearance.

Maybe the contest could be to submit your best vaping story, (to go with the story behind the provari) but keep it lighthearted. Maybe a funny incident that happened while vaping. Or just an interesting story in general in regards to vaping. I say that because the whole how vaping helped me quit smoking thing while always good seems a bit overdone as a contest at this point.

Just my thoughts.

I think we'll keep it simple - congrats DB! :) Right place at the right time!

Love it. I think that it can't be like those people that win a new car on Wheel of Fortune but can't drive it because of taxes. If it wouldn't take a month for me to ship stuff, I would be hooking him up with an Igo, some kanthal, batteries and a charger. I think we should work on this.
