I checked their website, but didn't see any Provaris. I might go there sometime to check it out, it's not that far.



Good to know. Is it always on a week day or do they update on weekends too?

CigTechs had them in the store only, not online. And for release dates for ProVari, the Facebook ProVape pages gives the info.

I finally sprung for a black satin Provari with blue LED a few hours ago. I have been debating with myself about getting one for about a month & finally did based on everybody's testimonials on these forums. I'm still slightly skeptical, but I imagine that will change once I actually hold it in my hand & vape it. If not, I'm hunting you all down. lol

Haha. At least they have a return policy.

Hunt away my friend! I would be shocked if you weren't happy with it. I received the twin of yours (in mini) on Friday. I vaped it all weekend long, with a juice I was "meh" about. The regulated battery gave that juice such a nice vape that I am sad that the bottle is almost empty! And even when the battery got low the vape tasted exactly like the first vape from a fresh battery. Consistency and reliability are beautiful things! :D

I've been tobacco free for well over 100 days, so I've decided to join the Provari club! I will expect my initiation as soon as I get it. I am having trouble deciding on the full-size vs the mini, as well as what color to get. I really REALLY like the polished stainless steel, but it is out of stock (just my luck). I've been told they sold out very fast. Is it even reasonable to think I will land one when they are in stock again? I like the black one too, so I'm trying to decide if I should wait and hope to get the stainless steel or just go ahead and get the black. It's quite a bit of money and I don't want to regret my decision later. Does anyone here have the polished SS? The Provape site says it scratches easier than the other colors. How easy are we talking? Is the black one matte or shiny? I like shiny. As far as the mini vs full-size, I just like the tear drop design better. I think the full-size is necessary for me though, since I vape a lot and will require the 18650s. Please, help me make a decision! This is the first time in my life I have ever been so indecisive about something!

I have the polished stainless mini. If you like shiny you gotta have this one. I tried to get it at the first release and was too late. I also liked the black but had my heart set on the polished stainless, there is just something about it. So when the release on the 27th of September came I was there ready with the buy button at noon and got one. I also checked back and saw they had them for a day or so before they sold out. I assume that Provape knew what the demand would be and had a larger supply because they didn't sell out as fast as the initial release.
I went back and forth between the standard and the mini and went with the mini because I wanted a stealthier unit for out and about in the pocket. I got the extension cap to use the 18490 battery. As far as vape time of course this is subjective based on how you vape. Since I got this I have been a chain vaper! Using lower resistance rebuildable atomizers I get around 4 hours (estimate) with the 18350 and have a couple so one is always ready to go. On the 18490 @1100mah I can vape mucho longer than the 700mah 18350 but haven't timed it. So for me vape time on a battery is not an issue.
The size of the mini to me is not only practical in many ways but extremely sexy and like you I love the teardrop design. As far as being a fingerprint magnet don't believe it . I am sitting here looking at mine that I handled all day and the only area there is a hint of a smudge is the smooth area around the display window. In regards to the scratching I haven't had it long enough to tell but I treat my equipment well. Seeing that it is SS it has to be durable, I'm not rubbing it against abrasive objects and in the event it was scarred I would polish it out, so I am not concerned. Conclusion wait and get what you really want you are going to live with this a long long time; just sayin'. PROVARI STAINLESS.jpg

I've had my black mini for a while and bought the polished one also. I've been using it for a few weeks now and haven't got any scratches, but the beauty of the polished one is you can polish them out! :) Here's a couple pics that I posted in another thread. I also bought the polished extension cap which looks great on the black mini.

The stainless is pretty! Very visible ! any topper will look great on it.

I have a black mini and am waiting for my silver end cap to show up. The polished looks cool on your black. I'm hoping the silver will match the top ring and look balanced.

I prefer the full size myself. But if you must have the teardrop mini, and the 18650 option. No sweat just order 1 Tatroe extension tube and the ProVape extension cap.

You know I love you right?.........RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

I've been searching high and low for this specific answer.
All I've ever come across, that I recall, is either the twins or 2 Tatroe rings.

So a BIG THANK YOU!
