It is crazy. It is so stout and dense. The standard bottom cap is heavier than my rebuildable which was made in Germany and is pretty nice, not real light from China. The finish on the black mini is awesome. I love the satin, it shows no finger prints. The edges of the top and bottom caps are so precise, nice and sharp. It stands upright with the amp
tank on it filled and still stands nice and solid. I bumped it and it didn't tip over, it just slide while staying up, haha. If you look close, the steel of the caps is really hard, you can tell how many passes the lathe did, it's a lot. I thought the blue screen would look like my zmax with a real bright sort of glary shine, but this is slightly purplish blue, not as bright, and a little smaller, which makes it look tasteful, perfect, and well thought out. The button is not clicky, which I knew, but it gives good feedback while still being softish comfy and relaxing. Battery life is better than I thought in small mode. Can't say for sure yet, but it lasted from noon till now on a battery that started at 3.8 volts. As if saying FU to me and my provari, while I was typing this, my zmax fell over and clipped the amp
tank leaving a hairline cracking in the glass. That's the second glass in four days, I have extra. I definitely made the right choice going with the mini, the size is great other than my first
mod, the ZMax, my other three mods are all American made. I love my buzz pro but I keep bashing up the button and adjuster knob. It is nice to have a provari that I can have confidence in, it is nice having a mod with a lifetime warranty. The provari, in my opinion, is so, not, overrated. It makes me happy knowing yours is in the mail.
