Provari shopping list, input requested

[bosun]

Newbie here, 2 months, 2 weeks, 5 days without a cigarette and damn proud of it!
Using 808d-1 system. Cartos, clearos, 510 ATTY. I like the convenience but...
Was thinking of upgrading to a Halo Triton VV, also an 808 system. But been reading up on the Provari..birthday coming up (as if I need an excuse) and so many people say to quit fooling around and get a Provari and be done upgrading!!!
Seriously looking at a Provari V2.5, with two 18490 batteries. Retired so don't need a crazy long hour battery but I can always upgrade again (G).
Asking for recommendations for appropriate gear. A GOOD battery charger (the Pila 4 Stage seems highly recommended), tank (Vivi Nova?), cartos (Boge?), clearos, etcetera..
Not into rebuilding my own yet, maybe next month (g).
Been going thru the threads and my head hurts! Would appreciate your input and a source URL.
Thanks!!!

Provari V2.5
Extension cap for 18650 battery
Pila charger
HH 357 3.0 atomizer..............as good as any RBA in a small package that's great for dripping

Thanks Riverboat. Probably add in the extender to have it 'just in case' (g).

I was in the same boat as you. Treated myself to an eBaron dripper pro with bottle atty. couldn't be more excited!!! Look into it if you're interested in dripping!

I drip with a cheap 510 ATTY with an adapter. Still trying to keep things as simple as possible, which is why I'm asking for input. Reading thru threads..leakers..broken threads...bad cartos and other devices that have a high failure rate or a percentage that just don't work right out of the box or as advertised. Sifting thru the fanboy and FUD info. I'm used to top coils so that is what I like..haven't had a failure or leaker yet. Maybe just use a 510 to 808 adapter and continue using the 'cheap' stuff I have. Now if I tell that 808 to 510 adapter I have that it really is a 510 to 808 adapter maybe it will believe me and work (g). I dunno..maybe I'm not ready for further complications...

Seems like you have it covered except for the carto/clearo/tank part. That's going to be more challenging to figure out. I like clearomizers with top wicks the best but the Protank looks great on a ProVari. I'd rather not muck around with cartomizers as I make a big mess priming them. I've watched the videos and even went to a local shop to have them show me how. I got home and still made a big mess. Lots of people like them though. Glass tanks are probably better than plastic so you don't have to worry about juices that melt plastic.

I guess I'll just hit the provape site and do a wish list for now (g). I wanna upgrade and then I don't...probably just need some sugar to get my blood/sweetness level up!

Besides longer battery life the ext. cap has a rounded edge vs. the standard caps sharp cornered edge...feels much nicer in the hand,,,

Cheap attys are what they are...cheap attys! HH's don't leak and perform like no others..........

It was a hard fight but I finally talked myself into it. Silver Provari, Nitecore I4 charger, boge cartos, vivi nova v3 tank, clearos, bunch of misc stuff. Credit card company will be happy with me this month!

Got it!
What can I say? Perhaps "yummy"? Put an adapter on it (510 -> 808) and going through my filled carts and clearos....definitely an improvement!
