LOL!

Perhaps he or she was just out to cause a ruckus and you happened to be the lucky one to get chosen for the robbery. They noticed something shiny and thought "hey! That looks expensive!"

Youre probably right. Makes me sick considering everybody that works their is at least a couple years older than me and are so called "professionals". (Im doing a paid marketing internship)

I annot function right now. I'm going to try to help.
Until you figure out how could of stolen your provaor
your going to beed to find a way to stay on the strait road.
rather than smoking cigaetes you might want to get some dispoasibles and some snus.
If you can find a tobacco shop in your area, there should be some swedish snus.
And if those shops sell snus, they might sell throw out e-cigs.
Get a pack of snus and some throw away icigs and your good.
the snus is cured in such a way where, it makes it fo that they pose no true danger to your body.
Swedish snus and a disposible e cig will get you through this.

Contact provape immediately. they mgiht be able to help you or help you toward yur next one.
And if not go for a spinner kit till you can strike a deal wit hprovape.

GOODNIGHT!

Yea Ive heard. Would be more of a take it into the car if I would be driving a lot that day etc
Summer here is not that hot at all - high 60's to low 70's with maybe one or two days that hit 80.

When you close the windows, lock the car and park it and you come back half an hour later and you say "oooh" and "ow" a lot as you try to slide onto the seat and grab the steering wheel, it's too hot. When you are driving around, you keep the interior at a human-friendly temperature so you're fine then. It's the sun and the enclosed area (car) with stagnant air that the problem.

ETA: The weather there sounds perfect. I'm moving. I hate hot, humid 90 degree summers.

Sorry for your loss. Could be someone who saw you using it and thought it was drug related. People have done a lot worse to get their hands on drugs. I doubt it was random. If you were just randomly looking for something to steal, why would you pick an intern's locker? If you were going to risk getting caught, wouldn't you choose a bigger score? Do you vape where others can see you? Have you ever explained what a Provari is to any of your co-workers? Just curious if they would know what it is because of any explanations you've given while there. If the thief thought it was drug paraphernalia, could be he thought you wouldn't report it when it went missing to save your own behind.

But don't start thinking that no one can be trusted. There are bad eggs out there and rotten eggs, but look at this thread--you posted about a problem and there are eight pages of posts full of sympathy and suggestions. There are still more good people than bad.

Vaping involves walking fine lines all the time. Doing it publicly so we make it more main stream, but being careful not to offend by doing it too publicly. Not wanting to be grouped with the smokers in most situations, but needing to be in others to keep the FDA off our back. And now, wanting to tell people about our PVs so more smokers know about the vaping option, but having to worry that if we do tell people, it puts our PVs at risk of being stolen. I'm giving up my gym membership because walking this tightrope is enough exercise for me. (JK, I never had a gym membership)

Well what else can I say?
Today at work my provari went missing out of my backpack and it just so happens that the CCTV cameras were not in operation.
I am completely livid that my possessions are not even secure in a locked locker in my workplace.

Now on to the main reason for this thread. It was the only mod that I currently had (other 3 are being used by my dad and 2 friends)
Since it is the weekend and there is no shipping, I gave in an bought a pack of reds - needs must etc. They were one of the biggest disappointments of my life so far and have only further reinforced that vaping is the way to go and that it is 100 times more enjoyable than cigarettes. I honestly was shocked, everything that I remembered being good was gone. The only two positives were that:

A ) It gave me the nicotine fix
B ) It itched my periodically urge

The taste was still the same but after being exposed to the world of flavours available to us vapers it just didnt do it for me anymore.

Sorry for the long, pointless post but I just had to get it off of my chest.

I'm sorry this happened to you. :( that really stinks.:mad:

Everything you said is so true. There is nobody else that vapes where I work, I go outside with the smokers so they know that I vape.
I have never went into detail about what a Provari is, its price and so forth - just that it is another style of e cig or PV as most people like to call them.

A nerdy young man that thought it to be a Lightsaber, lol. Or a woman thinking it was.....well, ya know.

I'd search around for the "Trekkies". Or was that a Star Wars thingy.

Please do not malign Trekkies. We would never steal. Now those Star Wars types, who knows.

Besides, everyone know a PV looks like a hypospray, not a lightsaber.

Edited to add: Yes I know my avatar is Star Wars related. I just like me some grumpy cat.

You might want to look into management or someone who might have known that the cameras weren't in working order. If the camaras are clearly visible, hopefully someone wouldn't be stupid enough to break into your locker without knowing that they weren't working properly. Personally, I'd be fit to be tied if someone stole mine, as I'm sure you already are.

I'll have to look into whats available. How much did yours set you back?
Id probably only want to spend around 100 for a good "car vape" although that is probably the excuse Id use to justify any purchase :p

For a car vape you can get a passthrough and an adapter. They work off your cigarette lighter and no batteries. (I don't have a car, but I do like passthroughs for when I'm sitting in one place.) They come in variable voltage these days.
