Provari Topper

[eHuman]

Been a hermit for a while, no time for forums. I'm considering adding a Provari to my quiver and want opinions on a tank.

Considerations in no particular order:
No rba (have plenty),
No carts (don't want to have to replace them weekly)
Cinnamon friendly (it's about all I vape)
Draw has to be open or adjustable (I lung hit)
Flavor flavor flavor (nuff said)
Decent vapor production (doesn't have to fog the room but should be capable of making driving in a closed car dangerous.)
4-6ml capacity for all day no fuss.
Serviceable is a plus, I can rebuild like anyone else. With this set up I want the option not to have to.
Doesn't need to break the bank, I'm a starving student (late in life career change).

Being away from the boards, there are plenty of new devices out that I haven't seen. Which ones most closely fill my spec wish list?

Fire away.

You might look at the Aspire Nautilus and BVC coils. Might fit your criteria.

Nautilus and BVC coils. It's glass and has an airflow control ring. And they come with the ProVari starter kit. However, they will have BDC coils. You will need to buy the BVC coils separately.

In my experience factory heads have a pretty similar life to cartos. If I could take the no-RBA off your list, there are some Genesis-style toppers out there with massive airflow perfect for lung hits. They're also one of the easiest/quickest to rebuild. Put some extra wick in there, pull it up, snip it off, Zippo-style.

Agree with the Aspire Nautilus with the new BVC ( coils ) -

Great flavor, taste and will last longer ( I go 2 weeks before I clean them ). Very easy to fill and comes with pyrex/glass tank.

Good Luck to You...Happy Vaping!!!

 

[dam718]

I'd have to add another +1 for the Nautilus with the BVC atomizers. Fits every one of your requirements...

 

[Trypno]

Aspire Nautilus and Aspire Nautilus Mini with the new BVCs. They come with glass tanks, but you can get stainless replacements for extra durability.


Adjustable airflow, no rebuilding, no cartos or holes to punch, just a refillable tank with replaceable heads, tanks, and drip tips that can handle acidic juices right out of the box.

Where's the best ($$$) place to get both the Aspire Nautilus and the BVCs? Provape doesn't have the coils.

Also, Has anyone found AW 18650 2000mAh batts in the $10 range?

 

[ckquatt]

I bought mine on ebay last week. I think $23 for the tank and $14 for a 5 pack of the BVC coils. It really does work a treat! I usually use IBTankeds so I wanted to try something different, as I'm waiting for my cartos to come back in stock. I'm not disappointed!

 

[eHuman]

Satin Silver / 650 ext and beauty ring on order.
Aspire Nautilus 5ml tank and 10 pk of 1.6Ω BVC coils on order.

Was that the blue pill or the red pill I just swallowed?

 

[keonee]

MyFreedomSmokes is running a 2 day special....50% off replacement heads ( limit 2 ). You need to use coupon code HALFPRICE. I ordered 2 packs of 1.8 ohm BVC's and it cost me $14.27 with shipping.

This is good while supplies last

Nice to see you back, Ehuman, and getting a Provari at that!

I purchase all of my AW batteries from RTD Vapor. They're an authorized AW vendor so I am assured not to get fake AW's like you easily could from Ebay or Amazon.

The 18650 2000 mah is a reasonable $11.27 each. You might get by with using the default and cheaper 18490 1100 mah battery at $8.87 each, since you'll be using factory-made, normal resistance coils in the Aspire Nautilus.

Hey Bad, good to "see familiar faces". I still have my gear, but I've not made a purchase since my REO Grande (9 months ago?) so felt I owe it to myself to splurge with the $$$ I've been saving. It's pretty impressive how long you can go off grid with a couple hundred ft of wire, 30 ft of wick, And bulk DIY supplies. You know me, I'll probably end up rebuilding a Nautilus just to do it, but I don't want to have to rebuild. I'm carrying 14 units again this semester and have other things to do with my time.

BTW I got my 1st two AWs (18650s) from Provape just to avoid the hassle.

Edit: BTW, I LOL'd at post #4 above. Not many would understand why but you would.

I'd get the beyond vape silo with bvc heads. It's almost exactly like the aspire but the airflow control openings are bigger. I'm a lung inhaler too, and I've tried both.

Hah, that'd be the red pill. Now you'll see just how far down the rabbit hole goes.

Shipping notice received.....

Let the games begin.

Waiting for my phone to report, "You've got mail".

Funny that you brought up Genesis-style toppers. A year ago eHuman was the top dog in Genesis-style attys. He taught me everything I know about them. Which isn't alot, but that's not his fault. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/ehuman/

I understood. AGA-T2.

Three days from order to my hand!

Nice, good to see you back

How do you like the ProVari?

Not that you were ever a nay-sayer... But you've been around the block a few times... Curious about your opinion now that you've tried so many different mods, what your take is on our little pride and joy

 

[kas122461]

I would like to know what he thinks of the Nautilus, I don't have one, I use original KFL's and Sophia's. It would be nice to be able to just change a coil head, rather then rebuilding. I know a lot of people like them, but some input from someone, with this much experience would be nice.
