The only thing I like is the logo is engraved. But that's just me (or not?). I'm sure there will be bunch of ppl that will like the new design a lot. It looks like the Nazca lines.

I agree that it looks a lot better in "person" than the pics gave it credit, but I still like the looks of the mini best.
Not that I really need it, but I hope this summer to come up with enough money to purchase another mini for a backup, then I can get rid of everything else!

I ordered a 2.5 on the 15th. I'm upgrading from an ego twist. I was thinking about the Vamo or Anyvape, but with the Chinese QC issues, especially recently with Kanger/Boge, I decided to spend a little more now for something that will hopefully last awhile.
Ordered it around lunchtime on the 15th, order is still "processing".

I ordered last night, Satin with the red LED. Hopefully it ships soon I can't wait, this is my first Provari...

Ordered mine on the 15th, just got an email confirmation that it's shipped on the 17th. Satin black blue LED. Cant wait to get it.
Correction: I ordered at 12:04am on the 17th. I just got the shipping notice, so technically it was ordered and shipped same day. Not bad.

lol, just saw one of the new minis someone got and even the engraving, w/ the big huge letering (looks like a 5 year old kid wrote/carved it) and the teardrops next to thw word mini, just really tasteless imo
looks like i got my last mini just in time, theyre not offering the option of getting the old style instead like they said they would
i mean look...
this

I kinda like the change..they have the older 2.0 style listed at the bottom part of the blem Clearance page..
What would be a cool option imo is to be able to choose from like a dozen different designs (for the area where all the tear drops are grouped). Nothing crazy..just different simple designs..
More options are always good..maybe not cost effective tho...

Its all about their machining machine.
I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure making new designs means creating it & then setting the perimeters or uploading the design to the machine before they can go about setting the design into the metal. Which can take time & work... Any machinists want to chime in? I took exploratory machine shop in my 1st year of highschool but I got suspended for turning this kid's machine on and throwing the chuck across the room. Almost killed him. lol. SO I'm not an expert but I do know creating new designs takes a bit of work.

With some good CAM software it shouldn't take more than about 10min depending on the design. I'm also assuming they are using a 7axis lathe with live tooling to make them, this would keep setup times and operational times minimal making the changes easier.
If they are taking the turned piece then putting it on a 4axis mill to do the design, it gets a bit more complicated getting everything lined up and timed.
The parameters wouldn't be changed, just the basic program would need the additional designs incorporated.
I still like the looks of the old mini better, but seeing the new designs more, they are growing on me.

I still don't understand why they don't just put the threads up closer to the electronics and then sell machined extensions. They could do away with the mini entirely and sell extensions for all available battery sizes with various designs on the extensions. Then again, if they did this people wouldn't have to buy a normal and a mini to have all the size options available.
You hit the nail right on the head..... 2 sizes = more sales.... I dont think they will ever make a genuine Provape extention for the mini...
Its nice to have 2 Provaris anyway, just incase you need a backup

I'm no machinist but i'm not entirely sure, aside from the threads, that the Provari is machined. It looks more like a casting or a MIM (metal injection molding) than it does if it were machined from barstock steel. I could be wrong. The castings would go through a little machining to add the battery cap threads and to shore up tolerances for the press fit top cap.
I also am in agreement with Nitroturtle and Riverboat. One standardized head and then a battery compartment sized for whatever battery size you prefer or a telescopic type for those who switch a lot. I'm not a fan of telescopic types in general but I can see where others might like them.

Well, there kinda already is that, just buy a mini and there are extenstions available from several sifferent vendors which i ofc cannot mention here, that sell them for every available battery size, so buy a mini and you got a choice of 18350,18500, and 18650, same w/ the standard but you dont get the 350 option unless you cut& rethread the tube as some ppl have.

I know of the items to which you are referring but I would prefer to see the option made by the OEM as opposed to an aftermarket modification. That way, finishes and markings would match perfectly.
