Kanger has already has too much of my money just collecting dust on the shelf. Their tanks are nice but the coils are junk, either they flood, or they burn or they just mute the taste all together. I'm not near bored enough to start making my own coils for kanger tanks or RBAs yet. I followed baditude's lead on the ibtanked tanks and ikenvape cartos and I am very happy I did. I do have an Aspire BDC Glassomizer in the mail and will be comparing it to the cartotank system, but kanger won't be getting my moola again any time soon

is a pro ring (beauty ring) a must have for the 22mm? i realized they hold twice as much, so am looking at getting those instead
It comes down to appearance. Any of the sizes work without rings, but the 22mm is roughly the same diameter as the ProVari body, so it hangs over the tapered top.
ETA: This tank is about 25mm, but will give you an idea of the overhang:
ETAA: There is a flangeless IKV carto in the tank.

I haven't bought a ring yet, so I don't think it's a 'must have'... but it does make any 22/23 mm tank flush with the Provari units, which looks pretty neat, but for me, I like the distinctive look of the Provari teardrops

Be my guest, and thank you for the compliment
. But... they're just cell phone snapshots of what I had on the table at the time (cept for the outdoors one).I was at my local B&M and the owner has a provari. I tested my 22mm with an unflanged ikenvape platinum carto in it on the provari. I screwed the carto into the 510 connector and slid the tank all the way down, what stopped the tank was the head of the provari when it make a flush and snug connection. I tried to take a puff, but got no airflow. I slid the tank up a bit to create a gap and flow was established. My ocd just wouldn't let me be happy with such a thing. I don't like to see gaps between the tank and the body. That's part of the reason why I don't like flanged cartos, with flanged cartos you will have a slight gap even though you have a snug fit. It's just my ocd about that see-through gap, it looks tacky and if I'm gonna drop well over $200 for a PV, I want the setup not only to work really well, I want to be pleasing to me aesthetically

oh now you're just rubbing it in. That is a beautiful collection though. my compliments, your taste is impeccable
sorry for the confusion but i dont know which ikenvape to get. they say they are 45mm, 50mm total. is that right for the XL ibtanks
You should just buy a Provari so Princess Ocelot can give you a 'welcome to the Provarinati' party. Resistance is futile.
. Resistance is futile.
Okay, now I gotcha.
It's the gap. That is what bothers most people who care about those things - hence the beauty rings, which IBTanked is supposed to come out with soon as well.
Damn Sig... for a person who jumped from iTaste & Halo to SID and used the SID and carto tanks for 2 weeks or less, you sure are a wealth of knowledge. You've come a long way. You make me want to go out and get a SID. Oh wait... I already own one! And a Vamo V3. And a V5. And an iTaste. And 15 Tritons. And 4 ProVaris. And 13 mech mods (and no, contrary to your DNA30 mech killer argument, mechs will never go away). And 4 brands of cigalikes. And 3 squonkers. And a partridge in a pear tree. Crap... I forgot what my point was. Anyway... it's good to see you absorbing vaping knowledge from experience like a sponge. I just hope you realize that everywhere you're posting on this website and its subforums, we're all the same people. And most of the people answering your questions elsewhere on this site who just happen to own and use whatever you have, also own ProVaris. And Tritons. And SIDs, etc. Most of us are happy for you. Happy that you're happy with your choices and are having good vapes. You'd get along a lot better if you'd pass your valuable knowledge on to those specifically looking for it and without trying to change members' minds and opinions. I don't hang out in the Lavatube subforum because I don't have anything valuable to share there. And if I was contemplating purchasing a Lavatube, started reading the subforum to gain current owners' knowledge, I surely wouldn't base my Lavatube purchasing decision on the mindset and tone of posts in a forum. The ProVari subforum is probably the worst place on this site to continue an argument. The ProVarinati are everywhere and have more time than you have to argue because most of them are older than your grandfather. 
With age comes wisdom. The ProVarinati are wise. Don't burn your bridges. 3 years from now, we'll still be here and when you've graduated and are semi-rich, you'll be too embarrassed to proudly announce your coveted, $2,500 24-karat ProVari v4. Just playing with ya. I'm bored, but enjoying my new vape toys too much. Good luck in Day 9 of the 12 Days of Giveaways contest.

I was trying to troll some trollers 
oh well, it was worth it just to see glassgal's collection. I now know what I will be saving up for for my birthday.
I am very happy with my Sid, it's a great 1st mod and step up from simple eGo batteries. Next I'll etiher be getting whatever provape comes out with for the 3.0 or a DNA20/30 mod if someone comes out with one in the same price range or better as the provari's with equal or better quality. I'm a sucker for excellent grantees and customer service so I imagine it's most likely gonna be the provari 3.0

This thread has to be one of the most entertaining ones I have read in my short time here on ECF. I originally thought of the word troll at first, but then it got better, and then it escalated so quickly... but I was invested in reading 20 some pages, so I saw it through to the end.
But, I digress. This thread educated me on the Provari more than I could ever have hoped, and reassured me that my purchase of a zombie green Provari was the right choice.
So, in a round about way, thanks to all who contributed! Now I must find some of that sexy gear glassgal showed off!

Hey everybody, OP here...
I just saw that this thread has grown by several pages since my last post, a lot of pretty negative. I wanted to steer the discussion back to what I believe to be the original source of conflict: Variable Wattage. Before I go any further, let me be clear that when I created this thread one of the things that I was attempting to ask was if anybody knew of a VW Provari model being released or rumored to be released in the near future (something I would want to know about considering my plans to purchase one next month and my appreciation for VW as a feature). That being said, as soon as I mentioned VW and Provari in the same sentence, things got ugly... fast. I actually found myself defending VW as a feature (something I did not foresee at all and in all honesty wasn't fully prepared to do- I was taken completely off-guard by the negative feelings people had towards VW as a feature and the apparent negative feelings some people had about me for mentioning it). That being said, over the course of this discussion I feel that I've proven my point in regards to the value of VW. I now just want to reiterate why VW is such a valuable feature even if you eliminate the entire idea of "set-it-and-forget-it" (one of my original defenses). The following example is something that I posted several pages back and fear may be lost in the shuffle for many people joining late. I now present to you my closing argument in favor of VW:
When comparing VW (in 0.1 watt increments) to VV (in 0.1 volt increments), the following statement is an inarguable fact. Variable wattage allows for much finer control over voltage output than a VV-only device. A greater "resolution", if you will, which can allow you to taste your juices at specific precise voltages that you wouldn't be able to achieve on a VV-only device. Please see the example below which proves this to be true.
1.5 ohm @ 8.1 watts = ~3.49 volts
1.5 ohm @ 8.2 watts = ~3.51 volts
1.5 ohm @ 8.3 watts = ~3.53 volts
1.5 ohm @ 8.4 watts = ~3.55 volts
1.5 ohm @ 8.5 watts = ~3.57 volts
1.5 ohm @ 8.6 watts = ~3.59 volts

Okay, now I gotcha.
oh yeah, I forgot about that. I need to go and check their website again. I am a stickler for aesthetics and would mind grabbing one of those I hope they get them out soon.

You can't.. I made it... that's why I'm 'glassgal'
. But I'm glad you like my stuff.And... I'm not allowed to imply that I'm selling it, because I'm not selling it. One of these days I'll become a vendor (when I've gotten my fill of Coops and Classifieds), then I'll be selling it
.
Joe... something struck me in the course of the last argument about this...
If VW is supposed to be 'set it and forget it'... why do you need to be able to adjust it in smaller increments than VV? Hmm?
Because there's no such thing as 'set it and forget it'? Maybe that's why Provari hasn't bothered?
looks like ikenvape is out of stock
so it looks like my choice is either boge or smok tech
