I hope you are more impressed than I was was when using an IKV with my PROVARI. I am apparently in the minority when it comes to not being blown away. I liked the Platinum, but I prefer flanged cartos and I didn't care for the Fusion as much as my trusty little Smoktechs. Overall, I didn't like them enough to get stressed about when they would have stock or having to buy more than I wanted when they did have stock.
I don't care for the Smoktech cartos, and Boges have just been inconsistent for me, some great, some not so much. Can't really put my finger on what I don't like about the smok's, just something about the vape doesn't do it for me. If the Ikenvapes aren't more reliable than the Boges I'll probably invest in a couple more RBA's and some dripping atomizers and call it done.
After approx 10 trips to my mailbox today, my batts have arrived. Now it's like watching paint dry for them to charge! In the mean time, I'm loading my ProTank 2, IClear30, Aurora and SmokTech Tumbler hoping and praying one of these tanks will be worthy of my ProVari and provide me w/pure, vaping bliss.
I'm sure you'll be happy, I just got mine on Saturday and haven't put it down since! The vapemailman just dropped my Jwrap off at the Vobbit Hole, too, I'll put up a pic as soon as I get it on!
I've got vape mail coming too! My new satin mini **ProVari** is due in sometime this week and some DIY flavorings I bought in the classifieds shipped out today! I haven't been able to do any mixing for the last few weeks, been super busy training for my new job. *Rubs hands together* ...can't wait to try out these new flavors in my dripping atomizer on my polished mini **ProVari**!
Very nice! I went through a years long red faze. My dining room walls are a deep brick red with white trim. Do the j-wraps leave any kind of residue when you remove them? I want some wraps but haven't tried them yet and was wondering about that.
That drip tip has me craving candy canes!
There might be a little residue, but it should come off with just the oil of your hand. I haven't used a commercial wrap, but what I use has a much stronger adhesive and I haven't had any problems.
Looks at watch. Taps paw. Looks at watch. Batteries usually come partially charged. Taps paw. Come on Nitecore.
Ok, quick question re: Nitcore i2 Charger..batts in, all three yellow lights are now lit and holding, meaning not blinking. Is it safe to assume this batt is charged..
These instructions kinda suck as far as what the lights indicate for fully charge. The box said something about yellow and blue but I have yet seen a blue light.

It's charged!!!!!!!!!!
ETA: The directions may be for more than one model. I have the same one and have never seen a blue light.
Back shortly?????? You can't vape and type at the same time???????? Oh wait, forgive me. I got excited. You do need to focus on the pureness that is ProVari. There aren't many virginities left to lose these days.
OK, my first ProVari experience..I need to practice. All the button pushing takes a little getting use to. I used flavors I am super familiar with so I can see if I can tell the diff in flavor/vapor from what I'm using now.
First Vape was on the ProTank 2 w/AVEs Gorilla Juice. I got great vapor but no flavor. Obviously doin something wrong there. I mean, if I didn't fill it myself, I would have no clue as to what I just vaped beyond air. I do kno it is a way cooler vape than I'm use to.
Second test was on the IClear30 w/Halo Voodoo-cinnamon really pops more on this but the vapor was not as much. Kinda weird. A little bit of a metal taste too but I'm not use to metal tips.
The Provari itself..the draw is nice and tight (can't explain it), just feels real smooth to draw, no effort at all. And the heaviness of it doesn't really seem obvious like I thought it would. It's comfortable to hold. I believe for me, it will take finding the right tank for sure. The ones I have now for just a simple clearo provides quite a bit of flavor, nice warm vape and low maintenance.
These tanks I have now are new for me so it will be just a matter of playing. Plus I was a little gun shy upping the volts cuz I didn't want a burn out. I went up 3.5 but probably need higher.

Relax. Breathe. 3.5v is too low for anything. Check the resistance of what you put on it.
5 clicks tp Pu
then 2 clicks Pd
then 2 clicks Po
then 2 clicks Cb
then 2 clicks, when Ao comes up take your finger off of the button and it will give you a number. That is the resistance.
Add 2 to the number and set the volts at that. (You will be at ≈ 8watts)
Again, 5 clicks to Pu, then hold the button down until it gets to the volts you want. Then take your finger off of the button. When the screen goes dark the level is set.
If the Ao reading said "2" set the volts at "4," if it reads "2.5" set it at "4.5" and so on. ***This is just a setting to start with. You can then adjust up or down to taste.***

Don't be afraid to play around with the voltage, clearos are usually on the high side, resistance-wise. I usually add two to the resistance and start adjusting up and down from there.
edit: lol Yeah, I'm a little slow, what she said ^

No doubt! I learned much from you when I started vaping, yours and Baditude's advice had a huge impact on me as I was learning the ropes!
