I'm not dead.

I'm not notifying y'all, I am informing myself. There is this point in the recovery of pneumonia, where you are like, "I was uncertain if I am a ghost that everyone feels sorry for so interacts with normally," and then you cross a beautiful drawbridge teeming with crocodiles you are like, "I am NOT dead, and I am also a PRINCESS!"

I am guessing a couple weeks after that is when you go get your pneumonia vaccine, and then you realize, "I am invincible."

I must say after being a non-smoker for so long, pneumonia is VILE. I did not care for it ONE bit.

I am gonna ask the doc (in life points) whether he would give me the shingles vaccine. I don't want shingles. But for some reason in the commercials it always said, "For age 50 and over" and showed a woman with lovely grey hair who was clearly NOT fifty, swimming vigorously.

Other than I imagine you don't feel like SWIMMING with shingles, the commercial did not make a lot of sense.

Good morning Proviaris. Made it though my first week of work, and I'm still alive, in fact coping okay in general.

I have many notes to do but like all from before FMLA. Sigh.

I really miss the husband but we have both decided he Shall Not Return until like, the house is complete. Maybe I'll go visit him at Christmas. LOL.

I keep giving him ALL my money. It appears the more money he receives, the more likely he is to hire someone and delegate. I'd be willing to go to mung beans and rice at this point.

Hell, it might get rid of the steroid belly, although I think my chances of finding mung beans in Douglas are nil. Spose I could order them online.

No. I'm not doing that. My life sucks enough. LOL.

Hi everyone,
I obtained my very first ProVari it's a 2.5 with a little extender for the battery. I'm a new builder who is completely sold on RTA and RDA forever now I don't think I could go back to standard sub ohm tanks if someone paid me. I know there's a ton of posts about recommendations for rta's but I'm not sure any of them had the exact criteria that I'm looking for. I am a mouth to lung Vapor for the most part but prefer rtas that when opened fully the airflow is restricted lung rather than a tight mouth to lung. I like to have a little bit of choice and I find the airflow options on for example the bottom fill doggystyle to be absolutely beautiful. I would like a recommendation or two of some rta's that will fit nicely on the ProVari 2.5 without a beauty ring it doesn't have to be perfect just nicely functional. I am absolutely cool with clones and probably lean towards fasttech to get the device. I like single coils and am perfectly fine with something that I can put just a simple Kanthal round wire in. I tend to vape acidic juice so I have a preference for either glass or even stainless steel tanks in fact I would love a stainless steel tank that comes with an extra glass that would be like a dream come true. The less overhang the better in fact I would love something that has no overhang. I see a lot of taller thin tanks on ProVaris in pictures and I like that look. I don't care if it's top fill or bottom fill. The hardest aspect to check off though is I'm on a super limited budget I see a lot of products that would probably fit the bill for $30 I don't even want to spend that it would be nice if I can get something for $20 or under. I don't really have a preference for build deck style because I'm still fairly new but I do prefer something that is at least accessible to single coil and works that way and if there's a video about how to build on it that would be even better. I'm also open to rdta is even though I don't have any so I don't know if I actually like them but maybe it's time that I get one. Thank you so much in advance!

I can send you a different link, closer to $20, but this is the one I'd recommend. It's better quality (I can't tell any difference between it and an authi), and comes with two sizes, so you can choose which & when.

This is the smaller version.

I'm driving myself crazy researching batteries for my 3 old 2.5 minis and a classic 2.5, now that the last of my AW18490s are quickly fading. Fortunately my Radius is working fine and I LOVE IT still - have no interest in using any other mod (looked at the Dani, not just expensive but way beyond what I need). For battery replacements, I've searched and searched, read tons of posts and blogs, wrote to users, wrote to Mooch - but still lost, dazed and confused. Hopefully I'm not intruding here, but where else can I go for specific ProVari info?
I do have the extension cap for my minis (also fits the 2.5 regular) and would like to switch to an 18650 for them. However, as y'all probably already know, button tops are not easy to come by. I'm also at a loss as to IMR, INR, NCR, etc. - I know what they mean (thx google) but is one better than another for the minis? Anyone have a clear and simple direction to point me in? Any help much appreciated

18650 3500mAh High Drain Button Top Battery Rechargeable 3.7V Orbtronic-Holder included i've used Orbtronic batteries in the past and they were exceptional... @DPLongo22 might have more recent/specific recommendation about them. Good luck.

@curious8, I'm not DPLongo, but I'll take the issue for him as we partner in all things vape. Enaud's suggestion is good. If you want slightly less cost and can do with slightly less mAh, we'd recommend these (and bought many):

3000mAh 18650 Battery 20A-35A Li-ion 3.7V Button Top Rechargeable High Drain H-IMR - Orbtronic




KAS, I would not recommend these for the older 2 series Provis because of the add on button and extra (unknown) length.

"Please note this is an original flat top LG HG2 18650 cell with an added button top by a third party manufacturer and and is longer than a standard flat top 18650 battery."

Ooopsie!

"What they said!"

Shoulda/coulda/didn't keep reading before I posted. :lol:
