Gotta say that most of my friends and family badmouth the Post. I never read it (except for as a kid growing up in NYC), and only starting looking at it last year, when it became obvious just how biased the NYTimes and PBR were, and was looking to well round my news.
It is a bit of a tabloid, but does often contain news or opinion pieces which cut through what passes as news in other places. That was a good piece.

have you got any reflections on the Procyon,things to highlight?
it seems kind of illogical for me to spend around 230$,especially now that provape is gone and so is their support.(especially for me that don't live in the US)

to me it looks like a stronger p3 with a better battery connection.
i like the extra wattage possibility even though i mainly vape at 12W.
i also heard it was made after the Radius,so a more modern device.

but buying this one will mean i shouldn't buy anything for at least a year and I'm kind of looking forward to some upcoming mods.(i especially want to see what ZEN is coming with)

it's funny that until less than a year i was still vaping on the ego 1000mah twist with the tiny coils and 1ml plastic cartridges,(and that, for a period of almost 5 years) and didn't mind at all, and wasn't interested in upgrading, and tried to avoid all this craze and just find a cheaper and possibly healthier smoking alternative,

and look at me now; 5 mods, 9 tanks, spare parts off course(that I'll surely not use),spares for the spares...
and watching one hour vape reviews on YT..

and the most ridiculous thing is that i vape at 12w, and with the same e-liquid, since i can't manage to find something else that i like.
i could have definitely stopped at the evic vtc mini +nautilus and maybe a kayfun for rebuildables. that's it.

i guess i got my answer.

me,an hour later; ..maybe i should still get the procyon while it is still available..

my earlier 4-5 years "setup": (honestly,the vape experience is much better now,but a simple setup would have suffice)

While it may be nice to own a limited mod...

If it breaks it's done.

Look to DiCoDes for a fine (currently made) mod.

If it's a tube you seek, Jim's suggestion will be tough to top for a quality mod.

If box (or bube), many options still exist.

@RadiusNick i have to throw in my two cents. I am a total Provari fan girl (ok old gal). Except for some interesting mods, for fun, I have all PROVARIS, crushed that they are no longer, but there are folks that can and will repair them. I trust that my Provis will still be kicking in several years. Here is the big but, I have scheduled a Dicodes purchase for my 2nd year anniversary! The Dicodes are built impeccably, would rival the PROVARIS, I'm still waiting to hear of someone that is still vaping a Dani in 5 or 6 years. That is where I plan to spend my money.

I'm waiting to see their next tube/mod when available(i saw it a bit on one of pbusardo's videos),
but not interested in paying extra for great TC capabilities.
maybe it's worth it just for the build quality.

idk, i haven't got a sweet spot in me for pipeline or dicodes as i have for provape.

i don't connect to pipeline/dicode, i guess for the same reason that some persons prefer a certain brand over another.
i don't see myself spending that much on a pipeline/dicode mod.
but thanks for the insight.

I have always said that, if Europe-based, I'd be using Dicodes rather than ProVari, mainly because of the ease of return and repair.

Moot point now.

Dicodes is the only game in town for this type of mod now.
