ProVarinati Diner & Saloon and Beyond

[ToolmanTexas]

So, this is an advice question, and I'm looking for good logical advice.

With the FDA situation being reasonably uncertain, and with provari being definitely closed, I just found the sweetest spot ever in vaping, and that really is with the provari.. (I can't stress enough how much I like these!)

So, right now I have one provari 2.5 that was just purchased new. I also have one provari P3 that is used on the way. These are the only ones I have, and I can see myself using these provari's for the rest of my life (barring quitting vaping again), they are that nice for me.

I found a used provari Dragon (that is oh so pretty) for 100.00. (Comes with multiple RTA's a new nautilus mini among other little things as well). I am considering buying it, one because it's oh so pretty and two because it seems to be a good price, all things considered. BUT:

There are also two brand new provari 2.5 minis that I like for a total of 110.00, if I buy both, and they come with the 18500 extension tubes.

I am looking at trying to use these for as long as possible, be nice if they lasted til my death, but I'm 48 so it may or may not be a plausible desire. If YOU were me, would you purchase the two minis or would you purchase the dragon? I'm thinking the responsible thing is to buy the minis, and say bye to the dragon..

So I'm curious, what would you do?

What comes with the Dragon?

 

[gnees]

This is just me...

But I would buy all three.

That is my logical advice.

 

[oplholik]

Kinda what I was thinking gnees.

Personally I'm partial to minis…I have five…which, given my age, should last me all my days even though I use them 24/7.

Two things to consider. Minis are lighter and they are new so you know they will be in perfect working order. Battery-wise they use 18350s which depending on your vaping style will last 4-10 hours. I get 9-10 hours out of mine because I vape at 3.3V about 2mls/day.

Whatever you decide you cant go wrong.

What comes with the Dragon?

I don't exactly know, I just saw pictures, with no list. But in the pictures were several tanks being included. (In the bag are cartos) see attached picture..(the brand new nautilus mini with new coils was in another picture... )

You could buy all 3 and sell those cartos and carto tanks in the classies here.

I'm partial to minis also like @Bea-FL, so if you have to choose I would go that direction.

And it looks like that is not a "buy now" option but a auction/bid, so the price may go way beyond $100. Just FYI.

Okay, thanks..

Yeah I know, but I have been checking it daily, no one is bidding yet, and it ends at a 4 am time when people aren't awake usually, so there is a chance it won't go up. Usually if there is interest there is at least one bid by now.. but if it goes up too much I simply can't, but if it doesn't then I can.

You will never regret buying a provi but will probably regret missing out on one

Lol... I know right? Hahaha

 

[ToolmanTexas]

That carto lot looks decent. Still quite a few carto lovers here, so I would guess you could sell decently here on classies.

Unless you kept them for yourself

And, let's face it that Dragon is both pretty and cool and classy all at the same time. Perfect "going out" set up.

Dragon Dragon Dragon

If the Dragon comes with accessories that you will use, you get a special tube and tanks to go with it. The Mini's are more common, and even if you miss out on these, they are more likely to show up later.

Can you buy all three and the dragon can be an early christms present?

Here's the thing with cash... I'm a tightwad.. lol..

The problem I have with the Lou's is getting the crust to cook all the way. Nice and crispy on the bottom but the top remains gooey cuz I can't get it all the way cooked. Do you have this issue?

Sorry for my delayed response, @Bronze. An ornery thing named Stella got a bit over-bearing and ate up all my time (no pun intended).

I'd say that it's not a perfect cook, but I do tend to like them "crisp", so it's fine for my (not picky) tastes. I expect it would be better done on a stone, which I keep meaning to get. Do you use one of those things by any chance?

 

[DPLongo22]

GMZ Kabuki... Good

VVTF... Bad

IMO

Agreed.

Agreed.

Yes I use a stone but haven't tried the Lou's on it yet.
