Don't get me wrong I still, love my Provari's. I just want to still have them in working condition for a long time. I looked at the Number 6 after you mentioned it a while back, and it has the BF60 board, which is their older board. They still have them at CDV, I kind of think they are phasing out the BF60, I have not seen a number 6 with the BF80 in it. :|

I am right now vaping a gold 2.5 that I bought on closeout sale with an Igo-L dripper attie on it. I have used this mod almost every evening since I got it. Still works like new, except, shortly after getting it, the decimal point between the numbers went wonky...sometimes it lights up, sometimes, no decimal point. Never affected functionality so I just accept it as a "personality quirk" of the mod. So that means I got about 2-1/2 years on it.

The one I had set up previously as my dripper mod, lasted about two years before developing a sometimes it fires, sometimes it didn't thing. Repair Guy Bill replaced the switch and he also replaced some component on the board.

I doubt I'll outlive my ProVari supply, so some day I'm going to pop the boards out of a couple of them and make box mods with them with an 18650 sled. I might even try to do this with a 2015 Woodville body that is currently dead in the water.

I have one idea of chopping the tube off just below the board and melding the tube with a wooden box shaped much like the Radius, and hard wiring the positive battery contact from the sled to the center post of the board, and the tube body by drilling and tapping a hole in the side and affixing a small copper tab to solder the negative terminal to...but time has a way of slipping by...

That sounds pretty involved E. Maybe even a bit challenging. Heck, I can't even open a dang midnight snack cup. This happens way more often than it should. Shoot

Looks, age (half of mine is a plus), receptive to my stupid dad jokes, understands the value of a pizza and adult video date, and last but not least time... any where from 90 seconds to a long weekend!!!

It's similar to Russian roulette - going into a public toilet and trying to find a "suitable" place to sit.
Reminds me of my undergrad days in Chicago. I'd take the train into Union Station. The bathrooms there were horrible. One long line of at least 50 sit-down toilet stalls. None had doors on them. So as you made your way down the line looking for an open stall you had to look at total strangers at various stages of grunting and face-twisting. I won't get into the smells, here. Let's just say it was one of the more undignified experiences anyone could go thru.

Memo to file: Avoid Union Station, Chicago, IL or do one's evacuation prior to boarding.

That was some 40 years ago. I'd like to think we've progressed with public bathroom management since then but, alas, we have not. Not when anyone can walk in depending on how they identify that particular moment. :?:

I didn't even think of that minor wrinkle, I think that I will self-identify as an old guy and fool everyone.
