I'm a vampire. Besides, even though I'm young enough to be your childI hate to break it to you, Gin, but it's morning.
, I'm retired (not by choice, mind you.)Thank you. I did pretty good.
You are about to find that it's possible to have two favorite brands. I have 3 Dani boxes (one in stab) and they are vaped daily, just like some of my Provaris. I don't think any company will ever be able to totally replace ProVape for quality, customer service, or bulletproof construction but Dicodes comes closer than any other source I can think of.
Your collection is probably the most impressive I've ever seen and rivals Mike Morgan's though I doubt he has that unicorn squonker. While it's a shame to consider selling some, I can guarantee that if you choose wisely you will still consider the Dicodes purchase as a plus.
Thanks Geeky - Still feeling a bit sick about the price but hopefully it will be loved, recently a friend said the Burl stabwood is a softer wood and that is what I have chosen - is yours wearing well?
Ps, I think Mike has over a hundred Provari's my little collection would pale in comparison
I wish I hadn't seen that - I need/want one too now!

Mine is just fine and has no signs of wear on the wood, though it has shrunk very slightly. When it was new, the wood and the stainless pieces were perfectly flush. Now, over a year (maybe two? It is one of the earliest made, #104) later, I can just feel a slight edge if I run my finger across the wood/steel joint.

Hypothetical question - what price would a Skynet Squonker add on for Provari fetch in perfect condition?
Not fishing for Sales as I would list it if decide to sell - really stuck trying to work out if it would be worth it.

Probably a lot. Best recommendation would be to take a wander through EBay. Not only will you see some familiar faces (names), but looking through the current and past (sold) Provis can be a truly enlightening experience.
It's fetch you some dollars though, both AUD and/or USD.
Thanks Luv, I did do the google and ebay search and couldn't find any links or prices - its a tricky thing and only considering it to fund the Diocodes - I tossed a coin between it & a 60 watt radius but the Skynet lost the bet in the flip of the coin.Probably a lot.

I find simply typing "provari" in the main EBay search screen yields the best results. That gives you the current stuff, then you click on the "Show Only / Sold Listings" down the left hand side of the page. That shows the historical stuff.
No argument from me on the Dicodes. One day, we probably will do the same. It's always about timing (and mood).
The American Cancer Society has changed its position!
"Some smokers, despite firm clinician advice, will not attempt to quit smoking cigarettes and will not use FDA approved cessation medications. These individuals should be encouraged to switch to the least harmful form of tobacco product possible; switching to the exclusive use of e-cigarettes is preferable to continuing to smoke combustible products."

Searching for a dropped jaw "WOW" emoji. This is stunning news.
I won't really complain about it much, but it's interesting that they feel smokers won't use the FDA methods but don't mention what a woeful success rate they have. It's not that I wouldn't use them - they simply didn't work in my case.
it's a step...I read the article...a baby step, I still had a few eye roll moments reading.
Yes, it was nice to finally see some hint of a change in direction but as you note there are still some clinkers. Like "The ACS encourages the FDA to regulate all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to the full extent of its authority" That the prevailing thought is that vaping=tobacco or vaping=nicotine means there's still a huge hill to climb.
I think I'm feeling positive about the release because it also stresses the importance of research. Assuming it's not done like the biased junk science hack jobs we've previously seen, I would really like to see this. If it's done correctly, whether it's good news or bad, all vapers need to have more reliable facts about the things we're currently assuming are not a problem.
