So I have a question for you. Look at the two pics. The silver mini has no space between the tank and the top of the mini. The pink one does (same thing on my red one BTW). Same tank and coil on both and all mods are minis. No space on any of the other minis or the dragon either. Not a big deal but I wonder why.

There are slight variances in the depth of the positive pin seating on the ProVaries, and as Anna said, the 510 connectors on atties will have variances. Couple the two and you get a whole range of how the they fit together...

Have any of you guys heard of Retinal Vein Occlusion? I guess it has happened in my right eye, I went to Eye Glass World to get a new prescription yesterday. They could not give me one for the right eye. I am going to a real Eye Doctor on Monday, that can hopefully give me some better answers. I basically have blurred vision in that eye. :?:

Having had what amounted to three seperate eye problems diagnosed at the same time, I can sympathise with your worry. My optician wouldn't tell me what she saw simply said "get to the Rotterdam eye hospital as quickly as possible". If your optician at Eye Glass World gave you a diagnosis, remember the lower level of expertise compared to that of an ophthalmologist. I wish you luck and strength on Monday.
To anyone else reading this - never put off looking after your eyes, it is so easy to to ignore tiny degenerations over a longer period until it is too late.

I will admit, I don't take care of my eyes as well as I should, but I do pay attention if "bad" things start happening, and as I age, I notice my eyes grow ever less resilient.

I wish there were a treatment (that worked) for night blindness, though, I have always been pretty blind in the dark, and it's only getting worse. I have heard rumors of "corrective lenses" and I guess I could look into it, because it really is getting a bit worrisome when I drive at night. I really would like to leave my "brights" on all the time, but that's not practical. IDK though, I don't see how "corrective lenses" could really help the problem which is to my understanding, buried deep in my rods and cones....

I'm glad you are seeing an optometrist, that's all I EVER do, to me it's worth it, honestly, but they did tell me at one point in my youth that I "might" go blind if my myopia worsened at the rate it did, but that seems to have chilled out. I just should take my contact lenses out more, even though they are the "leave in" kind. I hope you get good news!

wore glasses my whole life and finally needed bifocals recently ... bought them online :blink:

turned out to be an absolutely amazing experience ... when I researched this company, it was just like ProVape, couldn't find any bad reviews.

I will always buy from here Shop Prescription Glasses Online | EyeBuyDirect

The guy told me right away that I need to go to a specialist. For just getting a new prescription and glasses I have just used Lens Crafters, and this time Eye Glass World. For something like this I prefer to see someone a bit more qualified. I mulled over it for a bit when I got home, looked it up online, then made a new appointment. Hopefully this guy will give me some better/good news. :unsure:

That is a great site, I have never ordered my glasses online before, if and when I get this figured out, I might just order from them. I have worn Bifocals for about 2 years, really made a big difference. :|

I have just started needing bifocals, man. LOL. I STILL don't understand why EVERYTHING on a package of "mostly ready to use" food has everything in HUGE LETTERS except for the actual cooking directions, which are often also difficult to locate (like on the lower left side of the bottom of the package).

I can't decide if it's just advertising or they don't actually want you to cook it. I could get one of them (one lens for up close, one lens for far away) things in my contacts but it doesn't seem wise (to me) and my husband has a secret librarian fetish I think (I started wearing glasses at age 4, and they were HEAVY given that I have astigmatism in one eye. LOL, I BEGGED for contacts at the earliest age possible. But, I'll stick with the magnification glasses, given I don't need them that much (yet).

I'm also slightly deaf.... In certain hearing ranges.... I kind of attribute that to my opiate habit... I wish I were like Rush Limbaugh (in the sense of RICH and deaf, from opiate use, not just his general personality, but the rich part, sure) and able to afford cochlear implants.

But yeah, I'm going to turn into Helen Keller any day now.... :(

I discovered the exact same thing by accident recently. Was holding my Provi in my hand in front of the tv. Saw a slight gap that I never noticed before. With a Kabuki clone tank. Immediate paranoia. Thought it might be the tanks, but switched everything around and it was in fact the Provi. Good to know it’s normal.

I also found one original Provape beauty ring that works on 5 Provaris, but on one the tank will not fire due to not contacting the 510.

Guess the tolerances could be a little less than perfect, depending on the unit.
