@alltheheavysmokerswhofrequentthisthread.
I smoked for 54 years, developed COPD then changed to vaping. My lowest spirometry result was 47%, today I hit a new record high....61.9%. vaping most certainly helped my lung function despite that which some of the "experts" say.

Whoopee!:banana:

WOooHOoo !!! Received my backup Black 2.5 Mini today :)
Listed as "NEW" ... "Tested"
After I removed the dried up juice from on and around the center pin, cleaned all the black gunk from the threads and swapped out a blemished extension cap (3 or 4 very small tiny flaked spots in the finish) with a pristine extension cap I already had on my Black 2.5 currently in service ... it looks pretty dang new LOL. Couple more q-tips were used but you get the idea.
I'm very happy to have a backup and did leave glowing feedback on the bay. This one is now packed back up and stored for future use.

EDIT: Just thought about it. The small tiny flake spots in the finish of the extension cap COULD have occurred in shipping. The Stainless 2.5 end cap was loose in the box. The finish on the mod itself is flawless !!! Anyway, I lightly touched the spots up on the extension cap with a sharpie and put that extension cap on the Mini I'm using right now. Not even noticeable AT ALL, so no biggie. And to give the seller the benefit of the doubt, the "stuff" I removed MIGHT maybe partially mostly be grease oil and such left on at the factory. Anyway, it wasn't from ProVape so who knows how much testing went on. Looks and performs good as new now regardless. I'm a happy camper :) ... Even came with a Black ProVari Beauty Ring AND an extra stainless aftermarket ring. BONUS !!!

On another note, I forgot what if anything, the "C" might mean on the ProVape box sticker? Ideas? Anything to do with the display color maybe? ... this one is red.

C = Counterfeit

Of course I’m kidding. How about a photo?

Hundred years from now, when my currently in use black mini fails, I'll open this new one and start all over again LOL

OH ... and one thing y'all didn't tell me and I just discovered the other day ... that beauty ring is EXCELLENT as a tank stand when tank and ring are removed for cleaning, battery replacement and refill. Before, I was dragging out a 510 tank stand and didn't even need to. DOH !!!

I went to the Playboy club in NYC decades ago. I'd waited a lifetime to get there. I was so excited. Then I found out my server was a Rabbit. One drink and an expensive cheap lighter, which got lost in a cab later, and I was outta there, never to return.

I worked at the NYC PBC.

My job was lighter thievery. I was fired for being honest.

None of this is true. Fantasies, rock, eh? ;)



I'm almost afraid to ask what a Rabbit is (obviously always walked straight past the place), but I have my suspicions.

I have been directly asked to swing by a former roommate at some drinking event by a former college roommate, IDK why she came I hated her.

LOL since I was drunk I choked on my beer and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'd harm my future spouse with your nose" (she looked like Steffi Graff, the tennis player) and you could not PAY me enough to sleep with your spouse, so no."

I think adultery is better than swinging. Adultery can stay a secret if you do it right (I imagine) but like with swinging you have to confront the request directly and answer to it.

Plus the drinking event was my bachelorette party !!!

Very poor form if you ask me.

Okay after a bit more searching, I posted a different one, this one is closer to that one. :|

Nope that is not it either, just deleted it, If I find the right one, I will post in another post. :(
