Yep time to go my mystery combination texts were indeed from head boss.

He is going to think I'm an idiot but for the love of God identify yourself.

Do all of you have the head of your (rather large) company's cellphone memorized? Especially when it's a mystery double text (my first one, actually.)

Oh well, I'm just gonna say I got my first cellphone in the mid 2000s. It's true.

Had NO intentions of buying a mod today. There are two brick & mortar vape shops here in town. I needed wick and wire and KNEW the shop I've been to in the past didn't carry much of anything for rebuilds, so I stopped by the other vape shop to see if they had what I needed. Had only been in there once before, about three years ago.

Walked in vaping my red/black ProVari Classic with kayfun Lite 2019 atomizer. The shop owner noticed the ProVari and marveled at it so we got to talking ProVari. He walked to another counter, reached down and came up with a Gold Mini in 18500 mode. Said he kept it around for decoration. It's BRAND NEW ... no scratches and I can see there has never been an atomizer on it or battery installed. Asked if he'd like to sell it? ... $80. No box, no beauty ring, no standard battery cap. What you see is what I got. The dark areas are only my reflection from taking the picture. It's shiny bright and new all over.

Here is where it got interesting. VERY interesting ...

Guy said that back in the day, ProVape sent him a prototype with a USB connection. Box or tube mod I asked? ... tube mod with a USB connection, he said. Guy said he'd just give it to me. FIND IT !!! ... I said. He searched around all the counters, the back office and storage area. Couldn't find it. I said I bet that thing grew legs. He said a girl he has that works there LIKES to clean and she may have done something with it. Said he'd keep looking around and maybe he'd have it next time I came in. SHOOT !!!

Anyone even heard of a ProVari tube prototype with USB connection ?!?!?! Hope he finds the dang thing !!! Prolly just a "unicorn" though.

Anyway ... came away with something I don't need and will probably seldom use. But yeah.

I have both the mini and the full size of the Gold Zenkote's, that was a must buy for me back when they came out. The only one I can think of that had any kind of connector, was the P3 that you had to have a special devise to connect it, but I don't think it was a USB. :unsure:

A few days ago, when I was watching a few clips from one of the conspiracy nuts, the guy had a clip about water. I don't really want to post the clip, because he goes on and on for like a hour or more. What I did get out of it though, I am really considering getting one of these, not right away but I would really like to have real pure drinking water. :|

MH943SBS Megahome Water Distiller, Glass Collection - Megahome Water Distillers - Water Distillers

It is expensive, but it puts all the Brita and Pure water filters to shame.

That pass-thru looks like it just plugs into an auto's 12vdc outlet and eliminates an 18350. The guy at the vape shop said a (micro) USB tube type prototype. So I dunno but don't think he meant the pass-thru. May never know. Shoot

Probably was the Programmer. P3 was the first to be programable (updated) via PC and USB port. ProVape only sent it to dealers until the end.

I just remembered I have a brand new updater still in the box on one of my closet shelves. When Pro Vape finally made what we were all worried about official, things changed. It wasn't only the price slashes, but the thought of The End brought out the hoarder in me. I did see someone mention a while ago that the thing worked by accessing a particular server that stored the software, and that the server was now long gone. So I have this amazingly well built brick with NASA-level hardware and cables just hanging out here.

The funny thing is that only a few weeks before my order I'd made a couple hundred mile (round trip) visit to my nearest Provari dealer and both my P3s got updated to the latest versions. But there wasn't going to be any Provari any more! Made no sense to buy it, but the urge was strong.
