Looking through all my stash, opened this one and almost started crying.
I might have to fill one.

still have this eVic and my first used ProVari... also still have the IBTanked halfling tanks and a full box of 50 cartos :blink:

I vaped the IBTanks for about 2 months and then bought a used Kayfun Lite V2+ for the used ProVari... the eVic got shelved and the ProVari hoarding began :party:

Below is the actual ECF seller pic for that used ProVari taken in January 2014... I got everything in the picture for $175... a brand new ProVari was $200+

The tank on the left is a SMOK RSST tank, the stealth IBTanked halfling on the ProVari is the same as the top picture (after I stripped the paint off it).

Even back then, the black Loki Labs beauty ring was extremely rare and sold for $30 itself, if you could even find one.

I still have a Rumblefish carto tank painted by OCD's daughter "offspring". I may never use it again but it's sticking around!
I think the one in the very bottom left is one of the hand painted ones, it's been soooooo long ago, haven't thought about those in years.

I had several sizes, by the time I talked myself into a halfling, I think the cartos were really hard to get...I wasn't ever quick enough.
Looks awesome though!!!


Do you all rotate through all your ProVari mods?? I guess I should really start doing that. :facepalm:

Besides my favourite scratched Ti mini 2.5 with the chipped fire button... I also love a well worn black mini 2.0 or 2.5

I forgot all about those domed top caps.

They seem to still be available at Fastech

I use 6 ProVi daily... however, I still have a few brand new that have never been used.

I do, Lori, but I don't know how much value there is. I rotate all my mods, because I feel like I'm using a new toy whenever I do.

Childish, I.

Same here, I think :unsure: I checked for DOA when I got them, sometimes USPS can be less than gentle.

Mine all basically look the same. :laugh: Stainless. :lol:
Well, my Reos are different colors. I wish someone would grab the 2 in the basement. :rolleyes:

Nice BIKE too! :w00t:
I've done a few upgrades to it, it was built in 1995, steel frame,
2X7 drivetrain. I have ridden it over 1,400 miles since i got it, it is my favorite ride even though it's kind of a beater.

That looks familiar. :)
I love the earthen dams from that period, I used to ride my motorcycles to flood control dams all over the place back when I lived in NH, they were nice destination rides, and some of them I could take a swim on hot days :) I remember one time I had a girl on the bike with me, and said to her, I'm going to take a dip in the water, want to join. She wasn't interested so I got into the water...and swam to the other side of the lake :lol: Took about 45 minutes each way...she was not amused...
