Hello people. I have been vaping for 6 months now. Not one cigerette since I started vaping. (Pats self on the back) lol I have been using a vape pen called Blaze Life and buying 510 Vapage juice tanks mostly. Sometimes they work great and other times ya get a weak hit or deal with leakage. Like the tank I'm using today. Leaker but hits good. I'm at the point now were I know I am going to continue vaping and want to have some good equipment. I normally take 100 to 200 rips a day depending on how busy I am at work. Question is do you think this kit will fit the bill for me as a good daily vape set up? Ready to pull the trigger. Any thoughts? Below is what I am ready to order with the Aspire tank.

Details:
The ProVari Mini is a microprocessor controlled electronic cigarette that lets you adjust the voltage in seconds with just a few button presses. Now you can dial-in the perfect settings for your atomizer, cartomizer and e-liquid. The ProVari has a regulated output which keeps the voltage the same with each puff regardless of your remaining battery power. As the battery drains the device will keep the voltage consistent giving you the perfect vaper all day long.
The ProVari Mini can be adjusted from 2.9 - 6.0 volts in .1 volt increments.
(Designed to work with the AW IMR high drain batteries.)
(You must use batteries that have a positive nipple on the top. Flat top batteries will not work.)

With its built-in two digit display, you can dial in the perfect voltage and change modes right on the device without any additional hardware. You can visually adjust your voltage and access additional user functions on the device in seconds. It's quick and easy!

Extended Warranty - In the above options menu you will have the option to purchase an optional 1 year extended warranty for $24.95. This will extend your warranty for a period of two years total. All of the electronics are covered under this warranty. This extended warranty must be purchased at the time you purchase your device. You cannot purchase it after the device ships. For full details click on the ? icon next to the extended warranty option.
IClear30S Refill instructions:
1. Unscrew the metal top cap
2. Add your favorite e-juice into the tank, but avoid the center hole when filling.
3. Add about 3ml of fluid into the tank
4. Re-install metal top cap
5. Enjoy
Note: The Iclear30 is a top load tank. Never unscrew the bottom to fill. With this tank, since the wick is at the top, sometimes you need to tip the tank upside down to wet the wicks.

Sounds perfect, although personally I would go with the 30s tank I prefere them over the aspire, but that's just me. Also buying a extension cap and a couple of 18490/18500 batts might not be a bad idea although you should be able to get between 100-200 hits off a 18350. Enjoy the Provari it is so much better then the little pen battaries

Hi~
I started vaping in April with standard EVODs- after much reading, then another purchase of the EVOD glass, and then more reading, I jumped on the memorial day sale at provape and got that same kit you’re eyeing. I also decided that I didn’t want to buy coils anymore so I went with the russian91% instead of a nautilus.

I’ll tell you my one regret- I wish I’d gotten the full size provari. I don’t vape anywhere near 100-200 puffs/day but I do notice the battery on the mini is pretty short lived. If you’re really set on getting it, get the extension cap and the 18490 battery too. I wish I had.

Last suggestion- Save the money you’d spend on the nautilus and invest in the russian91. In the long run you’ll end up saving money and have a better, more flexible device. Kanthal and organic cotton is really inexpensive when compared to those nautilus coils.

I have a friend running a nautilus and whenever he comes over he says ‘hand it over’ (meaning the Russian) – it is just that much better.

Difficult question to answer,
I dislike all clearo's equally, haven't found one that works for me for more than a few days without some sort of issues.
Some folks have good luck with clearo's.

An 18350 battery lasts me around 3.5 ~ 4.5 hours, on the other hand for my wife they last around 6 hours.
My Provari's have been used in extreme conditions for quite some time with never a need for service, I don't see any need for the extended warranty. Repair costs are very reasonable.

The mini is small, too small for my hands, I prefer the standard size, fits better in my hand & longer battery life.

I have 5 provaris at the moment....3 minis and 2 standards. I'd actually go with the mini. Extensions from tatroe can get your mini to an 18650 but nothing can get a standard to 18350. Sometimes you just want a small device, and the provari mini is among the smallest when it comes to regulated mods.
Also, unless you already know how to build, the Nautilus is a great tank. I agree that the Russians and Kayfuns are better but there's a slight learning curve and additional supplies you'll need. Not everybody is into building and fiddling.
You'll love your provari no matter what you put on it! congrats!

Last year when I started I bought a white provari mini with blue LCD.
4 AW 18350 batteries with plastic battery cases and an XTAR VP-1 charger.
Also bought some IBTanked carto tanks and kanger protanks. The carto tanks and kanger tanks didn't leak on me.
Still glad I have my protanks and carto tanks for back up, but I mainly use my Kayfun lite plus V2 on it now.

i bought one today as well. im wondering what tank/top is best and lower maintenance...if that makes sense :)

It's a trade off- lower maintenance : more money. The Nautilus is getting great reviews but it also has the most expensive replacement coils out there.

Only you can decide what is 'best' - different tank sizes, design, materials and cost all impact that 'best' rating. Indoorsmokers just did a 2014 tank review video on youtube. He's not a rebuildable kind of guy and is pretty informative. Youtube has zillions of reviews on tanks.

I went with the mini w/ an extension cap and if I had to do it again, I'd just get the regular size. I find myself using the extension 100% of the time. The size difference isn't noticeable enough to compensate for the lower battery duration, so I never use it in "mini" mode.

In fact, I'd probably get the regular size with an extension cap.

This x2.

I started with a full size and regretted it. Mini and extension cap are in the mail to correct that.

I have both the standard size and mini Provari. My favorite is the mini as it is my all-day carry-around which is more pocket-friendly than the standard size. I merely carry a spare 18350 battery with me should I need it.

I never bought the optional second year warranty and am glad I didn't. I've never had a problem with any of my Provari's, and after-warranty repairs are very reasonable. I put that saved money into other options.

If you think you'll ever get into rebuildables, I also recommend a Kayfun-style tank. Not a fan of any clearo tank.

Read my Why Provari? blog.

    hello is the ProVari mini good for begginers ?

    It'll be fine, just have to learn the on screen menu and learn about battery safety/usage. And it doesn't have ego threading yet for some clearos.

    Some people adapt quickly, some would prefer a fixed battery, like an ego, so they can focus on their toppers and juices.

    If you don't end up liking it, they sell well.
