I'm not sure what you mean by, "push my vari to it's limits." It's regulated, so it's limits are obvious. As far as a black rda, you might consider searching Google images to see if anything looks interesting.

A tip with the Stealth: the light doesn't blink when the battery is low, so you to need to check the battery level periodically to keep from over discharging it. This is especially true if you are vaping at a low resistance. With the ProVari's consistency you won't notice a drop in vapor production when the battery gets low, like with a mechanical, and it's easy to run it down.

Pretty sure that although the Stealth doesn't give you an external warning, it will refuse to fire once the battery's depleted, no?

It runs down until the battery no longer fires. From what I understand that can shorten the life of the battery. In any case, if one doesn't check the battery periodically it can stop firing when you don't expect it to. At least when you get the low battery blink, you still have some vape time to address the situation.

The Provari cuts off somewhere between 3.2 and 3.4 volts IME.

IMR batteries can survive as low as 2.5 volts, although that wears them down faster if done too often. So I don't think draining them down to 3.3-ish should be a problem.

ICR batteries are probably a different story, but Provape don't recommend those for the Provari anyway.

(Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these points. I don't think I am, but who am I to tell?)

The ByLeo dripper. It's not black, but you could DuraCoat it.

For battery discharge, the Provari cuts it off & refuses to fire at a safe voltage where it's not causing more stress on the battery than it can take... OTOH, it's better to swap out the battery earlier than that. Many folks like to pull them at 3.5-3.6v. It's not horrible to run it until the Provari cuts you off, but you will get a better overall lifespan & better performance pulling it earlier than that. Assuming you're using the recommended AW's, of course. The cutoff can vary depending on your build & the age of the battery. Either way, with a Stealth it's a good idea to just check the battery once in a while, as Ocey was suggesting.
