Secretly enjoying my new to me Provari that I purchased from the classies because the new mini I bought for my wife has not yet arrived lol. Well she doesn't know I bought us a pair and certainly does not know how much they cost haha. Well the reality is that she doesn't realize how much Ive spent buying juice, all sorts of different juice delivery systems and made in china clones.

Ive finally decided that I like carto/tank for on the go and RDA's/RBA's at home. Also I realized that I was going for quantity over quality. I got bit by the co-op bug and have now accumulated a good selection of mechs and RBA/RDA's - some I am still patiently waiting on. Well I realized the other night as I was browsing the classifieds that I was not entertaining the idea of buying the more expensive mechs and provaris...and why? That was a question I couldn't answer because I've darn well spent enough money already and was ready to spend more trying and collecting the cheap stuff. I was chasing after the wrong things I guess...looking for satisfaction in the wrong places. Well I think I'm done throwing money away. Bought a pair of provaris for me and my wife, some vaporfexion tanks and jwraps. I'll treat myself to a non-clone mech/RBA every once in a while and call it a day...done, no more wasting time and money.

Back to the Provari though, it certainly is built well and solid. The threads are amazing and the finish is superb. Vape quality is as good as my mechs....well before the battery drops off :?:. It's leaps and bounds better than my 3 month old vamo that is turning off when it feels like it and buttons that refuse to work at times. With an 18650 it's not too big in my hands, waitin for my 18500's to come in the mail because all I have are flat tops (why oh why did I order a bazillion flat top batteries from that last co-op?!). The menu system was easy to get used to...I play video games so button mashing is nothing new to me :p.

Anyhow. I can't wait to get the rest of my stuff and of course my wife's provari so I can enjoy it with her and post some pictures of them all dressed up and happy together lol. It's time for me to put my new friend away because I hear my wife pulling up to the house. Here's to the beginning of a new level of satisfaction/gratification...pics to follow!

Welcome to the club, been through a few cheapos myself and I hear ya aboutthe vamo buttons and power lol. my latest one is just starting this crap makes a nice atty rebuilding stand and ohms meter though.

.Im in the same boat. no real need to collect toys, once in a while i see a nice atty or something and treat myself. except for little things like drippers, mostly avoid the clones and knockoffs as well.

Well enjoy, im sure the wife will be surprised.

I have found the same to be true! I grabbed a V1 off the classifieds, used it for a week before i sent it in to be upgraded. I felt lost without it for the week. My evic, Custom Sigelei Mini, SVD and MVP just don't provide the same vape. I have gravitated to Cartotanks and Provari's. I have had enough fiddling with different clearomizers, heads and silica wick etc etc. I just received my second Provari from classifieds and im even more pleased with it. Silver Satin V2 mini w/ Blue LED. They are simply just a solid well built device that provides a superior vape imo. Just grabbing a buddies Provari and taking a vape wont do it either. You need to own one for a week or so to get the bug. I think my SVD and Evic are gonna end up on the classifieds, not sure i can put my mvp up tho.

I must find another Provari! Perhaps a colored one with a green led!

Happy Vaping! :vapor:

I have enough mods. but I could always use one more of each TYPE of mod. When you think in types, it gets harder. My thinking tends to go like this "Ooo I love my provari, I want to get a 2nd one. I'll get black with blue or green LED. I'll even get a Zen atty Pro. It'll be my coffee table provari and it'll stay home. Oooo and I love my reo mini.. I need a Reo Grand so the batteries will last longer!! I'll get a nice brand new grand with a reomizer2, maybe even two reomizer2s so if the 1st one breaks, I'll have a spare. If I get the Reo Grand, I might as well not get the new provari. My new Reo Grand will be my new pride and joy. oooo but I love genesis devices and I dont even have one. I'll get a Zen. Maybe a sidewinder. Or maybe I'll get an Ihybrid Pure! Yeah!! Oh, wait, I'll have the ZAP for my new provari so maybe I don't need a genesis... ooooo but I do want to get a high end mechanical. I have enough cheap mechs but I need one high end mechanical in my collection. Maybe I'll get a Atmizoo Roller and a new RSST for it. Yeah. So, 1. Provari w/ZAP 2. ReoGrand w/two Rmz2 3. Ihybrid Pure 4. Atmizoo Roller & RSST...

Oh but I really need a flat top VV device to use a genesis atty on, they look so bad on my evic. I need a spare vv mod for my provari that isn't so long and looks good with the RSST... Maybe I'll get myself a flat top stainless steel Zmax. Yeah. And an RSST for it. Ok so: 5. Flat Top SS Telescoping Zmax.

Oh but shoot... I have no rebuildable atomizer for my Silver Bullet or my Bolt. I have to get a UDT or an Aga-S for my bolt, and maybe an Aga-T2 or an RSST for my Silver Bullet. So: 6. RSST for SBullet 7. UDT for my Bolt And then shoot, I wanted to pick up at least one A7mini for my Reo Mini, since Im tired of using a 510 to 510 adaptor with my two A7s. So: 8. A7 mini Oh, and I need to pick up some silica, some mesh, and some kanthal. I'm literally completely out of everything as I type this. So: 9. Kanthal, Mesh, Silica. Oh yeah, and I've been wanting a gold and silver mod ever since I first joined ECF.. And a couple gold/silver mods just came out on Fast Tech. So: 10. KTS+ Oh yeah, and I'm going to run out of juice if I don't buy some in the next month. So: 11. Buy some juice!

Ohh yeah and I still owe $40 to paypal Bill Me Later before I get anything. Ugh that means I can't get the kanthal and wick I desperately need right now. And not even one Igo-L off the list. If I don't get that kanthal I wont even be able to vape! I need to make some money.

Oh, and Igo-Ls!! I wanna get some good dripping attys for all my mods. The ones I have are so old that they came out before china knew to put the air hole in the right spot. Sheesh. So: 13. Get a couple/few Igo-L atomizers. Oh yeah and I need to get a Jwrap for my Silver Bullet... And I wanted to get a ProRing for my provari, and a genesis for it until I can afford a ZAP.. So: 14. Jwrap 15. Proring 16. Another Atty.

Oh yeah, and... 17. I need cartomizers for my carto tanks 18. I need new vivi nova heads badly!! 19. I should get some Kanger T3s and spare T3 heads for my evic since they look so nice on it. Oh and 20. A tatroe provari extender so that I can finally use it longer between charges! OH and 21. I need to buy more batteries so I can use all my mods all at the same time and have spares for all of them. OH and 22. I need a nice 6 bay charger so I dont have to use up all my outlets with these cheap 1 bay chargers! 23. I need a coil testing station! 24. I need a load voltage tester! 25. I need an external battery tester! 26. I need a damn hand drill so I can finally bore all these airholes out! OH and 27. I need a butane torch!

OH! and 23. Make like 700 bucks, quickly.

The real funny thing is, I wont get any of it lol.

That $40 paypal bill I added into that post, was my reo mini. And I made my 1st payment on it the last week of July. The 6 months of no payments promotion just ended. It was the 1st time I've ever used credit in my life. I'll be lucky if I can figure out a scheme to make the $40 I'll need to pay the next payment thats due the 1st week of september and also manage to get kanthal before I run out.

Ladies, I am single if your intrigued ;)
