Can't say I am ready to jump on board the rebuildable bandwagon as of yet, and if I were, it would be stainless mesh and something like the DID or the Hellfire.

Well the Phoenix does mesh and is geared towards a more entry-level, approachable device. Don't get me wrong, the DID makes my toes curl..but right now, $12-$30 compared to $100 is a no brainer. It will allow the user to get adjusted with a RA and see if something in the $100+ ballpark would be worth an investment down the road. Just my food for thought and what has been going on in my own head..

I understand your train of thought, why buy a provari when you can try an LT first.

More or less..in this case, I'm not 100% sure I am going to enjoy messing with a RA. More than likely I will, but maybe not..In the Provari/LT debate..I knew I wanted VV, I knew I wanted a Provari but I didn't want to wait and I got a good deal on the LT the first time around. But in the general idea, yeah..why spend $200+ on a device you don't, at the time, know that you will want all of the options, when you can give it a go for 25% of the cost?

Ugh!!! The dreaded vaper's tongue. Two days now I haven't been able to taste my 24x7 favourite juice. Luckily I have a couple others that I like, but I'm starting to miss my goto.

I have 5 brand new cartos and a Vivi Nova filled with it (thought I might have got a bad batch of Boges).

Hope this doesn't last too long. Anyone else ever had to deal with this?

I have.....drink heavier. It won't help the taste but you won't care:D

I think I'm more apt to fiddle with pre-made stuff like the nova heads to improve the performance than be building things from scratch.

Ill run it buy the SO after a few drinks, but I brought it up last night at double the cost, so she should bite. I know the person is waiting on payments from others before ordering, but I can PM them tomorrow and check in. If not, I will more then likely throw down for one. Ya know, Hawk, I love you, man..but come one! Lol..I could order 2, but ya would have to throw me some paper.

I love my provari. I friend at work bought the LT at the same time. My provari is still kicking strong. After he ordered his second LT, he went back to his bomb shell mod. The provari is one of the best units you can buy Imo. But I also know that it is not the best for everyone. It took me a long time to break down and buy one. It also helped that I had batteries and a charger already. That kept the cost down. Has the LT come down in price? It has been a while since I looked but at that time it was exactly half the cost of the Provari.

Well I just grabbed a LT for $30 with a 1 year warranty..otherwise I wouldn't have purchased another one. Have a list of PVs I will hopefully be buying and 5 that are a must have for me. The Provari is in that group of 5. Well, maybe 6 now, depending on further inspection of that VV Gripper..

You getting rain down there in Lincoln? Havent seen a drop here yet

Yeah, it rained for 2 minutes then stopped. I about had a fit..still had lightning and thunder, but no rain..until, about 20-30 min ago, now a decent on/off shower. Not enough to make me happy, but just enough that its gonna cut down my time between mowings by a week or two, lol.

Wow 30 bucks is a great deal. The gripper looks nice. I have been trying to figure out how the "feel" would be. I don't know how comfortable the switch placement is. Hope it comes up in the reviews.

Like the High School junior prom date..which is why you ended up leaving wth her best friend..

So, off topic..it's closer to definitely not PWM from crap I have looked at, between drinks. Of course I mean the VVG. It hits like a freight train, and handles the load with ease..
