OMG. I didn't read this before I picked on Vera Bradleys's I wasn't insulting you. LOL I bought my fair share of them. Let me do a plug here...Having bashed Vera Bradley handbags. The best vaping purse is a Vera Bradley mini hipster.I have pics..This is in fact what I use all the time.They are Provari friendly.But again. I don't need 10. I do however need 10 Provari's.At least in my mind.

The VB Mini Hipster is also the favorite bag of choice for Nook users. Practically everyone on the Nook forum was singing its praises, since the Nook fits so nicely inside.

Well that and by using them you wouldn't be taking plastic bags home.But I'm not sure grocery stores will like them.Theft is rampant in grocery stores. The clerk can't really see into them.

I have a handful of nylon grocery bags I use when I can remember to take them with me! I'm getting better, since I wad them up in their carry pouch and try to leave them in the Jeep.

I was picturing the thingy from QVC as one large basket liner. I must be wrong though, because it would be impossible to carry a cart's worth of groceries all at once!

I am suspect of the different labeling on the boxes/wrappers. We have always worked with the same rep., all of our boxes are always marked the same with nothing on the wrap. Boge sells as LR or SR, not by ohms as it can vary carto to carto. I'll be checking to see if there are counterfeits out there. Scary. Going fishing for info now....

Bamrz, I see you're close to Delaware (I guess), big shout out neighbor from tax free Delaware. I just noticed you have a Z-Atty Pro listed in your sig, do you have one of these ??

 

[johnsnhu]

I'm thinking that some vendors may be selling knock offs or something... NOT you FV! Perhaps the carto deal was too good to be true... HA HA!

At any rate, I'll keep track of how many per box I have that either fail, or have that funky taste. The taste is so bad in some, that I'd rather smoke a stinky than hit on it again.... good thing I have my DID and my .357 to back me up!

Bamrz, mine are always in my trunk and I always go in without them. And I was picturing the same thing, one huge cart bag. OMG.

I like the mini hipster but it's waaaay too small for me. It's more like the size of my wallet. I have too much crap.

 

[FlyingV]

John, did you get the funky ones from me?

 

[sessiondrummer]

Johnsnhu, help school the new guy (me). I heard Phil mention a .357 in his vid, what exactly IS a .357 ?? I did a quick Google, and I see they are atty's, at around $20.00, but since I prefer the darker, and sometimes sweeter juices, and would curse mountains over tossing $9.00 EGO atty's, what is special about the .357's ??

 

[Bamrz]

I would also like to volunteer to help test ANY suspect cartos (I'm broke), and/or any test juices as well, at this time.



I should probably start spamming forum wide, and not post, post, posting here driving everyone mad, but I'm sure some of you use rebuildable atty's ?? If so how do you like them, and is anyone considering trying them ??

I'm very intrigued by Zen's ZAtty, and see he will be offering up a Z-Atty-Pro for Provari's soon ??

I have 3 of Zen's products right now, a standard (all-in-one), a ZAP (for Provari) and a ZAU (universal 510). They are truly awesome! The flavor of the juice shines in these (or any genesis really) because there is no filler or other gunk to get in the way. They are a bit pricey to start (atty's run about $130), but if you add up the cost of carto's or regular atty's, they aren't as bad as they seem at first. Plus you don't have to be fiddling with them all the time. I just had to redo my first coil/wick, and that was after 4 months of use!

Here's a box that I got in a carto deal from another vendor:

Its weird too... that I've got a long and short condom...

Ours never have writing on the wrapper. That is weird.

Wow, very jealous. I literally JUST learned about these, and after a quick read it seems(ed) that they were rather hard to acquire, limited production and all. Did send him a message via his site, and I think he said possibly in a few weeks or a month ?? Also heard some scuttle about possibly ramping up production to meet demand, and I'm assuming maybe having someone else mass produce them ??

As far as the pricing, you are very right. If I think back to all the EGO batt's, and LR atty's that I burned up (vape, vape, vape), OMG. BUT, hindsight is always 20/20. Ironically by spending MORE money, you can actually SAVE money (I think that makes sense). The one you mentioned that you had for the Provari, would you recommend that for Provari users, or maybe wait for the "Pro" version (no clue how or if it's different than yours) ??

Hopefully this clears up the confusion. I have cut out the parts about their prefilled cartos as it does not pertain to the issue at hand.
From Boge:
Boge has never changed any material for our cartomizers, no matter blank or prefilled ones. Some people think that the fiber filler has changed, but actually there is no change at all. There are only 2 changes to our packaging. The first change is the condom, but this only happened to several batches in early April, 2012, when the original supplier of condom was out of stock so we had to use condom from another supplier, which was a little bit loose and shorter. However, there wasn't any change at all to any material of the cartos. One or two weeks later we used the original condom again and everything remained the same as before. Some people are talking about the long condom version vs short condom version. Actually the cartos in both versions are exactly the same. We don’t think the length of the condom could have any effect on the quality of the cartos.

Some users put our blank cartos into clear tank (like the so called DCT or F16) and find that they don't work well. This is quite understandable as our cartos are not designed to be used in the clear tank. Our cartos are intended to be used with 3.7v batteries only. It’s not recommended to use our cartos with other devices.

There are lots of fake Boge cartos in the market. When you search “Boge” on Manufacturers, Suppliers, Exporters & Importers from the world's largest online B2B marketplace-Alibaba.com, you’ll find thousands of “Boge products” but most of them are not produced by Boge. We can not exclude the possibility that a certain proportion of the complained Boge cartos are fake. We’ll continue to fight against such fake products to safeguard our rights and interests, and maintain the reputation of the quality of our products.

No matter what the reasons are, we've taken this issue seriously. We are doing something to optimize our products. We’ve added automatic assembling and inspecting machines to increase our productivity and guarantee our quality. We'll continue to enhance the 100% inspection system for all cartos before shipment. We have never, and will never compromise on quality. We trust that we are able to provide all Boge fans with perfect cartos whose quality is as good as usual.

You're in Delaware?? Cool! Hi neighbor!

There's only one Z-Atty Pro, made just for Provari's. There's also a Z-Atty-G for GG users (GG's are out of my price range ) and a Z-Atty U or universal that will fit any 510 device (like a Silver Bullet, Lava Tube, etc). I have to say save your allowance!!! The Z-Atty P is all that and a bag of chips (does anyone say that any more??)!!! I will be getting a few more when they become available. The part I love is that the Provari regulates the voltage over the charge of the battery, so your fist hit off the charger is just as good as your last hit at the end of the charge. You don't have to think about when to change your battery (like you would with the Zenesis Standard), because the Provari flashes to tell you when.

Zen will still be producing and assembling all of his products, but he is negotiating with vendors to sell them so he can concentrate on the design and production. Hopefully things will start becoming available within the next few weeks. He's also just gotten a new machine that's capable of producing about 500 units a month, so that's even more good news.

John, did you get the funky ones from me?

nope... they came from a vendor that does 5 box deals for $24.00... don't want to drop names here.

WOW !!!!! I think the only thing that makes me put DOWN the Provari IS a bag of chips now that you mention it. Crud, now my OCD is kicking in again, hehe. Sure would like one of those Pro's to go with my Pro. Beyond ohm checking, and the VV, what you mentioned about the consistant voltage was the first thing that struck me about the Provari, and saddly with almost two years of NOT having it, I didn't realize what I had been missing. Thank you.
