Indeed I thought I was going to be bored watching the video but I wasn't, it was really informative. Im pretty much on a slight to no budget but my fiancé does spoil me lol. She gets me what I want and tries to find ways to get it for me and that's why I don't ask her that much because shes so good to me. She knows I only ask if I truly want or need it.....the provari isn't a need but she knows I want it bad. Im a stay at home step dad since she has the good job and a 10 year old that's a handful with adhd and a lot of trouble in school and all so I am basically Mr. MOM lol. I do all the cleaning, cooking, school work and taking care of the house, garden laundry and all that and she says I work harder than she does. I love her so much and she is such an amazing woman. With all that we have going on with getting married soon and going on a cruise to Belize money has been tight this last year. Im hoping that im saving money by not smoking anymore and I was smoking the cheap cigs in the first place.....the clippers for $10 a carton.....seems like buying e -juice is about the same tho. So getting a provari is a big buy for me....us.

Oh trust I know; it's a big purchase for almost anyone. 3 years ago I was in a serious "incident"
I'll call it. Was on my way to work and broke down; decided to walk for help and I got hit by a full size 4 door pickup doing 65 mph. Woke up a month later out of a coma; and am now paralyzed from just above the waist down. Also I was a truck driver so I had to go back to school to get a job again. I just graduated, finally, in electrical engineering but am currently lookin for a job. I've been on disability for the past 3 years. Like you have an amazing woman that got together with
Me, shortly after my 6 month stay in spinal cord rehab. She has two kids, now my step kids that I couldn't love more if they were my own, so yeah i know exactly the budget situation. I did the provari purchase like this -
2 packs a day at 3.50 a pack is 7 dollars a day at 30 days a month is 210 dollars
There was my provari- reward for quitting
priceless.
And the fact that it may just be the last mod you need makes it an even smarter choice
For the juice there are several inexpensive options
My baker - personally not a fan allot of people like them though
Lucky7 seem to get really good reviews
Several options out there if you look in the juice forums I'm sure you can find something!

I purchased a ProVari Mini on my first day of vaping. It's the best $160.00 i spent in a long time, considering i was spending $90.00 a week on a carton of analogs.

JazzyJag! We met at the Northboro NEV meet.

$90 a week is a lot of smoking.

Not in Mass it's not. When I smoked I drove to NH (50 mile round trip) to save $30/carton :p

I put the difference in the tank and a ride into NH is always a good thing.
Well, almost always, there was that time I had court in Concord...:facepalm:

when I started with my mvp I was using the counter and I was surprised I was at around 220 per day.....BUT....it started getting more and more lol and im up to around 4-5oo a day now, I think im refilling my tank twice a day so maybe about 6ml and that's about a bottle every 2 days right of a 15ml bottle. So about $12 every 2 days.....its a bit more expensive then when I was smoking but you cant put a price on health......the only thing better would be to quit all of it but I really enjoy the vaping thing now. At least I don't have the guilt and the smell and the mess and worry of cancer.

Yeah I know I vape more than I smoked- but I'm on a very low mic juice- 6mg and I never smoked indoors now I vape wherever and whenever I want except restaurants and stores out of respect for people around me. Never ever smoked in the house though- that's changed ! Lol

That is a good point. They are cheaper here in the desert of West Texas. As they say...location, location, location.

That is quite an amazing story. A provari is not even enough of a reward considering what you have been through. Keep up the hard work and dedication!

Consider buying what you like in bulk at max nic then cut it , that should save you $$ or make your own . The one reason i stay away from expensive mods is because i know if i start accumulating gear it will make me much less likely to get off nic altogether , i can't stop now , look at all the great gear i have lol.

I got my Provari this week and it was love at first vape! Only trouble I've had with it, is that I get into the menu while chain-vaping and turn up the voltage. :D:laugh:
It is one steady and reliable mod and much smaller than my itaste 134. I can actually bring it with me any time!

That's normal when many people first get theirs. You'll get used to it quickly and will likely stop doing it.

Those mah ratings on batteries can be decieving. I have used some cheap high mah rated batteries in the past and they didn't even last as long as the old 1600 mah aw batteries I had at the time. The provari only works with button top batteries, so that will limit you somewhat in what you can get. Provape recommends using genuine AW batteries. Trust me, with a provari, battery life is rarely an issue.
