Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[440BB]

I don’t think some members realize just how good the Provi prices are in the classies. I monitor them all the time. Provis in the classies almost always are offered for half the EBay prices. It always amazes me when there is a no sale.

I suspect that the ECF membership has accumulated more of them already, making them move slowly here. At the same time, the general vaping public is still coming to realize the great value the smooth power, extreme durability and American craftsmanship ProVaris offer. If someone isn't on ECF or any of the FB groups, eBay is their only option. There is a big audience and only a dozen or so on eBay at any time.

I never got into the Provari mods. I looked at them, looked at the innokin SVD, bought the SVD. I liked it so much that I bought one for my older son for his birthday. I know that people say that a Provari is worth the price because of the quality...but I bought those SVD's back in early 2014 (I think) and they are both still in use today. They cost me about 40 bucks each brand new.

I think also new members don’t realize the importance of getting verified.

I have both.

In fact that’s about all I have. Lol

@listopencil and @redeuce - If either or both of you want to stash some replacement parts for your Innokin SVDs...EVCigarettes has the replacement eGo and 510 top caps, the 2 sizes of tubes, and the bottom battery caps, in both colors, in their Blowout Clearance section.

I got a few of each several months ago, to put in my stash, before they aren't available any more.

 

[corn flakes]

I have both.

Me too.

About twice as many svd2's as provaris.

Thank you, but I gave my SVD away a couple of years ago. I'm a fiend for getting people off of the cigs and I give away set ups as I upgrade to people who can't make the initial investment on gear.

I saw your other post about that and stocked up. Thanks for the tip.

And, lol, holy crap; EVCigarettes has a dual 26650 mech box mod wired in series. In case that appeals to you then you should notice that the friction fit Delrin battery door is on the bottom. Why is that important? The door has both a positive and a negative copper post running completely through it. But, hey they warn you not to fire it up while it is sitting on a conductive surface. It's called the Big Pig and for $134.99 it's yours.

Well - I'm currently vaping on an Aspire NX100 with a Nautilus 2 on top. This contains a bog-standard Nautilus Mini 1.8 ohm doo-dah and Vapegoo Bongo Juice. I vape it at 8.7 watts. That makes me a tootle-puffer of the old school, I hope (especially because when I'm out and about I use one of three iStick Picos. They're great!). In fact I often vape at 8.6w , but the Bongo liked a little nudge upwards...

I think one of the reasons provaris are so popular, aside from the smooth vape, high quality workmanship and American made, is because, being such high quality devices, one can expect them to last a lot longer than many of the other devices on the market.

When I was buying mine in the summer of 2016 we were all worried about the Vapocalypse possibility coming soon after, and we didn't know if we would be able to buy devices if it came to be and at what cost. I wanted devices that were known to last so, for me, it was a no brainer. And after I started using my first one I was in love.

@e-pipeman - Wow! I think your ECF join date is about the earliest 1 I've ever noticed! This coming October will make it a decade!

About being a Tootle-Puffer - The 8.6-8.7W that you and many other TPers vape at is even higher than I normally vape. Just for the heck of it, for the first time ever, I tried several puffs at 8W, 10W, 12W, and 15W earlier this afternoon. I didn't like 12W nor 15W at all. 8W and 10W were both tolerable, but still not as low as I prefer. I'm vaping right now at only 6.9W with an Eleaf 20W mod and a Berserker MTL RTA with a 1.3ohm coil in it....and loving it! I've only within the last month started using a Berserker, and it's by far the best MTL tank I've ever used. It provides an easy to draw, absolutely smooth, very flavorful vape...even at my puny little 6.9W, and even lower than that, too.

Isn't it great that there's a huge variety of vaping gear for everyone...no matter what way a person vapes, what wattage, type of mod or tank, etc. that we each prefer? I sure wish I'd discovered and tried vaping back when people like you first started. I would've gotten off the smokes much earlier than I did.

Very nice, very nice. I guess I should post pix of mine sometime?

FWIW, the Eleaf Invoke has become a major player in my day to day vaping. It's dual 18650 in a compact size that's about like vaping the Pico 75W, but with longer battery life and a 220W upper limit (1W to 220W range). It has a center mounted 510 socket that fits 22mm and 24mm atomizers without hangover, but maintains a small overall size. Batteries slide into the bottom with a hinged door.

One of its nice features is that it cuts itself off if it fires in a pocket or purse. The vape cutoff time is settable to 10s or 15s. If it cuts itself off you just give it 5 clicks and its back on. I think that's a plus that makes me less concerned about continuous pocket firing.

Did I say OLED display? It has one. TC mode works well and it has preheat ramp settings if you are into that.

I bought mine from VaporDNA E-Cigarette. $44.99 for the mod only and $54.99 for the kit with an atomizer included. I bought the mod only because I didn't want the Eleaf Ello T 24mm Sub-Ohm Tank that comes with the kit. I'm a 9w to 12W vaper depending on how new my coil and wick are.

Oh, I love my eleaf invoke as well. I won one and it is my favorite win to date. That mod has so much going for it.... Light, portable well designed, hand feel, display is great, and for a two battery mod, it's just awesome. I would choose it over 7 picos. I like it that much. I understand they are two divisions of the same company, but the Eleaf Invoke is phenomenal. One of my very favorite mods.

Great battery life as well, although it's not really fair to compare to a single battery mod, but the Invoke is pretty awesome.

Don't mind me. I'll just wait right here, silent as can be.

Please do.

Yes, JUMA, please do.

< enough for everyone.
