i cannot speak about the other devices, but the provari is for sure 100% better than a VAMO, altho there is nothing wrong with the VAMO and it works decently, the provari is much more solidly built and better quality. my VAMO is now acting up once in a while but the provari is still going strong with no problems. theres nothing wrong with the other mods, but i have to defend the provari as being an excellent device.

I guess I'll have no problems selling this!


i would just keep it and order yourself a mini for when you go out.
i have or have had gas station disposables,blu's,n-joy's,ego's,vamos,lavatubes,zmaxs,various box mods and my provari's get used 99% of the time,youll find the smaller devices will not last you the day are very breakable and leak alot and no options,mid sized are ok but often are missing features that make your vape better like variable voltage/wattage and normally are not strong enough to last a full day
the vast majority of us ex smokers start off wanting the smallest ecig we can get our hands on but end up with one of the biggest ones you can find just for the simple fact that getting a good strong hit to curb those craving is more important then how the thing looks in your hands or pockets:) not saying provari is the only choice out there for a full featured device but is defiantly one of the all around best you can have and considering you already have one i would keep it:)

My bad, you also asked about options. What are you using now? I got into carto/tanks pretty much from the start with my Volcano Inferno. Good tanks and good cartomizers shouldn't leak or flood and vape really well. With the right size, you can go all day without a refill on the eJuice. Which is also the one downside I have with tanks. Harder to change flavors or sample, so I have several 510 atomizers (3.2ohm for the Provari at higher voltage) for a quick sample. I now have 4 Volcano tanks (2-3ml & 2-7ml) and 3 IBTanked setups (2-19mm, 1-22mm). Check the review section for IBTanked....fantastic price for a great product (Baditude has some really good info on his reviews and blogs).

HA! No worries, I love haters!

I don't like how the provari sticks out of my pocket so much. LOL.
Thanks for the help BTW :)

Jazon brought up a good point, because whether you realize it now or not, you will want to have more than one PV (personal vaporizer). I usually have at least 3 setup with different juices in them at any one point during the day. That way, I can switch off between them when I want something different. Regardless, you are going to want to have a backup of some kind. There are all kinds of deals out there. For example, I got one of these* mechanical mods for $36. You have to put yourself on the waiting list and he will email you when it comes in.

Like Drunk_J said, Baditude's blog is a great resource to get you started.

* For some reason, the url that I pasted in for where you can buy the Empire style K100 telescoping mod is being mangled by the forum software. So, you'll have to go to Hoosier Vapes, click on New Mods and you will see it.

Congratulations, livelife, and welcome to the forum. Sure, I doubt you'll have a whole lot of trouble selling your Provari. What I would do if that is what you really want to do is to complete all the new member posts and then, when you can, get verified so that you can get access to the classifieds subforum.

One thing to think about though. I have a Provari Mini, but very soon afterwards I was wishing it could hold a 18650 battery so I spent more money buying a telescoping piece from modder so that I could do just that. If I had the bigger Provari, I wouldn't have had to do that.

I have to agree. There is a lot to be said for having an 18650 battery. You'll appreciate the extra battery life. Easier to have more capacity than you may need than to have not enough.

LOL cant say that i'm a provari owner, but ive wanted one pretty much since i decided the cig style batteries werent for me, but i'm happy with my current setup (Saber Touch VV + Kanger Protank) works well for what i want, of course i have my ego style mini for a backup and other delivery systems to put atop the ST but for the last week its been the protank all the way lol. As many others stated whatever keeps you off the analogs and works for you stick with it, and Welcome to ECF

If the URL won't post, the vendor is blocked. Fasttech is selling K100 mods, but that's all I know about them - I've never tried one.

Hi E-Cig forum!
Looks like it's the time to say bye to cigs :toast:

Just got a Provari as a gift. Love it, but I love the mini a LOT MORE :cry:

What are my options? How's the resale on a regular provari?

Thanks in advance!

Hi livelife and welcome to ECF. You have a beautiful APV in your hands and you'll have no problems selling it, like others have said.

If I were you, and if money were no object, I'd keep the regular size ProVari and get a mini mod that can do some things that a Provari can't do, like variable voltage wattage (a very nifty feature), nice OLED display and a head that is compatible with both 510 and eGo-threaded toppers. One such mini currently in production is a true mini Sigelei Zmax. You need more than one battery, anyway. :)

Anyway, just a suggestion.

Mazal tov! No, I didn't! Well, now I did.

I usually try to avoid reading your sig--that bit about playing with it 'til it's dead is very disturbing to small birds. :D

There is an amazing sale going on.

ETA: Or was, I don't know if it still is going on. The vendor called me and he is flipping out he has had so many orders.
