The second week of April. I didn't mark a particular day, it was whenever the last cigarette in the last pack was finished. I haven't touched or wanted one since.

Cool idea, Zapped! I never would have thought of that.
Might take a couple of emails or phone calls but Im sure they'd be willing to do that for ya. I know one of my other friends on here had them add a green led to their Polished Chrome Provari.
I wonder if the plant that does their cerakote (spelling?) coating would do it by special arrangement. I'm sure they would have a red?

Get one from the classies for a bit cheaper
See disassembly here
Perform carefully.
Find local gunsmith who does cerakote...wait...reassemble...profit
Well, I just lucked out and picked up a "blemed" black provari that was just posted on provapes site. Hopefully its just a dark or light logo.....And now the waiting begins
Baditude. Get it. life is short and unpredictable. I see people dying all the time, of all ages, working in a huge hospital like I do. You're not taking any money with you when you go. Enjoy life and treat yourself well. As long as it's not costing you the food and shelter to keep you alive then if it's something you really want.... do it.
Not trying to sound morbid or morose but when you've worked in the medical profession for 28 years life takes on a different perspective.

Although I have a Provari already, 2 other VV mods, and 2 mechanicals, I still really want a Mini. I keep debating whether to gift myself one for my 1 year smoke-free anniversary.
What do you all think?
I just got myself a black mini blue led with extender cap. I am very happy camper. It is my second I actually scored a v1 provari standard lengthon ebay for 115 dollars and I was sold on them. The mini is a good size very pocket friendly.
Soon I will have my Provari a year. I haven't even had to get the eGo backups out a single time, although I throw the batteries on the charger occasionally to keep them topped off. My Provari has rolled out of the car on the pavement several times. The only thing that suffers is the carto or the tank. The plastic Vivi Novas will jump a thread and require unscrewing and reseating, but the Provari always works when you pick it up. I try my best to protect it, but sometimes you forget and it rolls off the car seat.
I have no complaints with the Provari. I was a carto vaper for a long time, but recently I ordered a Vision Vivi Nova and it has performed well since I learned how to make it stay at optimum performance. I filled up a carto for comparison the other day and vaped it for a while. Flavor and vapor were about the same, so I went back to the Vivi Nova. It's less troublesome to keep topped off and fits perfectly on the Provari.
I'm probably going to order a Vamo for backup since the eGo stuff is mostly 2 to 3 years old. I probably should order a backup Provari, but I haven't needed a backup yet and the Vamo is about $50 and uses my current 18650 batteries. I've done periodic voltage checks using an inline digital voltmeter and I always get a result within 1/100 of a volt from the Provari setting. If I set it at 4v the meter reads 3.99v with the atomizer attached and energized. What more could you ask for in accuracy? I get that reading when the battery is fresh off the charger or down to 3.3v. The Provari mil spec circuitry is accurate and reliable.
Everyone calls us fanboys, but it's for good reason that we are happy with our purchase.

You know, Provari lovers and haters both say a PV is nothing more than the powerplant for the juice and the delivery device, the primary two components that makes the flavor in the vapor. Technically they are right in that statement.
However, the Provari is extremely precise and consistant in doing what it does. PBusardo trusts the Provari's ohm reader enough that he no longer uses a multimeter to check the ohms of delivery devices during his reviews, he checks on the Provari. More than any other device, PBusardo uses the Provari in many of his reviews, a testament to the reputation that it has earned as the standard of modern PV's. Does he use a Vamo, an Evic, or a V-max? No, he has stuck to the Provari since he "got it."
The Accuset chip set in the Provari makes the vaping experience more consistant than any other device. So having a Provari adds just that much more to the overall vaping experience and may be why so many people say how much improved their own vaping experience is since using a Provari.

A typical and not surprising account, Chimney34 above received a Smoktech Groove recently and was quite impressed with it when she got it. She also recently ordered and received a Mini Provari and had the above comments. Comparatively they are different footprint (box vs tube), one VV/VW and one only VV, but unless I'm reading something different, it's clear that compared side by side she was the most impressed with the Provari, to the tune of wanting a second one for a backup to Provari #1. Did she forget about Groove altogether?

I am one that skipped buying a bunch of other mods before a Provari. I don't miss not trying any of them. I have had it for a week now, and it rocks No regrets.
No regrets.
Yep! Day 2 & I still feel the exact same way today! I haven't forgotten about my groove. It'll still go with me to places where I don't want to take my Provari but will it be around forever. I doubt it. It is essentially now one of my backups along with my ego batteries. My pretty purple monster is absolutely #1. As someone who thought they'd never drop the cash for a Provari I'm now kicking myself for not buying it sooner!
I'm starting to get really antsy, I placed my order two days ago and it is still "processing"
Totally normal. It says 3-7 days as the processing time. Placed my order last Friday night & received it yesterday. My guess is it'll prob ship tomorrow or sat at the latest. It'll take a couple extra days to get to you though since it needs to pass customs. As soon as it ship you'll be able to track it. But waiting is no fun!
I've had mine for right around 2 years, and don't leave home without it! I put a jump ring onto the side and wear it on a lanyard wherever I go. I am not in any way "gentle" and it has flown off my neck countless times. It is worth twice what I paid. For sure it is an investment. IO have many other mods and general ecigs, but my Provari is the one that i will not leave home without. Take the plunge, my friend,not a chance you will regret it in any fashion!
I just got mine in today! Ordered Monday night, received Thursday. Sadly, my order of new attys and cartos will not be here till tomorrow, so I have been dripping with an atty that is not working very well. Other than that, I love it. It is so tiny! Why did I spend so much on replacing ego batteries two or three times a year for the last two years? My best friend used Bolts - has like four of them. They are huge to me. I did not want a big mod so I kept buying egos. I had no idea the provari was basically the same size, just a little bigger around. It is awful heavy though, in comparison. I was worried about taking it with me when I leave the house but it's so tiny! No worries there. I am really happy I got it. Shelling out the money was a bit painful, but it's actually cheaper than the 8-12 egos I bought every year. I could have had two or three by now! My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner.
This admission is repeated weekly, if not daily over on the Provari forums. You would think these types of recommendations would dampen any reservations by those who might doubt its true value despite an admittingly steep price. Glad to hear your story was a positive one for you.
On the other hand, word from contacts with Provape indicate that they are just able to keep up production to keep up with demand, so people are definitely buying Provari's in high numbers.
For me, I had never seen, held, or been able to use one. The closest store with vaping supplies is 50 min from me and just recently opened. I haven't been there yet. If I had ever actually seen one in person, I would have bought it a long time ago. It's hard to tell the size or quality in pictures. I will happily show mine off, though. Perhaps I will run across someone who has debated on buying one. It is a far cry from my friend's big plastic Bolts.
