I think I got my Provari at about 2 months Vaping.
Started out like a lot of people, with a couple eGo Twists. Through ECF and some helpful Vape shop personal, I found better toppers, and settled in with carto tanks on Twists.
Then the Twists started to fade. After just a bit more than 90 days, they were holding less and less of a charge. I had one really bad day where I was forced to short charge my Twists just to not grab a cig.
That day I decided I needed a better battery system.
I went into a few Vape shops to see and hold some bigger tube mods. I got to hold a Provari Mini and a few other similar sized mods.
I knew just a little bit about larger mods from reading ECF, but I didn't pay too much attention because before I had that day of terror, I was pretty happy with the twists.
I had asked some questions in a few of the Provari threads, even arguing a bit with Baditude, and others, poking them asking if a Provari put out Magic Pixie Watts? It had to for the price. Right?
I almost bought a Zmax Mini. $150 for a complete kit with batteries and charger. But for some reason I walked out of the store empty handed.
The next morning, on a lark, not expecting anything, I entered Provari into a Craigslist search and found about 5 for sale!!!!
I got myself a used Provari Mini with a crappy charger, 2 batteries, a PT2, and some ejuice for the same $150 I almost spent on the Zmax. I made the deal at 10:30 PM in the parking
Lot of a 7/11 in a sketchy part of town for cash. Wife thought I was crazy.
Took it home. Cleaned it. Charged the battery. Put one of my carto tanks on it and gave it a try. You know what? It DOES put out magic fairy pixie watts!!!
I had such a good experience with buying a used Provari I bought another used one a month later. I needed a back up!!!!
That's my Provari story.
