What can replace my Provari for under $100 :(

[Tweakzzz]

Although I don't use ECF very often, I have been vaping for about 3 years now. The past year has been with my beloved provari. Unfortunately, too much juice got inside the tube and now it wont fire (I've done all the necessary and recommended cleaning so don't tell me to throw some isopropyl in the tube cause its been done lol). Obviously I will be sending it to provape to get it repaired but now that this has happened I want to have a decent backup mod. So what do you guys think can give me something close to what my provari did for under a $100?

(Obviously a Vamo is being considered so any other ideas would be appreciated)
(Also I am a carto tank til I die type of guy so this is basically just for mods)
(preferably something that will work with all of my 18650's)

Thanks Guys

My provari just got sent to the shop today. I've been using a vamo and I like it a lot. I've been eying the itaste svd because I think it looks sexy. It doesn't look as good in 18650 mode though (IMO), so...

yeah i've always had my eye on that since it came out but i've heard mixed reviews

I have a vamo 3 for a backup, works great, I think one would do a fine job for you.

I have a vamo 2 but honestly if I had to do ti over again I would get the Sigelei ZMax from many reviews I have watched it is just a much more solid device.

That settles it, if I have to eat top ramen instead of AM/PM hamburgers for a while I'm getting a Provari...
What...........................

I, along with everyone who has one strongly recommend it

Flat top tele max, very solid and good looking device

I like my Sigelei ZMax, but hate one button menus. I've got 3 Vamos that I use quite a bit. Really like the 5 click off/on. The SVD is my Pimp Stick in 18650 mode. LOL Niffty looking but the menu system is crap for this day n age.
No matter what VV/VW mod I take out and about, I ALWAYS take a mech mod along.
Wow... I just realized, I only have 3 different VV/VW mods left and over 20 mechs. hummm... I think reliability might be playing a big part here.

Might want to look into getting yourself a mech. At least if you flood it, just remove the battery and hose it out. Just a thought!

Smoktech SID's aren't bad. I have a Provari I use at home and a SID I use at work.

I like the Sigelei Zmax more than my Vamo. I like the one button menu and the screen. It also feels more substantial. Just personal preference.

 

[Tweakzzz]

yeah I think Im goin with the zmax, thanks everyone for your help!

Actually I was going to suggest hanging in there a little longer to the OP - though it might be closer to $140-50 for a "blemished" mini on the Provape site.... but you'd still get that repair guarantee...and later you can always make it a standard for the bigger battery with the extension......

Oooop a typo it should have read a back up Provari..........................

 

[lissa5168]

I love my Zmax! It's hands down my favorite, although I have to qualify that by saying I have never used a Provari as I'm too casual of a vaper to justify the cost of one.

 

[Hulamoon]

Edit to OP - white mini Provari on classifieds for $115.00 ....... Am assuming you'd have the bits and bobs to use it on hand... Always a good (or very very very bad) idea depending on how disciplined you are - to become registered for the classies!

Just become a die hard Provari user, settle for an ego for backup, repair time is about a week usually and, get a backup Provari ASAP. I have two now and two more in the budget this year - well worth it and, I will never fret over one needing to go to the shop again (though that's only been twice (once my bad with too much juice in the tube, and once because I loaned it to a friend and he stripped the cap threads on it- jerk.
