So I have had this awesome 3 ml stainless steel boge cartomizer tank for 2 years that used to be my go to delivery device. I loved to use it on my Provari because it billows vapor and is leakproof (one of the things that irritates me with rebuildable atomizers tanks). It originally came with a 510-510 adaptor specifically made for the Provari. To make a long story short, the adaptor eventually wore out and was not available because the company discontinued the cartomizer tank line. As many of you know using a regular 510-510 adaptor does not work with the Provari because the contacts, well, do not make good electrical contact. A standard 510-510 adaptor contact stem looks like a hollow rod. This needs to be elevated or made longer to make proper contact with the Provari power stem. With a soldering iron heat the adaptor contact stem (with a small tip at an angle) and apply solder to raise the contact in a plume-like fashion upwards. Take care in not letting the solder make contact with the surrounding adaptor or else you will create a short. Took me a couple tries, but it is doable. vaping away at a perfect 4.2 V at 3 ohms with no errors. Hope this helps somebody out there. I know it's not a cutting edge setup anymore, but it continues to be the favorite delivery system of mine.
Of course this all could be folly if someone knows where to buy a 510-510 adaptor that is specifically made for the Provari. If someone knows, please provide a link!
Regards,

Not sure EXACTLY what the fit challenge is - picture might help!
But just in case either of these is the ultimate fix, and you're not aware of them,

A) The ProVape adapter looks like it has a 510 connection as WELL as the Ego connection, and I've heard it's built REALLY well for a simple adapter. Of course.

B) The Hippo, while expensive, is another option - broad compatibility for anything 510, also potentially fixing any gap or airflow issues.
