    I think I'm after catching provari-itis. I want one and can't stop scheming about how to get one. I've even been thinking of selling my beloved throathit mod to part fund getting one!

    Someone tell me I don't need one please :D

    well it's ridiculously expensive, it has pretty **** battery life, the amp limit isn't anything to write home about, loads of error codes that apparently keep popping up when you try to use it, it looks like a futuristic dildo, you have to pay extra for an 18650 cap so the **** battery life isn't quite as **** as it otherwise would be, you can't beat a man to death with it, despite what provari owners say it doesn't actually increase length or girth and you'd probably turn into one of those horrible smug provari owners that everybody hates.

    Tell me about it man, I check the provape website at least once a week, I watched Scott's video on the Penelope, and his black mini with the green LED and he gold plated the top and bottom, it looks lovely!

    Hi Alec, I was wandering were you about, hadnt seen a post from you in a while.
    I'm really looking forward to it now. I really love the throathit mod and will still use it as much but ever since I tried out the 24k gold provari they sent for vapefest to check all was ok with it I've wanted to get one as they really are a nice bit of kit and like you say they last as well :)

    Hisvape in Germany.

    Dealt with him before, a really nice guy called Paul, seems like the name Paul is almost a prerequisite to being an ecig vendor.

    The other crowd worth looking at are Ni:Clarity; They sell the V2 on it's own for €209.

    I figured the satin is probably the easiest to keep decent looking, the chrome is lovely but I bet they're easy to mark!

    Provape have 40 dollars off at the moment so it works out less than 200 euros for the satin silver version with 18650 ext cap and express delivery.
    I seen that hisvape site today.

    Did u notice the amount of vendors called Paul as well. i think im dealing with 4 pauls in total with the vendors supporting vapefest it gets very confusing sometimes lol.

    My worry would be getting done for import duties. I forgot to add that the extension cap is included in the deal.

    Really want the Pila charger too, they're the best as well as being nearly €50 to buy on their own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 984 ✭✭✭newmark


    I never heard of the pila charger but that's a fantastic deal so.

    I'm really really interested in the Black Mini now.

    God damn it if only an Irish Vendor had them....I couldn't hack the wait from the states.

    Look 'em up on the torch forums.

    I hope I win the vapefest provari
    just so I can keep it locked away safely from all you fetishists

    There's 2 of them so far you'd never be lucky enough to win them both :D

    http://www.provape.com/Blem-Chrome-ProVari-p/clearanceprovarichrome.htm

    Damn, if I'd have seen these 2 hours ago, not a bad deal 140 us dollars because there's a tiny imperfection or faded logo that is so small it cant be seen on camera!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    can't you cancel your other order/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 984 ✭✭✭newmark


    can't you cancel your other order/

    If I do that by the time I got it cancelled they would probably be gone especially that I'm after posting it on 4 of the forums I'm registered on.

    There's not too much difference anyway as the silver satin was 20 dollars less than the chrome one.

    Rule 1 of vape shopping, if you find a bargain, tell no one, until you've bought one for yourself, or you don't infact want it! Haha!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    Newmark,

    Did you get you ProVari yet?
    If so, what's your opinion on it?

    Provape are still selling blemish versions, apparently you can't find the blemishes on them plus they're discontinuing the chromes because they're such a bastard to laser engrave.

    I got it and I think its great, even better than my expectations. It gives a proper consistent vape every draw throughout the whole of the draw right down to the end of battery. I couldn't say enough positives about it to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    Should have mine next week because the vendor was on his hols (always the bloody way)it's silver satin with a blue display.

    I'm happy with the fact I'm getting a Pila charger with it - haven't heard a bad thing about them.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 3,793 Mod ✭✭✭✭eeloe


    I'm gonna hold out till either an Irish vendor has them in stock, or maybe vapefest....i'm 99%sure a vendor will have em there :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    Got the ProVari today.

    I was using a V3 Vmax up until today, it's a good device (lacking in finesse) a couple of the folks at the ECF are convinced that the Vmax is actually a better device. After the first few pulls on the ProVari I can honestly say that they are completely talking out of their asses.

    This thing is amazing, build quality, weight, threads, everything is spot on.

    +1. I've been using it over a week now and I haven't hardly left it down since I got it. I prefer it to the Throathit mod overall but the Throathit mod still has its place with the battery life and packs almost as good a punch as the Provari.

    Its also very handy to be able to check exactly what voltage the battery is running at and being able to check ohms resistance so easily with the Provari as well.

    I'm very impressed with the consistency of the vape with the provari. Even when the batteries drop down to about 3.5 or 3.4 volts it still does exactly what it should do.

    The paint finish, build quality, threading, etc are excellent as well, just oozes quality, the best I've seen in any device. I've knocked it over a few times and dropped it and there isn't even a tiny scratch on the paintwork so I'm guessing it will look fairly new for a long time to come.

    I like it so much I got another 2 x AW IMR 18650's so now I have 4 x batteries for it and am only going to use the throathit when I really need to for extended breaks or something. I might even get another Provari in black as a backup and sell the throathit :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    Got two 18490's and an 18650 with mine but I'm going to get another couple of 18650's from Bargain Vapour.
    Did you you see the Prive tanks that Kir Fanis is making for the ProVari?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 984 ✭✭✭newmark


    Looks good with the Silver Provari as well :)

    That's a pretty satanic post count you have there by the way.

    VapistVaporizers only has a couple of Green LED mini's in stock, works out @ €244 including the extension cap for the 18490 battery....god damn it...i want it, and i want it now, but i'm trying to show some self control....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 813 ✭✭✭mrplop


    The green led is getting really hard to get.

    The place where my ProVari came from (Hisvape) has the best deal if you're into chargers - the Pila on it's own is €50 in most stores.
    Got the ProVari, 2x AW 18490's, 1x AW 18650(2000MAH) extension cap, Provape 510 to ego adapter, Smok DCT with 2.5ohm carto/drip tip and a Pila IBC charger. Free courier post (3 days from Germany) for €264.

    Worked out €11 cheaper than it would have cost to buy all the parts seperately from Provape in the US.

    I know it's a sh!tload of money for what amounts to a battery holder but I swear it's absolutely worth it, wish I done it sooner in fact.
    I would have saved a fortune instead of buying a load of half assed,unreliable PV's and mods.

    I'm either really jealous, or I think ye're all the Apple-fanboys of the vaping world.

    How can I tell?

    I'm an Apple fan boy anyway, so in a couple of weeks I'll be Vaping my provari, with a tank full of Bobas bounty, sitting infront of my iMac! :-)
