    christov11 reacted to Proetus in Provari 3   
    Sadly my Provari has taken a back seat to my Reo and DNA30's at this time. Its version 1 styled but upgraded to v2 so it will never leave the vape house However, its a solid device worthy of the praise and served me well for over a year with nary an issue. I just sent my mini on to Tam so she can give it the use it deserves.

    Just got my Provari v2 today. Gotta say I'm in love with the thing even though it's heavier than my MVP2.

    Ive owned my Provari since they first came out. Never had any issues and its built to last. I haven't heard what the new Provari offers, but Im sure it will be a great device.

    christov11 reacted to bcartervol98 in Newer to the vape scene, would like some advice   
    I paid $27 for my 8 genuine Spinner 2s both here and at my other site I order from and never paid more than $16- $18 for any tank (My favorites were $11,99). They are about all I use, Vision Spinners. I have been smoke free for almost a year and a half and have tried everything there is (almost) that is not rebuildable (that you have to rebuild like RDAs and RBAs) and am convinced there is not a better battery on the market. My 1300mah Spinners I bought close to a year and a half ago became my beach-boat-lake batteries after I got my Spinner 2s and have been wet....dropped in saltwater...hell one was even buried because it took me about 15 minutes to find it in the surf and the first one dies last night...the others are all going strong.

    I am 100% convinced there is not a better Ego style battery out there when these have lasted so long. My wife even stuck here Spinner 2 with KPT 2 on top into a ceiling fan last weekend sending it hurling about 50 feet to the back of the boat and it never missed a beat.

    It all depends on what you want and it boils down to one thing. I have figured out there are two distinct approaches and they break down to this imo:

    1. Simplicity: Plug and play, inexpensive coils, buy enough stuff to last a while and all you have to buy are coils and liquid for a VERY long time. This is for the vaper that has a primary motivation to quit smoking and save money (Me in a nutshell). It costs me about $80 a month for my wife and I combined to vape.

    2. Complex: Rebuildables, APVs, Mods, and the latest greatest BDVC or BDC or BVC whatever is hot at the time. This is the hobbyist with an extensive collection that enjoys building their own coils and usually have a collection. The complex vaper is not concerned about the money saving aspect and treats it like a hobby more than simply a way to quit smoking and save money.


    Everyone just has to decide what they want for themselves, there is plenty of room in the Vape Lounge for all of us lol.

    I think this one is for 18000 series devices (186530,18350 and 18500). I didn't follow the order process thru so I don't know if 26650 is an option. Good luck!

    If you don't mind box mods, you might consider picking up an iTaste MVP. They are a vv/vw device with a monstrous battery life and can be found for $40 or less on sale. It's a good mod for experimenting with variable wattage to find your happy place. Good travel device too.
    Hope that helps! Keep calm and vape on!

    I change coils when they start to taste funky or become hard to draw (sign the wick is gunked-up). I've not had a coil pop or fry, but did have one short-out on the first firing... no biggie though

    Cleaning the contacts on the battery when you swap tanks is always a good thing, just to keep juice drops at a minimum. Juice leaking into the battery via the contact pin is a sure way to have a battery fail. Cleaning the bottom of the tank/coil area is a good habit too. Once you fill the tank, I like to give a little puff or two down the drip-tip of my EVODs or KPT3-minis to dislodge anything in the tube (shoots out the bottom onto a napkin). My larger tanks have AeroBases, so no danger of drips from the coil finding their way to the battery. I never bother wiping down the coil-head or stem when filling the tank.

    Personally I think Vapers Tongue is sort of mythical a lot like I believe steeping to be. I mean, people say you have to rotate flavors but my wife has vaped one flavor for almost the entire time she has vaped and other than the first couple months so have I. We both quit cigarettes and started vaping the same day, 4-23-2013. For over a year I have vaped Endless Summer from Fuzion 18mg and she has vaped Peppermint from ECBlends in 24mg since her 3rd or 4th week in. Both taste the same from then till now.

    I notice you are about 2 months in or a little over. I have a theory that "Vapers Tongue" is simply your taste-buds growing back and functioning correctly so you are actually tasting what you are vaping. There are literally dozens of foods I loved when I smoked that I cannot stand now and even more that I couldn't stand before that I like now. The transformation of smell and taste is so huge it is staggering. I LOVED some flavors when I started that I cannot even stand the smell of now but have vaped the same thing for at least a year if not a little over that with no change in taste or satisfaction.

    With that said, it took a couple months for me to find the flavor that my new and improved taste-buds liked. Once I did it made all the difference in the world.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Ordered them from Vape Playground. I've never ordered from them before, but a couple others said they were good to deal with and fast shipping... so... we'll see how it goes.

    I'd been dying to get a Copper Penny... and the design on the Windrose was just too stunning to pass up (as well as magnetic switch and separate tubes). If I like the Brass one, I may order a stainless too...
