Was worried as not familiar with a lot of dealers, have heard of some with delays, but WORLDofVAPE has it shipped all ready and on the way :)

They seem to be pretty reputable, I'll probably be buying replacement things in the future.

Lucky. My order is still "awaiting fulfillment" from viper vape.. Also, There is a fancy device available tomorrow at noon that I have waiting on my wish list from provape. The trigger shall be pulled.
Figured I'd just get my stuff now rather than buy a bunch of stuff over time and spend more money. Buy once, cry once. That's how I see it. Not going back to dipping so I will make sure this works for me.

There is one local place near me...about 20 minutes or so. But their juices aren't good and they only have generic things. I wish there were more. I believe there is also one in Jersey but that's too far.

You also want to look at retailmenot for coupons based on which site you order from. I've found some nice discounts which help if you are making big purchases.

Nice! They have the 2.0 version discounted, but I have a raging hardon for another item. Lots of good discounts for juices etc that i'll check out.

I heard you can quit smoking by not buying anymore cigarettes nor taking them out of the pack and lighting them than putting them up to your mouth and voluntarily inhaling.

:p

Ive been off tobacco about 4 mos now...here's how my progression has gone:

eVod VV + eVod and Kanger T3S tanks---> eVic + Kanger T3S and Nautilus tanks ---> ProVari Mini + Russian 91% and Nautilus tanks.

I think Im pretty set now. Im not one who wants to collect a dozen different devices, and Im not a cloud chaser so my setup works perfectly for me. I go through about 4-6ml of juice per day, rotating between 3 or 4 different juices.

The provari is pretty expensive but I haven't found a need to replace my evic yet.

Sounds like you are all set. I'm going straight to the Provari. I don't want to spend the money on it, but if I don't, i'll go through device after device until I end up with one, so screw it. Ego twist to Provari, lol.
Also, I feel like a light weight. I've gone through .40ml of juice in the last 10 hours (24mg). Juice goes slow with less voltage. NICE.

I'm hoping the Evic Supreme will be up there butting heads with the ProVari, some of the reviews I've seen hinted at it.

I figured if I'm going to go there why piss around myself.

Your evic will be fine. It has a lot of features. The evic won't make your juices taste better but it will allow you to vape to the maximum potential assuming you have good tanks and atomizers which in turn will make the juices you get taste good when you vape. Buy a set of decent tanks, I prefer bottom coils, and then all you replace are the coil heads which are cheap.

Yeah, bought a nautilus with it for starters, I'm sure I'll try more out in the future.

Even some of the Vapor Zone ones at the mall looked pretty nice here, I'll be playing around I'm sure.

Yea I only buy two types of tanks so I don't have to have remember what type of coils they have. My ego cc uses just atomizers and one time I bought type b instead of type a and that was a horrible mistake. Type b is for the older ego c tanks.

But I also have a protank 2 and ordered a protank 2 mini since the regular protank 2 is quite airy.

Went to the local Vape store. Didn't know it was there till today.
Met a nice young lady that works there and got a WOODY!















A MVP 2.0 Energy "OAK"
Also picked up a bottle of Grape and a bottle of Watermellon.
I tried about 10 flavors and settled on those 2.



Rest of the story:
I recieved the V2-EX yesterday at about 4 PM. I only had enough tobacco to roll 2 cigs. Started vaping on the ecig and the 24 mg had enough nic. but was having problems getting a good lung fill. Started getting a headache too much nic. Lit the last analog at 8 PM. Nothing but ecig till bedtime (01:00).

Woke this morning (06:30) hit the ecig and knew I was not going to be able to cold turkey the analogs with just the ecig. Looked for a local store and found it. Was looking for a Mini 134 but no joy. The lady let me try about 5 different Mods. When I hit the MVP I liked it. Tried a couple more but went back and picked up the "oak" club.

Got 6 mg liquid just wanted something light to replace the lung fill. Using the V2 carts with the 24 mg for the nic. I think for me the nic cravings will pass and then I'll just be getting 6 mg from the liquid.

I do like the V2 EX carts though. They last a long time and you can see how much is left. Don't care for the automatic battery though. I like the button type better. I can push the button and get vape from the start instead of having to inhale to turn the battery on.

What is dipping from the OP?...anyway, i have been Vaping for 5 mths now and have no desire to smoke ciggies again!.....getting nicotine juice here in NZ is a hassle and I have to order from Oz, but other than that, been looking at zero nicotine juice for a spare tank just for a change of puff...You can get some awesome flavours out there!

The Evic looks like a sick rig. Can't go wrong there i'm sure.


Also, that thing is disgusting and looks really nice.

Dipping is when you use moist snuff tobacco in your lip. Google dipping. My favorite was Grizzly Wintergreen and the nicotine was so strong I couldn't handle it anymore. I would put a lip in and feel like I couldn't breathe due to artery contraction I assume. I felt like it was just killing me. Vaping, even with 24mg and chain vaping, doesn't overload me with nic like a god damn lip did.
I'm looking at my desk right now and it looks beautiful, and that's because its empty. Not a spit can in sight for days.

I'm pulling the trigger on this bad boy right here and calling it DONE.

moonbogg, not that it will affect the performance of the current Provari models but a new PV is due to be released from Provape soon? Just an FYI in case it makes a difference in your decision.

I heard that rumor and it bugs the hell out of me not knowing when. Any idea when? I assume it could be end of the year, early or mid next year or who knows. The V2.5 has been around for quite a while I think and I know everyone is dying for a VW version.

Been hearing any day now for a month or more. Hard to tell.

Yea I hate when new models come out. I usually buy something through extensive research and then just focus on using it. But the cool thing with provari is you can use it to test liquids. I assume you can also do that with the evic if you have a drip tip. My mini tank 2 comes with one so I'll try it when it gets here.

I wonder if they will build a considerable stockpile before they release the P3 or will there be a mad rush to get in on the first few shipments.

On the plus side it is a good time to be in the market for a used Provari as many are selling off there backup units in preparation for the new model.

I'm so confused now. I might grab it anyway and sell it later if I want the new model. I have a feeling the new model will have features that I will have no use for, like 25+ watts, sub ohm capabilities, Variable watts (same as VV IMO) etc. I think it will cater to the more advanced, hard core vapers using the DNA chips and the like.
Features I would like if it had them are EGO threading and ability to take more small tank designs without need for adapters and stuff like that. general compatibility. A better LCD has been on people's list from what I've read. So we'll see, also depends on cost VS my needs.
The MOST important thing above all else though is how COOL will it look? :cool: That should force my hand more than anything else.
