Penelope haven't got a provari for her yet, but I think that will be vaping Nirvana, Tim says so anyway If money was no object I would love to have a GGTS too, oh and Proteus when it's released

I went direct from twist to provari, saved all the issues with buying shinies and wasting money, provari with vivi nova or v3 clearos for me is it, dont need anything else, apart from replacement juice batteries and vivi/v3's as and when they need replacing it's well worth the layout.

Twist & Viva Nova for the cheaper option or Provari with a Viva for more pricey option . Penelope would be my next step at the present time but by the time I've saved and or found one, they may have invented something better.

So general consensus is a provari, which I was already looking at. But a GGTS which does look good!
I only really like boge cartomisers, I do not like the draw on v2 clearo's from Riva kit, how do the penelope's / odyseuss's compair? And how hard is it to get replacement parts for them as they seem pretty hard to buy in the first place!!
I did see a guy with a provari at a charity fishing event I went to the other weekend. It was a black one but the black stuff had started to wear out, so with Provari's what finish is best? I dont mind about scrathes but dont want the finish actually rubbing off eventually!

Penelope is in another league compared to cartomisers/clearomisers. Hard to describe how, someone else may be able to, for me I just know its the best thing I've vaped on. I would imagine Odysseus is the same.
The spare parts are as difficult to get as the items themselves, probably more so actually because Penelope's/Ody's do come up for sale or trade on classifieds if you don't mind paying extra.
I suppose in theory the Vape from a provari shouldn't be any better than a twist or a lava tube, they are just batteries/battery holders after all. It's what you put on top of it. I think provaris are supposed to be better because there is a consistency, you set it where you want it and it maintains it. But there's no reason you couldn't do exactly the same with a twist, if you had spares and did some faffing.
I think it's the convienience of the provari and it's sturdy craftsmanship is what appeals to people

Chill do you have any links to what you have?
Ellen that is what I was worried about, if something breaks then it would suck if I couldnt get any replacement parts for a while!

To be fair though Rich, there isn't anything to break on a Penelope, it's all stainless steel except for the ceramic and I think you could probably get hold of a spare one of those if you really needed to. Its not likely to break unless you attack it with a screwdriver like I did

Penelope and Provari is the best set up Both are very durable and hardwearing, they will last almost forver Like ellen I cant describe the vape using a Penelope, other than its a "hold on to your hat" type of vape;) Loads of vapour and you do get a better taste from your juices! The Provari............ well its simply the best device, all you have to do is select your voltage and away you go, the volts never drops even when the battery is running down, its a very consistent vape thoughout

Penelope + Provari quite simple = a consistent "know what you will get when you pick it up" and the Penelope WILL give you the best flavour and the ability to set it up how you like to vape (I like loads of vape and a bit airy, others may like a tighter draw, up to you). So, at the moment, the best setup is this
