Provari Time?

[azzie]

..so I had 4 batteries on charge last night and vaping on a 5th, I gave some more thought about getting the holygrail provari (again).

Ive calculated that even with expenses so far with vaping Ive made a saving enough to buy 3 provaris (coming from a 40 cig a day habit), so thats justification enough for me to treat myself.

Some quick questions that you good folks could help me with:

What is the best finish (by the looks of thing the classic satin silver seems most durable)?

How long would a AW 1100mah battery last?

Battery life is important and it looks like only 3 vendors in the UK sell the full sized V2, - vapists/enjuice/ecigwiz

A body + 2 Aw 18490s and an adapter ins aroun £185, would there be any saving to import directly from provape?

Importing means you run the risk of being charged import duty, VAT & carrier charges, roughly a third of the purchase price & despatch cost. Factor this in when you compare costs. You may be lucky & come in under the radar

I've got the bottom ext to my Provari which means I can use an AW 18650 Battery. I'm happy with my chrome finish.

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

I have the shiney finish on my V1 and it looks ok but there are loads of tiny scratches on it that show up in certain lights and its a finger print magnet, not that it bothers me

And I have the black in the mini, only had it about 6weeks(ish) no marks yet

Cant say how the satin is.

Battery life will depend on usage, on a mini, Perpy gets through quite a few 18350 batteries where as I use two a day. The 18650 battery on my V1 last all day and most of the next day for me.

The official provape site are selling the satin silver mini or full size for $159 dollars. That's £100, even with £30 or so import charges, that still makes it cheaper than all the UK sites, plus the advantage (IMO) of buying it direct. I've been tempted, just a little short on pennies right now

You forgot shipping from the states = $39-50

Just to give you a heads up, Ive had a provari in satin silver for three months , no scratches so far , Battery wise an 18490 lasts me while at work.

[menthol]

That don't sound right, let me correct that . I take it to work on a fully charged battery and that does me.

I didn't, I just didn't mention it, still works out cheaper than the current UK prices

I don't know how long it will take to get one though as there will be a wait in customs then the delivery company will take a little time to process it and bill you before you can take delivery. You may have to wait a couple of weeks to get it in your mits after it has been despatched.

[azzie]

I`d rather get it from the UK for the support, just incase of any problems. Im not sure how much a saving of £20-30 works out in the hassle of waiting for one from the US.

Looks like only ecigwiz have them in stock...all others sold out. Decisions

Edit: Ive clicked the buy button, looks like I`ll have one on Tuesday. Yippee!
Does look like theyre flying off the shelves, some vendors sold out when they had stock a couple of days ago.

As long as you got the satin black with blue led

Black & blue? ...I spent a long time deliberating colours and in the end went for the vanilla silver and red.

...maybe I`ll save for a coloured mini sometime in the future if Provape releases some more 'manly' colours

[Perpetua]

Great choice Azzie . . . all the finishes are lovely to my eye.

Enjoy.

[FirinBlanks]

Which one did you go for, mini or standard?

I'm seriously thinking of what one to get and if I'm honest can't work out the differences apart from size.

I reckon I should get the mini 'cos I'm still a bit self conscious with huge mods although I'm sure someone here can convince me either way.

Finally the discount voucher for e-cig wizard on this site has expired, did you find an active one?
