I have the itaste v2 (magnets...) and find the button a bit iffy it doesn't fire well all the time, and won't fire at all if the led screen is lit - i.e. if you have changed the voltage. It does look the business tho lol. Overall... it doesn't get much use anymore...

Provari is great, but I would try vv in a twist or something first to see how you like it - it's a big investment! Also, again the classies are your friend when looking out for provari bargains; they're nigh indestructible so second-hand isn't a big downside

Hi and welcome Niamh!

I think the poll (on here?) a wee while back showed that a lot of vapers were former rollie smokers - I have a feeling that rollers are more used to the ritual of smoking, and so the rituals of vaping (filling cartos, cleaning gear, having a 'kit') help to fill some of the habits that you have around smoking. I know it helps me when I'm messing with my gear, because I'm so used to spending time rolling up!

For me, it was hard to treat an ecig like a ciggie - held in two fingers - because of the weight, even of the cigalikes, but once you get used to holding the barrel of the ecig in your hand it feels a lot more comfortable.

The SDKeyring is a really small battery which still packs a bit of a punch, and is more the length you'd associate with a rollie - clicky

Sooner than you think you'll probably want the convenience of a bigger battery, but right at first you may just want something that feels familiar and is easy to carry around. Though a lot of us start with the Riva kit - clicky!
If you can get to a shop where you can try something out, that's the best way to find out what's most comfortable.

Jason at VapeEscape has a cigalike kit for £22 with 5 cartos and two batteries - clicky

Skycig have a new discount code for Oct DEFA which brings the price down to £20 if you want to try their version - clicky - but even if you do, it's worth getting some cartos and juice as their flavours are quite chemical tasting I found. The only advantage this has over the 510 kit is the PCC (charging case).

The Grizwald's range at VE has some great flavours, and you can get a pick n mix pack of 5 to try some out for about £13.

Enjoy the adventure of finding out what suits you best! Good luck!

Picked up provari from post office after missing delivery yesterday, waiting battery went straight in and vivi got transferred from the vtube.... aaaaaaand vape! Mmmmmm excellent

Love the atomiser resistance checker - informed me my 2.4ohm vivi head was 2.8-2.9! So much easier than a multimeter (which I struggled with!) although I do wonder what the variance is?

Anyway, it is as good as advertised, feels really comfortable to hold, and smaller than I expected - I think I'd find the mini too small. Looks just the thing with a vivi on it, and I've got a bunch of them so will have to resist the urge for a penelope to complete it...

Many thanks to blade for a hassle-free sale, really pleased with my provari! And thanks to the forum for all the provari cheerleading which let me get past the cost to try this excellent mod!

If you're just looking for something to charge egos with - portable battery pack - these sort of things are really handy for all your usb devices..

Edit... tho I realise that this is similar to the original posted link, except without the 510 connector! Guess it depends on the cost/value of the modded version... At least it's got a decent charge - 6600mah, that should keep you going for a while!

Hi Jack,
That looks like a chrome or stainless steel LT, which means it's one of the newer versions - I've got a mini SS vtube myself, looks very similar.
I use a DCT plinth (type B) - www.vapeescape.co.uk/dct-plinths~324 with a vivi and find the draw to be just right, so you could try that? I think I'd find it too airy with an ego connector on top but YMMV... The plinths can also be used with your twist.
If you've been using the vivis on your twist without a plinth, you may be used to quite an airy draw, you could try vaping for a while with the tighter draw, you may get used to it.

I only use my twists for out and about now - the vtube is my at-home vape... until my provari arrives I find it more satisfying to have that weight in my hand and the button is much more comfortable!

Got my first DC Tank (tanks plural - stocked up with spares and cartos...), filled carto and tank and put on a mod. Vaped ok, but certainly no better than a vivi. Tried to get it off the mod and pulled the tank off the carto - juice all over my desk >
I am likely to be getting rid of my DCT stuff somehow as it just seems too much hassle. Am I missing something or is this just legacy equipment now there are visions and vivis widely available?

Aye, the great wet north!

A few weeks ago, I said, "I'll stick to egos for a while, make sure this vaping thing sticks" then I got a vtube, now I'm getting a provari, I really shouldn't make these promises :-[
