Honestly, there are tons of mods now that that are as good or much better than the Provari for a fraction of the price. The only reason to buy one now is if you want one mod with a lifetime warranty that never gets any better and you'll never want anything else. I'll get flamed for this but hey ho. A lifetime warranty I do not think so, 12 months warranty quote from ProvapeI thought that was the big selling point? That they last forever? |

a took a pop at one wich i liked alot but for me it was the battery life that done it, was going through 3 18350s a day same batterys same atty in a mech and the 3 would last me two days, but they are still great mods  Doesn't it take 18650's as well though? One of those lasts me all day in a Vamo V5 should be the same for the Provari I would have thought. |

And if they do you can put another 100 quid on the price I checked it out earlier today and I can buy a brand new one when we move to America next month for the same price as the second hand ones here. If they do up the price by silly money I probably won't bother, but even if I do, I'll still be doing better buying new from over there than second hand here.

There was one on UKV earlier today too. I'm not sure I even want one. Prefer watts, so will hang tight and see if they ever come up with it. And if they do you can put another 100 quid on the price |

This is my Protank history. April 2013, put my name down for pre-order PT no.1 Got it - disappointed. Got a so-called "airflow controller" in the summer.... didn't do a thing. Actually did nothing....it was supposed to swivel of something, but mine rotated 120 degrees. Disappointed. Summer 2013 - filled my life with mini Protanks no.1 LOVED it! Sometime, picked up a PT2. Disappointed. Barely better than the first, and another leak monster. - - Last week, for some bizarre reasons, I bought another PT2, this time with a Kanger airflow base. It's really rather good, especially with "special" heads. Now - there's this? I'm already about a year behind..... I can't keep up.  I have been trying to keep up and following most developments and I'm still confused! I use mostly Mini Protank 2's (I love them) and I got a Mini Protank 3 recently which is excellent too. I hated Protank 1 and 2 they gurgled and leaked and were generally just really crap so I skipped the Protank 3 and also the Aerotank because I decided Kanger's bigger tanks were kind of naff. The Aerotank is quite good apparently but not as good as the Nautilus. The Aerotank Mega is supposedly better than the Nautilus. It's basically a huge Aerotank with better airflow and new heads. The Aerotank Mini is the one I'm interested in now but it's far too expensive in the UK (£19 for what's basically a mini protank er... just no) so I'm hoping FT get them in. Anyway, just saying it's impossible to keep up even if you are keeping an eye on everything that's going on. It seems only yesterday I got the MP3 now there's the aerotank mini and I didn't want an Aerotank Mega because it's too big but that's okay because.. now there's the bloody Aerotank V2 which is bigger than the mini but smaller than the mega. Kanger seem to be shipping out a new tank every week lol. |

I would stay away from the LUC, I had one and had to send it back as it overcharged and I not the only one. Useful info, cheers. I rushed into the charger and battery thing because I bought some VW batteries from FT that were DOA. I'm fine with the i2 I only have to charge one battery a day I can live with that That's exactly what happened to me. I got a couple of Ego V3's and a Twist one broke the other was DOA all came from FT and I just couldn't be bothered to go through all the hassle of sending them back to be replaced knowing the replacements might be DOA too. Like you I thought sod it I'll get something more solid and ended up with the Vamo V5 and the i2. I'm very happy with both |

I recently got an i2 having just switched to my first mod the incredibly advanced Vamo V5 I only bought two 18650 batteries and I charge one of them once a day even with dual coils at low resistance I am fine all day. I know it seems a long wait but it's a great charger but if you need something that works faster I've read the efest Luc charges in an hour or two and it's not much more expensive I just didn't do enough research before I switched to a battery setup.

I just thought I'd add for the benefit of anyone looking for good liquids at a good price that Ltecigs have a huge range and some of it is really good. There are a lot of customer reviews on there so you can get a feel for what went down well. There's an AAEC discount code too so 10ml comes out about £2 which isn't far off JJ prices and it's even cheaper if you buy their 30mls. Liquids I bought there that I really like, tobacco types: Desert Ship, 3 Fives and Old Havana. I also like their 2 custards, Basil's Custard and I think the other is Egg Custard. They are cheap enough you can experiment randomly with any flavours that take your fancy and their range is massive. Do you have this code please? Sorry I thought there was an AAEC specific code but I can't find one. LT10 or POTV10 will give a 10% discount. You might need to be signed in for it to work but making an account is a good idea it's faster for future purchases. |

jackcustard what sort of stuff do you like? I think I still have some joose juice bits and pieces in a box which I will never use. I have a lot of tobacco flavours I got from FT as well. I was probably a bit harsh on JJ some of their stuff is fine it served me well when I first started but I'm used to other stuff now which I consider to be a lot better. Anyway if you want I'll pop some JJ stuff in the post for you I'm never going to use it. PM me an address and I'll get it off to you

Looking for the best cheap juice is a mugs game IMO. You get what you pay for (or don't pay for). Joose Juice is in my experience flavour-free you get a tiny hint of what the flavour is supposed to be and no, steeping doesn't help.
All the other cheapo juices are the same. I'd rather pay 4 quid for 10mls of something fantastic from Steamgunk, Vapemunki etc than try to convince myself I got a real bargain from some vendor making flavourless but cheap juice.
You may not agree with me now but you will once you've got bored of cheap but crap juices and want something that tastes remotely like what it's advertised to taste like.

I've never actually progressed past what most people might call the intermediate vaping stage. The closest I've got to a mod is the Vamo V5 I got recently which is great.
On top of that I use mini protank 2 and 3. I'm currently waiting for the aerotank mega and mini to show up on FT. £19 for the aero mini just isn't going to happen it would cost me nearly £80 to upgrade the small tanks.
I don't recoil or rewick or re-anything I just put new heads in when the old ones get a bit rough so faff free all the way here. Great news for all new vapers that there's such excellent easy to use gear around now.

General opinion seems to be the Nautilus is better than the Aerotank. Now it seems the Aerotank Mega is better than the Nautilus. Better design, upgraded coils and better airflow. If you're interested in Aerotank there's no reason at all not to get the mega it's just 'better'.
Battery wise if you don't like the look of the MVP and you hinted earlier you're unsure there's a good chance it's not for you. I'd suggest Vamo or Smoktech SID. The SVD I've never seen but apparently it's very big.
