All,
I have been smoking analogs (Newport Light) for 10+ years and first explored the world of vaping by buying a LOGIC ecig from a gas station. i loved the concept, and it worked for a day, but i hated how short lasting it was, as well as the inconsistency of the vapor production. since then, i tried v2, as well as halo g6 as well. I was never able to vape for more than 2 days, and always returned back to analog cigarettes. I almost gave up when I came across a friend who I haven't seen in a long time using a Provari. He offered me a drag and I was surprised at how much better it was compared to the other ecigs I have tried.
I am pleased to announce that my Provari Mini v2 Satin Silver with Blue LED has arrived. I ordered it with the Pila 4 Stage Battery Charger, a Metal ProTip, three 18490 Batteries, an atomizer adapter (kr808d1), and battery extension cap for $285. A huge investment, maybe...but I figured it will save my life in the long run compared to continuing to smoke analogs.
I received the Provari today, and immediately used the battery charger. 30 minutes later and it turned green and was ready for use. I immediately used the kr808d1 atomizer adapter and attached a halo g6 (Menthol Ice) cartomizer and set the VV to 4.5. I took 5-6 puffs and received a burnt feeling throat hit. Surely this couldn't be what other members were praising when they made the switch to Provari. I tried lowering the VV all the way down to 3.3 but by then I couldn't get any vapor production at all.
This was when I realized that my cartomizer was burnt. I immediately loaded up another halo g6 cartomizer and this time started at 3.3VV and moved all the way up to 3.7. At this level, I achieved a warm throat hit with tons of vapor production. It feels like smoking a real cigarette (or as real as it can get). The feeling completely differed from smoking the halo g6 cartomizer with the halo g6 starter kit!! Like others have stated, I am REALLY surprised at how great this is, and can see myself finally quitting analogs once and for all. Like others have also stated about the Provari, I wish I just started with this sooner instead of the other kits!!
Now I had a couple of questions for some of the seasoned veterans out there.
1. How high can I crank the VV on the Provari using Halo g6 cartomizers without burning them? I am up to 3.7VV, but was wondering how high other users have been cranking up the voltage to.
2. What is the next logical step from here? I can either continue to buy pre-filled halo g6 cartomizers, or fill them with liquid myself. OR i can buy what many seem to enjoy (Boge Cartridges) and try filling them with halo juice. I have also heard many stating that the ViVi Nova tank is a godsend. What do you guys recommend? I am planning on putting in an order tonight if I can get a response!
3. What liquids do folks recommend? As a former Newport Light smoker, I really think the Menthol Ice flavor from Halo is actually VERY good and works so far...it didn't with the halo g6 battery, but with the Provari - it truly brings out the throat hit, vapor, and flavor. Once again...in serious shock at the difference!
4. Anything else I can do with the Provari that other members have found useful??
I almost feel GUILTY that I am moving off analog cigarettes, but enjoying much of what cigarettes had to offer me with the Provari. I almost feel inclined to do more research to see if e-cigarettes are harmful to your health versus analogs. I've read some articles on this forum, but wanted to do some more due diligence. Once again, any facts or articles that you can link me to would be greatly appreciated.
Once again. Seriously happy about finding out about the Provari. It is simply worth the cost. Any help from you guys would be GREATLY appreciated. I am happy to say that I am officially done with analogs.
