OK so here goes.

What I ordered: ProVari V2.5 Black/Red hybrid starter kit. came with (obviously) 1 charger, 2-18490 batts, Kanger Pro Tank II. 510/ego adapter.

What I expected: A quality constructed well built mod that provided longer batt life, more consistent vapor and flavor than my current set up with no noticeable voltage drop. A mod that wasn't so tricked out with bells and whistles that it would take forever to set up and figure out. A mod I could use with the ego and mini nova Aspire BDC clearo's/tanks I already have. A mod that I would be proud to show off and use. A mod that would satisfy me fully.

What I got: A quality constructed well built mod that provided longer batt life, more consistent vapor and flavor than my current set up with no noticeable voltage drop.

A mod that I would be proud to show off and use. A mod that would satisfy me fully.

It did take a little fiddling but I got the Pro tank sorted out and it is working flawlessly.

I will admit that I am vain enough to say I do not like how the ego clearos look on the ProVari with the adapter. The pro tank and mini nova's look great. I also will admit I was a little worried about the red/black but I absolutely love it now that I have it.

I ordered a couple Phoenix Raven cargo tanks which so far have only given a burnt taste... who knows what I'm doing wrong there.

I have regular Smok pre punched Cartos and an IBTanked XL 19mm ordered waiting for them to arrive.

After getting the ProVari , holding it, using it... I truly get it now. Wish I had done this a long time back.

First off congrats on the new Provari!! I love the black to red - its gorgeous!!!

I can help on this issue. I use these sometimes - so apparently some ( a lot ) of them are machined crappy and if you look at it you probably will see metal in the little slots as opposed to wick. Out of 5 I probably get 2 that are right. (Why I only use them occasionally) If you have other carto replacements for it - look at them and find one thats lined up with wick showing squarely in the little slot. When you have one thats lined up - these things are just amazing, but if they arent lined up burnt hits magoo- I just trash em I havent been able to fix one yet. Maybe someone who has will come along and offer more guidance there.

Its stuff like this that is making me sell my DSLR camera to buy a Provari for my second setup :) If I'm gonna do it I wanna do it right :)
