wow... a provari copy made by smoktech?

Just came across this. It even uses the provari name in the title? I hope provape has patents. This Chinese knock off seems pretty sad.

Looks very similar but the button and display are on the same side. Didn't take them long.

Couldn't see the price without logging in.

It seems to be taking two VV ideas - stacked batteries like the Buzz Pro combined with the appearance and display of the Provari - and the invasion begins...

There was a thread about this in the General discussion section a while back, this is called the VV Bolt I think, it looks so.......so......ugh.....

[basementcat]

Smoktech is requesting this be sold for $128 and no less. So rediculous. Obviously a shameful copy.

Oh and its gonna be huge, 2 stacked 18350s

It will probably settle down to around $90 after the first month or so, and the excitement will probably approach that of the LavaTube. The QC level will be interesting to watch - good looking specs but cheap execution seems to be the rule. How many will one go through in say two years?

I'm surprised there isn't a Darwin knockoff yet

For the price point of the knock off, you might as well get a Provari and save the headaches, for $30 more you get a ONE year warranty not only a 3 month warranty, high quality Stainless, quality electronics, no stacked batts AND the very best part......Provapes customer service.

A tube mod w/ stacked batts and no vents ... Rolygate isn't going to like this ... non-compliant w/ ECF guidelines
