Buying a provari definitely changed me. I started looking more at quality. At the time I bought a Provari, I had 2 broken lavatubes, and a box mod I had built myself. With the Provari, I saw there was quality in this industry, and have been getting my hands on the best quality I could find. Atomizers and batteries that are designed to work exactly as stated, and could be dropped without breaking. Now I will never vape a clearomizer, cartomizer, or any chinese made piece of crap again.
