I agree. The 2.5 is old technology with a very small market. It SHOULD be discontinued. Especially when a Classic can be had for $50 and a P3 for $80.I don't find the phasing out of the 2.5 terribly sad -- I like that tons of people now own ProVi's that couldn't or wouldn't get one or more before the extreme sales. Afterall, it was announced that it was being discontinued well over a year ago.
It's also quite nice that many of have been able to get plenty of spares. ProVape is taking care of it's vapers for the long haul.
It seems to me that it's the apparent selling out of the other ProVape great products that instills the gloom. I suggest the deeming has a lot to do with ProVape's marketing changes, whatever their end result may be.
I do know that as long as I vape, I will be vaping a ProVi of one name or another!
My personal favorites -- my Ti's (mini2.5's & P3) and my Radii.
I have 6 or 7, love them and glad I bought them.
