All joking aside I was hardcore on the light as well. The 4 is pretty kicka##
I would love to see the light chimney and base with the same juice channels

I hear ya, Jethead. I think I've become immune to this kind of trolling over the years and that now lets me enjoy the silliness when I feel like reading it.
The nice thing in this thread is there has been so much sensible response that ProVape ends up looking pretty good. They don't make anything that would be good for me, but it's nice to see them getting positive publicity around here
In a recent thread like this, I was lumped in with and labeled a Provari basher..... Even though I repeatedly pointed out their good aspects, and repeatedly mentioned I would love a P3 if they made only a couple of changes (one of which has been made..... Just waiting on the other
). Not going to save up for as long as it would take me (a looooong time ) for a device that doesn't suit my needs perfectly. I still wish they would make a p3 that does more wattage.... How about a provari 40 watt with temp. control? I could get with that
Where i work there are 9 vapers. 4 of them use box mods, one uses a Provari (me) and 4 use little eGo batts with ce4 type clearos.
The box mod users are all using isticks, 3 use 30 watt and 1 uses a 50 watt. All of them have toppers that will accommodate a whooping 8-10watts (iclear 30's et al).
Where i drink there are 12 vapers (known to me). 1 uses a mech, 1 uses a Provari (again me) and the rest use eGo type devices with ce4 type clearos.
When i walk down the street and actively look out for vapers i see eGo type batts.....
That is my reality.
How can anyone say that the Provari is obsolete when for most of the vapers i see or know it is the most dependable device available for the type of vaping they do.

But that stupid menu and limited to a button top battery! All else aside, they really could have played their cards better. Should have teamed up with Mark Bugs!
The "stupid menu" allows a lot of customization as to how the Provari operates. I rate that as a huge plus.
The "limited to a button top battery" is no longer true with the P3. The P3 allows you to use flat top and button top batteries.
I'm just glad that one button is a highly evolved button.
Wow, over a year after I joined here (and quit smoking) and the boring discussions about the Provari still goes on...
Next up: Five Pawns vs. Dekang, and why your juice sucks. 
If anyone needs me, I'll be over at THR trying to stir up another AR vs. AK fight.

HAHAHAHAHHA!!! Now there's a valid argument for why it's not a great device!
Heres another one: ...if only the screen had sharp corners instead of rounded corners!
Yup, same old Provari hate threads ... you came at a rare time as they're not as common.
You want something less boring ... check out the iStick stuff ... they're on fire over there

I think we need something new to bash. Bashing Provaris and isticks is getting boring. Suggestions?
Uh...no thanks. I actually almost added both of those to my post as well as subjects I would rather not see again
Let's see. Smokeless image for one. I have maybe 5 volts (1(2) a freebie). I had one issue where the screw cap wasn't vented allowing for a draw. They sent me another one, fee. I drilled a small hole in the cap and good to go. I have never had an issue with them in three years. Granted I do not use every day.
15 dollar nemy clone (brass and SS) Dang I forgot to dig my brass one up. No issue. Going strong almost 2 years. I have magnet instead of a spring in it. Those things can take a beating.
MVP2. Had a year and half.. no issues... battery seems to not hold a charge as much, but I think it is more perception than reality.
3 spinners.. 15 bucks each. No issues still going strong 2+ years.
Smok 50. only had a month.. no issues.
I vape at 8.5 watts at the highest on a generally 1.8 to 2.3 self wrapped coil which looks like a 5 year old wrapped.
15 (average) bucks for the volts. 30 for the MVP. 15 for each nemy clone. 40 for the smoke 50.
Oh I did have a SVD. It worked okay but I kept slicing my skin on the ridges. I tried some DIY on it. Finally a sledge hammer doomed it. It was user error though. I would not say it was a good device. I wasn't happy with it. Think I paid 32 for it.
I don't baby them but I also don't go out looking to trash them. I have dropped them on concrete, my brick patio and grass.
Anyway.. There are some that have been reliable to me. Don't get me wrong though. I am not trashing a Provari. I do believe there other viable alternatives at a much cheaper price.
Hey, great try! Yep, you got me....every one of those is at least as good as a provari ! Most are probably even better! I can't believe I didn't think of those....
