I have real ones, did you notice the k2 is not sold on evolv's site or you just wanted to be sarcastic regardless? And dealers are continually sold out.
Provari, the ax has come for you

Yes I know. You did say kick and not kick2..
For 20 bucks I have real kicks too. That's how I knew they sold them there.
Just to add.. the clone kicks tend to rattlesnake on cartos all the time (Boge if that matters). On RTAs they don't.

I don't burn money either. I make a careful decision which may include a test run at a B&M. One it happened to be a Provari. After the test run, I decided not to buy one. Why? There was only a small difference in the vape.
I am not arguing with you, just showing the other side. Some reason provari users generally cannot see the other side. Liek the dude that laughed when I said my gear that has been reliable. Its worked for 3 years no problems.. his provari (s) for 3 years no problems. Isn;t that what we are discussing? reliability?
Maybe we will come back in 4 years and see.
Lol, "that dude" here....if you'd have bothered to actually read this thread, you'd see that I haven't knocked any devices. I actually did point out that I'm sure there are folks that had a vamo or an svd give them years of quality service. You seem to be included in that group. The companies that made those mods aren't known for reliability, superior craftsmanship, top shelf materials and excellent customer service. They're known for making affordable entry level devices. I never said they all break inside of a month, but many of them do.
So, to say these companies are as good as ProVape was wrong. Alice made the claim that there were all these companies that make better mods for less money. I just asked them to name one. So, I can buy stuff from there.
I'm glad your stuff has lasted so long, though.
Yeah I know you are that dude. I was referring to this.
"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....
"Looks like a laugh.. Was kinda funny too. Looks like to me that was a knock on them as well. Up until this you had not, then bam.. once gear was mentioned there went the slight. It's cool with me. I don't give a crap what someone thinks about my gear. It works for me and apparently many others.
You look at your tagline and see the plethora of devices you have or had. Many top line. No doubt you would lower yourself to a spinners level or a volt. Then again, personally, I don't care. I think it is strange one has to have 10 device if not more. All one really needs is 1 and a backup and maybe another backup (initially). At least that was my progression.
I do agree though.. I was not a big fan of the SVD, it just looked cool. I never owned a vamo.
I never said they were top shelf materials. I will say Smokeless Image's customer service is top notch. The others I can't say for their customer service. I never needed it.
How many let's take spinners are out there? Now compare that to the number of Provaris. Yes a lot more. Now let's add in user error. Yes, many of the incidents are user error. Since the spinner are newbie friendly we got them hooking up all type of cables. The Provari is not a newbie device.
Look at Bad... his one unfortunate error led to vent, which in turn, we as a community have been made better for. Still it was user error. We are humans and we make mistakes.
Before you go down the path I have never bashed a Provari. Calling them expensive for what they are, is not a bash.
Oh and American made is not always great. My american made fridge just died as did my american made microwave. Fortunately I got the extended warranty.. but I also get extended warranty service which is 7 day wait time. 1-2 years old... Oh wait, scratch that my microwave is Swedish.
by the way.. Have a good holiday weekend.. I am out to go boating.
I'm vapocalypse prepped.
Including 2 prothingys.
I probably won't be buying more though.
There's so much out now it would be silly.

The only thing that really matters is if the user likes what they are vaping with and are able to quit smoking. Only took me 43 years to be able to find something that I could quit with; vaping. Did it with an ego to boot. Loved my egos for a year and thought the Provari was a bit expensive at first blush. Finally got a Provari and it, along with a charger and batteries, cost me about what I spent in two weeks on smoking.
Obviously a Provari isn't for everyone but $100 for a good rig isn't that much especially when your health is on the line. In some states, your $50 disposable (and all vaping related stuff) may soon cost you up to 90% more. I hope you all are keeping up with what is going on in your county, state and the FDA.
Bad, it's great to see you posting regularly now.
You were greatly missed.

I hate speaking for WillyZee, and I'm sure he'll be thrilled to smack me upside the head if I'm wrong, but I think he means that those of us that use ProVaris get what that mod is all about. Many people that use Reos or whatever are loyal to them and I believe what they say about them but I don't "get it" because I've never used one. It's not an elitist statement. Making this worse so shutting up now.
Yes we haz, no doubt about it.
Ain't that the truth?
The I get it? ... lol, you could be correct.
That statement is something many first time Provari users said after they were on the fence about buying and then bought one.
Before I tried my first Provari ... a thread like this one was started daily on ECF ... there were so many of these Provari hate threads, I was like ... what is true?
However, I kept reading them anyhow, trying to decide, are the haters correct? or could the Provari owners know something the haters don't?
One thing I did notice though, the haters didn't own Provaris ... they only hated on them.
Back then, I also noticed there were only 2 mods where there were no threads about device failure ... the REO and the Provari.
I kept reading ECF and seeing threads about broken this and busted that and was still convinced the haters were right ... how could a Provari or REO be that much better than my eVic ... I loved my eVic ... it saved my life and was also north of $100.
The haters were so convincing about the Provari being too expensive ... I was like, dayum, I could buy a Vamo, an MVP and some others and still have money for juice.
Then I found the classies and saw what these used REOs and Provaris were going for ... people weren't fire selling them, heck, they were only 20% cheaper than new devices.
That was it for me ... I had to see for myself and bought a used black mini. After first getting it, I really wanted my eVic to prove the haters were correct ... didn't happen, turns out, the Provari owners were onto something.
So yeah ... I get it now.
The Evic was a very good vape for me too, with pretty smooth PWM and nice features. It made it through three drops, but was dead on the fourth.
I wish a reviewer could get a batch of different regulated mods and test drop them all from chest height onto a hard surface floor. Wonder which ones would be good vapes after the tenth drop?

Best they use concrete ... hate to see them crack a nice ceramic tiled floor.

You just need to slow down the delivery a bit, maybe loosen up your arm. Too much rotation on the release is my guess.
I suppose I could be considered a Provari fanboi, although I greatly dislike that moniker. They are worth the cost TO ME. YMMV. There are less expensive devices that others enjoy. I am happy they've found something that works for them. I've had box mods, including REOs, and decided they aren't as comfortable in my hand as a tube. If you like a box mod, great. I don't chase clouds, if you do, I don't understand the excitement, but go ahead and enjoy them.
When I started vaping 20 months ago, I saw many Provari owners recommending egos and spinners to newbie vapers based on their stated needs, budget etc. Getting a Provari was explicitly not recommended for newbies, rather they were told to figure out what they like/want before buying one. It was later that the sarcastic 'just get a Provari' posts came along, often by people who didn't own one. In the multiple threads like this, I haven't seen Provari owners claim Provari is for everyone. I've seen happy owners stating some of the things that matter to them. Others may not think these things are important and that's Ok. It's a personal, subjective choice. It is beyond frustrating to be asked to defend my choice of vape gear time after time, and again as the title of this thread implies one needs to do.
My motto - vape what you like and be happy.
