I believe it was directed at me, Mostapha, and I'm fairly certain you can ignore it. Duly noted on my end though.

Don't go there. I already got in trouble for EXACTLY that.
Use your imagination, people. You'll figure it out (silently exiting before the moderator catches me). Have fun!
LOL! Some folks just take themselves to serious I spose. Where is Chickenbock when we need him! Still have no idea what anyone is talking about....
I've dropped my vamo onto concrete about a dozen times.
If it does break, I'm sure I can fix it. If I can't, a new one is 30 bucks.
It doesn't pulse and hits advertised power and works great with the unstacked 18650s I slap into it.
I also don't buy into warranties. Having worked for a couple companies offering them, it's pretty much a straight scam. The cost of the war must always be a huge margin for the company or they won't offer it. it's all about perceived value versus real value. Hell, I work in remote support now, and we only offer a 14 day warr on reinfection, and we jump through some ....... hoops to verify that the original infection vector wasn't found, if they simply reinfected themselves, bam, pay me again and find a new .........
But yeah, to each their own. Some people place a very high value on where the device is assembled. I'd be willing to bet that even if they are pressing the board in the USA in the provari, that the controllers or ICs or whatever are very likely still of chinese or asian manufacture. That's kind of par for the course.

For your information:Punkonjunk said:
"Several have asked if the ProVari is just “assembled” in the US or “made” in the US, so to address this question here are some details:
"The ProVape-1 and ProVari are actually MADE and ASSEMBLED in the USA.
Parts - Machined right here in Monroe, WA. We use US-made stainless steel bar stock to produce the tubes, top caps, bottom caps, contact pins, etc. Everything is done on our machines locally. No outsourcing.
Bare Circuit Boards - Manufactured in Illinois. We do not purchase the circuit boards from China due to their poor quality. While the circuit boards are more expensive to produce in the USA; this is the heart of the system and it’s important to us that they are the best quality we can get. Each PCB is electronically tested before it ever sees components.
Electronic Components on Circuit Board – these are the only parts that might come from outside of the USA. Some of these parts are simply not made in the US, so we can’t get them from a US source, even though we would prefer to.
We use components from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and the USA.
Component assembly - Components are soldered onto the circuit boards at a facility outside Seattle, Washington. After getting components installed, the boards are tested several more times at our Monroe facility to ensure they are ready to ship. We test each one multiple times to give you the most reliable product you can get.
We don't cut any corners when it comes to quality control, testing, and component selection."

"Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions for our readers. Let’s get it to it then. ProVape designs and manufactures right here in the USA. Why did you decide to manufacture here instead of China where most eCig products are made?"
"There are two reasons. The first was that we wanted to make sure we had full control over the quality and production of the device. Chinese manufacturers are known for inconsistent quality. They often cut corners to save costs and send the customer defective goods.
The second reason was that we were tired of seeing manufacturing jobs sent overseas. We were in a position to do something about it, so we did. Lead by example. So, by producing everything here in the USA not only are we supporting US companies and American workers but we are also able to closely monitor production. This allows us to maintain a standard of building the best products available." - Spinfuel interview with the ProVape Team.

Lol you know nothing about the vamo if you say it doesn't pulse
And provape gives you a one year warranty free. There's no profit margin on free.

i have sent my provari back to get fixed outside of the warranty because i bought it used,,and it was fixed for free and sent back at no charge to me
I would truly love to see China do that !!

Even if they could... could you imagine the TURNAROUND ON THAT?! All my Vari's that got sent out came back within the same week. For Free.
Looks like I'll figure out how good their service is. Mine just gave an E4, which means I'm supposed to call them.
I'm sure I'll get around to it soon.

If you're using an rba and it went away I'd just ignore it

oh they could do that !! but since it is not an american company that will never happen
I as the third owner of a Provari 2.0, way out of warranty
I had a persistent E5 error, shipped it for $15 (i live in Canada) back to them.
I was assuming that i was paying for a board replacement.
I received my Provari 4 days after they received it, fixed at no cost to me.... aside from me shipping it to them.
THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE.
i have yet to see this kind of service from any other manufacture in any industry!
And before anyone cries shenanigans, i disclosed the information of how i purchased the Provari. As i sent it to them under the assumption i was paying for a board replacement.
Super T Manufacturing, Lifetime Warranty and even free polishing if somehow you manage to scratch up their stainless steel.
Too bad they only make mechanicals

I wasn't trying to draw a 1 on 1 comparison between the two, but he claimed "in any other manufacturer in any industry" and that was an example in the same industry. Plenty of companies offer great warranties for premium products. I would argue that Snap On tools has even better warranty and service considering their products, in normal usage are subjected to extreme stress. This does not in anyway take away from the great customer service provided by Provape.
