You are going to LOVE that Ti, they really are sweet. I wouldn't trade mine for anything

You know, the one Made in America, that has an 18 sec. cut-off ( I find that priceless )
It's 16 seconds dummy.
Can't blame you on the gloves. I have some, too, and they're pretty awesome.
You got lucky on that Vamo. I mean REALLY lucky, do a forum search on Vamos you'll find that a lot of users ended up buying a $19.99 paperweight.
And quite frankly, my quitting cigarettes for good....... is too important to me to trust it to a cheap device.
Provari is hands down, the single best vaping related purchase Ive made in the almost 6 years Ive been a member of this forum.

Not to turn this into a Vamo versus Provari thread, but the Vamo 3 was the first VW mod I bought. I had to do the "o-ring fix" within the first few weeks, and then the 510 threads failed in less than two months - and please believe me when I say I know how to take things apart and put them back together without breaking them.
Granted, the o-ring was free, and it only cost me $6 (for a replacement SS topcap) and about 30 minutes to fix it (and I still have it to this day) but it was still an equipment failure that was NOT uncommon among Vamo users.
I don't know what the failure rate is with the various Provari offerings, but I do know a casual search in the forum doesn't turn up a lot of "how to fix xxx" threads related to them, if any at all.
No, that does NOT make any Provari the "perfect" vaping device for all users, but as I've said before, IF it fits your vaping style AND your budget, I think it's a great choice.
Remember pre iphone? For years, folks would compare raw numbers and $... Pc always would 'win' under that because it doesn't take into account the industrial design, usability,mfeatures of the core software... Those uncounted things - if you like them - meant that the apple was fairly priced. I think the provari and watts argument has some good parallels.
In saying that, i wanted to drip and the p3 just didn't pack enough oomph.
Right now i alternate between a provari 2.5 and nautilus & provari 3 and kayfun lite plus. Great vape. Solid as a really old thing made of real metal. Could crush a wicked witch if you had too.
And...
A couple of hex ohms, which i don't push high at all 22 - 26 watts, but i love my vectors and stumpy in that range and its beyond the p3. Plus i like the box form factor, smooth finish, nice to hold, 2 batteries so long life...
But had provape had a 30/40 watt mod at the time, i would have gone with that. I do think my hexes will last a while since my lowest ever build was 0.46, and i never turn the pot past 20% and i like them, don't get me wrong...
But the build quality of a provari is exceptional. And there are just to many stories on here backing that feeling of quality up. I am sure some folks get lucky with their sigeleis ( have a couple of those too as backups ) and they might go for a few years, but i think those are the exceptions OR at least right now unknown odds.
odds are overwhelmingly in favour of the provari going for a few years without goofiness.
I dunno, i used to spend 300 to 400 bucks a month on camels so i really don't think the provape price is nuts. The issue is there are very cheap options, and i think people want vaping to be really really cheap, its like everything else though... For the most part if you are going to use something fir a while, quality pays off and you'll enjoy using the thing more too.
I don't think that to say fir example, the istick is just as well built as a provari, has any basis in reality though. You will not get the same quality, even despite labor for pennies per hour etc. You might get lucky with a sigelei 150, might, maybe it will survive the hallowed provari journey to the dark night of the board... But it probably won't hold up.
Just be happy. Get the mod you like. It shouldn't be a contest.
And remember land rovers... I guess they are heaven for the first 2 years and then start smoldering and basically withdraw 500 a day from your checking. But those first 2 years you feel like a god. Well the provari will make you feel like a god probably for longer. And way cheaper. I mean sure it seems like buying a land rover compared to an istick, but cm'on its 2am and i don't know where my button rattle is. I like that. No button rattle. Its tacky.
Don't vape a land rover. Or buy a nissan rogue bcause despite all the good reviews the qc is pants. Make sure your mod buttons don't rattle.
Good night and good luck

I've posted before, I smoked about a pack and a half a day for 30 years. In the years that I smoked, the average price of a pack of cigarettes went from about $0.60 in 1983 to about $6.00 in 2013.
Let's say the median price was about $2.00 (it's probably higher than that because they topped $2 a pack around '97 and started climbing exponentially after that, but I'm too lazy to do the real math, lol).
30 years x 365.25 days/year x 1.5 packs/day x $2/pack is about $33,000 with absolutely NOTHING to show for it other than yellow fingers, a smoker's hack, and stinky clothes.
Compared to that, $100, $200, even $300 for a reliable mod is peanuts - and I have yet to grind an APV out on the pavement.
I have used my three year old ProVari on multiple occasions to hammer nails, mostly smaller ones or finish nails. It performs that job much better than a box wrench. I consider it the Snap-on of mods, about the highest compliment I can give.
considering that most people's are still working flawlessly after 3-4 years, I don't think it is hard to justify.
Not a provari fan girl or anything, but I do know a dependable piece of vape gear when I see it, and I've used them.
Only reason I don't have one is because I hate menu systems.
I always think of the provari like a really bullet proof BUICK or Towncar.
I am not the sort of gal who would drive a buick or towncar, but I can appreciate them for why people do drive nothing but.
I'm more of a honda/toyota type o' gal myself. So yeah, small, light, thoughtfully laid out.....modern.
Tell ya what, IF there was a mod that is anything like my Zorjirushi NS-LAC05 3 Cup Micom Rice Cooker with Fuzzy Logic chipset..........I'd have 5 of them.
*I always joke that if house was on fire, I'd be grabbing that off my counter before I ran out the door!!!!
I love japanese made things.
ya i agree about the one device, learned that with egos. The Pv was too rich for my blood at the time, not knocking you or owners man, if you drove a lexus and i a toyota i wouldnt hate ya. i ended up liking boxes over tubes so ended up on team murica with a vapor shark.
ProVari - the last mod you'd expect to see blowing clouds in the cereal ISLE. I'm pretty sure that's the only place they don't work.
Gawd I'm glad we're not all the same, what a boring place this would become!
The bottom line is that a ProVari will fit your need ... or it won't. That hasn't changed since the V1 first hit the market.
I would point out tho' that every year there is a whole new crop of PVs, and ProVari just keeps going, and going, and going with little to no change.
There actually is a reason for that.
If ProVape has a problem, it's that all three of my Provari's still work perfectly (even my V1). So why would I need to buy another one?

'Cause you don't have that one in the--ooh, look, shiny!
I think of my Provari 2.5 Ti as more like my pickup truck than a Buick. I have a Nissan Frontier that's 11 years old and still hasn't had any major breakdowns, despite years of off road abuse. It's not a big pickup, either.
That Provari weighs about 2 oz less than my Sigelei tube mod. Very solid, but not very heavy. Also, I have Parkinson's, so I drop things a lot. I've had the Provari a little more than a week, have already dropped it on both pavement and concrete. The finish isn't even scratched. I should also mention that iClear 30s tanks are almost equally indestructible.
So that's my current setup. At least for going out and about.
Yes. Especially if you don't have a Mini yet. Or if you don't have another green one yet. If you've already got a green Mini, don't buy it. Get the Dragon in that case. I do kinda like the Dragon. It's really shiny.Think I should get that green one???????
They do seem to have a "thing" about colorsThink I should get that green one???????
About two years ago, box mods came along and nearly all use them. Shorter, more comfortable in the hands, 18650 batteries (1 or 2), a bit stealthier and warranties are getting closer. I just sent my out of warranty VaperShark in and they replaced it.
Whatever you decide, the company behind the product is important, too.
