Not a very fair statement...

Real World is different to one person vs another.

Verification was asked for, and it couldn't be proven even thru the telephone... A Real World device!

Thats not in any way true. I gave the phone number. I had just called the number and they told me what colors they had in stock and the price. Anyone who claims to have called and been told differently is doing what is called lying.

That shop is gonna cover pretty much from Utica to Rochester, roughly 3 million people. Anyone of those 3 million can walk in an be holding that product tonite.

Last Summer I was in NYC and went to Beyond Vape. And there sat the SX Mini for cheap. All I could carry. Went back upstate and its 200 on the innernet. Go figger??

Sometimes the people who get off the couch get the deals while are sitting at home hitting F5.

likewise, the internet is full of them ... you are not the first ProVari troll I've encountered in these ProVape threads.

As I posted ... if they actually had P3s ... they would be shown on their website.

however, everything indicates, all they have are 2.5s for $200


What exactly did they say when you called??

They don't know me from Adam and gave me all the info over the phone.

i have two kabuki 510 clones from fast tech
they are as good as the hoh kabuki if not better
$19 ea.
Like a lot of people I jumped on the FastTech train & thought I'd ride it til the wheels fell off. But I became too impatient to accept long ship times as something I could like. I also figured that had I bought the original, I would've had it long before FastTech could get my stuff on a boat so how much did I really save in the long run?

I used to tell myself that my purchases from FT were just as good if not better than the original because I was primarily basing my opinion on people who had both to compare it to.

As it stands, there is not one vaping item I've purchased from FT that still works today. I've been vaping 2.5 yrs & there stuff worked for 2-4 mos tops.

I will never ever say again they sell anything that's good, if not better than the original. I've grown a lot a see FT as just a cheaper alternative for those who dont have a lot of cash to spend.

I hope for you your purchase is all you say it is.

Note 5!!!

if they had them on their website like the other guy saying he saw P3s on clearance .. I would call like I did then.

however, your source does not have P3s ... as I said, if they had them, they would be shown on their website alongside the 2.5s

maybe he thinks the 2.5s are P3s :blink:

They aren't really a innernet shop. I think these places get innernet sites with the store software or something. Ans even when they are serious they are generaly run seperately.

I just looked and Beyond Vape still has the SX Mini for 200. I paid much less in store.

Here is a link to this areas biggest Provari dealer. They have a number of stores and all have Provari's in stock (at full price). Yet no mention of Provari on the website.

When a B&M has a web presence, they don't always keep the site updated, so it wouldn't surprise me if coolerat is correct...why would anyone make that up?

My local vape shop still has Joyetech Ego-C's (remember those?) listed for $60. I wouldn't be surprised if I called and found they were out of stock :p

I've had the opposite experience and have had great experience and product (for the most part) from FT and have a lot of equipment from there that is still rocking (Hana mod that is still kicking it after 3 years, lots of kayfuns and various parts, etc.). FT also has tons of authentics on the site that can be purchased.

IMO it's just another channel/alternative that can or cannot be used depending on the need.

YMMV but that has been my experience over 5 years using FT often (as well as many, many other sources).

For me it's not necessarily a matter of which is better, but depriving the person (in this case @Zen~ ) that took the trouble to innovate of some deserved income just rubs me the wrong way. Also, if everyone buys clones, that would be a pretty significant disincentive to come out with a version 2 or whatnot. Then you have less innovation and you're stuck with leaky subtanks :)

So, Willy? Were you able to get more info? I looked at the site, and also saw NO P3s listed. It may be, as The Stealth said, just a lack of updating the site, but in all honesty, coolerat, this has been most confusing. (To me, anyway.)
