Got my Provari Classic GM awhile ago. I needn't have ordered an 18650 end cap, it came with an extension for 18650. So on my next one I won't bother with it.
Sweet! :D

I can see a few of those on my future.

Sos. Forget the hyphen. It is; 'vapecalc.com'

Oh yeah, & to get nerdy on you, I = V/R (that's ohms law)
'I' Is the amps you want so, voltage divided by resistance equals the amps.
Just use the calculator if your lazy :pervy:

So like I said before 4.2 (voltage) divided by 0.4 (resistance)
= 10.50 (Amps)

My 18650 batteries are generally 20 Amps (I), so that's fine. Only half (near enough)

Good luck

This would make sense if they had been priced higher for the past 3 months but to have them listed at 49.99 for months, then jump to 149.99 and back to 49.99 the next day doesn't equate with them paying more for them. I just feel sorry for anyone who paid the higher price 2 days ago. They would have been gouged because I don't believe there is anyway DFW paid close to that much for them at any time this year with them buying in bulk quantities.

I am not bashing them to death, I have placed a lot of big orders with them and as recently as yesterday. What bothers me is the treatment on the chat, like being hung up on the telephone.
I've noticed many of the vape shops I've been to that may have had a 'Vari or 3 in stock have had those same mods for monthsssssss- maybe yearssssss!!! They're not something that fly off store shelves @ $180.00 2013 prices yet these stores won't lower the prices to get the item out the door.

Since these other sites carry Provari's with different colors than what Provape sells - I wonder if they are buying unfinished Pro's and having them finished??? Or is it a sideline of Provape to sell the "Special" colors through other vendors to reduce direct competition with their site or let's say to beef up sales from collectors'...
I highly doubt that's what ProVape is doing.

Welp, that's just silly (Lex). One would think they'd be aware of current "value".


No, must be cause Provari was in the description. This is from Dick's site:
PROVARI MOD -POLISHED STEAL

Hello, WHAT??????????? :shock:

See Dick run. :facepalm:


Oh boy, come to pappa. Provari gun metal Classic.

There is NOTHING like a GMZ, op. (except maybe a dame)


@Semiretired - which sites had different colored Provis? I'm sorry, but I'm not avidly reading every page here. My guess (were I to have one, and wow, look at that: I do) is that they might be the older colors that Provape used to sell?

Lexi, help me out here.

    These Labor Day sales aren't making it that hard to not use my CC this weekend. Not seeing any real steals on the things I'm looking for or much else for that matter.

    If anyone finds RX200's for under $40 or Encom Voidrays for around $25 or less let me know.

    Well these shops first had them they probably were at a fair price. Just keep watching them and you will get them at clearance prices when the place closes.

    They ticked me off so much. I started a chat to ask about the price hike on the Vari's and 'Skylar' came on the chat, read what I said and exited without a word. Poor CS, if you ask me. I was nice in what I wrote, just wanted to know why they jumped the price up. I was never going to buy there again but checked back in case they had a glitch or made a mistake and saw other things had been changed and the Vari's were back to original price. I think they wanted it to look like they 'dropped' the price to boost sales or something. If you do end up ordering and if it is 60.00, split it into two orders, use code getcarded and at least get 4.00 off each order,plus free shipping. I am out to get them after that gouging. lol

    ETA: Yes, it is gouging. At first I thought the same as Semi but when they dropped the price after only a few hours and put the 149.99 price there with the 'reduced' price, I believe it was all done to make it look like a reduction in price. They knew what price Provape is selling them and they know how much they paid for them. They have had some for sale for months so not like they suddenly felt they had underpriced them. I am probably one of the few buying them and the only reason is that I wanted colors I couldn't get from Provape.

    Now if someone had the metallic bronze, I might consider overpaying for that one. :cool:

    I kind of wondered the same thing. If they might have raised the price in preparation for a "sale" where they can drop the price back down where it was. The items I was looking at are still sitting at the elevated price. The kicker is under "best seller" the answer is no. LOL! No big, if they drop them back down I'll buy. If not, I'll certainly survive. :)
