Bit the bullet...

[latexyankee]

2 years vaping and finally bit the bullet. From old kr808 kits, to various ego's kgo and igo, I'm hoping this will be THE device. Been a ling road and like everyone else I prolly should of ordered awhile ago instead of all the other kits. Black w blue led. Ordered 4 days ago and it's still processing. Arrggghhh, I'm freaking out with anxiety. Maybe they're backed up on orders right now. Anywho, just wanted to say hello.

Waiting on the vape mail can be such a long long wait. I ordered the black with red LED.

I got mine in about 6 days, from order to delivery.

 

[latexyankee]

Sigh, so much for priority shipping, should have asked for priority processing.

That's just cause they scared of the Monkey.

Congrats on the purchase - have had mine for more than a year and a half and have never spent my hard earned money on a better product.

 

[latexyankee]

Any issues in that year and a half? I'm interested in the general lifespan of the product. I see lots of owners with almost a year of use, wondering how many have made it to say 3 years? I suppose if this device could last me 2 years I would be very satisfied, based on the fact that any other batt/sealed device is dead at 6 mo.

The thing that finally got me was the fact that Provape will fix it for you at a reasonable price if something does goes wrong after the warranty runs out. Unless they go out of business, it could theoretically outlast me.

I have to admit though ... the fact that they charge an extra $20 just so you can have a different colored tube is a bit ridiculous.

 

[latexyankee]

Agreed, also $20 for the extender cap is a bit selfish imo, I think that should be included and my choice of any color finsh and led. Not to harp but it's the options and accessories that make companies money. Just ship it already!

You have every right to your opinions, but other companies charge extra for extension tubes or caps. Why hate on Provape for doing the same? Provape has defended their additional charges for the custom paint colors because it is done by an outside source which they have to pay for, it is not done in-house.

The blue and green LED screens also cost Provape more money in parts to make themselves, so the additional cost is passed on to those customers who choose those colors. Same with the carokote paint finishes.

Why charge all customers an higher base cost if they would rather have the original silver finish or original red LED? I see Provape's pricing decisions as a way to keep the cost of a basic Provari to be more easily within reach of those customers who choose to just get the basic model. If you want something with a little more flair or the ability to choose longer battery life (which not everyone wants), you'll need to pay a little more.

It will be worth the wait

You have a point when it comes to the finish, especially if it's done by a third party but I disagree about the led's. I mod pc's and video game consoles for people all the time and have never had $15 discrepancy in color. That being said I'm really not complaining, I bought it because I wanted it. I'm just trying to find conversation and read through every thread on here numerous times. I just need it to ship, I'm down to 2 non performing batteries and a unsatisfactory vape right now. However, if 3 of my batts didnt crap out in a weeks time I would not be on this board right now. Blessing in disguise?
