So after all the research I was sold on the Zmax for my first APV. I was COMPLETELY against the Provari bandwagon. I felt that though quality wise it was the best and been out for a long enough time to be perfected that I couldn't excuse the price. Plus I really wanted a VW device. With a little advise from my wife ... I've been convinced and converted lol. The main deciding factors? It's tried and true, it's been out long enough to be one the best mods out. It's made in America (I like to support my country when I can). It's proven to keep voltage steady no matter how low the battery is. But the most important of all is ... the warranty. I mean a standard 1 year warranty. If I get anything decent with the features I want other than the Provari I'm looking at $120-$160. If anything goes wrong after 3 months and have to buy another one, well ... I've already spent more money than a Provari!! I won't get the extended warranty because I know Provape will fix it fairly in expensively. Gotta get the battery extension and that spick satin black finish though! Also who knows, maybe by the time the year is up some new and exciting advancements might come out and Provape will have a new APV out that I'll want. I can't believe it ... I've been converted to the Provari Club for vaping lol!!
