Yea I always love that too, When someone tells me they smoked a Pack or 2 a day, but can't afford a ProVari.

Not that you care but i. The last 3 months i have charged $1500 and maxed my non smoking husbands creedit card, He is deployed and has no clue yet, so yeah chill out guys.

Why yall hating on me whe. I want a provari without knowing how much they cost. I never looked into one before and see them highly reccomended which is why i read and participatd in these threads.

Ok i for one am not even close to trying to bash a provari! My god yall is sensitive. Whike writing that post i googled provari and looked at provape and was like crap i cant afford it yet, so let me stop asking questions! If i cant afford it right now might as well lose a little of that twinkle in my eye till i can.

Looks awesome, sounds awesome, i think id want the bigger one, so id have to ask more questions. But this is some one elses thread.

Point being no provari bashing meant, think it was a misunderstood post.
If i were the OP AND I COULD AFFORD IT, GET IT!!!!

I apologize that your posts were misinterpreted. It's true we tend to be sensitive, but we are constantly being insulted. And people do come here just to rile us up.

Awe thanks. I really am interested and had not looked into getting one het. Think about it, i didnt even know they had vv till i read this post. Thanks for the apologies. I still want one, im drooling but i have soo many questions! How much battery life do get, how many batteries do you need, which ones, will the color flake. Seems like there is a better range of vv than on other devices. Ugh, i have to keep reading! Can you still use provape for repairs if you buy it used. How long of life are those batteries,

Uh uh ih
Brain overload, where is santa?
Wheres that damn credit card. Omgod i need help. Some one call the auhirities,
Please disregard this post as this woman seems to have provari fever and will go to great lengths to get one because she wants one and well some women get what they want


Acccckkkk!


Well i feel like a picked on teenager after reading thru these posts,
So a quote from another thread where i asked rhetorical questions, admitting i had no knowlege of the answers. I did not believe the provair to be vv or vw, i just knew it was an expensive mod? Is mod e right word. Uhm the most expensive device i own cost $43 i heard the provari was outrageous, i guessed $150' not having any idea it woukd be over $200 these questions afent generally answered on provari posts. I dont even know what trolling means sorry if you think im a troll. I really think this was a misunderstanding and feel bullied. I just asked my husband via email about getting one, he asked me to look more into it, so i come back here to read and now i just want to cry. Ban me, kick me whatever. But i am a very friendly person and to be treated this way. Thanks. I guess i wil, private msg some one about my provari questions or will that be harrassment

When all's said and done, the peace of mind not having to worry about breakage, repairs, voltage drops, with a consistant and great vape.... for YEARS... is worth a single carton of cigs more. Considering that I could smoke a carton a week, that's a non-issue. Considering what I'm saving on cigs, I can buy a new Provari a month and be dead even budget-wise. So big deal it's $200.

But here's the best part... I can buy a Provari a month, smoke it for a month, sell it used... and because they hold value better than other APV, I can buy a different color brand new Provari the next month if I want to and only be out $20. Can you do that?

I was asking these questions because i dropped an mvp2 3 days after buying it with a intanked on it, it broke and the fire button was depressed and it ruined my mvp2 had to buy another one, trying to figur out if the provari would withstand that? See i have the worst luck with devices. From my understanding i think i woukd just have to clean and maybe replace the batteries, but im guessing

No I didn't mean Asking questions. I meant what I said, a failed attempt to BASH the ProVari. And I choose just to ask if it happens all the time.

Around 4pm yesterday Ladiekali posted

This post here is how I knew yesterday, only 3 hours later, that Ladiekali already knew the answers to the questions, and was attempting to bash the ProVari.

But when you read them 2 post,

the one at 4:01pm



and the one at 6:56pm




they do kind of look like the same post and same questions that Baditude answered back on the 15th,



Now you being a ECF Moderator I would like to ask you this,

Why would a person that don't like the way it looks, thinks it cost to much, and won't buy one just because its not VW,
hang out in the ProVari forum and post what they believe to be negative things about the ProVari on peoples threads that are serious and honestly thinking about buying one?

Oh BTW:

One i found jwraps which will make anything look pretty. Two just because i like my $43 battery that im oosting about on a different thread means nothing, two i never went back to that thread, three you could have asked me my intentions, ffour were you a bully in high school??? Same questions because i still did not know the answers which is why im reading these posts. If some one had answered it i missed it as i am a mother of two teenage boys a teo year old and a deployed husband and cant aleays read every post.,maybe my questions are so dumb you cant believe they are legit.

I even aska bout if they look better in person, are they vv, vw both? I still dont know how long a battery lasts will it be all day, half a day two days. Does the bigger ine give you more battery life, whats with these extender things for he mini, whats a kick,

And iw ill be asking these sme questions u till i completely understand them.


Anyway i came here to find out more about provari,i thought i might want one, the. I was like crap $200
Since the. Ive been looking at classifieds reading reviews and watching videos. Talking or sucking up to my husband via email who still does not know cc is maxed with xmas around the,.,, you know what. Nm.

Thanks for making me feel special appreciate it.

My first, and actually my favorite (Shhhh, don't tell the others!), is a satin silver v2.0 I got on the ProVape clearance page. They don't have any on there now, but they seem to come in waves. The ones on clearance are "blems." There is nothing wrong with them except for some cosmetic flaw. I have never found the blem on mine and I don't think many others have found it on their's either. I didn't get the ext cap or rings or anything. I figured I could get an ext cap later and, at the time, I didn't know what rings were for anyway. I still don't have an ext cap, I like the small size. The blems come with the same warranty as regular ones. You can also upgrade the LED color, which I did for an extra $15. I like the blue light :) I didn't buy the kit because it only came with plain cartos at the time, so I saved a little money buying the rest elsewhere.

If you buy one off the classys, ProVape will still repair it. Their repair costs are very reasonable, which is why most people don't buy the extended warranty.

I wanted to buy a battery and charger from RTD Vapor, but they were out of stock. I shopped around and got 2 AW IMR 18350 batteries and a charger from Electronicstix. The charger turned out not to be the wisest choice. It's an Xtar and it works fine, but only charges 18350 size batteries. I didn't envision I would ever have another mod. Lol! At the time though, it was fine, since it was $11.99. I've got batteries charging on it now.

I only bought two batteries at first and it worked. I get at least 4 hours out of an 18350 chain vaping (YMMV) and since it doesn't take 4 hours to charge one I was always ahead. I've since bought more of course.

I already had a couple of IBTanks, but I buy the plain glass ones, so they aren't terribly expensive. That's all I had for quite some time. You don't have to go all out with fancy rings and tanks and tips, I look, but rarely buy any of it.

Like anything in vaping, if you can resist the Pretty Shinys you can keep the cost down.

I think we've just had a misunderstanding, folks, and we're all on the same side. In fact, I'm sure of it now so, if you trust me at all (not sure why you would but then, why not?), just believe me and forget the strife part of this discussion.

It's all good in the neighborhood. :)




Ugh, figures I'd post without noticing an entire page of communication after responding to a single post. DERP

Yeah i didnt even see the moderator on here or i would not have posted any response.
I really really didnt mean to make any one upset. So i apologize for that.
So now iim thinking no need for the extender cap or the bigger batteries to start.
You think two batteries is good or would some one reccomend more? Can you charge one battery at a time. Or do they both have to be on there.
The short charging time im told about is awesome.

I want to throw my provari like u jjoohn! Then maybe i wont reply to these posts i shouldnt reply to.

I promise i am much funnier in person. When i get my provari im ginna do a video review so yall can laugh at me and have a better understanding of what i really am.... Hint a giggly goof ball.

I initially bought 4 and never regretted it because I think it makes all of them last longer when I rotate them like I'm doing. Besides, the little battery box holds 4 so it works.....lol You could probably get away with just 2. You can charge one battery at a time if you like.

I think you'll be fine here, kiddo. As I said, misunderstandings all around. Even moi (yes, I am admitting being WRONG about something *gasp*).

I hope the batteries I sent will help your gramps out.

I promise you the Provari will take a lot of abuse. A normal device would have been destroyed four times with what I have done. I like the Provari but the Provari is probably very confused. When I am mad at a non-Provari device I take it out on the Provari because it can take it. It is probably asking "What did I do, I work every single time no matter what?" They would probably be justified in reporting me for abuse.

This one went out a two story window. It survived just fine.

Don't listen to her, She drives a corolla!
Actually, I don't even have a valid license right now much less a car although the last car I sold (a Corolla!) is parked out in front of the house running like a champ. I sold it to my stepfather about 5 years ago.

That's it. I'm calling PPS. Provari Protective Services. How do you feel about counseling?

OK thanks everyone for talking me into the inevitable. Im gettin one!! Just waiting for the Cyber Monday sale.

Now, im going back and forth on size. I like the smaller form factor of a mini. But I vape pretty heavily- I get a full day out of my MVPv2 but not much more- sometimes i completely kick a full charge in one day. I vape ~2ohm dual coil at 4W.

Now I dont mind switching batteries ONCE during the work day. But more than that will be a pain as i dont want to lug around many batteries and/or a charger.

18350/mini- ill clearly be changing this more than 2X a day.
18490/mini/full - May be able to get by with 1 change during the workday ..?
18650 - probably would last me the full day, i hope. but big....


So I guess 18490 is the way, but do i want the option to go small when i need it, or go longer life when i need it.... hmmmm... any inputs based on real-world usage let me know!
