I'll take that bet! My Provari has already surved a 40mph side impact collision that knocked it out of my hand and 50 yards down the pavement. Hardly a scratch on it and it fired right up. Outside of a lawnmower blade hitting it, Ive yet to see anything destroy a Provari.
For those asking for side-by-side comparisons, some things cant be translated well with words or pictures. You have to experience them for yourself to see.
This is a great opportunity to seek out a local
vape meet. You can check here and on facebook.They are great places to meet fellow vapers and try out new
devices for yourself.....and when its all said and done thats the only opinion that really matters in regards to your
vaping any way.
Well and that's the idea, words don't translate well. Anecdotes are all well and good, but while you see a pretty crazy large chunk of people talking about how amazing this device they well expect to be amazing for the price is, you don't actually see a lot of side by side comparisons of actual craftsmanship or durability.... mostly just regurgitation.
which again, is all well and fine, but the problem comes up when things start to get fanatical. "you either own a provari or you don't understand..." and etc.
Guy had a provari in a local vape shop. Felt nice, for sure.... but it didn't produce any otherworldly or impossibly amazing vapor.
I like how my vamo feels. Had it broken when I dropped it down the cliffside, it would have been 30 bucks for a new one. If I did that 4 times a year, my total cost would still be less than a provari, and that's if I couldn't fix it myself.
Regarding the pulse modulation, I can't find any real reason why this would matter, the frequency at which it pulses.... nor do I hear anything strange when I fire my vamo.
But again, these are anecdotes and simple observed comparisons. For the provari to really prove it's place, a million anecdotes don't mean much. There are entire forums dedicated to people who will swear lizard people exist and are from the center of the earth, or that the earth is flat. a HUGE number of people think the USA was behind 9/11.
That doesn't mean these people are right, it means they are loud, and crazy, or simply found a place to congregate.
And again, I don't want to draw a harsh comparison, most provari owners aren't as bad as flat-earthers, or uh.... what do they call themselves, truthers?
There are a lot of who fanatically love the thing though, and are offended that other people would purchase chinese made mods with similar features and function. Me, I find that a little racist and lacking in understanding of how commerce works, but again, I don't want to turn the whole thing into an us vs them.
Rather, I'd like something solid to go on. Some real comparison.... to at least come to when trying to say it's gods greatest gift to electrical vaporization devices.
I had to put an o-ring on my vamo so everything I own would seat good on it. that's a little bit of user maintenance. I had a lot, for body jewelry stuff, and a silicone one popped in there in about 25 seconds.
for my 30 bucks, I couldn't ask for more. When I discovered RMS mode in my vamo (which they should really mention, like, in the package or something) all my complaints were gone. from 4.2v to 3.4, it produces perfectly smooth and 100% even and reliable vapor in variable wattage RMS mode with every device I own.
Is it possible that the provari would offer some improvement? I don't think so, but i have one test-run in a shop with samples to go on.
Is it possible it's more durable? Oh, for sure. But.... if my vamo broke, I could fix it. If I could not, a new one is cheap as balls.
Is it possible the Provari is, in all possible questions and potential uses, better than every other mod? No, jesus, of course not.
You can't account for taste.
You can, however, back up the claims you make, and again, with something more than anecdotes. Anecdotes aren't worth their weight in atmosphere.
Yesterday, I saw a ghost, and it gave me 50 bucks. But... that doesn't mean ghosts exists, or that I have 50 ghost dollars.
Also, wouldn't the force of a 40mph contact break your wrist?
