Hello everybody, I am looking into ordering a Provari Mini, I want it in white but i fear it getting dirty because of the material it is made out of, I really dont want something that picks up dirty and animal hair, But I am not sure what material it is made out of, some people tell me its made out of a material like a Remote controller ( like the buttons on there ) and some other people tell me its like a glossy finish, I dont know what it is, can somebody please help me?
Do ProVari's Mini get dirty?

From Provape's website:
"The Titanium White coating is a durable ceramic finish that won't fingerprint."
If it gets dirty you can just wipe it off almost like an enamel finish but better and not as glossy.

The material is an extemely durable paint finish specifically chosen by Provape called carokote. It has been used in the past for gun metals. It is extremely resistant to stains, scratches, and dents.
It is likely more durable than most powder-coated paint finishes used by other mods. I don't have a white Provari, but I have had a blue one for about seven months now. It has suffered falling onto the pavement several times from my lap getting out of my car with no scatches or dents.

Black mini provari here. Had it since about the first week I started vaping and the only pv I use. Never dropped. There is no wearing or scratches either.
I love ya Bad... you've provided so much great content for this forum, BUT I feel I need to correct something, in case someone wants to look it up. It's called CeraKote, and many firearm manufacturers still offer it because of it's durability... And it is well worth it, you wont find a better color coating.
what about the silver color? Is that also made out of the same material or no
Oddly a forum member has one only 3 months old and was complaining of the finish wearing off in several places.
He contacted Provari and they rejected his complaint quoting user wear and tear. Then linked him to their J-wraps.
Oh well, anything can happen.

Thank you Dan. Or is it Jack?
Anyway, I always have a difficult time remembering how to spell CeraKote. I actually did try to find a link to give to the OP for more info with an ECF search but came up empty without the correct spelling.http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/333488-paint-just-powder-coat-what-finish-colored-provaris.html?highlight=CeraKote

No, the default silver color is not CeraKote and that is why is it less expensive than the other colors. Provape out-sources another company to apply the CeraKote to the bodies of the colored Provari's, so it is an added manufacturing cost to Provape. This added cost is passed on to only those customers who choose a colored one. The silver is a bare stainless steel.
The same applies to the LED display. The red display is the default one. The colored displays of blue and green (when available) cost Provape additional money than the red, so that added cost to the manufacturer is passed on only to those customers who want the blue or green display.

I also have a blue provari, albeit a mini. Yup, the coating repels pretty much anything, including ejuice. Easiest way for me to wash it is to wet your hands, give the provari a twirl, then dry it with a clean towel. That pretty much removes anything that was on it.
Don't have any problems with my silver one - hair/dust/sweat/oil from my hands, just needs a quick wipe with a clean towel or napkin, and it looks good as new again. Haven't dropped it, so can't comment on that, but I know there will be may more people commenting on how durable and resilient the body tube, top cap, and battery cap are.
My silver Provari hasn't shown scratches on the tube either, and I'm impressed. I haven't dropped it, but I did accidentally tip it over a couple times when reaching for it and haven't noticed any scratching. Disappointingly, the end caps did show scuffing pretty soon after I got it, but it can't look brand new forever.
I have a white mini which I love. I've owned it for about 5 weeks I use it all the time. Since getting it I can hardly stand to use anything else I have. I have had no problems keeping it clean. I wipe it with a microfiber towel when I think about it. Finish is perfect even though I have dropped it a couple of times. One of my drops was outside after a rain and it had mud on it, wiped right off. Pack it in my pocket and purse with no issues. Can't say enough good things about it. Wish I hadn't waited so long to get it. Love it!
Its is actually how they finish the ProVari...im not saying the white finish wont be scratch or the blue or black... its just depends on how u handle the ProVari... ive seen people having their blue ProVari for three days and having had a scratched already... im pretty sure the finish is great but I cant vouch that it wont scratch in the near future... its just how u handle it 
... I have a black and silver... the black one Ive been using it more than the silver and never drop but I have scratches which is I dont mind...the silver is all perfect and it been dropped I have a small unnoticeable dent but it's still perfect...other than that no devices r perfect even the ProVari... its all up to u!:beer:

Exactly what do mean by "dirty"? Because obviously I only paid for the base model.
