dropping my provari

[jnnfrlsw]

My new Provari is being delivered in the morning-am SO excited. Only 1 worry is that i am bad about dropping things. My 2 year old GLV has taken the beaten and kept on tickin. But I was ready for the next level of vaping so the Provari is that for me.

Has anyone dropped their provari and did it survive or tear up the comp. components? I am really scared that I will end up breaking this expensive PV. Please share your story. Thanks. Jenn

I am 5'10" and dropped my Provari out of my waist pocket onto polished concrete. The atty was ruined, but the satin silver Provari didn't even incur a scratch.

Hi again.
I have dropped my ProVari at least five times from varying heights onto a concrete floor. A sickening sound, to be sure.
No damage to the internals save for one time the spring came loose from the end cap but that was easily fixable.
Honestly I treat it very rough. It's always with me & I have a very physical job. I don't think twice about taking it into the wild, but as you know I finally had to create the lanyard which protects it from at least some of my klutziness.
Your mileage may vary, good luck!

I was taking my dogs out at 4:30 am, still half asleep, and dropped mine on the cement...hard...I about had a heart attack, but it didn't do much damage at all. A couple of very small nicks in the standard end cap was all. Everything else still looks brand new, so I changed the end cap for the extended one I had and looks like I have a brand new Provari...LOL!

Hi jnnfrlsw, just curious, how long were you using your GLV before you ordered the Provari? And was your GLV a 5 volt?

 

[jnnfrlsw]

I have beeb using my 5V GLV between 18 to 24months. I love my GLV but wanted the variable option. Got my Provari about and hour ago and so far its a wonderful vape.

I've dropped my provari MANY times, and broken many attys....
The only time I had to have it repaired was when I threw it (slammed might be a better term)... so It can be broken- but not easily through normal dropping/tipping.

TWICE in one day the first week I had it, had it on my lap in work van and got out. Almost cried haha
Very sickening sound, broke a cartomizer from the connector - only the negative threads were left had to get it out by opening needlenose plyers, kind of like when a light bulb breaks in its socket. Absolutely no damage to anything but the powdercoating - this thing's a tank!

I dropped mine on the concrete floor at work,Broke the tube loose from the 510 atomiser.The atomiser guts were still attached to the connector end,I put the tube back on and still use the atty.Provari=$ well spent.

Tell us the whole story? hehe
Wasn’t there a bar fight or you were using the ProVari as a weapon in self defense?

Not exactly... you came to that conclusion because I said I wanted to hit the person I was arguing with and threw it down on the ground in anger- I promised I'd come clean with the rest of the story so here it is ...

I didn't tell you it was my wife arguing with me and if I had thrown a punch instead of my ProVari, it would have cost alot more-So I can honstly say my ProVari saved my marriage ... I left the cracked floor tile in the bathroom as a reminder ;-) .....
