I wasn't thinking istick.There's plenty of mods in the $100+ category. Does Provape loose $ on all their repairs? I didn't think they were making money, but I didn't think they were loosing it either. Siegeli had a center in Calif for awhile. Never heard much about it, but the idea the mod was warrentied for a year was a tipping point for me to purchase. That's gone now I guess. That's a reason I won't invest more than a couple of isticks worth of $ too.
If I'm going to pay $150-$200, I'll get a REO cause I know it's backed. I don't think a service center is unreasonable for manufacturers to help cover the cost.
I'm sure Provape barely breaks even with their repairs. Customer service, pure and simple. One of the reasons they have VERY loyal customers. I also don't think they do tons of repairs. They build them right and to last before they ship them.
