Just arrived today! After inspecting with a fine tooth comb, here is the suspected blemish!

No skin off my rear, can barely see it, the close up camera shot makes it more visible...... so provape must go over these provaris with a magnifying glass. The $30 savings went toward a Pila charger, batteries and bottom extension at order. Took 6 days to arrive from order date for a blemish and I am 3.5 hours south of Provape.

No bottom extension on now, I am currently at Skamania Lodge with the wife for V-Day (after stalking the mailman today) so provari is in hidden pocket mode. Surprised at the size, I imagined it to be larger. I LOVE IT!! Monday the Dripper Pro arrives from Greece.

Big thanks to all at ECF for the purchasing advice and makeing my vapor experience a great one early on.

Will be purchasing another Provari for sure but may wait a few months to see if a newer version is released or info on a possible version 3 is leaked.

Nice! I think I ordered from the same batch, so mine should be almost identical. One of the indents is different? Who cares?

oh in my last pic? No that's just a funny spot from the picture, maybe the flash,I never was good with photo skills). Indents are perfect... Not abnormal.

That's it then. This is the last sign of Armageddon. A flawed Provari. The end is near! repent!!!!

yeah the blemished mods are basically just provape's welfare system for people that can't afford their products. Sometimes they ship out with no blemish what so ever. Reosmods does the same thing. Sometimes you get a microscratch in the endcaps, or a little bump in the paint, and thats it. :p I bet they DO go over them with a magnifying glass, I wouldn't be surprised. They could just polish them up or put them through the paint line again but they put em up for people like me that can't afford a $180 mod. Rarely is the blemish so bad that you'd regret going with a blemished mod. But obviously if you can afford to support the business with a brand new mod, please do. Leave the blemished mod listings for people waiting months to save up and order the color they want.

& congratulations man. Welcome to provari ownership. Best regulated mod on the market.
You made the right decision my friend. Now you can enjoy that mod for years to come.
Mine is coming up on 2.5 years I believe. :p

Like I said, they don't do that. They'd rather mark down a PV with a scuff on the cap than assemble an entire PV full of blemishes. Thats good business practice and its good heart. They don't want to have blemished mods on their site that would make anyone feel regretful for buying one after receiving it. If you want to pay WAY less, then get a blemished provari from the classifieds here on ECF for 100 bucks or whatever. Although, badly blemished provaris still go for $140-$150 in the ECF classifieds, so idk. lol.

My Provari is all kinds of scratched up and I bet I could sell it within 24 hours in the classifieds here for no less than $150usd. People pay almost normal price for blemished Provari's in the ECF classifieds because you don't have to wait the 3-4 days handling time before it ships.. & because every dollar off counts. Its an interesting phenomina. I see used Provari's in good condition sell for the same price they sell for on the Provape website simply because they are skipping the handling time.
