Although I recommend the Bolt and Provari all of the time, I think that there are many, many other routes to go when starting out- and many, many suppliers that sell reputable merch. In the past 6 months alone, I've received orders from at least 15 different suppliers, and the majority of the stuff I ordered came as-expected, sometimes better.
In reality, over the past 4 years, the higher priced mods have not been any more or less consistent in perceived quality (kind of a measure of what you paid for a device, how well it works, and what it's made of/how well it's made) than the Chinese. I think that Chinese devices have, these days, achieved a higher value-per-dollar, compared to the expensive stuff.
That being said, you cant make a Honda civic into a Ferrari.
Wanna bet!
Supporting Members do not see the ads that non-supporting members do. These ads are for our Registered Suppliers.
god how do I get to be a supported member please tell me how,to many adds for garbage
So people who would know this stuff is garbage do not see it and people who are new here and dont know its garbage do see it,and buy this junk like I did.Hmmm maybe whos ever in charge should fix that.I mean basicaly the real hardheads on here have no idea what this forum is presenting to new vapors.Wow
I only use big battery mods, but some people like the form and function of their ego's or their 808's, or whatever it is they happen to be using. Great that you are happy with your bolt, but do not think it doesn't have any issues either. The forum is full of posts where people have had problems with them.
Add to that they now have bolts that are made of plastic. I would rather have a built in battery than a plastic pv. Again personal choice.
You can however get something like a cheap telescope, fully mechanical that will allow use of ego threaded stuff for around the same price. With that you have the added benefit of using different sized batteries
As I have already said there is a lot of people who have had issues with the bolt, many of them has to do with the way that wire runs in it.
Boss, I think you're just a bit too sharp and straight for this crowd
I find some validity to your opinion, as well as most of the other poster's comments.I've only been vaping for about 4 months now, but watched family members throw away about a thousand dollars (at least) on the cheap stuff. I started out with the eGo/510 900mah passthoughs and tried (and still use) all the vivi variants (nova,mini,thank,stardust, etc). After reading a *lot* on ECF, I had the cash and decided to do what so many before you have said and I've never been happier. I bought a provari and a some decent RBAs.
That said, I think everyone has a valid point: "You get what you pay for". I do agree there is some "branding" going on, and sometimes they may be a bit pricey but most are just Connoisseurs of their craft; they're not out to screw anyone out of their money. I've read time and again how one product sucks and not to buy it. I went and bought it anyway, since hearing what one individual states about one product or the other is much like people talking about different brands of wine. It may taste great to me, but the next guy may spit it out in disgust.
I'm the sort that likes to DIY, but I prefer my PV to be more like a tool, not a gadget with a bunch of features. I want it to function simply and stable. That's how I chose my PV setup. I'm still looking for "the one" RBA that works best for me, but right now I'm pleased with my AGA Hydra and Tiamat. I've heard good and bad about them and found they are both very good for me. I found them for less than 30usd and I think that's a very fair price. I've purchased RBAs in the 20usd range and although they were incredibly good vapes, they were less reliable than most of my vivis. And that's my two cent opinion folks

A Provari or a Bolt??
Might I suggest reading all 888 pages of this thread. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/225727-pictures-your-setup.html There is a great big world out there to be explored. You might even find an alternative to a Provari or a Bolt!

aahhh ok, was a on and off lurker for a long time but when I finally joined I was a supporting member almost immediately so I dont think i ever saw them.
It is suggestion for NEW people to get a good starter item and not waste a bunch of money that is all.I myself now know there is all kinds of good stuff but once again I posted this for new people because of all the crappy adds leading them into overpriced items and junk that are plain as day at the top of every ecig forum page.I now know you cant see them.but I can and here is one ECig Super Store | Compare Prices On Ecig Starter Kits go check them out there eliquid is kosher lol would you send your friend here to buy a pv,well would you.
personally I would never recommend a cheap bolt to start with. to each his own.
Again, the ads are for our Registered Suppliers.
They will not be going away, they are part of what keeps this forum running.

the site you just linked to offers warranty's a support phone number, and international shipping which is more then some of the other vendors are willing to offer. so its a one man gig, does that instantly make him a ripoff because he didnt spend a fortune on webpage design?
Quit ragging on everything, do you email google everytime they show you an ad you think is a ripoff? none is forcing you to be here if your having such a problem with ecf and how they choose to pay the bills there are other less intrusive forums.
It's up to you as a consumer to do some simple research before you spend money. or are you the type that goes wow 5 dollar health insurance in my email? heck ya im gonna click this now!!!!!!
