Ha Ha, I keep putting the Sangria Purple in my cart, then emptying it. I know I'll kick myself if'n I don't get one, but really can't justify it no way no how:laugh::facepalm:

I'm just really happy and grateful that ProVape made these bargains available to us! :thumbs:

EDIT: Sangria Purple mini and extender cap just ordered :facepalm::vapor::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm::facepalm: There is no hope...

I see no benefit paying $25 for the full P3 treatment on a 2.5 unless you have P3 tanks. The tank ring looks great with bigger tanks and I only need 1-2 rings total for all of my 2.5's. The ring doesn't spin at all with my full size Nautilus tanks and the original tapered ring looks great with my Nautilus Minis.

To each their own, but adding $25 to a $30 tank without owning P3 threads tanks seems to be an overly pricy "upgrade". YMMV. :)

It's all about choices. When I think of buying a new ProVari my mind hangs onto the fact this used to be a $179.99 mod. My first 2 I paid that price so I'm not going to squeal about paying $30 now for the mod + $20 for the P3 top cap.

One of my ProVari is $517 total- mod, tank & accessories so what's $20 for a top cap?
Besides all mine are slanted to date so this'll be the only one with the P3 top cap. I don't have a P3 atty to put on it but that's OK by me.

Lex, I GET it! I remember the prices from way back when too! And we paid them gleefully. Wow.

Good for you! Another congrats is in order for your first flat top. I didn't think it was that big of a deal -- until I got my first one..... and that isn't to say that I don't like the slants, because I do, but it's wonderful to have OPTIONS!!

My first APV was a chrome Provari v2 that I bought used off Craig's list for $100 over three years ago (I think it was a blem because the laser engraved Provari logo is very faint). I have an inexpensive regulated box mod that I got in an ECF CoOp, but otherwise all of my other mods are mechanical and that's pretty much what I use. I've gone to the Provape website over the years and carted a P3 during a sale and a few blems, but I never committed. I caught wind of the current deals and I'm pretty excited for my GMZ Mini with P3 top cap and 18490 extension cap to ship. I added some options that raised the price, but it's a great deal and still cheaper than what I paid for my v2 that I'm using now after much neglect in anticipation of my second Provari.

I paid that much for two or three of mine also, makes it easier to stockpile at $30, lol!! I want to buy a couple more but, seriously, why???? How many are enough?? Do I need to treat them as Pokemon and catch em all??

Forgive me for not having read all the posts, but I saw some discussing the "dumping" concept (of older tubes, etc..).

I'm not quite yet sold that this is what's happening here. It might be, but there are other possibilities too. The fact that colors & options keep re-appearing have me wondering if this isn't a more viable, longer-term plan/solution.

The fact is that ProVape is now selling to people who had absolutely refused to buy from the previously (they're all over various threads on ECF too). Their sales numbers are almost certainly going through the (comparative) roof. If there are any positive margins at all with these blems, they've hit paydirt (and GOOD for them!).

So, I guess time will tell. But curious, I am.

Yup, remember when 150$ blems and a Holiday sale would get us all crazy? These things are being offered to us right now at 75-80% off original retail pricing:shock::eek:

And look at just one. The Gold ZenKote actually INCLUDES the extension cap. So about $38 walks you out the door for one, and the "per" number goes down if you get a couple/few. This for a finish that is basically impervious to damage.

Amazing. Thank you, ProVape.

I bought a gold when it was $49 last Monday. It's so beautiful!! It's the only one I would consider having two of! :)

I have a mini black/red and it's a nice combo. I never got the red extension cap and I'm not sure if I will or not.

Right now my maybe list is a spare black both sizes, gold both sizes, mini pearl and dragon. Unless I stay away from ECF and Provape, or they all sell out fast, I will most certainly buckle for a couple more!

We think the same. :)

I did buy 2 gold Zenkote 2.5's and found a black/red in the classies for super cheap a few weeks ago. Both look fantastic. I also have a Satin silver Mini and it also looks great.

I have my eye on a GMZ in full size and Mini and maybe a blue or pink for my wife. The only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger is that I don't really think I NEED 7 2.5's. Need vs. want as usual but I am a sucker for a great deal.:eek:

My husband leaves for Haiti next week, I'm probably holding off until then, lmao! Easier to hide purchases with him gone!
