Me too. Yesterday I put 1 or 2 thousand in the cart, no problem. This morning they disappear. Poof. I was going to order another one today. :(

I'm thinking that Provape made this move was in anticipation of the FDA registration requirement for US ecig manufacturers that was originally 12/31/2016. Even though that date recently got moved forward six months they likely didn't plan on registering the 2.5 and Classic. That would help explain the recent price drop to blowout levels. Perhaps remaining stock will be retained for warranty purposes or overseas sales.

In any case, I'm thankful there was a long period of time for us to gather the ones we have for pennies on the dollar. I have no need to buy another regulated mod. Ever.

just ordered ten 2.5 ProVarinati end caps, 20 extra springs and some 18350 batteries.

IMO, the 2.5 ProVari is the most reliable device to survive a true Vapocalypse.

Did not see your post, sounds plausible as well

I'm suggesting that since 2.5 and Classic are no longer listed on the drop down menu for vaporizers that any remaining stock and parts are being held for the Maytag Repairman's parts supply cabinet(s).:laugh:

Here's an early pic of my first one...:)...still wrapped and I'm vaping with it today!

i think the next month will tell us whats up on the 2.5...if nothing...then game over....if we suddenly see a crop of them appear then the provape elves are making them as we speak "OR" they are laying low for a little to drive up the demand again..all conjecture;) of course

I am inclined to agree with you, Willy. You don't do a 'blow out' price cut to a product and expect to ever sell it at normal retail again. I am just thankful that I received two more 2.5 Minis from Fedex today.

I was going to take two of mine to Jamaica with me but decided to go with two box mods instead. Don't want to risk losing one at customs (doubt it would happen) and I have larger capacity batteries for the boxes
