notice the international shipping... ripoff!!! a provari warranty means squat to me which is why i opt out, ill take my vmax v2 and use it till i either quit vaping or it blows up, but the way this thing is built it makes a provari oldhat, as far as i'm concerned they have alot of catching up to do, everyone goes on about how "tough" they are, i take care of my things so that isn't a selling feature to me, brass vs SS, that means nothing brass is metal, a strong metal, the GG is brass and if imeos makes it out of brass it's good for me, as far as provari if you want my cash you better be cutting edge for that kind of money and this world moves fast

we're all entitled to buy whatever we'd like. I was once completely against the provari, and now I own one.

as far as the provari being "old" i definitely don't see them that way. as far as I know they still have more safety and regulatory features as compared to any VV tube mod on the open market. If you go to the smoktech website with the Zmax description up, and then also have the provape website up with the provari description, and compare, you'll see what I mean. so, idk, idk, I'm going by what I've seen and read and heard, and the Provari is definitely my preferred device. for now.

I think the main reason I finally got the Provari is....

I'm tired of being a China test monkey....I see V1 and steer clear....I see V2 2 weeks later and think 'OK, maybe they have it all fixed' but NO its a V1 with a hole in the battery cap.....Provari is proven to work and built to last, and I wont have to get all new vape gear (Cartos, atomizers etc) because the Voltage is what it says!!!

Just cant wait till it gets here!

you can't beat a PV that you can get anything that breaks, scratches, or dents on it... REPAIRED. You can't. I really don't care what anyone says lol. That peace of mind is priceless. If my screen cracks, its $15 to repair it. If I dent the body, its $45 to replace it. If I drop it and the internals break, I can have them repaired for $30 or replaced for $65... I mean, this sold me. Not to mention that for the first year (or two years for an extra $20) any repair or tune up is free + shipping? WHAT? beat that. Please. I'm begging you all. Find me another VV PV that has that same peace of mind? because I want it. I want another VV PV that has a warranty like the provari has. Even if its a fixed volt PV. Someone please help me find another PV with a warranty or repair service similar to the provari.

Why? Out of fear of losing it or having it get stolen?

Both, and at work, I move around quite a bit in the plant (on call) - as I'm working I tend to forget things when I set them down. I've already lost a couple eGo's that way (not to mention tools, too) - set them down, did some work, forgot it, went back to get it; gone!

I know all about losing your tools haha. thats the worst. then no one lets you use the ones they found. I worked with this 30 year old with 3 kids.. he had to be the most immature person I've met in years. I felt bad for his kids. I wouldn't take my provari to work if i was laboring either. And I once had a BRAND NEW $30 bag of tobacco, my rolling machine, and my box of tubes, stolen. :/

Just got my Provari in the mail, and all I can say is......"Why did I wait soooo long!?" This is simply the best device I have ever used, and the Pro-V tank that was included in the deal looks great! Thanks for everyones comments to get me to finally push the button...now to try and find a deal for my wife (Maybe a mini)
