I think Provari haters are just mad because they cannot afford one and hate people who can.

I drive a ford, I hate people who drive a Ferrari maybe someday I will have a Ferrari and we can be like bestus friends, until then I hate them. While vaping on my Provari.
You could try the affordable Ferrari: Fiat 500.

No kidding,,,,,this is ridiculous,,,,,,,it's like a room full of toddlers arguing over a lego. I like what I like and I spent what I spent, and it's no better than anyone else's for anyone BUT ME.

when someone asks me for my opinion on what a good PV is, I'm going to tell them what I think,,,what they GET is totally up to them.

geez.

I am just bored, nothing draws me to these slap fights faster than boredom.

I honestly do not care what somebody buys or uses. I hope they get something they like and can be happy with it. I also do not care about the comparisons. They are all different, by the the time it is done I may even have one of each. Except for a Reo, why would I want one of them silly things? Dripping while driving with your knees with one eye on the road and one on the rda is much much better.

Anyone can afford a Provari. They're like a fraction of the cost of cigarettes. More cost up front, but a fraction of the cost in a month or two's time for most former smokers.

Edit: I know your post wasn't serious. It just got me thinking about the cost vs savings aspect of it anyway lol.

That is relative. Some people smoked bargain basement rollies. (nothing wrong with that) some smoked brand name
ready rolls. Some couldn't afford to smoke and did, some could afford it but are now looking to save money.

I am fortunate and do not have to save the money that I was spending on name brands. I buy what I want when it catches my eye and try to stay within what I was paying for 7$ packs and 6$ rolls of Cope.

It is different for everyone, hilarious and entertaining when people get so worked up over what is best for who.

Buy what you want or can afford and be happy with it.

I agree with you! I definitely know people who would have a hard time affording one. I should have said most people instead of anyone lol. But that goes along with the up front cost vs what is spent later on. If someone can only afford roll ups and they want a Provari, it just takes them longer to save for it. :) I'm pro whatever makes people happy and healthy, whether it's a $200 light sabre or $15 Ego.

Me too but one of my many flaws (joke i have none) is that I love internet slap fights, so I do what I can to egg them on.

I try to be helpful if it is a serious discussion, mine is bigger than yours are never serious discussions.

This whole thread reeks of the Mac vs PC and Android vs iOS debates that plague the interwebs on an astronomical scale.

It's my personal opinion (opinion being the important word here) that, as with the Mac vs PC arguments, debating such issues is pointless. You cant really debate subjective things such as this - personal preference is what's going to rule outright. What works for some, doesn't for others. So somebody has a Provari. That doesn't make them stuck up or superior, it just means that they like the product and it works for them. I have an MVP, who cares?! It's personal preference. I liked and still like the product.

C'mon guys, enough of this now. I fear it could give a rather negative impression to the newer members (which I am one of) - it's not the friendliest of threads and thus, when reading this, the forum doesn't look like the friendliest of places to be. And in retrospect, shouldn't all Vapers be happy about an ever-expanding community and understanding of e-cigs and Vaping?

Just my two cents, is all.

why does everyone act like a Provari costs a thousand dollars or something????? there are plenty of much MUCH more expensive mods to pick on,,,,,,,

Because they are just "cheapskates" in reality...........You get what you pay for......

I can agree with you to some point as they both produce vapor....
But its the build quality that concerns me....Heavyweight vs. Lightweight.....Heavyweight comes out on top for the most part....IMO

I'm askarededed of batteries after an incident two years ago in my rv.

Last Spring I bought a cute little purple Vision Spinner. I was all yay pretty colors. Not long after I bought it, the button wouldn't turn off after I was done pressing it. I got all paranoid because of reading about battery explosions and threw it on the floor in the hall so the battery could die out. My husband walked by and saw it laying on the floor. He's like why is that there? I'm like because I don't want it to explode in anyone's face. He's like :blink: ok then and walked away. :laugh: That stupid battery did it 2 more times before I finally tossed it in the trash.

That's a big reason why I wanted to upgrade from the Twists we got when we started - the boyfriend got me really paranoid about the battery. :p And there was nothing wrong with ours, I've since loaned it to my neighbor (with lots of warnings about not charging it unattended, take it off the charger as soon as it's done, etc. etc.)

But - your Innokin's have batteries too, whether they are replaceable or not. With the same risks as any other battery.

Blasphemy! Innokin is manufactured by unicorns using only the purest rainbows. Their batteries are safer than drinking 15,000 year old water extracted from the bottom of a glacier. :p
