From my LT, that's pretty much my only thing I would change with my ProVari, other than that I'm very glad that I bought this thing, it is a beast for sure!
I miss the button click...

Do you mean the voltage +/- buttons? I don't hear or feel a mechanical 'click' when I activate mine so I assume this is what you mean.
I was thinking I'd really miss them too, but experience so far has shown me that I really am not changing the voltage that often, and when I do, hitting the single button repeatedly to get to menus and change settings isn't as tedious as it seemed from a distance/without the unit in my hand. Having said that, even if I did find it annoying, the quality of the vape / the unit itself is so terrific that it more than compensates for that 'usability issue', in my personal opinion...

Let me tell you about a Provape/Provari button..... I had a Provape1 I used for over 2 years... After 10s of thousands of presses, it retained its same feel with no misfires...............
I have no doubt as to the quality of the switch / its' lifetime on the Vari versus the LT! And thanks for sharing your experience; the only concern I had was whether it would lose its' springiness over time, and how long that time was on average... I've got the warranty either way, and huge amounts of confidence, am just wondering....
Cool, I figured as much but it is always good to hear real world usage etc. Thanks

I've had my first ProVari for 18 months now. The feel of the button is still the same as when I first bought it
No I was referring to the firing button lol. Not the voltate up and down buttons.
Provari's design and ergonomics never changed atleast on the standard version.
I personally don't want (atleast on the standard) any changes at all even if it reaches version 100.
well i guess no substantial changes other than using a thinner 510 atty connection on the newer version.

Oh weird. I guess both of mine are knockoffs maybe, as neither fire button does anything I would describe as a click.

Working with electronic componants i like the feel of the fire tact switch . Cheap tact switches are usually real clicky(radioshack specials) while the more expensive ones are usually a smooth feel like on the provari. In my experience the clicky buttons break eventually while the smooth feels the same 10 years later.
Exception to the rule: IBM model 101 keyboards (from the PC XT), or old school Keytronics (they still make these, they are my favorite and I can do 100-120wpm on it. I type slower on and dislike most modern mushy keyboards. The older keyswitches are rated in millions of keypresses if I'm not mistaken. I doubt newer ones are. Kinda OT and kinda not LOL
Having said that I agree I love the button feel on the ProVari.

Your a man after my own heart, I own an original 1991 IBM white label, M84 space saver, clicky keyboard... Bought it on e-bay a couple of years ago, it was New-in-the-box when I got it.... Nothing like positive key strokes for fast typing........

Completely agree. Thankfully new units are available, some using the original switches , should your current one fail.
