UPDATE - I received my Indulgence V3 from dragonflyecigs today, I am not a happy camper. It appears to be used and it's defective. Scratches all over the tube and even a dent. The 510 connector and the button have juice residue all over. When inserting the battery the it shorts out and heats up the tube without even touching the fire button. I submitted a ticket asking for a refund and return shipping. Hopefully they'll oblige. This is my first experience with them, I'll keep you updated...
Edit - They contacted me and apologized for the defect issue and assured me that it was new. They also agreed to give me a full refund. I'm waiting for the RMA. It seems like they are willing to take care of me.

you could also get a bombshell, they are beautiful mods still being made in the USA. idk why theyve been getting neglected by people trying to help new members lately. bombshells are awesome. i'm thinking about getting one myself. however they only take 2 types of battery, the 18650 and the 6v stacked, stacked unrecommended of course.
apparently the button housing and wiring is poor in the bombshell as well.
my old roommate has one and loves it. look up the thread bombshell vs chuck
apple products might be made in china but they served the purpose i was lookign for in my analogy.
I think a lot of people posting here have missed your thread where you almost quit vaping since it can be so frickin hard for you to get vaping gear. For THIS reason, I would personally suggest a nice, rugged device and not a Bolt or Lavatube. Get a Silver Bullet or a Smoktech Telescope. They will both last you forever. If it's going to be a struggle for you to get devices, you might as well not buy one that could break a few weeks after buying it. Not that a SB or Telescope can't have issues with them, it's just much, MUCH less likely. The Telescope being mechanical might be your best bet. It's cheap, but has no wires or anything. Just a few sturdy metal parts that make it run, I mean there is almost NOTHING to a mech mod. Check out this picture of my GG.
I didn't want to take the button off because I have it nice and snug, but that's it, 4 parts. There is hardly anything to fail on it. Just the top cap/510 connector, bottom cap/spring/side vent holes, the tube and the button. No wires, or any other parts to fail. Worst case scenario, if the spring in the button somehow breaks(not sure how that would be possible) or wears out in 10 years, I can pop one out of a ball point pen and go to town. If the spring collapses I can replace it or the bottom cap(not sure if there's a way to replace just the spring, but i'm sure there is). Just a thought. The Silver Bullet, though not mechanical, is a tank. I don't want to know WHAT you would have to do to break it(aside from it falling in the ocean on your boat, but I don't see you ever finding a PV again after that)
Just food for thought.

Yep,you're correct.
I got my replacement from Mountain Vapor and it's exactly what I was looking for. Cheap, rather small, and works fine.
I got a nice varitube kit from ivape.net.
I don't think they have the full kits available anymore, but you can still get the mod itself cheap. I will say that I am happy with what I got (for the price it was an amazing deal), and I got it fast!

It's been a month now. Is this still working well. I was thinking of buying one.
Yes it works fine, on some clearos I have to "nudge" the center post up a bit on the battery for it to make contact, but yes it works great
TLDR, but if it hasn't been mentioned yet, check out the VAMO. For $50, you can have VV and VW. It does everything the provari does but with that awesome chinese quality But seriously, it's been great for me so far. It takes 18650s and 18350s, depending on how long you want it to be (has a screw in length adjuster), or you can even use 2 18350s stacked.
**edit** I would also stay away from anything made my smoktech. The gripper is junk, and you'll find anybody who owns one who would disagree with that. My Dad has a telescope by them, and he says it's very cheaply made as well.

OKC Vapes - Oklahoma's Premier Supplier of Electronic Cigarettes, E-Liquid, and Accessories! is the link similar to the one I have, only with blue buttons instead of the black ones I got.
I haven't heard too many good things about the telescope. The gripper has mixed reviews. I have a Vmax, and I don't have any problems with it. It's the newer version that defaults to 3 v (not 5-good lord!), and I was liking it a lot and just getting used to the menu system...and then I got my ProVari in the mail...
I want to own one nice mod.
I don't need variable voltage or wattage as I have a lavatube and never go above 4.0.
I was looking at the Legacy by Puresmoker, but I am too cheap to spend roughly $100.00

This little $17.00 Indulgence (unbranded) works fine, which brings me to a question.
3.7 volt mods, no kick, does one operate (hit) better than the next?

I have been looking at:

PureSmoker LEGACY Standard [18650]
and the telescope, but I'll stay away from it.
