I agree. These things are meant to be work horses. You don't leave your cell phone at home just because it cost a bit of money do you?
I can see leaving a hard to come by item or limited edition item at home though.

People who want their daily-use tools--be they machinist or woodworking tools, motorcycles, handguns or PVs--to look like they JUST bought them, despite using them for years, are more concerned with the looks and status of the object than it's utility and usefulness.
The occasional scratch, ding, finish wear and patina is a sign of character, and tells the world that a tool is, in fact, a trusted friend and ally--not just an expensive piece of jewelry that you have so you can show it off.
Sort of like the difference in attitude between Triumph owners and Harley owners...

I agree, a provari is meant to be used. I do understand people leaving the gold provari at home except for special occasions though. Same reason people don't wear dress shoes to play softball.
I wore gator skin loafers with home made cleat bottoms to play softball before wearing gator skin loafers with home made cleat bottoms to play softball became mainstream.

Or Harley, Honda, lots of others that don't have a BEEMER. I don't see why people have to get an attitude over any of it. We're all just trying to do the same thing in the long run.
If I had a job out of the home I'd bring it; but I would bring the Ego for travel since I walk/public transit just about everywhere and it rains, a lot. I'm more concerned with actual damage to the internals.
Hey BB, nice shots. I work 12hr night shift in a factory and I carry mine every single working night.
Mine is satin white though so I hope you'll forgive me hiding it in a leather sleeve. Makes it alot easier to attach to my belt loop with a snaplink.
There's an ongoing joke at work that I dug this thing out from some UFO wreckage after it crashed in the woods behind my house.
cheers,

I don't have fear of taking any of my mods anywhere. I don't really use the vtube anymore, but I honesly would worry more about breaking that than the provari. If I drop them both, one of them will for sure survive. One, I am not sure.
Have keep mine with me all the time at work at home out with the kids, I didnt buy it to showcase it I bought it to VAPE!
well some of us can't do that. some of us see the near 200 dollar price tag and thats a lot of money to us. so naturally we're going to be cautious of bruising it when it cost us an entire weeks pay. I'm jobless at the moment but every job ive had was 8.25 an hour. thats minimum wage in my state. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, at 8.25 an hour gets me 280 before taxes. So a provari is nearly a weeks pay. for that reason... I'd rather use my less expensive mods than take out a provari, if I owned one. but if the price was right, I would totally buy a beat up and scratched or dented up provari, just because I know it'll work well.
I don't take mine to work because it's bigger than I prefer to carry in my pockets. I carry a KGO in my shirt pocket for portability and use the Provari at home or in the car on long drives. I sure wouldn't worry about breaking it - it's a lot more durable than my KGO's and Twists. One really hard drop onto concrete settled THAT question.
Yeah……I don't get it either. My new Provari is going to be very happy at home in my pocket. Then again, I'm a coder……I don't really interact much with heavy machinery.
I take my Provari to work every day, I get a 15 min break after every hour of work, so I just grab my Provari from my locker and head outside to vape away.
I've done more damage to my Provari at home than I have at work. I dropped it 2 weeks ago in my driveway and shattered my quartz tank for my zap, scuffed up the extension cap a little. I've also dropped it getting out of the car and scratched up the top cap as well. However my Provari is a tank, still works like day 1 no issues whatsoever, not 1 problem.
I just ordered a Mini White and some replacement quartz tanks so when it arrives I'll be posting my Black V2 with Blue LED, extension cap and D.I.D. as a combo on the classys for probably $250 shipped.
