Have it in the cart, nervous about dropping 2 c notes. HELP!!!

I was just as afraid.
I didn't really have extra $$$ to spend.
But I was using C-twists. When the batteries die
on those, you have to toss the entire unit.
I purchased two which cost me over $50.
Then I needed chargers and adapters.
Batteries for the Provari are about $12 each.
If you think vaping will work for you, in the LONG TERM, save yourself
much time and effort (and lots of money) and get one.
I just got mine yesterday. YES! I GOT THE PINK ONE FOR $135!!!!!
Just get one and be done with it.
It's a solidly built unit and the threads are as smooth as butter.

Buy once, cry once. Once you have it in hand, there won't be any regrets.

Now where have I heard that before? :D

It's so true. My two Provari's are my two best investments made in vaping. I have several mods accumulated from 1 1/2 years of vaping, and I use these two on a daily basis as my main vapes. Nothing else compares to them.

I'm rarely seen without one. I often state that when my children lay me down to rest forever, they will place one of my trusty Provari's in my hand, with the blinking light telling me its time to change it's battery.

    Im a new Provari owner, but Im probably going to sound like Ive had it forever.


    this is the APV IVe been looking for. I should have bought it in the first place and not thought twice. Everything about it exudes quality and elegance.

    Now, personally, I didnt ever think the Provari was "expensive". On the flipside, I saw the Vamos, the SMoktechs, etc, as "cheap". The Provari is not powerbuilt in an overseas factory by the lowest bidder with cheap materials. Its USA made with high quality materials. It is rugged as all hell, and you will almost be guaranteed not too break it. It RARELY happens.

    And when I got mine in hand, all of that was confirmed. It its not expensive, it is worth every penny of its price.

    If its an amount you can get on board with, you will not be let down by your decision. Ive only had mine a short while, and im already buying a second one. Gonna hold onto my other devices too, because why not.. but the Provari is my main vape.

    If you're in the market for a VV device, it would be hard to beat the provari. To add to what everyone else said...

    -Build quality is awesome
    -Threads are buttery smooth (I thought my zmax v3 had smooth threading)
    -Haven't had a misfire (I had that issue with my zmax which lead to the provari)
    -Battery seems to last longer
    -Voltage doesn't drop when you're battery is low (at least something I couldn't notice)
    -Lots of accessories are made for it so you can personalize this more than most VV devices out there.
    -I should have bought this to begin with and skipped the zmax.

    "I should have bought it in the first place and not thought twice."

    When folks hear a Provari owner say something like that, they think that we are elitist-snobs.
    They think that we are "know-it-alls" and that there must be a cheaper way.
    I was one of those folks.
    In the short term (a few months,) I was right. But looking at the long term, the Provari is the most cost-effective
    and satisfying solution.

    I actually told her last night, and she was like "And. I don't care what you spend your money on as long as the bills are paid. I spent $100 on shoes this month."

    Man I love that woman she's the best thing that ever happened to me, but she sure does have a lot of shoes. Her number of shoes tops the number of years she's been alive by a good bit.

    Wheew!!!!
    my heart is racing, my palms are sweating, I hope I don't pass out, and my credit card hurts.
    ORDER PLACED!!!!!!
    When will it get here?
    How long will it take?
    Do I have to charge the batteries first, or can I use it straight out of the box?
    Man I'm excited!!

    I ordered mine on a Wednesday, I think, so I didn't get it until the next Monday.
    I got the "standard" version with two AW 1100 mAh batteries.
    I also ordered the charger at the same time.
    I had to sign for the package (USPS) so you will need to hover around your
    mailbox, or else be forced to make a trip to your local Post Office.
    The first thing I did, after removing the bubble-wrap and drool all over it,
    was to plug in the charger and fire up the batteries. It only took about an
    hour for one of them, and about another 45 mins on the other.

    Enjoy your new toy. I am LOVING mine...

    My batteries were mostly charged, but I usually always throw my new batts on the charger. My charger has a voltage readout, so if they do come out of the mail with a full charge, Ill know, but almost always, they need some charging.

    But if your anxious, you can certainly pop a battery right in and get going.


    And yes, youll need to sign for it.


    As for shipping, the particular model I bought had a shipping quote of "2-3 days. It shipped the morning of the 3rd day.

    Well, I tracked it this morning and the expected delivery date is tomorrow. I'm not gonna hold my breath though and still plan on Tuesday, wish me luck that I have it for the long weekend.
    Bad thing is I'm setting up my electric meter base out on the farm tomorrow and won't be home to accept it. would a note on the mail box with my signature suffice the Mail carrier? The order doesn't say anything about sig required.
