Is the istick the new Provari?

Provari's & their owners get bashed & ridiculed because;

A lot of us have been around long enough to remember the GG bashing. The Provari wasn't even on the drawing board yet.

But, don't worry .... the Provari can take the bashing. It really doesn't mind all the free advertising.

The GG bashing started in early 2010'ish and if I remember correctly the GG users were mainly responsible for that. They would go into other forum areas starting crud. I believe they would proudly proclaim they were 'drinking the koolaid' looking to start arguments..

I don't recall Provari owners doing anything like that..

People still buy Provaris? I thought we finished with the king of kings a year ago.

The higher they push these devices - the more failures you will have.

Naa, only the cloud chasers and 26g users think they died the rest of the vapors happily run their Kayfuns at 11 watts lol

You mean the threads wore out? Been wondering about that, but it hasn't been an issue on my 6 month old 20w yet. Threads are still nice and smooth. Granted, it's my 'go to work mod', so I only screw/unscrew for filling.

Can's say the same for my IPV 3, though in all fairness I'm what you might call an obsessive tank switcher with that one. At 6 months the threads are pretty much shot. Not a problem, working fine with the 510/510 that came with the Istick.

Anyway, yeah... 510/510 adapter. There's one in the box. Problem solved.

I think that's what happened, the threads just wore out. Shame though, I loved the size of the battery and how it felt in my hand.

The iStick is the new entry level device.

They really only get flak when they bring the "it's good enough for me so it's good enough for you" mantra.
Not everyone is satisfied with 12 watts.

What's only 12 watts?

Strange. I am a 8.5 watt on a single 1.5-2.1 coil (32g). I wouldn't call that cloud chasing or 26g.

I just hadn't seen the Provarnati around like previously. I figured all the devices finally came into that +/- .000000001 difference the Provari had over others.

Oh and my email has been going bonkers with Provari sales. It was never like that 2-3 years ago.

 

[stevegmu]

What devices would these be? Ones with janky connections and threads, ones which blow up, ones which leak through the 510 connection, ones with boards which shouldn't have been released yet?...

Yup they complain when they are not on sale and complain when they are on sale. Go figure.

Don't bother, it's just bait.

You can keep all of em, mechs are superior anyways

Who's complaining?

If me? nah.. I don't give a crap what anyone else uses. You can own 200 of them for all I care. Not sure how many orifices you have... but whatever it's your cash.

I do remember when Provape hardly ran any sales.. The only "sales" were blemished. I just got one (email) today at 1.11. Considering there was a very minimal difference in the quality of the vape when I tried one 2 years ago.. I was assuming the regulated devices out have caught up to them. That and this is the first Provari thread I have seen in a while.

 

[ScandaLeX]

That's a matter of personal opinion.

Awww no one fell for my mech flame lol


Anyways, I'm sure they feels the pressure from all these latest chips, but its kinda their fault. People asked for vw for well over a year maybe almost 2.

But we are only at this point powerwise because China doesn't play by the rules they really didn't have any decent chips until after they cracked the DNA, so it is something to keep in mind when claiming China caught up and then surpassed everyone, they only did so stealing others work.
( just noticed fasttech has youde goblin clones, even their own brothers aren't safe)

Forgetting the power part, I'm still struggling to understand the attraction to these ugly plastic boxes lol


Edit: (Wow can't believe they shadow banned the boys from Washington like that)

Blank post. I had to quote this to see it.

You need to start without using Provape as the first word.

This thread has been mild from other Provape or Provari vs (whatever). Do not buy a Provari if chasing clouds are your thing. We know it's the wrong mod for cloud chasing. Don't buy a Provari if you think they are ripping you with the price. Why buy a Provari? Buy a Provari if 15-20 watts is fine with you. Buy a Provari if you value safety, quality, workmanship, and a company who offers a one year warranty and will fix your mod no matter what's wrong with it, after the warranty expires.

As far as a Provari not being able to stand with a Kayfun attached. Below are two Provari's with two Kayfuns attached.

Thanks for posting that, Pingy. I could not understand the question at all! Why I wonder, would the poster think a Provi wouldn't stand?

I don't have a Provari but I don't understand why these types of threads ALWAYS involve them.


It did use to be much worse though. Some of those anti Provari threads would get seriously wild and crazy..

Ahhhhhh...... the good ole daze.

Well I've been around since 2009 and I can't remember why or when it started but Provari does get included in these types of threads far more often than others for some odd reason.

Who knows. I think it was because the Provi always had the aura of being the Cadillac of devices. It set some sort of standard and is STILL used in comparisons, be it size, or functionality. Dunno.

People still buy Provaris? I thought we finished with the king of kings a year ago.

Yes, people still buy Provis.

How's come your post did not appear? I took Scandal's advice and quoted you just to see it.
