Thanks for the information. I did order a blue Provari with blue display options. I just assumed those options cost them more so they cost me more. I did think the 18650 extender was a bit over priced.

As for the bottom feed Reo info, a special thanks for the education. I'm still learning and appreciate any and all useful info.

This was Funny...

I read the First 10 or so Posts to see if the thread Got Off to a Civil Tone. It Did. So I skipped to the Last Page to see if you got one or Not.

Sounds like you did. Right On.

I have Two, a Regular and a Mini, and have been Extremely Happy with Both.

Let us know what you think when Yours arrives.

I have a Regular (blue) and a Mini (black), too. I've been extremely happy with mine. In fact, they are my favorite, most used APVs that I own.

I'm giving serious thought to ordering a blue Provari. I've read lots of good things about the Provari but am still hesitant to pop that much cash on a mod. I like the fact that it's American made but is it really that much better to warrant the price?

Simply..........Yes!!! :vapor:

I'll say no here... I started with one and while it was well built and easy enough to use, a mech with a kick will give you consistant hits out of your batteries, or you can go lower resistance than a provari would allow (without a kick). Provari is basically a multimeter and vv kick built into a mod- convenient for the average user, but not for me, and therefore not worth the price imo.

Thanks. I will probably try out a mech at some point. As I mentioned earlier, I do most of my vaping while driving my truck so convenience and ease of use are important to me. Something like a mech, or something more "fiddly" might be fun for when I'm not driving.

Yes, it's definitely worth it. Have a lot of mods that cost >$200. While they are all nice to have and collect... The Provari which is the least expensive of my mods works day in and day out with very little maintenance. I've had it the longest, and I still use it daily, and it works just as it did the first day I received it.

I've been thinking about a Provari also, but I noticed a lot of these posters who rave about it post a link to Provari with a "shareasale" URL, rather than send you straight to the vendor site. I Googled it and it turns out it's some marketing thing where they get a commission, so I wonder if the hype is, well, just hype.

I have never heard this. I have never received a penny from ProVape.

I don't appreciate the insinuation based on a hokey connection that you just described in the vaguest possible terms.

Can you please elaborate on that, because the only references I've ever known were to WWW.provape.com. And I may be wrong but I don't believe they pay commission for.referrals.

Again, I could be wrong so am.genuinely interested to examine the evidence you refer to.

And it ain't just hype. I assure of that. I too am the happy owner of numerous more expensive mods, yet never go a day without grabbing a Provari. Just my opinion, of course.

If you type "Provari" in a post it automatically becomes a link. If you mouseover the link you will see the URL which goes via some shareasale site. Apparently it is some commision for clicks kind of thing. I thought that some users were putting that in themselves, but it turns out it is the site that is doing it. I guess they make money if someone clicks on the link. That's what it seems like based on what I read on the Shareasale site. I didn't mean to offend anyone, apologies if I did. I'm pretty close to buying one but it kind of put me off.

ECF rewrites links to some sites. Just hover over the most recent provape link and see the sharesale if your browser is set to show exact links on the bottom of the page. It is fair to me, this site brings many vendors increased sales. ECF gets a few pennies to keep this forum up and running.

Yeah I see that now, I guess it creates links out of some keywords as well. I misinterpreted what it was, my fault. Sorry about that.

As a fairly new vaper I realized quickly from posts on this forum and the Provape site that the Provari is a great device. I went straight from ego type devices to it, and couldn't be happier. Excellent threading and the ability to check the resistance of my coils is something I really love. I know I could get those features at a lesser cost but I believe in buying top quality when I can. Just like my tools for my work.

lets just end it here.

you're on the go and convenience, reliability, and sturdiness is what you need. you don't need a mech AT ALL. you're going to waste so much time trying to figure it out when all you want to do is just vape and get on with your life.

i love mechs and provaris but damn mechs can be so damn time consuming: rebuilding, dripping, wiping off condensation build up and/or leaks, and etc. even after all the rebuilding work it can still suck. forgetaboutit!!

all this man wants to do is VAPE! i say get that provari. it will last a looooooooong time if you take care of it. if you've got the money, why not? trust me, its a fine fine device.

and i dont work for provari nor do they pay me. we're not some provari-cult here. its just that awesome and its track record is proven. until something else could be dropped from a moving car, lost in a river, and whatever extreme scenario and still work, provari's still got the crown.

If you see that on ECF it should be reported. It is clearly against ECF rules....and a major offense.

People recommend Provari for several reasons. It is not hype for someone to like their device and tell people, whether they bought it on recommendation or after studying and learning why it is one heck of a good vaping machine with an excellent reputation.
