Is V3 Imminent?

[Nailz]

Bought my 1st provari about 6 weeks ago, it does have the air slots

I do hope they do a V3, not because I want one, I'm very happy with mine, but if they bring out a V3, then maybe they will sell the rest of the 2.5's cheap and I can get another one at a steal

Who says ProVape's next PV release will even be a ProVari V3?

2.5.1? 2.6? 3.0? It works well, it sells well, why mess with it? The Provari has proven itself over and over again. The Provari is one of the very few mods that has flourished through the fads. Other than Reo what single series can say that? Zen? Nope!, Chi? No.

Previous paragraph withstanding I would love to squonk at 800hz, bring on the ReoVari joint venture! Make it in 18490 with Zencoat and watch the others fall.

fixed that for you.

Add a 15ml bottle and I'd be set for the weekend.

There's nothing stopping ProVape from supporting multiple PV product lines, is all I was saying..


I'm not sure if he's in partnership with anybody for this, but Zen has gone on record saying that he's been working on an ultra durable/rugged PV with all sorts of crazy parameters which include long-lasting battery life, cold temperatures, water submersible, etc., with the average vaper in mind who's also a weekend outdoor-adventurer type.

Does this sound like something ProVape would be interested in doing? Sort of like an "extreme" ProVari?

Zen & ProVape do have a history of working together...

 

[Riverboat]

Somehow I doubt Zen would want to partner with Provape on a mod venture...
He has already sold over 1200 ZNA's since their release January 16th, 2014...........And there is no end in site as they sell out in seconds when they go live.....

Why not? "Easy" royalty money for Zen, which odds are there's already a similar arrangement for ZenKoted ProVarii

He comes up with the design & working prototypes, and ProVape does the rest...

Zen has done his part, and if not any part of the subsequent manufacturing process, then just sits back & collects those checks coming in, freeing him up to focus on his own stuff, which is obviously keeping him pretty busy with no let-up in sight


ProVape has stated that a ProVari V3 isn't coming out anytime soon, that a ProVape e-pipe isn't in the works.. Yet that they are working on & testing stuff... Just new colors & ZenKotes? Leads one to believe that there's something more substantial in the pipeline


A collaboration with Zen on an "extreme" rugged/durable ProVari-like device isn't all that far-fetched...

As long as it looks nothing like this thing, I may be interested.

It better not perform or be built like it either....

The only thing great about that mod is that it drove me to buying a ProVari....

Zen built the ZAP since Provape didn't build their own RBA, that was a smart move on his part due to all the Provaris being sold.. Zenkote well that was more of a gift to Provape since they still use the inferior ceramic finish.

Zen comes up with the design & working prototypes, and ProVape does the rest....

When it comes to mods Zen needs no help, so why would he give a royalty to Provape in a collaboration ? What exactly would be Provape's contribution be to the project? Zen can already use Evolv's DNA30 chip for a regulated device.....and he is genius when it comes to designs. ZNA is a prime example...

I have been with Provape since their inception of the Provape1, if they develop a new chip they will keep it exclusive as they have done with the Provari chip.... That protects their market share...
P.S. Zen already has plans for an extreme rugged waterproof mod with several days of battery life... Watch his videos...

I read somewhere that he's doing this with the "deadliest catch" guys in mind. Seeing Josh Harris using an ecig was what got me started.

OFF TOPIC:

Their new season starts tonight. I'm looking forward to it.

I've been vaping for a few months now, and the first time I posted on ECF someone commented "I give you a month before you buy a Provari".... Well, that time has come. I've had the emerald green mini in the cart on the website for a week now but the same thing is keeping me from pulling the trigger: the fact that I feel like the v3 is going to come very soon. I saw the v2.5 was released in July of last year, and therefore it would make sense something new will be out, the latest, in July. I'm the type of person that hates buying things and then a new version come out a month(ish) later. That being said, I really, really want a provari.

What do y'all think? Just do it, or wait?

 

[magman007]

Philip, Just do it! I give you a month before you have your second!

Also, the older ones had an upgrade path, for a nominal fee, provape would upgrade your older versions to the current version, its possible we will see the same thing happen, or we might not.

I am just trying to stir the pot a bit, and with the strong chinese competition coming, I have to assume provape will release something in the near future to compete with those numbers, even if they know most users will never explore those boundaries.

I am like you, the second I buy something, the newer, better one comes out. Shouldn't be a problem with provape, they take care of their customers.

Uh, pretty sure Zen just didn't "gift" ZenKote to Provape.. I think it's safe to say that money is changing hands under a licensing agreement..

Why does anybody enter into licensing agreements? One party has something of value & wants to make money from it; the other party brings something different of value to the table & also wants to make money from it..

In this "hypothetical" case, ProVape wants to sell a PV that has certain parameters.. but perhaps they don't have the in-house expertise to make it happen at the design & prototype level.. Who in this industry might have that rare expertise? Zen, with whom they already have a business relationship (ZAP, ZenKote).. So they make him an offer he can't refuse, and he works with ProVape at the design & prototype level.. Once they've got something they're happy with, Zen's part is pretty much finished, and he's free to focus his time & efforts on his own things... At this point ProVape takes on everything else to bring it to the customers' hands.. the financial aspect, the sourcing & manufacturing, the sales & marketing, the servicing, etc. -- you know, perhaps things that House of Hybrids doesn't have the current resources for...

ProVape pays Zen his cut per the licensing agreement, in whatever form it is (upfront fees, ProVape company stock, royalties, etc.), and they keep the rest..

It's not all that far-fetched, and this kind of stuff happens every day in the business world.. It's nothing new..

And yes, already aware of pbusardo's interview with Zen re: this upcoming PV...


Anyway, time will tell...

 

[Gato del Jugo]

What do y'all think? Just do it, or wait?

There were people who had the same thoughts as you 6 months ago..

Either they're still waiting to pull the trigger, or they've been happily vaping on their ProVari(i) ever since...


At some point, somebody will order their V2.5 just minutes before ProVape announces the V3.. Yeah, it will sort of suck, but I think most current V2.5 owners will agree that that person will still not be too disappointed..


Anyway, keep this in mind: The longer you wait, the greater the odds of you being that "last one"...

 

[Piepie]

Thats what I was saying until I heard they were releasing more gold ones. I was sad about not getting one last run. Watch the v3 come out next month.

 

[Ladiekali]

Hopefully I'm wrong, but the extensive testing was probably referring to the new air slots in the top of the new Provari's (v2.5) people have been receiving this week.

Im jealous i need thatmfeature

 

[p.opus]

I thought the V3 was just around the corner in October 2013. Bought my first ProVari at the end of Feb 2014. 2 months later and still waiting for the mythical V3. Finally I decided...If and when the V3 finally shows up I will have one of two options.

1. I will be able to update my 2.5 for a reasonable price to 3.0 if the enhanced feature set is sufficient for me to justify the extra outlay of cash.

2. I will able to sell my existing 2.5's to ProVari users who have no interest in the new 3.0 feature set at a decent percentage of their original cost and then purchase a 3.0 brand new.

Either way, for me it's a win/win and I get to enjoy my current ProVari's while I wait.

 

[Riverboat]

Bought my first ProVari at the end of Feb 2014. .

You been at this vaping thing for along time, What took you so long to buy your first Provari ?
