I was LUSTING for the emode until THIS:
A PBusardo Review - The JoyTech eMode - YouTube
BUT if you have money to burn.......
Check out the Janty MID, Pbusardo hasn't poisoned it yet with a bad review. Grimm Green did, he couldn't figure it out in half an hour, so he put it on his wall of shame. Reviewers go through so many models of ecigs that they don't have time. I like buying new models, but not at the rate the reviewers get them sent into their post boxes. If Grimm Green was to use the Janty for a week straight, and only had one or two other models to fall back upon, his opinion might be different. He might say, "I get it now" I do know one person that has a Janty MID, a major ejuice producer, and he learned it and loves it to the exclusion of all others for home use. The batteries hold it back for being a true one size fits all solution, but again, who doesn't have a backup ecig. Heck, i have backups for backups, like many here.
I don't let an online reviewer take the fun away from my hobby. If he doesn't like it, so be it. Like he says, it's his opinion. Sure, the little ring is difficult to read the numbers on and it has no knurling. So what? Given some time, you become comfortable with a devices shortcomings. I am not searching for 'the best' of anything, i like to try new and different things, it's what makes life exciting for me anyways. My Grandpa didn't keep his model T forever, if he had, and everyones grandpa had, we would still all be driving Model T's.
Innovation and choice makes the world go around, some are winners, some not so much, others go into the trash pile. The ProVari is a great unit, like a muscle car, solid and reliable. The Janty and Joytech and DNA mods are more akin to a four wheel drive, traction controlled sports car.
Bad analogy, but sometimes I wish to play around with my device, it keeps me interested and off the burning tobacco leaf. I'm easily bored, the Provari gives me a great vape each and every time until the battery is dead. The Provari will be there for me anytime I need it. When I am bored, I can play with the Janty and the Joytech. I doubt they will give the service life of a Provari, however, If I don't abuse them, perhaps they will! Will or won't, not many things are forever anyways.
I do believe the Provari was a good investment. It seems to me to be the most solid mod available at this time that is variable voltage and variable wattage. Made in America, a clone of a chinese ecig, done better than the originals. The Philippines, thru Janty and the mech mod builders are innovators in this market in my opinion, they make some cool stuff! I'm getting my Janty while they still make them, soon, due to lack of sales, the Janty MID will not be available if I am reading the markets correctly. The engineering team that made that thing can be proud, it's not their fault the ecig community was not willing to see and use the innovations that were put into it. It keeps me from smoking, interested in my new hobby, it's worth it to me.
People watch Pbusardo's videos for his oscilloscope readings, well the Janty mid has one built into it's chip! Is there another mod with it's trick functionality? I know it doesn't matter to a lot of people, but I'm techy, and I love learning curves, and it costs as much as one, repeat one carton of cigarettes that I was buying each and every week and burning, so yes, it seems I do have money to burn.
