Honestly when I was new to vaping I took what I was told by "pros" as gospel. If a pro had told me to buy a provari I would still be smoking. That price tag just wasn't in the cards.
I've been in the audiophile world (and on those forums) long enough to know that a good 75% of the people who slag someone else's gear are just mean asshats who neither know what they are talking about or have any genuine interest in helping newbies.
If I had taken half the stuff on the audio forums as gospel, I would have paid five times as much for my stereo rig, it would have sounded half as musical as it does currently, and it would have been so ugly I could never had a chance meeting a woman who wanted to live with me... ;-)
You gotta sort through the slag and dross, and find those real gems of information, when you're new. It sucks but that's the way the internet works. I've sort of taken it upon myself to be one of those voices of reason that tries to help as best I can, given the level of technical know-how, the financial constraints, and the ultimate goal of new vapers.
Not everyone NEEDS a Provari, or a Darwin or an Opus. Not everyone needs a Kir Fanis or a Steam Turbine or a Penelope. The fact is, about 95% of the people on the planet who are using e-cigs will never want or need anything more complicated than a Blu or a DSE901 kit, or maybe an eGo with a good tank of some sort.
I dont own a Provari. I've used them, and they ARE very nice, but they are a little outside my current budget. But if someone gave me one, I'd use the heck out of it... ;-)
I would return the provari to your brother and go and buy a good PV. You know, one with current technology in it. The provari is an outdated piece of garbage and it doesn't suprise me that you are having problems with it. I ditched mine a while ago and have been much happier since. Get a sigelei zmax or a tesla, they provide a better regulated vape than the provari, it's much smoother and consistent. The provari uses an older chip inside and it probably isn't able to handle the batteries of today. Provape really needs to update the technology inside their PV's before someone get seriously injured.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
The fact that you are from Chicago explains a lot though, so I guess we shouldn't get mad or flame you for making such mean-spirited, ridiculous, absurd comments.
If anything, we should pity you, for living in the most corrupt, crime-ridden, crooked city on the planet, and pray for you that someday you will escape that putrid cesspit of corruption. Maybe if you lived somewhere that wasn't run by sociopathic control freaks, foreign operatives, and organized criminals posing as politicians and corporate execs, you wouldn't be so snarky, bitter and cruel...
like many ^^ suggestions read manuals, watch a few videos, and if you feel or determine that the device actually is malfunctioning do not hesitate to contact ProVape.
