it comes as no surprise that the provari is a right-handed device. everything in this world is, as that tends to be the majority of the population. im not sure why im even posting this, but im a new provari user (absolutely loving it BTW :) ) - just got it today. as i access the menu, i am noticing that its awkward with your left hand. so, if there are any other left handed users here, do you guys use your right hand to flip through the menu or do you awkwardly use your trusty leftie?
perhaps i should hold it vertically and tilt my head lol

I am left handed, and tend to hold it such that my thumb is on the 'window' side, and 4 fingers on the 'button' side, with index finger on the button... to access menu, i twist my hand around so I can see the window, and flip it over pointing away from me so the window is 'correct side up'. sort of awkward I suppose but I got used to it. once inawhile I do switch hands but often I just manage with lefty.

4 fingers on the button side, window up, drip tip pointing to the left. Click the button with the pointer finger. That's how I use it. Sounds ambidextrously enough made to me. I don't need to see the button to click it.

Except when you read the display it is upside down. I am left handed as well, and it would be great if they could rotate the display 180deg.

right on. maybe i'll become a finger button presser rather than a thumb button presser. my grip is more firm when i hold the screen away from me and i sure a hell dont want to drop my shiny new provari! but im adaptable. and to be honest, im finding that im not really accessing the menu as much as i thought i would. "set it and forget it" lol :D

I am right handed, but use all my vapping gear left handed. Maybe because I am doing everything else with my right I can keep vapping. I use my thumb to activate the button to vape. To look at the screen I rotate my Provari & allow it to fall over to the left & read the screen while going through the menu with my left fore finger on the button.

You turn your hand palm up and then click, thus the display is correct. I don't turn my hand, thus it is upside down.

Typical right handed people that I observe, activate it the same way but do not turn their hand either.

I realized I rarely look at the display upside down or roll the hand is no biggy!

But as I like options, to be able to order it with the display rotated would be nice, but not an extra $15 nice... :)
