I was beginning to want one till i saw it was over $200 and you still need more batteries while those are charging and i have no idea how long those batteries last. I mean before they have to be thrown away.

And it looks like a vibrater so if i ever did get one i would have to buy a jwrap.
Jwraps are awesome but thats another $15

Maybe one day, like if i start saving now next xmas lol

WOW vibrator..so it has a double use? Seems worth the price :)

I've seen wraps as low as $5 and really, they're easy to make oneself. Also, there's no vibrator THIS small that would satisfy any real woman...lol The Mini's only 3.5 inches tall by less than an inch wide.

I bought mine this werk. I did get 3 batteriesand i am glad i did. It does go through them, but i would not trade it for anything else. The best decesion i have made in a long time. This of course is my opinion. Besides it is a lot nicer than it may look. Really like its looks over other mods out there and my b & M HAS about all the most popularones out there to choose from.

2.5 years ago I was spending over 2k a year on stinkies...in the 2.5 I've been vaping I've spent maybe 1k, including a Nemesis (not a clone), and a kayfun lite plus today, best vaping experience to date by far, it took a lot of trial and error to reach this point...and all worth it, I don't stink any more, no more burn holes in car seats or shirts...etc etc, go for it.

I know, right. The batteries average around $10-$11 for the regular sizes.

The ProVari itself starts at $159, anyway. It's the options that cost and you choose those.

Think I spent like $30 for 4 aw's I got else where
maybe even less

but I spent over $200 with the options I wanted including 2 year warranty

Its the best purchases I made since vaping

although I haven't got the Reo yet

You spend up front and really don't have to do more than maintain for a LOOOOONNNNG time afterward, barring extraordinary circumstance. If you get the urge to get rid of it all, you're still going to get most of the money you initially sunk into it BACK. That's just the way they hold their value, even beat up ones command decent prices.

Here is my take on the REO vs PRovari thing...

If you prefer a regulated variable voltage device you cannot do better than a Provari for your preferances.

If however you prefer an unregulated device The REO grand is fantastic. I fall in this camp.

I cannot speak toward the variable regulated REOs as I have never used them. They may be in the same class a Provari I just do not know.

that's the main reason I seen the value In it

I have a vamo that was having problem's with 510 threads after 2 month's

wont have that issue with provari 2 year warranty

that itself would have been enough
but since I got it really has a much smoother better draw on the atties as well

now I cant live without it

Honestly I think Ill be happier with both but the Reo has to wait for the fund's

I've had my provari for a damn long time. I'm thinking almost 2 years will be coming up soon. Just replaced the batteries for the first time. Got two AW batteries for $14. Still using the same $5 charger I ordered from madvapes the same night i ordered the provari. Still cycling the original 2 AW batteries in with these two new ones. The provari was $160 and the batteries and charger were $35 for almost 2 years of use. Thats a grand total of $195 for two years of use. I didn't even break $200 in 2 years. Not too shabby in my opinion. The provari has been dropped on my floor about 50 times. On the kitchen tile floor twice. Its been dropped on my cement garage floor at least 4-5 times. Its been dropped on asphalt at least 4-5 times. I've polished the scratches out of it once. Still vaping better than the ego I stepped on and threw in the trashcan and the lavatube that it replaced after I pressed the firing button too hard. I bet I could drop it out my 2nd floor window to the driveway and it'd still vape. I'll try that when I hit the lottery.

It was my main PV all this time. I used my SB and my Reo mini occassionally but it saw the most use every day. I just got a Reo grand thursday (sold my mini to get this grand) and the provari has taken a back seat for now but heh, I'll still get my money's worth from it for years to come. I'll send it back to get fixed if I have to. Now that I have a Reo grand, my newest conundrum in the coming year of 2014 will be do I want to start my doubling up phase with a new provari, or a new grand?
