I always thought the Provari was too expensive, but now that I finally got one recently I wish that I had gotten it much earlier.
It is such a well-built, finely machined device that's built to last a LONG time. It screams quality. Factor in that should it ever need servicing, Provape will be right there to do it. It's one of the safest mods you can own with its built-in inteligence. Built-in battery tester and built-in ohms tester. Gently alerts you when your battery is getting low. Oh, and its variable voltage...one of the couple of mods available that will provide precisely what you dial in, everytime.
Just my opinion, but the way I looked at it, the Chinese-made mods can do much of what a Provari can do, and at an initial much lower cost. But once the warranty is out, who is going to repair it? Will this mod provide me with all the safety features that the Provari can? Can this mod deliver the same vape from from start to finish, every time, during the duration of each battery? Probably not.
You may not need a Provari now. But chances are you will end up with one eventually like I have. Only you can decide whether to get one sooner or later.
But Baditude, I read here somewhere that the button and menu system REALLY SUCK!
I'm sorry. I'm being a smart-... again. Contrary to popular* belief, the menu system is about as complicated as a pair of socks. If frying an egg is too much for you to handle, than I definitely would NOT recommend getting a ProVari. Outside of that though, I'm pretty confident that you'll figure it out in (literally) minutes.
