My new ProVari is a blemmed blem

[Idaholandho]

Hello ECM and ProVape
First, I would thank ProVape for the fast order and communication.
As I am familiar with the Povari and have been lucky enough to have been using one for a while now that I purchased from a swap meet a while back. I really have enjoyed it, so thank you.
Due to this forum and the help, hints, great members I decided to order a new unit for my travels as I have been in rehab for a year for a terrible incident...
A knee jerk decision, because of all the "I cant even see the blem" threads, I ordered one. I anticipated myself also searching for the blem. But long story short, when I opened the packaging to my short lived excited anticipation it appeared like the unit was rolled across the floor to the shipping department on a 20 year old cement floor. The screen is fine but the body has scratches all the way around the unit with one scratch that is above the faded V that is noticeable in a dark room while sleeping with the bubble wrap still on it.
To be clear, I am not mad at ProVape(will still order again if I see fit) as I am the one who pushed the button. If fact, I have a hearty sense of humor as I have posted in other threads that I'll be that guy that gets the "whoops, Hey boss I ran over this one with my truck" unit...and did.
I never have been a blem guy and am OCD about my personal items but, will not order a blem again. In fact, this unused unit may make the classifieds, real fast.
To end on a positive note, Thanks everyone for the wise posts and great forum as well as the vendors that have taken care of us and me(special thanks to Mountain Oak Vapors).

Remember, please continue to support your local and small business vendors that have taken care of us all. RJ Reynolds has never done anything for us and never will.

Heads up, Chins high.

What about getting a wrap for it?

Very good idea. I have looked at them in the past. So far I've contacted ProVapes to see if they would return the item so that I can pay full price for a non blem unit. If they do great if not, I will enjoy the unit and love it as it were mine even though it will have to ride the short bus to school and the defects will have to be justified as being unique and "special".
I spose I made the thread more or less to laugh at myself due to the irony of so many "not able to find anything cosmetically wrong" threads and then BAM they pulled one off the shelf and blew the dust off it, the guys and girls had a good laugh and sent that one to me.
I feel the job opening on their site is for the person who was responsible. Oh, I kill myself.

Incredible...they issued a ticket already and Cecilia(Thank You) answered my personal email. Provari your cs is terrific. Thank you

Thats the risk you take when you order a second(blem)................They come with a full one year warranty on the electronics. These are sold "as is" and cannot be returned for refund or exchange.

So its sounds like they are taking it back? Now thats C.S.

If Provape is watching I will buy the blemmed unit at a discount if possible

I understand their exchange policy and will never argue their policy. This unit appears to be a demo unit to me so I all I can do is ask. As I said, I am the one that pulled the trigger on the blem unit. I also will not be upset one bit.
Cecilia with ProVape is outstanding btw. They have currently asked for pictures as I will get when I get home. They also told me that these should'nt even be sold. I have exchanged 4 or 5 emails with them, all very courteuos and respectful on both sides as this isnt saving babies! They are great.

Sounds great if they do not take it back, It is already wrapped back in the original packaging and going somewhere! I ran through the electronics and it works like a champ! If you like genuine Vivi Novas in the box, I will come up with a price throw a couple in for the deal!
It wont be an issue selling this I'm sure I am just OCD and like my gear spotless, vaping and non vaping gear.

Happy to as soon as ProVape reviews them first. I choose not to out of respect for them not checking the pictures first.
They will see them in the morning when they get in.

I don't care what it looks like if you knock some dough off.
But if your going to sell it then you'll need to put it in the classies here.
We aren't allowed to buy or sell things outside of the classifieds on this forum.
Just let us know if and when you do. Hopefully Provape will exchange it.

Sure, I will absolutely sell it properly in accordance of ECF rules.
They are checking the pictures this morning and honestly am emotionless on their decision. I am more interested in the Z-Attys and awaiting their relaese on ProVape's web site today.
Right now its just wrapped up and waiting.

Indeed the Z atties are great. But remember that the ZattyPro only fits on provaris.
the Z atty U will fit on anything 510 connectioned.
