My official public apology

[JJOOHHNN]

Flat, round, top, bottom... oh I have so much to learn first hand yet. Thanks for the tips!!! After I get the extension, I'll know whether or not I'll like the 18650 version or not too for future buys. (and all day excursions). So far the Mini is the bees knees for me. It's solid weight, yet not too heavy It's comfortable for me. I love the teardrops look and feel both. Mine is the satin silver with red led. The family loves how my thumb/finger lights up bright red and almost transparent. vape it again Uma!

I love the satin silver finish. You are seeing raw stainless steel on that finish. Nothing to flake off. Stainless can be given a satin, brushed, polished, or bead blasted look to it depending on what you like. I like the satin finish that they put on them but I would like to get mine bead blasted.

There are people out here who have polished them to a mirror finish out here and they look nice but I prefer a more subdued look.

Damn that was a good read. Congrats on the purchase and enjoy your new Provari, I know it'll serve you well for years to come - I know mine all certainly have. (weird use of tenses in that there sentence.)

If you like the tear drops take a look at the Vaperfexion Pro-V2 cartotank on a Provari. It looks stunning.

Why thanks, Chikenbok! I appreciate the blessings more than you know. I feel so bad about my biased assumptions of the past. My hope anyone else who is sitting on the fence or who is frightened off like I was, will read this and jump for joy and get one. It's the best thing out there, not only for old tired eyes, but for the Chronic CRS peeps both. Plus, of course, the craftsmanship and all the other great stuff we love about it.

Will do that! I use the rba type of delivery system though, but it never hurts to have a backup, especially one that will look so sharp on it. The Prometey with the teardrops will be awesome too. I must get on that list. I must I must.

I completely agree. I love the SS, especially the Satin.
The bead blast keeps the Satin look? I'll look into that, find someone in my area who does this, when it's time to have er redone. Thanks!

You will love the extention caps feel vs the standard cap...Full size with ext cap will put the button in the right spot to fire..You will be griping the whole mod that way.... I have owned all the LED colors, Red is way to bright and glaring-Blue is the least bright I call it a cool blue, its ok....The Green is my favorite
The Satin Silver Provari is the best...Ive had colored ones before and no matter how much you baby them they will develop small scratchs over time....

It depends on the grit and who does the blasting.

You can look at the work of metal finisher before you have it done. Steel being as hard as it is can go along time without needing refinishing unless you nick it with something harder. The look can be renewed with a finish you like equally well or better.

The only reason I want to so my steel all at the same time is to ensure they have the same texture, I am not so concerned about what the texture is though as they all look nice. A good shop can probably mimic the same texture that Provape put on it. I would look at what the shop can do before deciding.

You probably don't need to think about it for a long time.

Thanks for the headsup Riverboat! I must admit, the purple with the blue or green led does have me a bit interested, even though it's not a gorgeous purple that would make me flip open hubby's wallet in nothing flat. The green it is then. And, I'll stick to the SS, no doubt about that. (unless they have touch up paint?).

::ff to the store to drool over extension caps and whatnot::::

So glad to see another person in love with their Provari! I never understood all of the complaints with the menu. It's super easy! I never thought I'd spend that type of cash on a PV either but once I got one I totally got what everyone was raving about! Yes yes!! You must get another as a back up...then another so that one isn't lonely when you're out of the house with the first...then another... I'm still trying to hold out for my one year for my 3rd one but that beautiful red keeps calling to me!!!

 

[Uma]

That red does look smashing doesn't it!

Summary of my discovery: The button pushing menu is easy, the best ever. It does not rely on a perfect pace... just a regular good ol decent set your own pace within a 2 second limit pace. If you push too fast, you're ok. If you push too slow, you're ok. (unless, you push slower than 2 seconds a push lol), and most importantly, if you push too out of rhythm you're still ok! (I got lots of rhythm until I HAVE to have rhythm and with the Provari, it don't care if I miss a beat or double twitch or nothing, it just don't care about our silly spasms). Like Fury above said, 5 clicks and your into the menu... then it's still smooth sailing from there. Every other click from then on brings up a menu choice, & you have almost 2 seconds to decide whether or not you want to stop there or go on to the next clicks.
I can't emphasize this point enough.

Why has nobody mentioned J-wraps? Cheap, easy to apply, easy to remove and tons of cool designs. I'm still trying to pick one for my mini, but my standard Provari with extension cap was born for the R2D2 wrap.

 

[Uma]

WOW! That looks sharp!!!!!!

 

[denali_41]

Don't sweat the bashing you have done in the past

bashers all have one thing in common !! they have never owned or even used a provari

 

[synthros]

It's true, there are a lot of people who have a problem with a Provari. There are very few people who own one who feel the same way. Yeah, it happens people get into 100% mech mods, etc. But the largest percentage of haters simply haven't actually owned one. That's my completely unscientific opinion and I'm sticking to it As for bells and whistles, I don't need em, I need to vape! It'd be like saying all mechanical mods are garbage because they have no display and only one button! Burn your GG's, your Poldiac's , your caravelas and Paps how could you possible enjoy those Neanderthal devices?

 

[Uma]

:rofl: yeh, I guess "bash" was the wrong word.
But, I did receive my misinformational visualizations from previous users who liked to exaggerate the button pushing and having to start all over whines. Easy to make the assumption that this would not be *the* mod for Chronic CRS peeps.
Rest assured, dear lurkers and fence sitters, the Provari is a cinch.

........................True

My intent is to bash misconceptions about the PRovair's menu and button pushing issues that are in fact non-issues. My hope is that peeps with Chronic CRS will know that the Provari is indeed the easiest to manage.
They will need the help of the manual when they face error codes. But, everyone does. Not just the CRS peeps like self.
But the overall menu? EASY AS PIE.
Please, let's just stick to bashing the misconceptions, not the people.

That is a worthy cause but it can be painful.

Take a look at this. I think you will like it. I know it is only cosmetic but it looks so Provariish. I think it is cool drip tip.

[Uma]

Very nice Drip Tip, made with the Provari in mind for sure. I'll keep that one in mind. Bookmarked in my wish list. Thanks!!!

 

[EvilOne]

Welcome to the dark side =P all kidding aside I was very hesitant to buy a Provari as well after my previous failed attempts to quit smoking with cheap china mods. I don't baby things I own...so the china mods all broke. I dropped one and it snapped in half, I sat down once and killed the one in my pocket and the remaining ones just kinda slowly stopped working. The Provari has falled in my driveway on asphalt, dropped it in the parking lot at work on concrete, knocked it off my desk at home onto hardwood floors and I dropped it in the bathroom once from the counter. The Provari doesn't have a scratch on it except for the bottom cap. I have broken 2 drip tips from the falls, chipped a tile in the bathroom and put a dent in my hardwood floors. No regrets at all about purchasing this PV just wish I had known about it sooner.

 

[Uma]

Now that's quite a testament to it's solid craftsmanship! I'm so glad it didn't get hurt. I used to drop my Copper Q(etc) mod (vapor alley) all the time, from my jean vest pocket, and everything but the mod got hurt. Dents in the floor, broken cartomizers, chips off the car.. It's such a great feeling knowing our mod is fine and dandy, and with testaments like yours, it looks like I'll feel as confident with my Provari falling escapades. Sweet.
(but I'll still baby it and protect it safely in deeper pockets)
