Need suggestion on new PV

[MartiP]

One of my Twists is bent, just from a rather gentle drop onto a hardwood floor. It still works fine, but the clearo sits just slightly cockeyed. I love the egos for what they are, and it's a fantastic starter device, hands down. But my Provari is just built like a tank, feels perfect, and I love it. The best I can describe it is the way the doors "thunk" on a really good German engineered car as compared to a Toyota. The Toyota may well be a fantastic car, or even have some options that are better. But the "feel" is not the same.

I don't bash any device, they all work well for different needs, and I understand the "fanboy" complaints to some degree. But I flat LOVE my Provari.

I agree, the eGo's are great for the price, and they got me off cigarettes which is priceless in my book. I feel though that I've outgrown the eGo design, and the reliability (breaking) is getting really frustrating.

Whatever I finally decide to move onto, I'll still have my stash of eGo's for backup.

I like to look at average cost over time. I've had my provari a year and a half. My average cost at this point is around .36 cents a day.
that's based on a cost of $200. I've never had any problems with it and fully expect it to keep doing so for a long time to come. When you consider the cost of vaping something you must realize is the cost of liquids. Buying premixed flavors, your tab will add up to $200 very quickly. You should consider DIY. I've been making my own liquids since January and wish I would have started a couple years ago. Doing that will free up the money for a provari very quickly. Good luck

Sigelei zmax telemax it's not as ginormus as the vamo and it looks good imo if you look around a little you can find them right around $60

i don't typically recommend Provaris (i find the menu system tedious for my personal style of vaping - when i do use a vv device, i tend to change the voltage constantly), but based on how you've described your lifestyle, i think it would be by far the best option. they are very well built - you could throw one at a brick wall, dust it off, and vape it without any issue. if you somehow happen to damage it, the customer service is indeed very good, and repair costs (if any) are reasonable.

if you don't care about vv, you basically can't go wrong with any mechanical mod. all they are is a battery holder that has a button to close a circuit, so it's damn near impossible to break one.

typically i'd be on the side recommending a Vamo, but not in this case... don't get me wrong, it's still one of my favorite VV devices, but i don't think it would last very long if it's being dropped, jostled, or otherwise treated harshly.

I really want a Provari, but I'm trying to justify the price, can anyone tell me what I'm going to get from a Provari vs. from say a Vamo? Is it workmanship, or just bells and whistles? If the quality is what you pay for in the Provari, then I'm all for that.

Vamo pretty much has everything a Provari has, Provari is just built to last much longer. I do own two Vamos, and have not had a single problem...

The Vamo has a 5 amp switch, the Provari does not. Vamo has a much easier menu system, the Provari has an annoying one button system. The Vamo is VV/VW, the Provari is only VV.

This is why I have my preference.

The Provari IS A BETTER DEVICE BY FAR, but does NOT offer all the features the Vamo does.

Thanks GetVaked, I think I've made my decision. Although I have lusted after the Provari I think for now the Vamo is what I need. I'm a little confused about the difference in VV vs. VW but I'll do my research as that is off topic of this post.

Thank you all for your advice. Can't wait to throw these eGo's in a spare drawer/donate to smoker friends to try.
