Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

[ENAUD]

Well OK, then. Nestle actually has a free recycle program. They send me recycle bags that hold 200 used coffee capsules. Then I fill the bag, I seal it and they pay the postage for it to be returned to them. See, I'm being environmentally responsible!



Oh my........did I strike a wittle nerve?! LOL The reality is your claim made me wanna see and so I saw. Google. It's a good thing! Now we shake hands, have a beer and a nice vape!

Ya, me too!



I have one word for you: Dualit! Best darn tootin toaster I've ever owned and prolly the best built as well. Not inexpensive (Provari's aren't either) but ours is going on 10 years and will likely outlive me. Here's a link to the one we have:

Thank You! I'll bet most wind up in the waste stream however. Nice looking toaster! I'd be grabbing one ifn' I could ever eat real bread again. Looks professional grade....yup, just looked pretty much all user grade stuff is built to Wallmart buy it a hundred times before you die crap specs.

If'n Tearose is buying a new toaster ever few months, this one will actually save her money. It truly reminds me of the time when we bought ego stick after ego stick until we saw the light and bought a Provari. I know I would have saved money if I had just bought the Provari from the beginning.

And Provaris make better toast than ego sticks.

I think you get the analogy........

I laugh when I think that our legacy will be mountains of ill conceived and poorly manufactured consumer things, heaped into landfills, toxic waste dumps, and piles of radioactive decaying materials with a half life many times that of recorded human history.

Seriously! The after life of the things we make and use are not thought all the way through. Thank goodness for recycling, but that alone does not cut it.

Thanks for the recommendation on toasters, Sir Rod. I do like their models, especially the colorful ones.

However, since we are only occasional toaster users, I'm still on search mode.....

Called? No way!

You know, I was just wondering, how would someone without a computer get a hold of ProVape? I guess go to the vendor from which they bought because they probably didn't purchase using a computer in the first place.

Every time I write ProVape CS and there's a miscommunication, I gripe about lack of phone support because said miscommunication, or misunderstanding could be immediately cleared up or never would have happened in the first place over the phone. Instead, when there is a misunderstanding via email, we have to spend another day or two clearing it up. SUCKS! Poor people on the other end, it's not their fault.

Yep, I agree! That is the one thing with Provape that Sucks!!! I've been on the merry go round with CS. I could not for the life of me see how they could understand so wrongly, what I was asking. Geeesh!!!and Grrrrrr!!!!!

How can you claim the Best Customer Service in the Industry, and not respect your Customers enough to talk to them whatsoever? What? I'm good enough to spend my money with them, but not good enough to talk to? Made me very suspicious of them in the beginning. Remember Pro-Smoker???

Pro-Smoker got a bad rep. for the very same reason. They are no longer around to make mod's. Hint-Hint!!!
Hello!!!

I don't own this toaster and don't have an opinion to offer on it one way or another, but when I looked at the link, I saw this review that cracked me up.

"1.0 out of 5 starsIt broke my heart
By kathysaysso on July 24, 2008
My love for this toaster lasted all of two days. Were I not so thrilled with its looks, I would have thrown it out in the first 20 minutes. It's like a handsome, charming man who happens to be useless, lazy, and incompetent.

Now two years have passed, and I hate the thing. It still warms up slowly, still toasts WILDLY unevenly, still takes up too much space, still has slots that can't accommodate thick bread or wide bread, and now even the ticking of the timer has begun to get on my nerves. Probably because I know that after three minutes of listening to it, 1/2 of my slice will be toasted, 1/4 of my slice will be burnt black, and 1/4 of my slice will be untouched by heat. I'd have gotten a better piece of toast if I lit the $300 on fire and waved a slice of bread over the flames.

I got online today to buy a new toaster, and decided to swing by here to warn any prospective buyers of this Dualit away!"

Kinda greedy don't you think? He could be ugly too.

I don't care what that bozo had to say about this toaster. As someone who has owned one for at least 10 years now, it's the best darn tootin toaster I've ever owned.

I can't even pretend to be any help on picking out a toaster. I really like mine, I've had it for years, and it works very well, so of course they don't make it any more.

Every time I put it on there's an adjustment period. Empty, it fits just fine- Put a mod in it & that's where everything takes a funny turn. I dont know what size mod they designed this off of but anything small just looks weird & anything larhe just looks weirder!!

The flap that's supposed to keep your mod upright & in place doesn't stay in the upright position itself so it doesn't help in terms of making sure the mod doesn't fall out. Youtubers wearing it rave about it saying it's perfect for them when they go to vape meets. Currently I am not finding the level of perfection.

Thank you for the feedback. I was kinda suspecting this would happen, sorry to hear you aren't thrilled with it :/

 

[darkangel07760]

I have one of those old Sunbeam toasters from the 50's. Can't kill one of those no matter how hard you try. I suspect they are no longer available as Americans shop on price only these days...quality be damned. Just look at all the crap you can buy. As soon as it breaks just throw it out. They say technology advances are too quick to make anything of high quality. Really? A toaster toasts my bread. I'm not interested in blending milk shakes or shaving my face with it. Toast the damn bread and be done with it.

I agree with this. I am NOT a fan of having to replace something, why can't it just work right the first time and then that's it? Funny everyone is talking about toasters, I just had to replace mine because I admittedly bought a cheap one (I was trying to save a few bucks), but I ended up spending MORE because after only a year with this cheap one I got so frustrated with it I had to go and buy a proper one. Ugh.

Hey, toast is VERY important!! Yes it is! Why, it's almost as much fun to discuss as the Xtar VP2 Charger. Almost..........

Well I contacted them, explained my issue. They apologized & said they'd refund my money. There is a V2 on the way but he couldnt say when. It'll have shorter straps to hold the mod in place.

Note 5!!!

There's a member in the Nicoticket forum we lovingly call Koji who must have 50 eGos. I think they're all loaded with the same flavor- GCD. She buys her juice 500ml at a time.
