Ha Ha, I'm surrounded by tobacco, soybean, and cotton farms :lol: I did do a quick search, there's some shops around but they are spread out. I'm going to go pick the genius bar folks brains and see if they can recommend someone to me. It'll be a nice day trip. I might could try it myself if I can find some video's, I'll search the youtubes. I've got six months till her birthday, so plenty of time...

Just want to say to all my ProVari friends, and the fine folks at Provape who brought us the awesome Radius :)


Happy New Year!!!:banana::rickroll::toast::vapor:
They should be able to recommend what are called "Apple Authorized Service Providers".
Basically they're repair places that are NOT Apple, but are approved by Apple, to do repairs that Apple Stores can't/won't do.
Good luck!!!

Well, some are displayed in museums from time to time. I'm now retired for medical reasons. I do know if I wanted to buy one back, the prices on the collector market has gone crazy. Never thought they would be being traded and sold for thousands of dollars each. :eek: They were designed to be used, by adventurers, Sportsmen, and Combat. Never thought they would become such High End collector's Items.
I sure couldn't' afford one!:cry::lol: Nor did I get any where near the Big Bucks they are bringing today. It does feel good to have your work so appreciated though.

Those look like ivory?
Yes, and Thank you. It is Ancient Ivory.

Doing this kind of work for over 40 years has given me a keen eye for quality, and the Provape products have it in spades. Fit, Finish, and material selection is impeccable. We are very lucky to have such a company looking out for us!

It has also given me a Keen eye for gimmicks. Sure a lot of them out there in the Vape World!:nah: Something that Provape has never stooped to. ;)

Now mama, I ain't tryna go to battle with you.
BUT.
The batteries are $79+ tax. Period.

If the device is damaged, and replacing the battery isn't feasible, then the whole phone must be replaced.
They won't put a new battery in a phone with a broken screen, or dented metal body.
This may be where the "other cost" came from?
I've been a RABID Apple "fanboi" since before the iPhone.
I'm truly sorry you've had the experiences you say you've had...but honestly, I just can't see those things happening.
I am so familiar with their policies and procedures I may as well work there! Ha!
Maybe I need to go apply...hmm...
As I said before agree to disagree. Many of our experiences have been great- others, not so much!

Note 5!!!

Your both right in a sense. Apple itself is set at $79 for most batteries depending on connection. Independents, authorized or not can charge up to $350. The devil is in the details. Some add other parts into the service like mikes and jacks even if the are not needed as a cya service package
