Ok so my first run in with the local vapor shop.

/sarcasm

wait, it's a battery holder right? and a chip that regulates it? I have one coming in the mail tomorrow, and I just thought I bought a regulated battery holder for my vaping needs. I had no idea I bought into some kind of elite group. Sweet! Can't wait to go to my local vape shop and swing it around like a symbol of my manhood and the people there bow to my choice in a regulated battery holder. Glad I have it coming, god forbid I walked in there with my MVP2, a stupid regulated battery holder

/sarcasm

Yes....

As soon as you clicked "Pay" on that website when buying your Provari, you instantly became a premium member of Skull and Bones, The Bilderbergers, and you are now a Freemason.

You can soon come and tell us about the "New World order"(NWO). Oh yeah, thats right, that info is only for the insiders, like you!

Gees -- I don't know who's drinking more Kool-aide, the Provarinutty or those that are "anti-nutty".

The amount of people that have crossed Provari off their want list, announced on this thread, and mostly because of a couple of anti-nutty comments -- tsk tsk. Do your homework and find what's right for you.

The Provari is not right for everyone, but it always has been and continues to be one very fine regulated mod.

 

[DC2]

Okay, right, so I have been dripping the last four and a half years with nothing but a 510 atomizer.

But my battery holder has changed a couple of times over those many years.
Now I just use an Ego Twist.

But I did just buy two Vision Spinners, so my evolution continues.

I've pretty much been off the tube mod bandwagon for over a year now. I like to use tanks and then coupled with a tube mod, I found them cumbersome and unwieldily. I've busted more atty connections and tanks than I'd care to admit. I sold my Provaris quite awhile back. Not because they were poor devices, but they simply didn't work for me. In the end, it is simply a device capable of delivering regulated wattage/voltage. Not a particularly impressive feat and easily duplicated by a myriad of other devices as well.

I think it's important to point out that it was not the Provari that acted like an elitist it was the owner that displayed an arrogant and elitist attitude.

Don't hate the device. Don't hate other Provari owners for one person's behavior.

You can only "like" things once. I made the sacrifice and quoted you so OTHERS may like what you said twice!

 

[scylla]

It will only get worse for those poor people at the B and M. Notice the the title of the thread mentions that it was his "first" run in with the store.
Where I work we get guys like that as repeat customers and everybody always groans when we see them pull up.

 

[irwink]

How did this overly long lived thread go from the op's obviously fictional bravado to another in the long line of Provari and/or their owners good/bad thread?

 

[Bubba]

As I clenched my fists I looked at her and kindly replied "Ma'am, I don't think you know EXACTLY what this is". Her face turned pale and the stupid look she had then faded. Now, knowing what I know now, I just popped the top off my Z-Atty Pro, pushed my fire button and showed them the "Last Man Standing" Coil.

False bravado, you say? I know not of this false bravado - who wouldn't act this way when their battery holder is called as such, with clenched fists and condescending tone?

I really doubt the girl turned pale. More like green with the nausea of having to deal with people like this. Anyone who's worked retail more than 5 minutes is unfazed with heads like this.

Love the line about "you don't know what this is" Yeah, she does. And just called it what it is

 

[K_Tech]

Is owning and showing off a Provari make you god's gift to the world? If you want to show it off do so by vaping it in your Ferrari.

I don't vape my Provari in my Ferrari.

Technically I can't vape my Provari in my Ferrari, because I can't even fit my Provari into the front seat, let alone get myself into it:

Welcome to 2012 DC2, I knew you'd get here eventually... wait... er...

 

[coalyard]

...Sometimes a Provari is just a Provari...

I'm old enough to have developed a pretty finely tuned BS meter. It has been known to hand me a false positive on occasion but over time and tuning those occasions are rare.

Mine too. It's a blessing/curse. Blessing because you're much harder to BS. Curse because it usually comes with age. I know more but remember less. Now if I could just find my walker...

 

[jwag1973]

I've got a Provari...who cares?

Everyone that comes to my house always grab a Sigelei or one of my mechanical mods that are all clones. The Provari is hardly ever even noticed.

Most people outside a vapor type forum doesn't even know what they are! Now you can take that any way you want, but it's the truth.

I personally feel no reason to tell them the difference. Crazy enough my MVP2 or Sigelei ZMAX V2 see the most usage. I have no reasoning for this, it's just how it works out.

Nothing wrong with having a nice PV, heck there's nothing wrong with being proud of it. I've found it's when you start waving it around in someone's face, it becomes a problem.

Funny how this rule is universally true for many situations.

Religion
Politics
PV's
Body parts (er...... )

Then the 'provarinati' came into my head and said "Beat this woman with your all powerful ProVari!" As I clenched my fists I looked at her and kindly replied "Ma'am, I don't think you know EXACTLY what this is".

No one I know in the Provarinati that I am a member of would have suggested to "Beat this woman with your all powerful ProVari".

My ProVari stays at home. My three cats are very impressed with my ProVari and my Kayfun Clone. (It's got SvoeMesto markings on it, so they think it's real..shhhhhhh...jokes on them.......hehehehe)

It's ok, though. I guess all of us go through D-bag stages. I went through one with a mall vendor and I was only packing an iTaste vv3 and Mini Protank and I thought I was king of the world.

Pretty soon, we grow up, and realize that who we are is more important than what we own.

Maybe the next time our OP visits this particular shop, instead of trying to impress the peasants with his mighty wand, he'll use the information he's learned here for free, to help other vapers make good choices in their purchases, and help save a life that might otherwise have ended in in death.

I have 4 of my close friends actively vaping, and one of them has his entire staff vaping instead of smoking.

I've played a small part of possibly saving at least 1/2 dozen lives just by vaping and telling others about vaping. And that is way more important to me than what I'm vaping on at the time.

I don't know how old "old enough" is. But I have a very fine tuned bs meter as well which makes me no fun in threads like this I guess lol. Oh well. I can live with that.

It's Friday afternoon and my local downtown area is having their local Friday Fest, it's a great activity.
This thread got me laughing after a hard days work, now I'm in a great mood to party hardy..
People from all walks and forms take part in these discussions, most of the time they are hilariously themed ( purposely or unwittingly ) and then "attended" to by all. --- On to the next thread!

 

[cope]

i dont care what anyone else uses as long as it works for them.. i love my provari as they work outstanding..never a problem
i am amused when a twist-er user bangs me then his cheap-o button sticks n cooks off..they always say ...i can buy ten of these..good buy 10 of em then...your going to need them..lol
