I actually enjoy these threads. I have read a bunch of them. They are mostly filled with the same cast of characters from both sides.
But there is some good information to be gleened from them.
I have never used a Provari. But there are some people, who's opinions I trust, that love this device. I also must admit that I haven't heard any "reasonable" people say it is a bad device. There might be some, but I havent heard them. By all acounts it one of the best.
But some of the condecending remarks by some fans are pretty goofy, albeit entertaining. Too much of the time these "vs" threads just sound like shilling, from both/all sides, to me. Too often the tone is that of "you are too poor, too cheap, too ignorant, to get one. Or from the other side, "you are an elitist, a snob, etc, for owning a Provari.
I think the debates have merrit until it devolves into this. Then its just pure entertainment value, and ceases to have any information value at all.
I say vape what you want, can afford, what you like, blah blah blah.
Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm. Never had Korean BBQ. It's not made from dogs or cats, is it? :blink:



Just kidding.:D Any kind of BBQ is to my liking. Grats on your conversions at work. It feels good to be instrumental in getting someone off of the smokes and vaping for better health.

Bad!! Omg I have never eaten a dog or cat nor do I know of anyone who has. I'm from New York... Maybe people like over a hundred years ago did :(

I'm extremely sorry if I was offensive. I was only trying to poke fun of a bad joke stereotype, and perhaps I went over the line. Please disregard the bad taste (no pun intended) in humor. :oops:

I've eaten dog, but that was in the Philippines. I've also ate monkey while I was there. I've eaten horse, too. Better stop here!

I know you were joking. Maybe I'm a little sensitive to that stuff. I grew up in NYC with a multitude of different ethnicities and cultures and learning to embrace them all ( I love trying new things and new food) then in my early teens we moved to Northern NJ and everything changed for me. It was a very small ( two by two miles) town of very affluent 98%caucasian families. This is where I first learned about racism and ignorance. It was so hard that first year being asked if I knew Bruce Lee or if my family ate dogs... I know you didn't mean anything by it .. It's just a trigger for me that's all. It's all good :)

I totally understand about racism and prejudices. I was married interracially, and have two very attractive and well-adjusted bi-racial teens from that relationship. Again, forgive my poor attempt at humor.

I've eaten dog (I think it was more like a Dingo), unknowingly... And it was not bad... In Thailand

And Kangaroo... Obviously in Australia... This was excellent...

Ive eaten alligator....was okay....rattlesnake ....very good....and Octopus....horrid. Thats about the extent of my culinary daring....almost forgot buffalo....EXCELLENT.

Octopus is delicious if it's correctly prepared, ditto for squid fried in it's own ink. Rattlesnake, very tasty, reminded me of turtle meat. Buffalo stew was divine! Ostrich was much like turkey.

I forgot about turtle, that's very good too... Ostrich had more of a red meat flavor, IMO... Also very good, not what I was expecting from a bird
