You've missed an entertaining read. I'd be interested in hearing why you would never own a ProVari.

Not so much why I "wouldn't" but why I won't. I've been out of work for some time and just cannot justify shelling out more cash for this hobby than is absolutely necessary. That is why I DIY and use RBAs. The bottom line daily cost is pennies. I've got a Chalice I coming that costs the average US owner $160 delivered. I am going to enjoy the heck out of it. But it was free and due to the above reason would have never bought one. (Anyone want to donate one of your Provaris to a poor soul, I wouldn't hate you for it, and would enjoy the heck out of it too).

I think the Provari has proven itself as a quality device and worth owning for the reliability, performance and manufacturer tech support . The fact that it is stylish and available in a few configurations and colors is a bonus. The fact that people are satisfied with them and are excited to share is just understandable human nature.

How many threads have you seen in the noobs forum that say, "I just upgraded from (fill in the corner store throw away PV name of your choice) to a KR808D 280mAh battery with 2 packs of sample carts!!!! This thing is awesome!!!" They are just sharing their excitement. We smile a knowing smile, nod our heads and move on. But some people can't resist attempting to burst their bubble and tell them that what they have is crap. Elitism or jealousy take your pick.

The difference with the Provari crew is many have come up through the ranks of many different PVs and have a reason to understand and know the difference as to WHY Provari is better than many other mods. But it still comes down to subjective relativity. What one finds as golden another may find only as silver, or brown for that matter.

Yes I have read this whole thread. I have to say I LOVE their customer service. I broke my Provari :(. I had dropped it and the nova I had on it broke in the threading. The Provari worked still, I held the two pieces together and was able to vape, but in the course of trying to get the *bleeping* piece of nova out, I probably damaged it. I sent it to a friend that thought he could help since he had had a similar problem and was successful in getting the threaded end out of the other threaded end of different devices.

He was unable to also. But he did try to get the Provari to turn on and was unable to get it to even power up. I must have done damage to the center post with my screwdriver in my panic to get that piece out.

ANYWAY, we decided to have him ship it to Provape. A few emails to ensure that billing and shipping would come to me and not my friend, I waited to hear back on how much this was going to cost me. Well it had been three days now and if I hadn't heard from them by tonight, I was going to email them one more time. Hubby just got the mail today...... My Provari is HERE!!! They did not charge me for MY breaking the device even though they knew the whole story. I took full responsibility for breaking it. Provape is the BOMB.

It is a great device, there may be other great devices out there. What I went through has sealed my love for this company.

Just thought I would share with the class. :wub:

I promise I won't become a rabid fan though. <crossing heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye>

I'm sooooooo happy!!!! Can ya tell?!?!?!?!

Hey this thread can't die.

Let me summarize both sides to rekindle the passion.

Provari Fanboys:
1. American made, has a 1 year warranty and you can buy a second year
2. The price isn't high because you get great support, it last forever, they fix it out of warranty
3. It never breaks because its built like a tank so you don't really need the warranty.
4. Variable Wattage isn't needed because XXXX. It's just math. VW is just a fad. I don't like VW.
5. My Provari is accurate
6. My juice taste better on a Provari
7. I post in every one of these Provari threads
8. The same people that have different opinions post in every one of these threads
9. What was the OP asking?


Provari Haters:
1. The Provari cost X times more than Y device
2. The Provari doesn't do Variable Wattage
3. Some number of Provari Fanboys tell everyone no matter what to buy a Provari
4. Some think the Provari is a status symbol
5. My device of choice is accurate
6. My juice tastes great on my device/it just works
7. I post in every one of these Provari threads
8. The same people that have different opinions post in every one of these threads
9. What was the OP asking?


Haters gona Hate.
Fanboy gona Fanboy? (dunno that sounds like it could make you go blind)

Go!

We should have a stickied "I just want to argue about something" thread.I guarantee you we would see the number of anti Provari threads drop by at least half.

dam there is just too much truth to that !!

put "provari is the best" or "VV is the best" and all the haters will live in that thread


there was a thread titled,"talk me out of buying a provari"
not one single hater showed up in that post,




now they will go find it i imagine and post

The reason haters didn't show up is because not a lot of people hate the provari. OP clearly was interested in the provari, so all the posts about how awesome it is make sense. If it was a non provari thread, where fanboys are in there posting about how great the provari is compared to what everyone else is talking about, your so called haters would have showed it.

I disagree with #3. The ProVari sometimes breaks. (but the manufacturer sometimes repairs them for free!)

I do think it's funny that people who don't like ProVari's and have no intention of buying one still come into the Provari model specific part of the forum to bless us all with their knowledge.

I plan on getting one, and this thread along with other one's like it, makes me want one even more. Provari definitely gets the most attention.

I love my Provari (a lot!) its never failed me yet and it's a great conversation starter at work ( high volume casino) where like 50% of the employees smoke. I don't preach vaping or act like an expert( what do I know? I'm still sort of a noob) but if they ask and genuinely want to learn about ecigs .. I tell them what I know and have learned from all of you. This week alone four more have started vaping and completely quit analogs.. Isn't that awesome? I have started them all on hardware that fit their needs the best and budget. ( none being Provaris) Now who wants to come over for some amazing Korean BBQ? You guys like Korean BBQ? I'm an awesome cook :)

I'm hopping on the plane! I love Korean BBQ! I've been to Korea, and like most of their food. Spicy! I'm almost never without kimchi.

Glad to hear you've made a few converts.

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.
