Old used provari's

[Ar10shooter]

Hi, first post in this forum. I bought my first provari a few days ago. A regular black and red with the 18650 extension cap. Wow, is all I can say. What a difference it has made. I wish I had just bought a provari first and left it at that, but I guess their is a learning curve to make sure I liked vaping. 3 1/2 months smoke free......


well anyway what I am getting at is I would love to see some pics of your old worn Provari's. I love the look of quality items that show wear and tear. So please if you have any pics post them.

My provari is less than 6 months old so I don't have any pics for ya, but I wanted to say welcome to ECF & congratulations on your provari purchase.

Thanks for the welcome. I can't wait to see what my provari looks like in 6 months of daily carry

I bought both of these v2 minis used from the classies

 

[Ar10shooter]

Wow they really hold up well. How often to you carry them?

 

[WillyZee]

Actually I have 3 of them I bought from the classies ... I use all 3 everyday and always have one with me.

After 5 months of daily use (purchased new), my black full-size is finally starting to show a little wear..

And you have to look at it close up in bright light to see it..

And even then, it's still very minor.. A camera would have a tough time picking it up, unless it was a good one with a large zoom...


The "worst" of it is partly around the bottom edge of the extension cap, where stands up on an oak desk.. It's not even that bad..

There's also some very faint wear starting to form on part of the edges of the crop circles, where I hold it..

It's also got a tiny chip in the cerakote where you can see the steel underneath.. I can barely see it from arm's length in very bright light (then again, I have good eyes, & I know where it is)..


I'm probably not as rough with it as some others, but I've dropped it a couple times, and knocked it over on my desk a lot more than that..

I'd say it's holding up well.. I expect wear & tear.. And I look forward to more of it -- gives it character...

I've seen a few photos of some fairly beat-up ones.. Nice look to them..


Anyway, enjoy your new ProVari!

I bought my 3 off the classifieds. 2 are just about perfect and the other is used-hard looking.
He used it for 3-4 months while working construction so it has a lot of character but it works perfectly.

Howgli that is so cool. It looks awesome proof right their that a provari will hold up, and keep on working.

Two-plus years old and never "babied". It's been whacked, thwacked, dropped & rolled more times than I could even begin to count. It's got some nicks and small scratches, exactly as one would expect.

I clean it every two weeks or so, and it performs exactly as it did the day I unwrapped it. I push the button, it fires.

A wonderful relationship, it & I.

Great thread. Would love to see more pics!!!

The satin black is 9 months old. Has become antiqued. Not babied at all. Rolls around car, dropped, put in a day bag unprotected-

Ignore the Golem and white/black Mini...

ProVape should copy the denim and furniture industries & charge a boatload for a couple new finishes: "Distressed" & "Antique"..

4 years old. Satin finish ProVari's are eternal and just become more and more shiny as time goes on. Edit: The V1 laser etched logo is all but invisible to the naked eye, though.

Mine are over a year old. I bought them both from the blemished stock at ProVape. I added a few custom pieces to gussie them up a bit. I keep them both loaded with different juice and use them daily. I'm glad that I went with the Provari from the get-go.

Ignore the Golem...

C'mon. You actually thought that was in the realm of possibilities????

V2 mini/satin silver with blue led. About a year and a half old. I work in construction, including demolition. It's been through hell, and my V1 full size is almost 3 years old and looks much the same as this one. I second the satin silver finish comment.
