I hear reliable more than revolutionary. Its not provapes goal to fire the lowest ohm coil or run at the highest power. Its to be a sturdy, stable, reliable platform that's suitable for 90% of the vapers out there. Why try to bash it when it does what it does perfectly, Nathaniel? It doesn't go where I want to go anymore but I certainly wish my sx350 device and my DNA devices where HALF as reliable as my provari.
No don't get me wrong I am far from bashing it, and your absolutely right in saying it is suitable for 90% of vapers out there, as are ego pens. All I'm doing is responding to the naive saying this device is the pinnacle of technology when there are devices much more capable and just as reliable. It is good, and some may feel the price is worth paying, I think it's overpriced based on my own needs and i'm pretty sure many others feel the same, and over here in the UK it would be sold much more expensive anyway, i'd imagine at least £250, which is over $400.
What SX350 do you own which is unreliable? A DIY job or custom build i'm guessing, making it the device thats unreliable and not the chip, as my experience with this chip found it to be accurate, reliable, with fully functioning safety features - I'm not talking about device to device, i'm speaking about chip to chip. APV's will all last long depending on how they are looked after anyway, my gf's itaste vv3 has been going strong since january, and i've got an old vamo thats been alive for nearly a year and still does it's job, and the build quality on those is far from perfect. And lets not forget provaris aren't without there issues either anyway, just google provari issues lol. All i'm saying is the SX350 chip is more advanced and capable with all the necessary safety features included as well, whereas the P3 chip has the same capabilities as chips that have already been on the market for ages, with some added bells and whistles. It's built well no doubt, the looks are subjective though.
The 'minority' of users asking for more power is still estimated to be 5-10% of this $1.5bn industry - and growing - thats $75m-$150m market right there, and a higher percentage of the high power users are prepared to part with a load of cash for a good mod then the 90-95% the provari is supposed to cater to, the vaaaast majority of that 90-95% don't even know what variable voltage is, and would laugh at the idea of spending a fortune on any luxury PV device.
I don't understand why provari can't be criticized without a bunch of sensitive and agitated fanboys jumping to its defense like they own stocks in provape. I swear if I posted a thread right now saying i've got an issue with my old v2.5 provari there would be a huge list of frantic fanboys commenting how reliable and great there device is, the mountains of mods they've outlasted, etc etc etc. before i'd even get an answer on how to sort my issue.
All i'm saying is the provari is good, but its far from revolutionary and i personally found the P3 kinda disappointing, like a fancy SVD V2. Each to their own, i'm sure all the fans will buy it and love it, but there's no need to get bent out of shape because not everyone is impressed with this mod
