Provari is much cheaper than one of those wonderful pieces of art.
I overwrote. If you'd like to read the post that was once here, please view my blog, which you can access to the left of this post. It is my belief that many of the mods on the market today are worthy of great praise. The Provari is a specialty collectors piece. As was the Darwin. The GG's, the Caravelas, the Orions, these are all fixed volt collector's items. Now don't get me wrong, you don't have to be a collector to own one of these great devices. What IS a collector? If the definition of a collector is someone who will continue to collect for as long as they can, or as long as they are alive... Then many of us are collectors and many of us are not. Right? Some of us are happy with a PV or 2 that work. Some of us have an idea of what we'd like to own, before we own them, and in that way, we will continue to buy PVs until we are satisfied. I am in this category. I began vaping with an idea of which Personal Vaporizers that I wanted. So for years now, I've been slowly collecting devices. Its been a long, hard process, because I am not priviliged when it comes to my finances, not in the least. It takes me a very long time to make $50-100usd. But I put my money into PVs because PVs are what make me happy. Smoking was a hobby for us, wasn't it? Yes it was. Some of us maybe didn't think about smoking as much as we actually smoked, but you were still a hobbyist. You owned lighters and you picked which lighters you wanted. You had preferences in tobaccos or cigarette brands. In the same way, we have preferences in PVs and juices, right? So, I guess what I want to say is... its OK to collect and its OK to not collect. Think long and hard about what you'd like right now. What you can afford right now. Get something maybe a little less expensive now, and save up for a few months or a year before you buy that ULTIMATE PV that you saw and said "Oh wow, I have GOT to have that! Thats going to be what I will be vaping from! That is what I want people to see me vaping with!" Save up! If you want to collect, collect... if you see no reason to collect, then just get a few things that make you happy! If you can be happy with 1 PV and a couple eGos, thats great. That is the path that I try to lead people down. You should have a couple eGos and a PV if your a hard core vaporer. You should always have at least 3 battery devices so that you'll never be caught without one, OR with JUST one. Yknow? So, weight out your options and your needs, buy something you like that your going to drool over while you wait for the mailman to deliver it to your house, something reasonable, in your price range... Then, if you want another mod, and you've got the money, save up and get that 2nd mod. Make sure you have some eGo batteries or a 14500 mod that makes you feel comfortable at parties or around others, yknow? And then have a couple mods. You don't have to do it all at once either. Save up and LOOK AROUND. I can't stress that enough. Look around, because I've been at this 4 years and there are STILL mods I'm JUST NOW seeing and finding, haha. There are mods that are $350-400 that are NO better than a mod that is $30 shipped and made in china honestly. Maybe that $300 mod is made with tougher metals and it looks nicer, but you can get a mod that WORKS just as well for $40 these days... Just like you can actually get a mod that looks better than all the expensive rare mods for under $50USD! haha. LOOK around and find what you love the most and SAVE UP for it! 
In that way, we are all collectors/hobbyists. Whether we stay collecting is up to us. But either way, we're all in this together and we're all having a lot of fun. This is a great past-time, a great hobby.

Holy wall of text, Plumes! Though I didn't read it all, there's some good information in there!
I had my heart set on ordering a Caravela with my tax return for this year, but now ... seeing that I would have to basically get on the waiting list now, then if my time comes before I get money, I'm screwed ... looks like I may have to think of some other beautiful mechanical to spend my money on =[

Mattboy and anyone else interested in learning more about the Mods of our vaping world, please click on my User Blog. You can access it by clicking my user name and selecting "View Blog Entries" I am going to delete that giant wall of text to allow room for more PV pictures!! I don't want to keep posting text to this thread, so here is a picture of an upcoming mod out of europe called the "Zeus" I found a picture of it via the mod database website thats 1 of the 1st results on google when searching e-cig mod pictures. Here she is:
Pretty interesting design right? haha. It almost reminds me of another e-cig mod I know of... Its on the tip of my tongue... Hmmm Idk. But its different enough to not be considered a complete knock-off and I like the design quite a bit. Looks like a promising new mod out of the UK.

Nice. Very nice shot of the Provari - best I've seen I think. They often look a bit muted in photos. Glad we're back to looking at pictures on this thread.
Nice family Paul. Functional pieces of Art are valuable for the collector and droolers ;-)

I might need to start looking at something like this!!!!
Been vaping for a little over two weeks got of analogs looking to step up from my ego t. Whats a set up like one of those run?
Get a genisis and a 18650 battery mod. The sooner the better. Will save you lots of money in the long run. Once you try one you will see.
