Well why not increase my post count...

I'm sure one of the reason's for the "outdated" screen was longevity. These older screens have been used for decades and perfected for usability for that amount of time. OLEDs not so much.. if I'm going to spend that much on device I'd like the screen to last as long as the thing costs.

Just adding a much unneeded point... :)

Could be, although we don't know that. Quite a few people have been saying they want OLED on their pvs, including provari. Be interesting to know more about it.

Hey now!! I shop at wal mart and I have 2 Provaries. How do you think I afforded them LOL
This may offend some, but when a Chinese product comes out, and they make the version 2 a week later, followed by version 3 within a month, that tells me there is a quality problem, hence the short warranties they have. People who buy these are the typical Walmart shopper, looking for the cheapest price as the only motivating factor.

Provari stands behind their product, and will repair them outside their 1 year warranty, and for a reasonable fee. Are they over priced? Me thinks not. Would I pay twice as much for a product that will out last a cheaper product 10 fold? YES!

Provape is not over priced, compare its quality to a Zmax....You get what you pay for.... USA made quality that last....

Well that's interesting. I've read posts by experienced vapers who own both of those APVs. Some have said they prefer the Provari, and some have said they prefer the Zmax.
Since this is a thread about whether there will be a Provari 3, I don't see the point of your comment anyway.

Richmond, Va...Right in Altria's back yard.
Zapped - its not me emailing them everyday asking for a new or updated version.
I responded to you above because yet again you decide what other people's vaping needs/habits are and then tell anyone who doesn't have your habits to pretty much go away and leave you with the pv you "love".
People are just making suggestions.

Im not saying that at all.You have a right to vape any way you damned well choose and I wouldnt try to suggest otherwise. What I take issue with is you trying to change something just to suit your needs at the expense of mine.

While a Provari is built like a tank what happens 2-3 years from now if mine breaks down and cant be fixed and I buy revision 3 thats not nearly as reliable and as a result go back to smoking analogs? Me and probably many others like me suffer because of YOUR wants and insistence on making something complicated.

I just had to drop a package off at the post office but the thought occurred to me thats theres a guy somewhere vaping on a Provape laughing at my post because he said almost the same things I did about the Provari. I'm sure hes perfectly happy with what he has BUT he can still get a replacement Provape in the unlikely event his fails.

If Provape ever decides to add VW, OLED screens and other features to a mod then I think the best solution for everyone is to come out with a whole new mod and leave the Provari alone. Maybe thats why it sounds like Im telling you to go away.

Some of us do know that.Do some research into LED versus OLED and you'll likely come to the same conclusions yourself. Newer is NOT always better ask any musician using an old fashioned vacuum amplifier over newer models.

Actually Zapped I'm not trying to change anything. You seem to get very emotional about even the idea of change. At the expense of your needs?? This isn't sensible. You have what you need. As I said, I'm not the one emailing Provape everyday.

While a Provari is built like a tank what happens 2-3 years from now if mine breaks down and cant be fixed and I buy revision 3 thats not nearly as reliable and as a result go back to smoking analogs? Me and probably many others like me suffer because of YOUR wants and insistence on making something complicated.

This is getting ridiculous. Because some people have made some suggestions about what they would like to see in the future you are saying it would cause you to go back to smoking. Also, I haven't insisted on anything. Making people suffer? Zapped - this is not logical. It's a piece of stainless steel with some electronics.

I just had to drop a package off at the post office but the thought occurred to me thats theres a guy somewhere vaping on a Provape laughing at my post because he said almost the same things I did about the Provari. I'm sure hes perfectly happy with what he has BUT he can still get a replacement Provape in the unlikely event his fails.

Sure he can. They still sell the Provape 1. No-one is trying to take anything away from you.

If Provape ever decides to add VW, OLED screens and other features to a mod then I think the best solution for everyone is to come out with a whole new mod and leave the Provari alone. Maybe thats why it sounds like Im telling you to go away.

Well they might come out with a third mod. Why not? But using the "I'll go back to smoking in 3 years if any changes are made" line doesn't cut it.

As usual youre not getting what Im saying at all here.Im not threatening to go back to smoking analogs.Thats not a choice for me unless I want to be carrying around an oxygen tank 5 years from now. You suggesting that I would do otherwise like a child not getting my way is both offensive and stupid.

What I am saying is "if it aint broke dont fix it".Many of us are perfectly happy with the Provari exactly the way it is and dont want to take our chances on a mod designed around popularity instead of dependability and quality.

You are actually trying to take something away from me by asking for a revised edition with more bells and whistles that can potentially fail instead of asking them to come out with a completely different mod to suit your needs.

Last time I checked Provari certainly wasnt hurting for sales with its current setup and even if they did come out with whats being asked for in this thread, with a completely different PV I have a feeling the Provari would STILL outsell it.

Then don't say it. You threw out there that if in 3 years time your provari broke and there was a new model you would go back to smoking. You also made silly comments about people being made to suffer just because some people on the thread made suggestions on what they would like different.

What I am saying is "if it aint broke dont fix it".Many of us are perfectly happy with the Provari exactly the way it is and dont want to take our chances on a mod designed around popularity instead of dependability and quality.

And some provari owners would like to see a few changes.

You are actually trying to take something away from me by asking for a revised edition with more bells and whistles that can potentially fail instead of asking them to come out with a completely different mod to suit your needs.

Zapped please don't be silly. You have a provari and no-one is trying to take it away from you. Go back and read my posts. I haven't asked for Provape to make a mod to suit my needs at all. But what if I did? Fact is I haven't done that, but if I did then so what? Again - they aren't getting emails from me every day asking for changes. I've never emailed them.
I had hardly commented on this thread actually. I said I don't think it would be hard to add something, and I also said its not an issue for me either way. I summarized suggestions that have been made on the thread.

Last time I checked Provari certainly wasnt hurting for sales with its current setup and even if they did come out with whats being asked for in this thread, with a completely different PV I have a feeling the Provari would STILL outsell it.

No-one said they are hurting. People were just suggesting things they would like to see. I don't think its possible to have this kind of discussion with you Zapped. Sorry - but you don't read what was actually said, or else are just being deliberately misrepresentative. Either way, your arguments aren't making sense.

Frankly I dont care what provari does as long as it does the following:
1. Has a battery.
2. has a button I can push.
3. gives me vapor, EVERY TIME.

If they want to put VW VV and a 32 inch tv on the thing I dont care as long as it WORKS. Frankly with Provari the ONLY thing Im concerned with is does the damn thing work and does it work all the time. The tank like build quality of it is its biggest selling point. The damn thing just works and does it constantly.

In short VV or VW or both, OLED or LED or 32 inch TV, who really cares as long as its built like a tank and does what it needs to do(ya know give a solid vape).

People sure get testy around here when the Provari is mentioned. I just ordered one yesterday, so I guess I'll find out what all the fuss is about.

I'm just reading and laughing.

I got my ProVari in the mail last friday it is awesome. A big step up from a mini lava tube.

I'm totaly satisfifed with my new ProVari.

No.....I....did...not. You interpreted what I wrote as that.Youre accusing me of not reading posts when theres obviously a communication issue here.

What I said was "What happens if my Provari breaks down 2-3 years from now and I buy version 3 which turns out to be not nearly as reliable, and as a result I go back to smoking analogs?"

Maybe you missed the keywords 'reliable" and "as a result" in there? As in 3 months after purchase one of the new bells and whistles causes it to fail leaving me with a backup thats far from satisfying and increases the temptation to smoke again.

How you interpreted that sentence to read that I was threatening to go back to smoking is beyond me.Im still shaking my head over that one.

Only time will tell if the eVic with be as accurate and well built as the Provari. It if is, there is no question it could cut into the Provari market and/or force Provape into a v3 to stay competitive. If it's not, then it's certainly not a Provari v3 alternative for those looking for an accurate and well built apv that lasts.

We shall see. Personally I think the eVic design will change the way people design APVs in the future regardless. 'Bout time someone comes out with a device that is software upgrade-able from your own home at no cost.

The voltage cuts off at 5v so I suspect its not going to be that high.

I also noticed that they already have revisions 1-3 listed on their site.Wonder if theres going to be a fee associated with your software upgrades?


Those are just examples on how the version number will be displayed ... there is only one revision currently in the download section (which you can download for free).

I spoke to ProVape a month or so ago, they have no plans on a v3 at the moment (though the sales rep did joke with me saying she thought it would be cool to have a built in GPS receiver incase she loses the thing).

Until then, I'm happy with my V2. It's a great desk vape, and the vaping experience is just enhanced by the weight and feel of the thing.

On another note, I can't wait to see what new information comes out regarding the eVic. That thing looks badass.
