Or it could be nothing more than they looked at their data analytics and noticed there was an increase in sales when they offered a discount for a very short period of time. It seems everything else in the vape universe is on-sale more often and I suspect they're just following suit to keep up with the times.
I've been feeling like something is going on as well. It actually makes sense to sell off the 2.5's at door buster prices because the product line has moved on from that iteration.

The newer devices have the options that the naysayers from the past complained about the 2.5 not having. I look at it like the Blem sale is a kind of Opra Moment, selling them so affordably that everyone can have a ProVari. :)

Maybe they're raising capitol for re-investment into new production capabilities for another new product. They didn't get successful and build a business of their level without a plan. All we can do is guess, and drool whenever they drop a new product on the market.

Well let's face it. There's stiff competition out there. Maybe not in terms of quality as I'd a hazard a guess we all know and trust that Provape gear is made of the best bits and pieces in the vaping universe and will and do stand the test of time. But then there's this giant country in the east that puts a lot pressure on a quality manufacturer like Provape, so it's not hard to imagine the Mothership has to do all they can to get new customers and keep existing customers like us spending money with them. I don't think any of us can imagine the pressure a company like Provape must face on a daily basis.

Strange? How can discontinuing a product line be viewed as strange?
It's a business decision.

Ha Ha! Yeah, that's just me trying to be funny. I find the whole contest thing to be very odd, like an eating contest. Grotesque holdovers from the bygone age of freak shows.

My points finally(!) matured today. A GMZ 2.5 is ordered. A blemish but we all know about blems ;)

I had to settle for a simple Gun metal extended cap. Hopefully down the road I'll be able to find a GMZ extension cap. Also upgraded to the P3 top.

The two ProVari that I gave to the kids have now been replaced. :D

I've been watching stock dwindle. :(


You may be surprised, Robino1. Per the description the gun metal extension cap on the accessories page is GMZ....though the color may not match perfectly to your mod.

I also discovered that the P3 extension rings are available in black, satin and polished -- so if you decided to get the dragon mini, you could extend it to 18650 mode. 2.5 and P3 rings are the exact same size and threading.

Isn't that geekier than Dungeons & Dragons?;)

I can't bring myself to watch that stuff. I actually have never seen anything resembling "clouds brah" or cloud comp stuff. Just can't do it.

I just want to stay off smokes, not look like a dumb@$$ and alienate myself from the vast majority of the world's inhabitants. :D

That's okay, you still look like a bit of a dork to non-vapers.

Me: Vaping @ 9W on a mini 2.5 with a Kabuki outdoors.

Colleague: "That's a real steampunk device, huh?"

Literally.

It's easy to forget these days that the weakest eCig puts out more vapor than a cigarette puts out smoke.

Yes. I use my Ti rings in this manner sometimes, and it's kind of cool. A nice change-up look, when the mood strikes.

Well, all I can say is:
This country used to live and breathe by CATALOG orders...
So, if online sales are banned, we may go back to waiting by the mailbox for the next catalog to arrive!
Maybe I should talk to my boss and see if he wants to sell vape gear.

I saw that too, had some concerns, but went for it any way. Matches perfectly in my case for whatever that is worth.

Yes, that is all true, and I'm sure the pressure is intense. My post was regarding us and our speculations. We, have no idea what is motivating the deep discount sales of the 2.5's. It's really none of our business either, we are just a bunch of consumers yacking about our favorite shiny things :lol: I just tried to offer a positive view of the goings on, as opposed to less happy reasons.

Don't think I was being critical of anything you posted. I wasn't.

I think there's nothing going on with extra sales. The company as far as I know is doing well and prospering. They are certainly NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

Jeesh, why anyone would even post that in Provape's house is beyond me to begin with. :grr:
