I just watched the full video from pbsardo and his interview with the owners of Provape and in particular the Provari. I am super impressed, thoroughly impressed with how they operate and how much they allowed to be shown in their factory. I will admit, I was not a total fan of the Provari, but after watching the video and seeing the employees and how the factory is operated, the price is justified. When the new provari comes out, I will definately consider purchasing one or two!

If you have not seen the video, check it out, it is very interesting and enlightening. It is totally worth watching.

I too am interested in seeing the what Provari3 looks like, what its specs are and what will come in the box. Pbsardo and the owners hinted in the video that the new one will be competitive and better than the provari 2.5.

I will admit, after researching the provari 2.5 and reading about others experiences, I was not swayed to purchase one. Too me they seemed like a Mac or a vaping status symbol. I knew they were durable and what not, but its limitations, menu systems and expensive add-ons that really should come with the unit upon initial purchase, is what really prevented me from purchasing one.

After watching the video and seeing how they are manufactured and how much the company prizes its employees and how much everyone at the plant cares about the customer and the end product, it truly makes a potential customer see where their money is going. I still would not purchase a Provari2.5, but the new one could be a different matter altogether. I am anxiously waiting too see what is planned for release in the next few months.

Simply phenomenal! Thanks very much to both ProVape and Phil Busardo for making this inside ProVape view available. ProVape - extremely impressive!

I used to work in aeronautical manufacturing and their processes are simply top notch, equaling or exceeding the best manufacturing processes for items typically of a much higher value. And it is great to see an American manufacturer doing so well.

I had been waiting for local vape store to get some ProVari's in; no more, it's ordered!

Watched that video and it confirmed my suspicions. What it also did is make me lose more respect for DNA modders with bad quality control that cost more than a provari.

What, some guys in a basement shop using off-the-shelf chips and stuffing them into a box isn't as good as a professional manufacturing facility, which employs former engineers from the aerospace industry?

I have not watched the videos yet, but I will.

I was not hot-to-trot to have a ProVari when I started this vaping journey....but once I did buy one, I very quickly bought 4 more!!

Will be interesting to see a v. 3, 'cause I can't imagine what they could add/do different that would make me any more satisfied with the product than I already am!! Maybe something that never needs recharging? Lol!

It all depends on what one is looking for in a device, I'm sure, but it's entirely possible that I might actually start saving $ now, as my vape spending has slowed way down!! :)

I am hoping for the following upgrades:

-Up the amp limit
-add two buttons or even one extra button to make navigating the menus and adjusting voltage quicker (NO gyroscope gimmicks for navigation)
-bigger screen so that ohms, voltage and battery life is shown (this will reduce menus needed)
-options to have a screen stealth mode
-micro usb port so that it has built in charger and pass through capability
-have the top rings for beveled and tank included
-have the normal and extended bottom caps included

If those features are included, I am in for two at the minimum. If all those features are included, it would be worth the money!

A ProVari isn't for you, but I'm sure what you think you want is available through FastTech...

Well, thats your opinion. If provape is going to compete and be more user friendly compared to the competition, some upgrades are going to need to happen.

And please, do not tell me what I need, or where to get it.

Sure does not take long for trolls to ruin a thread.

You may want to read through all of the ProVari threads and you will understand why what you want will not happen from ProVape...

Yes, that's correct; one showed up in post #13...

MrPlink, I sadly have to agree with you.

I have seen many trolls come out of the wood work that totally ruin the provape name. I am not a promoter of the brand nor a hater, but one thing I despise are the "elitist narrow minded fanboys". Hopefully this thread stays on track and does not turn into the spectacle that usually becomes a provari thread. I did not post this thread for a bashfest/clash of the egos.

I plan on checking out the new goods from provape, and if the new cool is worth it, I will try it out.

Some people are just perpetually in a bad mood--and looking for a confrontation--on both sides of the ProVari never-ending debate. :facepalm: It really is a shame...

Thanks for bringing this video to my attention. I've been following ProVape's success from the very beginning--ProVari was a complete revelation and a game changer when it was first introduced, for many different reasons. I bought mine some time ago and still use it, but I've been also eagerly awaiting a V3. The old girl, even though still great, is beginning to show her age. :D

I hope they introduce the V3 soon--before the FDA ruins it for all of us. Anyway, a ProVari--old or new--will always be a part of my vaping survival kit.
