Can't understand why some people automatically assume that ProVari owners are being condescending or smug when they (we) say we're satisfied with our choice of APV.
The $3,000 Otto Carter-engraved Steam Punk mod sold by Vaperev, now that's a status symbol. My ProVari is simply a well-functioning battery tube, once which cost me far less than what I use to spend each month on cigarettes.
I have trouble getting my head around why some people want to make such an ECF career out of disliking the ProVari (along with those of us who use one), and who make it such a personal thing.

nope, the vivi nova and the pro tank 2's don't work either. I really think it is the ProVari. Need to contact them at lunch
I have no issues with the Provari or it's owners. I'll probably own one at some point. What I have a problem with is provari owners trying to make others feel bad about their purchase of something else.
If I owned one and someone told me they bought a vamo or something, I would tell them " awesome, hope it works well for you and keeps you off of cigs". I wouldn't say "it'll break soon". That is being smug and belittling.

and they only offer email support so looks like I'm waiting on them to respond......
I really don't think most ProVari owners care what others use, but comparing mystery metal PRC mods to ProVari is a joke... It would be like saying Ryobi power tools are comparable to pre-PRC Milwaukee power tools, or PRC made Clarks shoes are comparable to Allen Edmonds...
I don't see that as the case. I see many people claiming the Vamo or SVD or ....insert device here.....claiming that its as good as a provari and only costs $35. In most cases claiming its better because it has VW. ProVari owners are more than willing to address the comparisons and perfectly right to do so. But, I see provari owners recommending the MVP to people looking to upgrade more than they recommend provari. We don't really care what people use to vape....we found what we like. Its become a sport to try and make provari owners feel like idiots...not the other way around.
Yah, I'm not a Provari owner and don't plan on being (I like VW and "boxes") but what the heck is the fuss over the price tag? I smoked 2 PAD at $65 a carton so $180 is around, what, a couple of weeks?
I got my VTR earlier than I had planned when I added up the long term cost of replacing Twist/Spinner style batteries as compared to 18650s. I mean, two to three times the charge capacity for half or less the price? There was no reason to wait.
(Edit to finish that thought there... not sure why my brain wandered off)
Considering the longer term expense, it was worth spending more up front for a device I believe will last a significant amount of time. My VTR was a bit "steep" in terms of an initial cost but I'm banking on the device itself being durable and needing less expensive purchases (coil heads, batteries, maybe a new tank but not often) to keep going.
And given any number of long time vapers I've come to trust say the Provari is a solid build and the company does great customer service, the price doesn't seem bad. Cheap and inexpensive aren't always the same thing.
Like the MVP. Nice device but no replaceable battery. To me, that's the same weakness of the Twist/Spinner class of batteries I was using. A dead battery is a dead device. Making it and the eGo devices nice starters but maybe not that great "long haul".
I mean, now that I've hit my first full year, I'm looking at years of vaping. At the start, like everybody, I wasn't all that clear where I was going. Now I've got a bit of experience and some clues and can see this as a long, long term thing. So the reliability and durability of a device becomes more valuable.
Of course, the funny part is ex-smokers talking "price" when we used to spend bucket loads of money on things we were going to set fire to and discard. Go figure?

Every thread that starts like this always turns into someone feeling ProVari owners are a condescending bunch of angry people hell bent on belittling anyone else who doesn't use a ProVari.
I don't care what the next person uses- THEIR device of choice does not affect the quality of MY vape.
I've never recommended a ProVari to anyone. I don't try to count the coins in someone else's pocket. If someone comes to me that's serious about quitting I always recommend EVOD starter kits or the MVP 2.
I honestly don't understand all the hostility towards us. You ask questions- we respond yet somehow we're either wrong, don't know what we're talking about or elitist.

I'm all for everyone using what they want and what they've found works for them. Doesn't matter if it's a $8 or $200 mod. As long as the user is happy with it, we should be happy for them. We shouldn't be pointing out flaws abd weaknesses to try and make them feel bad for buying something else. If someone asks for an opinion of pros and cons, then by all means be honest. But if someone is happy with their mod, let them be happy.
We are all just trying to stay off cigs. It really doesn't matter what we use. The fact of the matter is we all probably spent much more on smokes than on the mod we're using. I'm pretty certain any one of us could afford whatever mod we wanted. Everyone gets what they want for whichever reason. I'm just as happy and excited about someone quitting smoking and using a cig-a-like as I am about someone using a Provari, vamo, mvp, mech, whatever.

Are you talking to us or the provari bashers? Read the threads from the beginning pal
I did. And if you read back a bit you'll see the post that triggered my responses.
Someone posted they are happy with a mod they purchased, to which a provari owner replied "until it breaks"
he should have been happy his fellow vaper was happy, not make snarky comments about his mod being inferior to his own.

He wasn't making it out to be inferior as you took it but pointing out the mod in question in fact does break. There's threads about it.
Um... to be fair, he replied to a post that was a bit over the top with a comment about being "ashamed" about having bought a Provari.
I mean, "I like X better than Y" is fine but what do you expect with, "I'm ashamed I bought Y"? Seriously, ashamed? Really?
That's getting kinda silly doncha think?
Ok Yeah. I didn't really realize that it was a response to something else. So in that context I understand the reply.

Well, never fails to get a bit weird in... The Provari Zone...
(Rod Serling cameo later)
(Edit: Seriously, why the heck does that one device stir people up so much? Where's my VTR flame war? Huh? Well???)

I wish I had the cash to afford a provari -- unfortunately, my ecigs tend to get put through a lot, so I'm not really comfortable dropping that much cash on them. Congrats to all the proud owners.
Yeah dude, maybe I'll have to try the...BLACK MARKET....ooooo
RJmod CATs and MVP 2.0
There are threads about broken Provaris too.

Surely you knew that Provari mods can also break, right? They aren't magical, they do fail and break.
