IMHO owning a ProVari has become a bit of a "status symbol" and as such there is a bit of snobbery associated with many of it's users. ProVape would do well to update the ProVari so that it maintains its reputation as a front runner.................. but with a lower price point..
yea......... someday in the distant future when they arent selling several 100 a week they may change something. lol
what amuses me about the price argument is the base provari unit is actually the cheapest mod I own, LOL, i spent more on my poldiac even.
for the VW argument most people who use a provari arent in the hobby aspect of vaping and need the new feature of the week, most want to pick up the device and it just works this time, every time. and many dont have 9 tanks, it is for people who want to just vape, not vape for a hobby. sorry to insult anyone but I think people who change tanks all day need to reevaluate what they got into vaping for.
I own one and while i have what I consider better and dont use it much i still think the provari is one of the top APV's ever for reliability accuracy and longevity. in my case it has become the ultimate reliable backup.
as for the batteries they were used long before APV's and vaping and will be around even if we move on.
many say it is missing many of the newer features, but that could easily be reversed to read if you need those new features the provari isnt your mod, let it lay and move on.
