Wow just ordered Lavatube off the Portuguese site for 43€ , a VV device complete with batteries and charger at that price,never tried the VV devices before,however at that price it will give loads of people a low cost introduction and can only be a good thing,just got to have a bit of patience now,its pre orders and delivery estimated end of December !!!!
Of course if I like it the natural progression will be a shiny metal VV ;o)

While I'm considering adding an iPro to my arsenal at some point...

I have to say in my relatively short time on the forums, this Izord guy is probably the most overzealous, condescending and insulting person I've had the pleasure of reading.

Can you dial it back some? You have some fantastic information and some great arguments (however off topic to the post they may be). It's a shame, because I feel like people will write you and your arguments off because of your tone.

Unless of course you're not really here to educate or provide options, and you're just here for your own amusement - or still trying to justify your own purchase - in which case, carry on.

Why do I have the feeling this thread is going to get closed soon?

Dun dun dun! Provari Vs Lavatube Battle! I predicted this!

& I also am under the suspicion(just a feeling, don't hate me for saying this) that there are undercover provape folks making dummy accounts to talk trash about Lavatube and praise Provari. Saying no names, just too many people(brand spanking new accounts, no posts mind you) out of NO WHERE all of a sudden " OMG, i just bought this Provari it's sooo great". Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Provari ARE excellent It's just odd. I don't remember so much hoopla about them when I first started up here on ECF. It's been like Provari pandemonium as the Lavatube's debut came closer and closer.

There you go. Personally, I'm not going to buy any of these overpriced PVs. To me they're just nothing more than flashlights with shiny appearances. It's a rip-off to me. I'd rather buy a new cordless drill. I love portable tools even if I rarely use them. They cost about the same as these expensive PVs and I could easily see why they are priced that way. They have rotating gears, a motor, which in itself is a fairly complex device, sophisticated wiring, etc. Oceans away in their complexity in comparison to a flashlight... I bought a VV box mod to see what's all these variable voltage thing was all about. I don't even use the voltage dial now. I don't need 5-7V on cartomizers with 1.5 to 2.0 ohm ratings, which are the most common cartos you can buy in any e-cig store. I see nothing special about these expensive mods other than their price.

What disappoints me about these expensive mods is that they don't even have to invent special types of juice feeding system. All they have invented is the shiny housing. The first time I heard of them I thought they have a special kind of battery WITH special kind of juice feeding system... Naa. Until they invent a PV that fits in the palm of my hand, battery lasts a day or two, juice feeding is efficient, etc., I'm not going to be sucked into the hype.

Only reason why this new industry is not taking off as fast as it should is because of government regulations. We are living in a very advanced age. Every advanced country is supposed to have its own version of a PV far more sophisticated than what we have today.

Their are so many MODs out there it is overkill. Although I received Provari as a gift and absolutely love it because it has all the bells and whistles I can also see the quality that has gone into it I would never consider purchasing it. As for the Lavatube it looks like a decent PV but time will tell as to whether or not it stands the test of time. I believe we are at a crossroads where MODs will be coming down in price because they are so easy to fabricate and there is a great demand for them IMHO. My last car was a Lincoln TC...my present car is a Grand Marquis LS...basically both cars are identical except for the name and the price.

Good point. Did yours come with the pressure relief hole drilled out or is it sealed? I know the newer ones were drilled out but not the earlier models.

yeah but even if it dies the day after the 6 month warranty runs out I'll still feel I've got my 62 bucks out of it and I'll toss it

I'll prob be purchasing a lavatube in the near future...the provari intrigues me and I would love one someday. I think ill have to work my way up to it...I still have lots to learn about vaping. Off topic but I also plan on purchasing a G6...I love seeing what everyone has to say about product in this forum...helps me make educated purchases.
