NOV-2011
Blu Disposables: Liked it, so -
Blu Premium: It blew.
V2 Cigs: Good. Thought I'd stick with them for awhile. Proceeded to try a ton of other 808 stuff, all pretty much the same stuff.
DEC-2011
Elite 808: Pretty cool, but not much different from the KR's.
JAN-2012
Go-Go: I liked it! Again, thought I'd stick with it for awhile (HA-HA-HA!)
FEB-2012
L-Rider (Lavatube clone): My first VV. Whoa, this sheet is GOOD!
APR-2012
ProVari #1 (Silver full size, Red LED, w/extension): LOVE IT! Wife still prefers Elites, so goodie for me.
MAY-2012
ProVari #2 (Black full size, Red LED, w/extension): Because I realize having the L-Rider as a backup simply will not work. There most definitely IS a difference.
AUG-2012
ProVari #3 (Silver full size, Blue LED, w/extension): Wife grew weary of constantly changing batteries. Tried my ProVari. I'm screwed.
DEC-2012
ProVari #4 (Black full size, Red LED, w/extension): An "anonymous" gift. I've since learned who it was. Regardless, now we each have one, plus one backup each. She silver, me black. All have JWraps now though, so the colors no longer matter.
I've purchased other stuff since, most have been PIF'd or sold. Out of everything, only one has stood up to the challenge, performance-wise. That one won't go anywhere. And, as a result, I've ordered another from its ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT creator. But that's not in my hands yet. If it all goes well, I'll see it sometime in June.
The bottom-line is that the ProVari remains my go-to device. It's what travels with me, and it's something that I know will always work for me. I've sent some back for maintenance, but none have ever actually died on me yet. I'm very hard on things and that's more than I can say for anything else that's had the misfortune of being purchased by me. My wife's have never been sent in. They're as good as they day I got them.
If you ask me if it's "The Best", I honestly have no idea. It's my favorite, but that's about all I can offer. I've not regretted any of the purchases, even for a single moment. And if I could turn back the clock, I'd have bought it out of the gate.
T-t-t-t-that's all folks!
