Wrong thread....the OP is offering thoughts on the ProVari.
and I'm offering my thought's as well; specifically the Darwin is better than the ProVari
The heck with both of them, GGs rule!!!
Seriously, they both are wonderful mods if you like those sort of things!
Admittedly, they both also have a funky look, not that the GGs don't!

I've had my Provari for about 3 weeks now. It is my first mod and I have a new UltraMax mechanical tube mod in the mail so I dont have any other mods to copare it to at the moment but I can tell you that although every new ecig product I try feeds my growing enthusiasm, the Provari is the first ecig experience that has left me not wanting for anything. This device is so versatile!! I have found a new appreciation for all kinds of juices, atty's and cartos in my way over indulgent stash.It doesn't matter what you put on it.You will find the perfect sweet spot for it all.
Great size,great feel.Not to mention it is defiantly in the top 3 for sexiest mod..
My only worry is dropping it being all high tech and stuff and I wouldn't mind a flush juice troff for re feeding overfilled attys when dripping.
Great start to my mod collection!!!

way to go!
there's a thread about people who have been vaping the longest on this forum... so far about 3 years max... funny thing is the ones that post are still in the woodwork, with eGo being the most "advanced" pv more or less... haha
not knocking eGo (it's my backup), but for you to start out with a Provari... that is what i love about it; user friendly to the max...a newbie can get as much out of it as a veteran; and it doesn't get any better ... yet.
anyone mention the Eclipse eq?

My provari is over 3 months old now, not a single breakdown on it. It has been dropped, sat on, buried under tools in my box, attys flooded all over it. Still kicking just fine. Darwin didn't do so well, but no worries, darwin is sold now.
Always nice to keep backups around.

I sold my ProVari .. didn't like it.
Bottom Line; whatever floats your boat.
Party Time; Osama Bin Laden is dead! Bring out your ProVari and/or Darwin and vape it up. Reminds us we are one nation, lets not fight.

While it is true that mechanical stuff can fail as well you can affect most repairs on such units at home with a couple low cost spares. For example I used my Prodigy V1 as essentially my only PV (did buy a Jantystick at one point but it sucked so bad I don't really count it) for over a year simply by having a couple extra switches and adapters I could swap out in case of failure.
This isn't possible to do with the Provari or a Darwin any failure on said device will require a trip to the manufacturer for repair.
For most of us who've been doing this for a while this isn't really an issue since we tend to have a few old devices laying about.
As I said I think these sound like fine devices if you have something to fall back on, I simply don't suggest it as an only device particularly for someone who's just starting vaping (this is the newbie forum after all).
Also their rather high buy in price further hurts their usefulness as a starting vape. After all for the price of a Provari and the requisite batteries/chargers you could buy a mechanical mod like the Prodigy with a spare mechanical switch and adapter as well as 6 months worth of juice, atomizers and batteries.
A Provari's $159 price tag is deceptive since you'll still need to cough up for batteries at $11-12 a pop plus the charger $15, that's if you don't go for the 18650 batteries which requires another $20 for the extended endcap so well over 200 and you haven't even gotten any atomizers or juice yet.
Like I said sounds like a great device and I'll probably end up with one as soon as I can scrape up the cash but I just can't suggest it as someone's first PV.
good point about price point... some cannot afford it... that said, ihave 2 points:
1. the button is made to do "ultra" clicks.... look it up if you want, i don't remember the spec.
2.these new pv's (including the darwin and the upcoming eclipse) are not only new tech (for ecigs) but also mostly manufactured in the U.S. a good thing imo.. we need to support home grown industry...
so my point is, if you can afford it... vs any other luxury / vice ... hobby ... you name it here; fill in the blank....

i missed skex's point about first timers getting one.... yep.
I will point out that these things sell fast (if the wait for a new one is substantial, depending on current supply) in case a newbie decided to not follow through with vaping... although they would lose the 1 year warranty... not a good thing for the second owner, imo... nevertheless, they do sell fast in classifieds.
