To put it in perspective ... I make my own dripping atties primarily for myself and occasionally friends ... well, a USA based web store wanted me to make 1,000 of them for sale ... took all of 3 secs to turn the offer down as I would be working for less than $5 an hour (excluding material costs) to meet their price point. Sorry, not in this lifetime ...

So many unsupported facts, I don't know where to start?!?

The only statement in that post that could be considered an unsupported fact was that their market share was dropping.

Premium or high end vendors in growth industries almost always lose market share. Losing market share in a growth industry isn't iself a bad thing. To maintain market share, they have to do huge volume because they are competing with all of the low end vendors.

Anyone have an Alexa account? Market share relates pretty well to web traffic.

Provari used to be good for some epic innerweb flame wars.

Now no one even cares enough to argue.

In a way its sad but really it just is what it is.

I do agree with the above that this is a weird roll out. reviews are slow coming. Even the soft targets like Pbusardo hasn't had a puff piece on this yet. That would be funny. Every time he looked at it and said its ok a voice in the back ground goes "boy, I wish the button was on top". I hear that voice sometimes when I use my SX.

If forced to, I would bet that their sales growth, year over year, would be staggering (all things and indicators considered). I wouldn't be at all surprised if they doubled (Y2Y).
I wouldn't take that bet. You don't drop the price of your flagship product by 20% or more after 6 months if that product is selling well, which is what Provape did with the P3.

I was chatting it up with a new vape store owner the other day, and he's never heard of Provari or Provape.

sounds like he has not researched the market very well ... comparison would be an auto shop that has never heard of Firestone Tires.

Maybe, maybe not ... you won't know for certain unless you are privy to their marketing strategy ...

Well, since we'll NEVER know, it's not worth an argument, but I'm as comfortable with my assumptions as you are with yours. My reasons are many, none of which will convince someone who believes otherwise.

Being correct would have just about zero impact on my life, as would being incorrect.

Let's argue about features - at least that's tangible.

40 watts is PLENTY - and almost four times what I need. And since it meets MY needs, it should meet everybody's. Yessirreebob.

Readin some of your posts, im almost positive that you are being facetious.. BUT, just for the sake of tickling your troll bones, im giving you a virtual slap. :D
Vaping is great because everyone is unique! Dont bash others for what they prefer. I treat vaping the way i treat the news, try to gather as many view points as possible, including my own.. And make my decision based off of all that combined.
I get that people will be upset that the radius dosent have as many features or higher power and thats great! So you look elsewhere :)

We vape. That's a good thing. An excellent thing, actually.

Were we talking market SHARE? Because that's VERY different.

Yes - their market share has almost certainly dropped. But I'd still be that their Y2Y sales have increased dramatically, with very few blips.
