Provari takes a lickin keeps on....

[Xcighippy]

The other day I put my Provari in my backpack on the back of my Fatboy and left for work. This is the one time I didn't put it around my neck on the lanyard. Anyway, forgot to zip the flap and as soon as I crossed some railroad tracks at about 30 mph I heard the strange sound of something falling off the bike and hitting pavement. In my mirror I see my cell phone and Provari skidding down the street in traffic! My first thought was to keep going figuring that the are both toast after being run over by the cars behind me.
I thought better and turned around when it was possible. I made it back and saw my phone (it was in a case) sitting in the center lane undamaged. The Provari was in the left lane and as I approached I got to see a car run over it! It skittered over a lane closer to me so I ran out and retrieved it and my phone.
The tank was gone and the carto was still attached but flattened. I thought for sure it was a gonner. I put another tank on it and guess what! Still works great!! Other than some surface gouges and scratches, it came through undamaged!
For all the naysayers out there, Here's proof Provari can take just about anything you can throw at it.

Woah... that is some pretty good battle scarring on it. Glad you and the Provari are ok.

Keep on vapin'

It got ran over by a car and still survived, that's awesome. I'd still say you got real lucky that it didn't damage the button or the display, though. You should send your pics and story to Provape. Time to get a JWrap!

Nice to know and thanks for sharing...

Yea, My heart sank when I watched it get hit! Although I couldn't see exactly how much of it was actually run over.
It is a miracle the button or display survived untouched. I think the carto is actually what got run over because it was flat. But still attached!
I think it is a little late for the Jwrap

Man. I would have been ....... Im more ocd and .... about the finish on my vape gear though... even more so the more it costs. Its probably because, like most of us, its as much an accessory as wearing a nice watch.

Yes as well as pretty much ruining any potential resale value! ...... is putting it mildly the way I felt. I wanted to kick my own a**. For being such a dummy. I should have known better, I already lost one set of keys exactly the same way! The one thing that made me feel better is that I made the right decision to go back for it. I almost didn't turn around!

I agree with BB. Send pics and story to Provape. It's good to know I've got a tank for a device.

A co-worker of mine just bought a Provari after seeing me with mine. He's mentioned a couple of times that he's "very careful" with his new prized possession and refuses to bring it out an about for fear he's going to break it. I keep telling him one of the biggest reasons to buy a Provari is because you don't have to worry much about breaking it. Gonna have to show him this thread.

Great story!!!!!!!!!!!

Hit the pavement going 30 mph, run over by a car and still vaping!!!!!!!

i Was Considering Sending Mine In For Some Work, Dropped From About 6 Feet High Onto Cement Floor And Now It Fires When You Shake It. Kills My battery Very Quickly. Don't Know If They Will Cover It Though, And I Want My Afpv Before I Send It In.

Best story yet was a battle between a Provari and a lawn mower. The only time that I've read where a Provari got damaged beyond repair. But it was quite a battle. You should have seen the lawn mower blade.

 

[jfrich]

Glad to hear it survived such damage, and still vapes. Good story thanks for sharing.


classwife must be killing anti Provari posts.

That is great. Another mod I've heard of handling that is a Reo grand.

I couldn't imagine any anti provari responses when it got run over by a car and still works.

You may be correct, but I've noticed that sometimes just the mention of Provari brings out the hate. It's really quite annoying and juvenile.

I'm guessing the blade looked as bad as the Provari it chewed up.

Quick, somebody go run over their Vamo for a comparison...........

Yeah, they are tough and, hey a few fights with cars is a great way for a Provari to earn a nice wrap - that'll fix it right up and, give it an excuse to find more trouble to get into.

I have two but my fave has been through three wraps, several piles of horse dung, off the roof, through the washing machine and, I think it thinks the kitchen sink is it's personal swimming pool (even if there's no water in the sink.) *shrug* I like to vape while I cook and, I love to cook.
