Provari, the ax has come for you

[Asbestos4004]

Well, that's understandable, but I dont just read what I want to read. I have read through all of the thread and most of the 'more' people are stating they get is that it is reliable/durable and fits their needs. There are other companies out there that are as reliable as Provari with similar or better mods, which are durable as well, and reasonably priced. All in all, the backlash i see from some of these posts are just the reliability of the company and the mod, and people saying dont worry about how other people spend their money, which is kind of directly tied to the subject in hand, the cost of the provari. I am looking it in a way as why is the price worth it, if there are similar products out there that compete with it, that still work for that same niche of users that provari seems to aiming for.

Is there? There are mods that I like more, to be sure.....but none have the track record or customer service. What companies are you referring to?

It's a bit funny thing.
Provary owners had a lot of problems with cheap stuff, much (MUCH) more then average Joe with cheap stuff...

Maybe that's why they're now Provari owners ?
If my first (or second) VV mod had been reliable i doubt i would have bought a Provari. They weren't so i did.
They got me young and turned me into a fanboi !
(i love this thread, it's like stepping back in time)

im not referring to any companies in particular, just out of all the companies I doubt all of them are unreliable chinese junk as some people say. If it's track record we are going for though, I'll get back to you in a couple years and let you know how my vaporshark and beyondvape solara are doing, as I've only bought those last year. As of right now they are holding up fine though. Just because they are newer companies with less of a track record though, doesn't make them less reliable as provari. In a few years though, the same 'provari has a track record' reasoning if they dont up their game will become more and more unreasonable as a valid reasoning for their pricing. Maybe they just got lucky because they got into the game early, to me it just seems that is in fact the reasoning and only reasoning people have given, because they got in early and were part of the 'original reliable mods', therefore that 'legacy' lives on of reliability, as someone said in this thread earlier.

weak.....with you asking for so many specifics as to why they're worth the money...like specific metals and chip technology, you should at least be able to back up your statement with at least ONE example. Name a company " out there that are as reliable as Provari with similar or better mods, which are durable as well, and reasonably priced". Just one.

To be honest, I have no idea of how good Provari's warranty & customer service is. I've never had the need to use them.

Weeeel, as long as you have been here, to not know the story of whats in side, how they are made, ties to the military regarding the construction and all the other caveats that do make them different shows either not paying attention or selective reading.

Dont take it the wrong way but in the past 31/2 years more then once has this been ground to death. I mean for 2 years there is even a special edition for law enforcement and military

well, they simply do not state the materials on their website other than stainless steel. Which is why I was asking for specifics.

Pretty dang good...I needed it when I took one apart and messed up the button on the board putting it back together. They had it back to me in 5 days. No charge.

So,there are no companies that you know of "out there that are as reliable as Provari with similar or better mods, which are durable as well, and reasonably priced"???

selective reading? I do not feel I need to know the backstory, construction, how its made, ties to the military to be able to tell if a vaping mod is worth the price. I doubt many vapers out there look at their mod other than something they would use to vape on. I don't attach any sentimental feelings to my mods. It is a product they make I dont care about the history behind it, im not paying for the history.

I would also ask for just one post talking about the mod bursting into flames or the screen buggin out or provape not willing to fix a problem with the button immediately

As a company so far, beyondvape has great customer service and reliability. I have a solara and a smith box from them. But based on years and track record? No, not exactly better than provari because they were one of the firsts. I still wouldnt ignore the companies that have been good recently just because they dont have as extended of a track record as provari, which basically is what it is coming down to again like I said, the only reasoning I see is the same reliability/durability reasoning. I understand the reasoning, I just dont agree with it being used as a reasoning for the high costs.

I don't think it's relevant....I'm not knocking any other mods...they all have their place.

Na na no backtracking you want to know you can do the digging, what, we are supposed to just dig up the info for you? If you don't care, then dont bring it up. Lol


Im out have fun running in circles

I'm not ignoring any other companies. I'm just saying that it's a lofty claim. I love all of my dna mods.....but I've had many of them fail. A mod is only as good as it's chip. You really can't drop a Solara too many times...but I'll agree that it's a nice mod....except if it's raining really hard!

dig up reasons how provari price is justified other than reliability. Telling me I don't care? How do you know what I think? I am just giving input on the thread topic, maybe I am ignorant to other qualities of provari that justifies the pricing, but the same old reliability reasoning just isn't cutting it for me. There are obviously a lot of people out there who want to defend the pricing or counter argue my arguements, why don't they dig up the info if they care so much? I mean there can be reasons why, I've given some tidbits of how it could be justified. Like me posting that their website only lists the materials as 'stainless steel' and not any specific kind of stainless steel, maybe you can enlighten me as to what specific grade stainless steel they use, or the benefits/differences their chipset has, maybe the paint they use is super chip resistant. I haven't really read anything specific other than replies of reliability which I already agreed on can be a good reasoning to buy it for some people.

I don't understand how some of you have to keep arguing and end up complaining/attacking with no backup or kind of proof or statistics, that just because someone is on one side, you feel the need to attack them just because they do not agree with you. I'm not arguing just for the sake of arguing, im discussing the topic and trying to understand other peoples point of views. So far there has been only 1 reasoning given, and good for that but it doesn't justify it for me specifically. I am not saying it doesn't justify it for other people, just for me it's not a reasonable explanation, and based on that reasoning my opinion is that 'Provari is getting the ax', if you don't feel that way, then explain, because riding the train of reliability isn't gona last long, a 'Legacy' only goes so far when these companies coming out with well made devices are still here 2+ more years down the road.

So I can assume that your assembly skills suck




devil made me say it

 

[wheelie]

Riding my Harley vaping my Provari's. Hey what can I say? LOL

 

[Asbestos4004]

devil made me say it

in most cases NO! But in this case...yes. I have never messed with one before and I'd just gotten the tube sandblasted. I wasn't paying attention when the button caught the edge of the tube....that side was facing down. I was in a huge hurry to see how awesome it was going to look! hahahaaaaa........so, yes. My assembly skills suck! But they've gotten better.
