Aww @roxynoodle, I read it. :)

As well as all the other posts in this thread.

:glare: SMH (S=shaking; M=my; H=head)

It has actually been many months since the last Provari vs _______. Why do this now? It was nice and calm (kinda, sorta). What was the point?
Maybe to give you something to do on a Sat. night. :p

The problem with ProVari is they need to step up their game. The vape and materials used on a ProVari are far better then an IPV, iStick or MVP. But compared to a DNA 40 (now that the glitches are fixed) or a YiHi SX350 type mod, they really don't seem to be worth it anymore.

Hmmm….the glitches were supposed to be fixed in the one I got but that :censored: is for another thread.

For those of us who never go above 15watts; for those of us who don't cloud chase; for those of us who never get dry hits and don't care about temp. Protection; for those of us who only like tube mods and for those of us who see value in well made, well engineered and well backed things, ProVari are worth every penny... There are many of us...
And this rii here is what many people seem not to want to hear….it's been said countless times only to be met with we're not being specific enough.



The things I read about Provape missing the mark or needing to step up their game makes no sense to me. It's really OK if a Provari is no longer for you……..MOVE ON! People act like moving on is a sin. Buy any one of those devices that meet your current needs & be happy with it.

ProVape must love these Provari hate threads ... I'm positive they always lead to more Provaris sold :blink:
These threads were what finally got me to try one, and reluctantly at that. I was put off by the single button (remember when that was a big point of contention!). I also thought they were expensive...but then I got one/ got it! I am so glad I finally gave in and....Just got a ProVari! :lol: :D

Just get a ProVari, you'll be glad you did too:)

To add to this, do you really think these companies are turning a good profit having to push out 5 revisions a year to chase the hobbiest? Every new model leaves 10's of 1000's of past models that now have to be sold for a discount in hopes of regaing just some of the manufacturing costs.

This is an unsustainable business strategy that leads to cheaply made products that cut corners, which is exposing itself quite well on these forums lately, bad buttons, mod catching fire, failing screens, mods stuck auto firing.and many more.

the invader mini is brand spanking new, already there is a rev 2. To fix many problems.

And now they left ALL those venders with rev 1 holding the bag, and they either have to knowingly sell them to you or lose that money.

How is this good for the industry?
One of my local BM is feeling the affects of this as we speak & I'm sure many others are as well. To have inventory you have no other choice but to reduce prices on because #2 3 & 4 just hit & they're left with "old" stock they only rec'd a week ago. :shock:
This industry is moving fast due to the different range of vapers but for new vapers I will recommend a Provari IF it's in their budget.

Sure they do. I think it is just market adjustment and they have probably paid off the new equipment they had to buy to make them. There are plenty of companies who have perpetual sales...
But we we lucky if Provape had a sale twice a year. Now it seems they're running them often.

This is good. I don't think it is because they are hard up for sales, but have reached a level where it now costs ProVape less to make them. I think an atty is on the way also...

I swear they were running them just because of me ... preying on my weakness they are :blink:

So just get one :)

I'm being tempted by a couple of sales this weekend, too. One is a mech, a Rangorak. Price is unreal for an American mech. The other is a red Sig 150W. Love the battery life.
