    That depends on whoes toilet. In certain circles a Provari dropped in a famous or notable persons toilet with authenticating documentation might command a high price.;)

    They were looking for my PV :lol:

    I agree 100%....but in the days of the ProVari vs. xxx days a year or so ago, the ProVari in the toilet was a pretty powerfun argument. I forget who did it, but there was a guy who did it on purpose after another member did it by accident. I just figured I'd blow the mothballs off of that old story.o_O
    Screw that 200$ Its getting washed off disinfected and vaped!
    hmmmm makes me wonder though surety this sort of thing happens more than people let on. I wonder how many toilet dropped mods end up in the classys?

    Nobody said heavier means better. There you go again, Steve. Making things up to be right. I'm pretty sure I rated all three pretty comparable in material quality. The Provari just comes up short with a lot of features which should remove some of that cost in a competitive market. And it's not just watts like you apparently assume.

    But then again, people are willing to pay $500 for a metal mech tube and a switch which is exactly the same as a $30 clone.

    I'm pretty sure this isn't a thread about a $500 metal tube....I assume you're bringing mechs into this?

    And when did you mention anything comparable in material quality? I think I missed that little nugget...

    In case you are confused, I was specifying all three devices. I rate the Provari very highly on every category of what it is except for the asking price.

    The point is people are willing to justify the cost of anything. I'm using mechs as an example.

    Naa naa you can't backtrack out of this one. and you can't understand why people don't take your opinion more seriously

    A poldiac is a whooping 100 bucks, with the euro down I can get a nemi for 120 ish


    I'm out, I don't debate people who make things up to help support their arguments

    Have fun kids

    OK The SX M is a very nice mod but I dont see it apealing to nearly as many people as a Provari dose.
    I don't know about that one. It's far more diverse. It's a product for everyone with a $200 budget. Not just a tootle puffer. About the only con i find with it is temp protection mode isn't DC-DC.

    I just hope that con i mention doesn't upset SX Mini fans in the same way my pricing con seems to be ruffling the feathers of Provari users.

    The paint peels away in the corners for 200$ the battery cap is a pain at times is a couple other things worth mentioning. Having PWM is for sure a cheaper way to go about the TC regulation but at least its not the low end like the above pictured Z Max used.
    I can say at least there is some competition for the Provari. So we as vapors get a to chose what fits our needs and likes.

    I never said you did. I just used it as an example to how flawed the market is when it comes to prices. HANA used to be really bad as well until they finally realized you can't sell a DNA 30 for $300+ no matter how American Made it is.

    You keep mentioning Hana like it's a decent comparison. Search how many "Hana problem" threads vs. "provari problem' threads there are on here. Geez. I like my Hana but it's not half the mod a proVari is. There's the junk hobby box it comes in for starters....buttons that fall out, a bunch of hot glue, they use to have leaning 510's...not sure if they still do.
    Again, the ProVari doesn't fit YOUR needs....nor does it fit mine, anymore. But, they fit the majority of vapers needs and there's nothing that comes close to them in the quality department.
