[moderated]


ETA: 1) I think "Zero" is a bad name for a mod; but, 2) I love the face. It looks confused. It would be great next to a Vamo.

ETAA: You gotta love a guy who kisses his mod!

Sunday update: Moderation be danged! I really do adore Victor!

At 250 for a kit, are we seeing the end of provari? That name has been on this forum day and night for years, but really, custom box mods and high end mechanicals coming in at half the price, OR LESS? Do I hear a death rattle from the provari giant? Any long term member here has seen "get a provari" a thousand times, but those posts are fading into the locked section at a fast rate. Is anyone even considering one anymore? I'm not, and I used to want one more than any vape on the market.

And just for the record, noooooo. The Provari got axed by the Lavatube, way back in 2011-2012. It's long dead. Haven't ya heard?

Put the mock down and step away from the Bobo!

People don't realize that Bobo is a solid piece of aluminum. He weighs quite a bit more than a ProVari and could do some serious damage if you hit someone with him.

ETA: Referencing my blog, Bobo with an 18650 battery and a Protank weighs 276 grams.

Yet some how even being technically inferior they manages to become the most powerful company on the planet, selling comparable laptops spec wise for 3x everyone else, based on the quality alone, funny how that works, proving once again, not everyone wants the cheapest and fastest product available
LOL! Say what you will about them. My 8 yr old Macbook is still going strong. I've replaced 3 Windows machines in that same amount of time.

In the vaping world of gear the only thing I've not had break is my Provaris & mechs (for the exception of my REOS that now perform horribly).

What happened to the Reos?

this is the problem people justify the power specs of the provari because of the tootle puffers vs the cloud chasers thing, but that's not the real issue here...
I used to have a zmax and vaped at 14w and loved it, now I'm into mechs but that's not the point either. I know a lot of folks vaping at the 10-15w range and the provari is still a really costly without offering real benefits to them. the status or aesthetics I do get it, but really getting what you paid for you are not. a lot of the $10-$50 setups work just as well as a provari at the limitations of the provari (15w)
But you do realize there are people out there buying Provari/s that know nothing about tootle puffing, cloud chasing or even ECF?

One of my FB friends wanted to quit smoking. She asked her coworker what device he was using; he said Provari & during her lunch hour she went to the nearest vape shop by her job & bought one.

Neither she or he coworker have ever been on ECF & almost a year later they are still happy with their Provari/s.

I say vape & let vape!

I don't care if someone chooses to buy a $3000 mod. They did it with THEIR $$$ which means it's none of my business. If they're happy I'm happy for them.
