I'm always amazed when a Provari thread pops up that someone jumps in to say they are bored and leaving. Then surprise they return.
Provari. Too Good To Be True?

I work outdoors doing industrial construction. The area we're in right now is extremely rainy. I carried my Provari in an outside pocket all one day and somehow or other water got inside the unit. I pulled the bottom cap, literally POURED water out, gave it a quick dry with a paper towel, reinserted the battery and it was good to go. Friggin amazing. I love this little tank of a PV.
You get what you pay for and the Provari remains a good example of build quality, durability, and a device that simply functions as it should in spite of all the Chinese VV/VW everything-but-the-kitchen sink devices out there now.
But I think some of the people that make them may have eaten in a chinese restaurant once or twice but can we really hold that against them
Yea, and it's people like you that keep drawing people like us back. you know, the ones that just have to badger rather than post useful comments.
Well here is mine. Provari, unlike some of it's owners, seems to be the most reliable VV APV out at this time. I only say seems as I do not own one yet for any true comparison.
None the less, Provape cannot be expected to supply the worlds Vapors with Provari's. The shear # of Vapor would likely make that a venture in futility.
Placing Price aside, production on that level would likely trash QC and only serve to hurt a top of the line product.
Provari Owners need to realize this and lighten up a bit. They should instead, speak to specific needs rather than Preference and assist rather than Drive.
We as a community need to realize Not everyone wants or needs to be:
Blonde
Blue eyed
6 foot tall
As for the button... yeah, when you NEED to do something, you need to click click click it. However, I personally prefer it that way, as opposed to having several buttons that I'd use once in two weeks. If they offered a version with more buttons, I'd still get one button version, even though its sometimes a pain to click around it. Especially because I never lock (turn off) my Provari.
Other than that, it can be prettier, but that subjective. I have other, prettier, "built like a tank" SS mods, yet I vape exclusively on Provari. Its kinda sad.

Awww I just ran out!!! But, have no fear, Reg is here....
Just take this portable Popcorn popper, and hook your ProVari to it (cause, we all know a Prothingny can do ANYTHING), and in a short while, you'll have enough popcorn for everybody!!! yumyum..

Thank you, Sir. You are quite generous . . . Come and get it!

Would be kind of nice if the ProV was lighter in weight. However to accomplish that it would either have to made from aluminium (less durable) or titanium (oh boy, I wish but the cost would be even more prohibitive) so whattayagonnado? Its a good compromise as is IMO.

At least it's not made of unobtanium like so many mech mods seem to be these days.
...Did I miss the start of the Provarinati movie? I see everyone brought popcorn...

So say the warranty expires, can you renew? Or will Provape fix a broken one for x amount of $?
Yes, they will fix them after the warranty expires. The cost depends on what is required to fix it. All the repair bills I've heard about sounded reasonable.
And there are more than few who got theirs fixed at no charge even after the warranty expired - but I wouldn't count on it.

Well what I have to say is not new. I bought my Provari when they first came out. Had to wait like 4 or 5 weeks for it. It always ...... me off when I would try to use an LR atomizer. But I lived with it. Finally the screen on mine got pushed in somehow and since I had the extended warranty I sent it in with $20 to take care of the LR problem that turned out to be something that a lot of people were unhappy with. I got it back 5 days after I sent it which was about 18 months ago. I bought a Vamo just in case my Provari ever needs anything again. If I ever buy another ecig to use alot it will be another Provari. It never fails. Plus they make them in my old stomping grounds Monroe Washington and not in the prison there. One other thing I got the Chrome finish which I think they stopped. Only problem I have had is the end cap for the 18650 battery has some big flakes off of it. The reason they stopped I think.

I have a V1 I got in December of 2011. Yea, it still works like new. Only needs an occasional cleaning...
Yep aren't they amazing but for me that $20 upgrade to the V2 was perfect since I like using 2ohm cartos with a DCT. Also the Vamo works good but sure doesn't feel like a Provari.
