Anyone have a idea when the new models will be available for purchase & curious if the will be the same price as the current model.
I have always wanted to have one of mine Rino Lined professionally for a better grip...I kinda dig the new designs, I'd like to add one to the collection I spose.
- Re: Looking like a dildo. Let's be honest. We're all a little jaded having been involved in this subculture for any amount of time. Anyone not familiar with this world will think ANY PV looks phallic. Colors are fine.
- Addressing the logo rubbing off is awesome.
- Dislike horizontal grooves. Regular ProVari 2.5 would look much better without horizontal lines interrupting circular pattern. Too abrupt.
- I feel like adding horizontal grooves to Mini says "Hey, look! We changed the Minis slightly while also tying it into the design of the standard ProVari!" More thought could have been put into Mini design even though it's merely a cosmetic change... which leads me to...
- Did you really use a comic-sans-like font for the word "Mini" on the ProVari Mini? It looks rather juvenile and unsophisticated. Not a fan.
Consider doing a focus group with ECF members
I have a white provari mini and I'm quite disappointed with the fact that even after taking great care it still some how ends up getting scratches and the colour coming off. The worst is when you accidentally touch it and you have eliquid on your fingers which makes marks on the provari. I'm very disappointed after paying so much for an expensive mod. It's only a few months old but looks as if its few years old instead come on Provape, please. I hope the new one won't be like the current one

I don't think you "take great care" of your provari. I use mine all day long every day. I use it in my office, in my garage working on my f4i stunt bike, in my workshop and every time I go out. I recently dropped it in the workshop onto a concrete floor and only got 2 small scratches (one at each end) and bent the carto in my jtank. I knock it over all the time when reaching for it and I have got ejuice on it multiple time with no issues. No fading.
I don't baby my black provari standard and it is almost in perfect condition. The provari is designed to be like a tank. It's a reliable and proven PV that you can drop and know it will work exactly like it did when it was new. In the case that something happens to go wrong lrovape will help you fix it. That is why people buy them.
Excuse my spelling. I'm typing on a broken touch screen in a bumpy car.
I've read somewhere that the colored V2 finishes aren't as durable as the black finish. Any truth to that? Are the blue, pink, and purple painted differently somehow? I'd like to get a blue, but I hear they scratch up easily.
So I picked this up at the E-Cig Crib in Minnesota today.
They're also available at the Vermillion River store, apparently. Same price as the regular provari, mine is a blue LED. Feel free to ask questions.

After dropping closer to 1200.00 in 4 months a 5 or 10 ml sample juice isn't really a lot to ask for I don't think? It's not like I'm a 1 time customer. It just put a sour taste in my mouth is all I'm saying.
I actually use my provaris. I don't baby them they are tools. Tools are meant to be used. Weather I'm mowing grass, at work or the range it's with me. I don't abuse it but don't worry about wear either. The finish on Mine actually looks like a well worn blued handgun finish. Def adds character.
there are a few things that put a sour taste in my mouth when speaking of Provape but they make a fantastic product.
I love provape but this new design is just plain bad! Oh well in my case i bought a provari for performance not looks
Maybe this is their "New Coke."
The fans demand the old style back, and they drive up demand for it.
I promise that crossed my mind in regards to the New Coke analogy. I almost hope they were being that sophisticated in their marketing. Holy smokes that new design is ugly. I hate what they've done to the Mini. If they don't come out with a new plan and address the options the variable wattage mods are offering, they're going to be left behind.

I agree that this is ugly. My first thought regarding the standard v2.5 was "looks like a dildo.."
They could have atleast put grooves on the top cap so we can use flush-fitting tanks/attys. I plan to tak a dremel to mine. On the other hand, the mini isn't much different than before.

That would explain why my black provari hasn't had any of these issues.
I ordered the blue the same day that the colors were introduced (August 2012?). I have dropped mine a few times onto the asphault in the parking lot while getting out of my car (I have a bad habit of resting the Provari on my lap and forgetting that it is there.) Also dropped it a few times onto the concrete sidewalk while fumbling with door keys and the Provari in the same hand. Very minor scratches (more like scuff marks) that you have to intentionally look for to find. My white Silver Bullet and black BB are powder coated in a glossy paint, and they both have deeper scratches that are more noticable.
There are options available if you take your Provari out of the house where it has more chances for surface damage. Serenity Gear SerenityGear Leather makes very attractive leather sleeves custom cut for appropriate length and cut-out holes for the LED screen and power button. They also make belt holsters and lanyards.
You can also make an inexpensive rubber sleeve ($9) like this one. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/provari/326118-diy-inexpensive-rubber-provari-protective-grip.html

Good to know, Baditude. Thanks for the info on the durability of the blue finish. I take good care of my vape gear, as I would with anything I own, but accidents do happen.
