But I digress, I've gotten the information that I wanted to get from this thread so I'll be leaving it now in the hopes of avoiding further misunderstandings of this nature.

I hope my post above didn't get lost in the turmoil. If you bought a V2.5 ProVari today, and they came out with a V3 VW ProVari tomorrow, chances are you would be able to send in your ProVari for the V3 upgrade for a fairly low sum. Which is not a feature many manufacturers offer.

I'm 100% sure I don't care what you, or anyone else, vapes. Only you should care. Do what makes you happy. If there is a new model coming out soon we'll all learn about it at the same time, when it is announced. Until then everything is just speculation. Moving on...

IMHRO, I am with jwj63 on this... Vapojoe86, this is perhaps a difficult venue for one to bring to light such sensitive question with an attempt to gather sound and factual answers that only Provape can provide - as I am positive you have concluded within this thread's first page. Lastly, I will recommend (respectfully of course) for you to contact Provape and perhaps, knowledgeable reviewers and product manufacturers/distributors for more accurate "sneak peak" revelations and to simply get a unbiased opinion... Just my 2 cents.

If your really wanting provari quality but want VW there are other choices

BUUUUUUT...........

Semovar - around $210 base kit
Futura - $220 base model
Wizard evolved - $400 to $500

I have several high end mods with VW,, personally i dont see it, even when I change tanks i still end up adjusting somewhat, juice, coil type of tank etc all affect vape. and just so its clear ALL i do is RBA. even when all of them are almost identical resistance each needs it's own fine tuning anyways. so the whole Idea if set and forget is a scam. maybe it works for the clearo junkies but in real world testing it seems to be largly irrelevant which mode you use.

I am not alone in saying some of my current mods are actually believed to be just as good if not just slightly better vape wise then the provari. yet the provari still seems to work just fine and hold it's own for us.

its all about what you want, if the provari doesnt provide that then find something else and move on, this argument about justifying the cost is why we defend this mod is getting silly. out my my whole collection proivari is close to the bottom for cost.

sorry but the reputation and proven reliability and wicked customer service is worth every penny to many of us, and just so its clear my provari hardly gets used so I have no reason to even promote them anymore, but I do because the reputation is earned, proven and justified.

and yea if they do release a new one it is almost gauranteed you can upgrade just like th e last time when I had all my V1's upgraded to V2's. They have stated more then once they have no interest in VW But in the end only provape knows what is coming an they arent saying.


(just my 2 cents since the thread went that way)

I was more concerned about the fact that every single thing you said in your post in regards to me prior to asking that question was wildly inaccurate and did not reflect my actual words. But I digress, I've gotten the information that I wanted to get from this thread so I'll be leaving it now in the hopes of avoiding further misunderstandings of this nature.

Vapojoe86, I am truly disappointed that it unfolded the way it did... Hopefully you have learned from this one. Nonetheless, good luck with your research and I am hopeful that you will make a wise decision when the time comes.
I personally appreciated the thread (and I own multiple Provari's, dna20's, VW's and mechs) - indeed a good paradigm shift. Keep your head up.

How come things went so much better when I started a thread about wether or not to buy a provari?

Because you didn't come in asking for info and then launch a salvo before telling another member that they're trying to discredit you and what they've said is wildly inaccurate. ;)

Hopefully he didn't let the door hit him in the backside on the way out. :D

Simply because of the non-challenging approach (smart and wise). You just don't go to the Hawaiian locals and question them on why pork and rice on their luaus (although it's absolutely delicious and part of their culture for centuries!) and ask why not consider adding Ribeye Steak - you have to know your audience and thread carefully... As you have obviously done. ;-)

Thanks for the positive post, it really is appreciated. I never meant to start such a combustible thread, I swear I had only the best of intentions but I suppose some lessons must be learned the hard way. I'll be staying positive and vaping on as usual, and hopefully one day I'll get my hands on a Provari (regardless of whether they add VW in the future or not).

skimming a few posts, All i can say no matter what you discuss it would be more productive if you dont lash out with accusations or unfounded representations of other peoples decisions about why they purchase something (especially devices you dont own yourself) even if you are in fact being attacked first. ignore people trolling or flaming and move on :D

Thanks Thrasher. I feel like I held up pretty well until page 7 or 8 (I don't remember now and it's not exactly worth going back to look for) but even then I was just trying to point out when I was being misrepresented myself, but perhaps I was too brash. This thread has honestly felt like I've been in a fight against 50 people all at the same time (a fight I never wanted). As I said, I never wanted negativity to come from this thread and I feel like the only lesson I've learned is to walk on eggshells when questioning any aspect of the Provari in the Provari forum. Nonetheless, thank you for the words of wisdom sir.

And for anybody who didn't see my previous post, I am buying a Provari in the near future regardless of whether they update the user interface or add VW.

If I could buy a meter that tells me the exact salt content of my eggs, and I knew exactly how salty I liked my eggs, I would use it every time I made eggs. That would save me the trouble of shoving a bite in my mouth with an unknown salt content and then adding more salt as I went which would cause me to waste an untold number of bites of eggs before I got them to the salt level that I prefer. The meter would allow me to set the output of my product as opposed to the input, which in turn would eliminate the need to tinker with my salt shaker every time I made eggs.

With this statement right here, you should just buy a DNA20...No need to waste your time metering your salt with the likes of us, and this is coming from someone who now uses my ProVari as a back up to my mechs, and for no reason other than because I can.

It's all good among adults... (Right? ;-)) like I shared in Cob24's post (clever question)... You just wanted to know information by presenting a thought provoking question that evidently sparked expected reactions... My friend, you just don't go to a social club and ask the members assembled, "why a green sport jacket with gold buttons?"

Like Logancrane stated, don't sweat it and perhaps consider continuing your research by looking into dna20 and upcoming (beta testing at this time) dna30 devices... As you can see in my avatar, I run a dna20d device as my "go to supplier" and Provaris among others, as back ups.

Let me ask this... Do you consider the Semovar, which has VW, to be a better device?

Because that revolutionary VW device basically has the same screen as a ProVari... In fact, most of the Semovar specs mirror the ProVari. I would venture to say that is exactly what the Nivel chip was intended to do, was to pair up the fantastic regulation of the ProVari with the simplicity of VW.

If VW is so important to you, why not get a Semovar? I can't speak to the quality of the materials (Thrasher can) but it looks to be a solid device, and I like the fact that it is modular in design. If I were looking for a VW device right now, that's what I would get.

Seriously, if VW is a feature that you want, don't get a ProVari just to say you have one. Get what you WANT. ProVari does not, and may never have VW. A Semovar has all the features you want, with the exception of immediate availability. You have to find one in stock somewhere. I bid you good luck with that, but it really does sound like a better mod for you... And of arguably equal quality to our beloved ProVari.

Ah yes but a blue sport jacket with silver buttons would look so much better, silly social club members :D

No really though I maintain my stance that VW is more convenient than VV and I also maintain my hope that Provape will release a Provari with VW capabilities in the future. Nonetheless, I plan on enjoying the V2.5 Provari that I'm going to order next month. All I have to say is this thing better blow my socks off :vapor:

You are tracking with me... ;-)
Seriously, whatever you decide to do, will be good by the one who matters - you!
If you in fact order one as you mentioned, I can share that you won't regret it; it's a wonderful device - top performer. Best of luck with your decision and all future endeavors.

I've wanted a Provari for over a year now, and I'm still getting one next month. The lack of VW is not a deal breaker for me (though I maintain that it is a valuable feature) as I'm able to adjust voltage to taste just as well as anybody else. I'm also willing to put up with a single button interface in return for the high build quality and excellent performance. Furthermore, the passion of the people who have posted in this thread in defense, disgust, or otherwise has piqued my curiosity; any product that can have such a passionate and cult-like following (not meant to be offensive) is certainly worth trying!

Like you well stated on previous posts; it's simply the same Apple appeal... Great product knowledge and market strategy... And at the end of the day, it's all about your vape budget and your vape collection and needs' plans... Opinions, we all have them like rear ends.

Oh, don't get me wrong... If you do buy a ProVari, I'm sure you'll quickly find out just where all this passion is seeded. We love our little ProVari's, and you more than likely will love it too.

I was just wondering if something else was even on your radar. The Semovar, Wizard, Apprentice, and Futura all seem like they would be more compatible with your vaping needs than a ProVari.

Although, like many VW device owners who switched to ProVari, you'll find it's "limitations" are non-factors. That single button archaic interface is very easy to navigate, so much so I can comfortably change settings now without even looking at the screen... I don't miss having VW one bit...

I guess my point is, the ProVari isn't the only WELL MADE, and WELL REGULATED device out there anymore. So unless you're willing to sacrifice certain desires simply to figure out why the ProVari has such a dedicated following, I don't see the point in making that compromise.
