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)
