All the defensiveness, and the hostility towards a person who's just asking a polite, simple, well-articulated, justified, and (what should be) in no way an offensive question. You've made the Provari a lot less attractive to me, just like apple-fanatics have made macbooks and iphones a lot less attractive. It's simply impossible to have any sort of level-headed conversation, and as a result I have far less trust in anything that's said about the quality and performance of the device. And, how would adding a feature take anything away from a Provari, and why should someone who happens to appreciate that feature be attacked? In fact, I've seen something very similar among mac-fanatics: a feature that the mac-device lacks is unnecessary and anyone who wants that feature is ignorant. When apple then introduces said it's all of a sudden indispensable, and apple innovative for including it. I fully expect the same thing to happen if Provari ever includes vw and/or a multiple button system. If I ever get a Provari (and I was expecting to, some day, not so sure anymore) I certainly don't want to be associated with (many of) you, and might need to disguise the device so that no one recognizes it as a Provari.

Except no one attacked him personally (or at least I didn't) what was being "attacked" was the idea that VW vaping is "better" than VV vaping. At this stage in VW devices, the vast majority of them are not accurate enough or durable enough to justify replacing a ProVari.
Once he made it clear that he was talking about the handful of devices that use .1 watt adjustment, and not VW chipsets or devices in general, the argument ended.
ProVape might (and probably will) come out with a VW ProVari someday. They won't compromise on the single button operation, though.
What you need to understand is that even though the ProVari is ancient, compared to most vaping mods, it has been and remains the gold standard that all other VV/VW mods compare themselves to. Every time a new mod comes out, the same discussions get hashed out.
This mod has "this" feature! The ProVari is now obsolete! We had those discussions when the Vamo came out, we had them again when the eVic came out. We will have them again when the latest and greatest mod from China comes out. The reason people buy a ProVari is for reliability and durability. (There might be a few who do it to join the "club," but they are the exception, rather than the rule.
You should be impressed by the fact that people are willing to defend the ProVari against someone with a degree in Electrical Engineering and a very valid argument.
I love my ProVari. I hate iPhones and Apple products in general and their fan base specifically, because they are blind to the advantages an open system would give them.
We are vapers. We are members of ECF. We know all about the latest and greatest mods and atomizers, and we happen to own ProVari's and other mods. None of us started out vaping using the ProVari, we used ego's, mechs, Darwin's, Vamo's, eVic's, LavaTubes, and other mods. The ProVari is our mod of choice. Some people will never "get it" until they try one.
Hey Ocelot, if you are reading this, I don't want a zombie. Only the Zombie's end cap. I like the look of the Stealth better.
