What's the point of having a "vape Jesus" avatar if you are going to act like the Spanish Inquisition? From where I'm standing, it looks like the attacks are coming from the other direction, but maybe I'm just reading into your words wrong.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition. FETCH... the soft cushions.

Lmao. "I'm not bashing the provari". Followed by "it's an overhyped product", "overpriced product", "stupid looking", "lacking functionality", and "full of hot air"... And so on.

Just have fun with your SID, if it makes you happy. That's it.

Moving on....

So! You think you are strong because you can survive the soft cushions. Biggles! Put him in... the comfy chair!!!

Im defending the meak by calling out the troll fanbois who dismissed a perfectly good question and dragged the OP into an argument over his personal preference, though it was a very entertaining read.

Peace be with you.
So...you are defending a non-existant and/or imaginary group of people who have not posted in here yet.

Or maybe you are talking about the OP, who was and is perfectly capable of defending himself and his viewpoints, and did so very well already in this thread.

So you've managed to insult all the ProVari owners who posted in this thread, and now you are insulting everyone else who posted too.

Please leave us in peace.

You see, this is exactly what I am talking about. Exhibit A.

So you're saying a product cant be in the top 10% of it's field and be "overpriced/hyped", it's defenders full of hot air and lacking in certain functionality? Have you ever heard of this one company based in the US, it's logo is a piece of fruit.

Peace be with you

He'll have to a lot better to do so. First off he could try by saying something that makes sense. He obviously read my post and took out of it exactly what he wanted to hear. He say my post through provari fanboi goggles and totally missed my point.

Allow me to enlighten our dear friend. If I had $200 to burn I'd like to have a provari. They are an extremely fine vape indeed. They are also lacking in a few features that can and most likely will be addressed in version 3 or 3s or whatever. I mean seriously, having a couple airflow grooves on the top connector is PV designing 101, seriouly. And yes, they are a tad overpriced but they get away with it cause at the moment, they are the King of the hill. Although, a lot of that status comes from a very loyal and vocal fanbase that over promises how good they are and like the good sheeple they are they vigorously defend the provari against any question anyone may have about the price and other shortcoming just as they did in this thread.

Again, this is not an attack on the provari, I'm just calling out the fanboi sheeple who secretly know they overpayed to buy into an overhyped product, and other than admit the provari isn't god's gift to vaping they would rather attack with great vengeance and furous anger those who attempt to question the glory that is thier provari.

Overpaying? You do realize that all the VW units that are even remotely comparable to the Provari cost MORE than the Provari right? But they aren't arguably better.

So basically you are simply being cheap by wishing Provari would make a less expensive version of the VW feature you can't afford?

So, just for instance, if I were to say to you, "No offense, but you are creepy, ugly and obnoxious, but otherwise OK!" you wouldn't be offended?
It's overpriced by what standard? Any of the "Real" VW devices that would compare to it, are actually more expensive! The Semovar, the Cyborg, and the Wizards, being what I would consider of equal quality, certainly not any of the Chinese $50 mods! And yes, I have tried many of those mods! I assure you that you can't throw them on the floor, pick them up and have them work! But I can do that with my Provari!
I even broke my Provari! Yep, killed it dead! Sent it in, cost me $6.85? in shipping and had it back in a week. Yes, that's all it cost me! What do you do with your's when it breaks? Throw it away, like so much of the other cheap crap that I tired of throwing away?
"It's overpriced for what it is!" OK. have you priced an Ihybrid? Better yet, have you tried to buy one? I think they are overpriced for what they are, but they sure sell out in a heartbeat! Look at some of the other mechanical's out there, heck, look at some of the RBA's! It's nothing for people to spend more on an RBA than I paid for my Provari! Are those people stupid as well?
You like what you like, good for you, enjoy it! I like what I like, good for me, everybody is happy! See how easy that was?

So now you are using the ProVari sub-forum as a soapbox to bash on Apple product users.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Ihybrids are a joke and way overpriced for sure and don't get me started on "high-end" mech mods, what a joke. I'm sure I'll be buying a provari when the next gen comes out. Hopefully they address the few minor complaints I have with the unit itself and hopefully the Chinese really step up their game and make a good solid clone of the provari so provape will come down a little off their premium prices. If provape would just address the couple of issues in the design and drop the price a little I'd carry the provari torch all day long. Till then, there are better options.

I think ProVari are quite reasonable. I'd pay far more $ for a ProVari; I know they will work as long as I choose to vape.

Saying ProVari are overpriced because other mods have more features is a bit silly. My Hublot or Gevril Gv2s lack features a basic Casio watch has, but once one acquires either, one knows why the price points are worlds apart.

Name the better options so I can get one of those too please:). Why do people keep talking about 'better options', then can't tell us what those are?

Name the batteries you own right now. Which of them are the better options?

If it makes you feel better, I'll name mine if you name yours. And I have MORE VW units than VV, uhh... 3x more ... and I always end up vaping on the Provari:).

And Sigmus9, your signature: "I do not suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it."
- I agree with it, you do seem to enjoy yourself, and what a cute tagline!

I keep hearing " when the Chinese come out with a less expensive Provari clone".

Haven't they had plenty of time to cook one of those up by now? I have seen a few mods on FT that have some similar markings as the standard Provari, but that's about it.

With all their genius electrical acumen, how is it they haven't cloned the ProVapes electronics?

Again, they have had 2+ years now to try.

Weird huh.

OK, so what improvements are you wanting to see?
I go back to the OP's comments about the car with all the bells and whistles, and not seeming to get them with the Provari. He's right, you don't! It's built for durability and to work in the extreme environment's, of which I can personally attest to! I like that about it, that's what I bought it for, I wanted something I wasn't going to break, and it's been all of that other than my own mistake, which Provape took care of for me.
If you want all the bells and whistles get the Evic, but then do some research on that and see how many have locked up with software issues, how many heads have popped off when dropped (fixed with two screws now) and so on.
And again, if you look at the VW competitors, they are priced higher than the Provari, and in the case of the Cyborg, "they might fix it if it breaks!" I kid you not, that is right in plain sight on their website! Now doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy about buying one?

Don't forget the fact that that if you want your prvari to fit flush with a lot of tanks you need to drop an additional $20+shipping for a proring, or if your favorite tank sits flush already but gets it's airflow from underneath like most tanks you need to drop $20+shipping for a top with grooves cut for airflow.
I mean seriously folks. I've had a chance to vape with a friends provair 2.0 and it does vape nicer than my Sid but it's not a whole world of difference, it's not night and day, I'm sorry but it's not.
You do realize that virtually everything other than a cartotank has air holes and works with a ProVari, right?

Heck, one of the most popular "low budget" glassomizers out there, the Protank, was designed for the ProVari.

Wouldn't that be pointless, since they would need to make it VW to please the masses?

Which is funny because VW is just intelligent VV that takes atomizer resistance into account. It's not rocket science, surely a chip can perform a quick ohms law calculation and back into wattage/voltage as needed. In this sense, VW just isn't necessary. I have VW mods and I adjust them up and down just like I do the ProVari's VV adjustments. My eVic shows both at the same time which I really enjoy, but I still "adjust" voltage, not wattage because for me, it's easier to relate to. "VW" is basically the last bastion of anti-ProVari zealots, excluding price which is a relative thing anyway. Given the price argument, I shouldn't own an Oris watch when a $20 Target watch does the same thing, e.g. tell time. Hell my cell phone tells time, why even bother with a watch! Ugh, it never ends. And for everyone who posts up "well an MVP V2 does what a ProVari does!" doesn't realize that sometimes I want to go over 5V, especially with a high res atty. Try doing that with an MVP and let me know how it works out.

that's nice and all but my favorite tank system is a cartotank system. ikenvapes inside an ibtanked glass tank. I think the provari would be perfect if it had some recesses for airflow on the top, VW in .1W increments and a slightly lower price. just my opinion.
