It's more of a "why bother" kind of thing. No, it wouldn't register compared to other complications. But IDK why I'd want to add a complication to my life, however small.

Great thing about vaping, to date, is there is NO shortage of options. If you can't find something you like, you're simply not looking hard enough.
Now, we can only hope this continues (Washington, DC - CAN YOU HEAR US???).
And on that note, I truly have NOTHING negative to offer about ANY device. If you like, it's damn good. But for those of you who INSIST on berating a button, well - that's just plain silly. Don't buy it. VERY simple solution. But are you accomplishing anything by berating it? Live and let live. And living, I am. Quite happily too, with my button and all.
Speaking of complications, my next one arises. OFF I GO! It HAS been fun.

Enh…it's fun to argue about things on the internet. It's the same as other people being ...... off that fans don't mention the current limits on things like the Twist and Lavatube. I assumed there were other controls somewhere on the device that I couldn't see. Fortunately, I didn't order one before I saw a review that showed the menu……I would have been .......
Really...the people who are bothered by the interface shouldn't buy one, and the people who like it should. *shrug* Why would anyone think everyone should fit into one group or the other?
Because the media and government have turned us into sheep! When was the last time we had anybody other than a Democrat or Republican in office?!? It's time to beat the sheep! Actually I'm just kidding. We probably had one in office 3 Presidents ago and I just don't know cause I don't pay attention. I have no democracy. And for those non-usa-ians reading this thread, if I don't follow my own country's stuff, I have NO clue about your country. So I'll assume that you're probably sheep too
hehehe *fake rant over now*
Because the title of this thread asked a specific question. I was just trying to argue that budget isn't the only concern.
--25 % buy Provaris because they're new and don't know any better.
--40% buy them because humans are social animals and they want to talk about them and feel accepted and loved.
--30% buy them because they're shiney and have blue and red colored lights. ( ok, that might be 95% there)
--5% buy them because they think more money spent equals a better product.

You definitely missed at least one category. But I have NO IDEA what numeric value would be attached.
- "X"% buy because they spent a TON of money on a BUNCH of other things, yet still felt less than completely satisfied.
I speak of that which I am. Specifically, $7,388.07 since 13-Nov-11. Definitely less than the $9,450 I would have spent on cigs (for wife and self), but also definitely MUCH more than I needed to. SINCE investing in the ProVari's, my expenses have dropped precipitously (about 65% to be specific). I track stuff. Actually, I track EVERYTHING. I'm a very data-driven person.
I'd list all the devices that I have owned here, most of which ended up getting sold or given away, but I'm afraid I'd crash the ECF servers.
So, while your categories may well be representative of a portion of purchasers, your percentages are definitely not. Nor is your list complete.
I repeat something I said earlier, I have NOTHING bad to say about ANY device, including those which I felt REALLY SUCKED. Nor have I ever professed, with such confidence, to pretend to know anything about what drives someone else to do something. But I do know myself. And I do know that I fit nowhere in your perceived scenario.
But it was an entertaining read. I enjoy many works of fiction. So, thanks.

Oh, yeah, I was totally just winging it. Thought someone would pick up on it and do it better. You got all serious on me

Don't know what percentage I'm in but I bought the mini because it's the shortest tube vv on the market and it has an ohm meter. I really don't care about the meter for vaping, I adjust to taste no matter what the voltage says.
Another category missed.
x% will never buy one because they think bells and whistles are for tourists and they believe their own taste will tell them more about whether they like the vape than any meter ever could.

In fairness, what the internet is missing most are two things, in my opinion, both being Fonts. One for humor, the other for sarcasm. Ariel 12 just doesn't quite convey emotions properly. Specificity is definitely required. Here's to you 
With apologies for getting serious.

Well, hand me a disposable camera and a funny vacation shirt. I am IN!
Yes, the meters are key for me. As previously mentioned, I'm a VERY data-driven person (call me OCD or whatever you wish). The voltage meter? Not useless, but of VERY limited value (for me). My throat tells me everything I need to know in that regard. The Ohm and Battery meters? Priceless. If I need to explain why, you'd never understand me.
PRICELESS!!!
If you want all the features a Provari offers but do not want to pay the high price the Vmax is incredible. I love mine and could not be happier. I have never owned a Provari but I do not see how it could be any better and it costs twice the price. As for the Twist. I like to have more power when I need it and like to be able to check my ohms as well as like that I can just change the battery instead of having to charge the entire device.
I'm data driven too when it's called for. I don't need data to salt my food though. How high I have to turn the knob before it gets to where I like it tells me what I need to know about resistance and on anything I've used more than a couple days, I have a pretty good idea when the battery's gonna go.
OCD you say?
I had a poll about that a long time ago.
It might be time to wake that up and get some more input.

I personally think we, as a group, are generally more OCD than the average person.
And that may be something we want to explore a bit more some day.
When i was looking at getting off the ones that actually look like cigarettes, these two were where i ended up. I dont know to much about ego. I choose provari, it is amazing, thus i am actually vaping now i don't know what to call what i was doing before. Some people in my threads did tell me the c twist isn't a true vv. i don't know what that means exactly. I am glad i picked provari. Eh, the c twist is a better value though.
They are probably referring to the fact that the ego twist is PWM (pulse width modulated) rather than steady voltage. So, is the Provari according to ProVape. So, by that standard it's not true VV either.
