You know you buy a car, sooner or later it needs new parts. You buy batteries then throw them away. There isn't much being produced that isn't disposable. I remember a joke from a comedy show here in england. There's this road sweeper, he's talking to his mate about his broom, he says "i've had this broom now for 10 years, it's had 20 new handles and 40 new heads."

Could just buy a cheap broom specifically to throw away when it's worn out. It's what the whole world is doing anyway, because things get worn out don't they. And nothing lasts forever does it !.

True, but I'd rather have a broom handle made out of Brazilian Ebony than California Redwood. The chances of my broom lasting longer would be greater than a cheaper broom made out of wood that ranks softer on a Janka Hardness chart...just say'in.

If you keep buying cheap brooms to begin with, than you will eventually spend more than if you had bought a better quality broom to begin with. Even if you purchase new bristles, would it be worth it if the handle is not going to last much longer? You get what you pay for.

And as a side note, I use to sell building products including plywood, trim, hardwood floors..so ya, I know a little about wood.

I was just thinking about the provari owner ten years down the line that has absolulely every part of it replaced and he still thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread. :facepalm:.:laugh:

Possibly..or other mods people replace all the parts in 3-6 months and still dogging Provari's that hasn't had a replacement part yet. OH, even funnier, the other mods if they do need replacement parts within a year, the owner pays for and has to do their own repair. On a Provari within a year, ProVape pays for and does the repair.

Your right, that is pretty funny now that I think about it. :laugh::lol::laugh:

Again, you speak out of ignorance and are making assumptions about something that you know nothing about. You obviously have never seen a Provari, much less held or used one. Anyone can tell from your commentary that you've never owned one. I've been an ECF member for over 1.5 years and have read in the Provari forum throughout that time. I know how rare it is for a Provari to go down. I know how reliable and dependable it is. I know of the customer support that Provape provides.

I own a Provari and I know it's quality first hand. I know how durable it is made. I know that the company will provide me with lifetime support for my Provari should I need it. It is the best investment I have made since I began vaping, and I would do it all over again.

You've amused me enough for the time being. That is all I need to say, as concrete evidence will never convince someone who is willing to believe myths and rumors or their own silly beliefs.

You keep confusing me. I don't recall anyone saying it was better than sliced bread, but I often take things too literally. Where do I fit in with your statement? I haven't said a ProVari is better than anything. Back to the OP, I've only said that I am annoyed when people feel the need to pass judgement on one of the mods I use.

I like the threads where the OP asks what resistance head they should use with a ProTank on their brand new Spinner and are told they need to get an RBA and some Kanthal...

I like the ones where the poster is brand new to vaping, and doesn't even HAVE a Spinner yet, and they are told to get an RBA. :)

The forum, as I'm sure you've noticed, has grown huge. With that, I do see a lot of misinformation being given out, but I also think people just want to be helpful and pitch in, despite that they haven't been vaping long.

As long as everyone realizes that you have to take everything you read as only a guideline, and then do your own research.

BTW, I might have kept my provari if it had ego threading. :) I like ego threading. Same reason I got rid of my Baby Bullet, which was gorgeous and darling and.........pink!

Best of both worlds, in what I consider "affordable midrange" mods would be to have one Provari and one REO. I'm sure there is other stuff, but I can't afford those things. Out of 30 something mods I've had those are the best so far.

If you wanted to go a little below that price point, I was rather impressed with the Sigelei Zmax V3.

This is true with just about everything. Most of the people I have seen vaping are just using an ego battery with some sort of CE4 clearo they paid 50 bucks for at the store. They have no idea what is really out there to use. However some people are just fine using those things. My girl loves her Kanger evod battery and evod clearo. I personally don't care for that setup at all and love my mods.

This happens on every forum you have. I am big into car audio, and the nut hugging there is bad. People will straight out bash you if you aren't running top of the line equipment. Now personally I do run the good stuff but I don't care for bashing the people who don't. The internet forums give you a false sense of reality as to what 90% of the rest of the population is still using. Most people I run into and give demos too with my system have never even HEARD of what I am using. Then I direct them to the forums and the cycle continues.

Indeed. I have talked to a couple people at work who have vaped for several months or even over a year who had no idea that you could order juice over the internet or make your own juice, and we work at a software company in support. You would think these people would have some idea about the intertubes and how you can find information and things to buy on it.

A mod is a mod some people just seem to feel their mod is the best and go off the deep end trying to prove that. If it works consistently is all I care about.

It is obvious you have never experienced the vaping magic that is Bobo.

The point was most people/consumers buy products they know won't last, they don't care that it won't last, and bought it knowing they would end up throwing it away at some point. Everybody does it, don't matter what it is. Most things are built in the cheapest way possible aren't they. People that are buying cheaper mods aren't buying them because they don't know what they are doing are they. They aren't looking for something that is guaranteed to last. Things get worn out, it's innevitable. So you buy something cheap knowing it won't last and couldn't care less one way or the other.

What it really does come down to is how well people look after their possessions. Regardless of the quality of the item if someone looks after something they value then it will last no matter what it cost. I hear, all too frequently, about cheaper goods not being as good a more expensive items on this forum. But cost has nothing to do with it in reality does it. I also here that if someone owns a provari they treat it really badly, i've heard that a lot too. Seems like provari owners are dropping their provaris every other day.

So i'd say if you're accident prone or tend to drop stuff a lot then buy a provari.:laugh:
