Provariiii questionoo

[jclay1192]

The provari looks pretty cool,, very simple yet eye catching with its grooves and lines running up and down the body,, anyways.. Why do people justify the price by saying " its a simple product that is very durable and can be fixed if broken" Now I knoww what an accident is but how could one seriously damage an item worth 200+ dollars (with tax.. battiers maybe an extension cap) when you can get an item with MORE variables and options that does pretty much the same thing.. only downfall is NO REPAIR (shouldn't be a problem i handle with care.) I can't see why i'd have to pay more for a product with AMAZING accuracy but is verrryy dated and can't do more than any other APV on the market.

/endrant. (if a provari was 50 bux i'd probably consider buying one since i'd almost be downgrading from my MVP or Vamo v5 IMHO)

 

[Thrasher]

So now that your done ranting about why you dont want a provari......... what was the actual question again?

 

[jclay1192]

Why would someone go for a Provari over all the other fun shiny things ;P

gosh provapes gots me all

 

[gotch23]

i you don't want one...
then don't buy one!

Excuse me while i have a toke off my 'vari

 

[hookem horns]

I'm confused. Weren't you talking the other day about getting one? The girlfriend shut you down huh?

 

[patrao_n]

Let me know when one day your board stops working in your mod. Mine will still be working long after your dies. If you dont want ir dont get it.

there are many many reasons why a provari is better than others. a HUGE reason is that it will outlast other cheaper mods. take the very popular vamo for instance. that device will be lucky to last a year, likely half that. they are disposable devices. the provari on the other hand will not break down. and IF (thats a big if), it happens to break down, you send it in for repairs instead of grabbing your ankles and praying for the best with another disposable mod. buy enough disposable mods and eventually youll think to get one that will last. its kinda like riding the bus. if you ride the bus every day and pay the fare each day, one of those days youll think enough into the future to buy a dang bus pass and save some money. sure its a bit more cash up-front, but it saves you time, money and a headache in the future. the provari is your bus pass, sir.

Personally the idea of "oh well just buy another one" really isnt in my game plan when I would prefer to just be vaping.
you get what you pay for ..................... you want shiny and well made? get a semovar or futura but they make the provari look cheap by comparison.

So what your saying is a Ford Fiesta price $13,320 - $17,120 is the same as a Porsche 911 Carrera price $ 84,300.00 - $ 88,380.00?
I mean the 911 came out in 1963 so it is out dated right? They both do the same thing, And you can get the same or more options in the Fiesta. So according to you only a fool would buy a 911 over the Fiesta?
Well good luck with that, and I think a Vamo v5 would look great in a Fiesta...

 

[Baditude]

Google search can be your friend. Vamo has a known history of top connector thread issues and faulty buttons. Unless you know how to somehow avoid these issues, expect them to occur at some point. You will have no place to have this done, as the Chinese manufacturers do not do repairs, so you Vamo becomes a throw-away.

I could have easily added more to the above list. A Provari is manufactured to be durable and to last. Provape gives a 1 year warranty where it will repair a Provari free of charge. Even after warranty, Provape will repair a Provari for as long as you own it, and have it back to you within a week (for very reasonable service fee). Your Provari will last as long as you want it to.

Provape Post-Warranty Service Fees:

Replace Window and screws- $10.00
Replace Circuit Board - $65.00
Upgrade to V2 - $20.00
Replace plastic pushbutton - $5.00
Repairs to the circuit board - $25.00
Cleaning - $20.00
Replace top cap - $15.00
Broken Cartomizer Service - $10.00
Return shipping within the USA - $5.00

Some people grow tired of having to buy a new mod every few months to replace one that breaks or malfunctions. Purchasing a Provari is a solution to this problem.

The Provari does look pretty cool, doesn't it.

Who are these people that justify the cost of one? Seems to me from what I've seen on ECF that Provi owners do not justify their purchase of the device. They (we) buy them, and are happy.

If you want a device with MORE variables and options, as you said, and you don't see why you would HAVE to pay more for a Provari, then get the device of your choice. You do NOT have to own a Provi. We will vape happily on ours one way or the other.

As far as it being dated, (and this is getting repetitious), the Provari will be considered dated once everyone who does not (yet) own one stops talking about them and comparing them to every other device out there.

So since you seem relatively uninterested in owning one, if I might ask, why are YOU talking about it? Are you talking yourself out of it.... or us.

Happy Vapes.

Oh and when you DO decide to "downgrade" to a Provi lol, best wishes on finding one for $50.

I'm more or less wondering why someone would purchase one ) I'm not saying it's a downgrade,, its justt not the big kid on the block anymore... I think people are willing to drop the cash because of the name not because of the quality,, but i can't judge until i've used one. ;P.

Ford Fiesta has been manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since 1976,

It's the durability of the device and the quality of the vape that it provides that combines to make the Provari a solid device. I'd recommend you read some of the links that have already been posted in this thread and make an informed judgement call, instead of thinking something up. Start with Thrasher's link at Post #9.

If you still feel that it's more about the name than the quality, you're most welcome to walk away. Nobody here will hold it against you.

I know if i were to purchase this,, i'd have to get a silver one since I already have an eVic and a VAMO V5.. my GF would trip on the price ;p..She'd never know i switched MODS

Why does anyone buy anything they like? The reasons most Provi owners buy this particular device have been listed in thread after thread after thread, including right here in yours.

You know it's a popular mod and you also know your curiosity has been piqued. I don't agree with you that it's not the big kid on the block anymore. As I said, if it were not, then we would not be discussing it.

You may think that people buy them because of the name, and I partly agree with that. The name equals the quality, and that is a known fact.

Your last statement says it all hon.

So I could only get 87 Fiesta and 89 Carrera facts that are closest to each other. There were other years on a Porche but not the Fiesta.

89 Carrera - 0-60 in 5.4 seconds

87 Fiesta - 0-60 in 10.1 seconds

For top performance on the 2 vehicles, yes there is a huge difference. What you telling me in the comparison is that the vape of The Provari is 50% better, faster, stronger than a Vamo (insert other APV). Sorry got to pull my boots up higher on that one.

I am not saying it isn't a better product than say a Vamo... It just isn't Carerra better, not even close.

Yeah you can send it back for repairs. So? Every purchase I make I decide whether the repairs are worth or or just buy a new model. That goes with my Mercedes and my Black and Decker toaster.
