Humor aside, the question about how many Provari (versus Plovari) are still being vaped is interesting.
I'm not sure how many were produced. I'd be very curious.
I do know that none of mine have crapped out.
I recall very well asking myself if I wanted to spend $200 on a mod, being a Radius. That was 5 years ago. Still going strong, happy in the hand (no pun intended), and feels tough as nails. I've certainly bought other stuff since then, but they mostly feel cheap and flimsy. [I have not gotten anything fancy like Dani's etc.]
I'm embarrassed to say how many I have, but one did die. Let's just say that it represents a relatively small percentage (of the total count).
It was a Ti (v2.5) with a flat top. I'd bet that most of the 2.x versions that have passed were flat tops. The beveled tops seem to be a bit better built.
@ENAUD did try to resuscitate it but it was to no avail. It was a valiant effort, and was/is greatly appreciated to this day.
We had a small service for "Pappa Ti", and it sits high above, with a few other important-but-retired mods to which that I pay a very small fee to stand guard over the living stuff.
Its brothers and sisters (the other remaining Ti's, still living) pay homage to it each Sunday. They come by and lay small cartomizers at its feet, much like we humans do with flowers. They never cry though. I guess that's one advantage of not having any tear ducts.
It's never a good idea to leave me alone with my imagination for too long.
