I was surprised ProVape closed their doors too. But then after awhile it made sense. They made a lot of money in the time they were in business (despite someone's account saying they didn't). They hit it big and got rich. They were practical people over there so they took their gains and left the risk behind. And there were lots of risks with regulations being only one of them. The market really changed and there were lots of less expensive options leaving the ProVape products with only a small niche market. Sadly, and as I have said many times, the masses purchase on price these days. Durability has taken a back seat. This is what happens when our markets get flooded with cheap overseas products. Can't underestimate technological advances either. We've been conditioned to avoid higher tech purchases that cost a lot of money because it will be obsolete in short order. Too many reasons why ProVape was smart to get out when they did. I would likely have done the same.
I don't begrudge them their decision. I in my naïveté just assumed they would be there forever for me.
I get the why, I don't have to like it, but I do accept it.
Bronze, you are absolutely correct in your assessment. I've stayed in touch with vape360 and he echoes these thoughts to a tee.
And Robin, we're all with you. I too wanted them to stay there, just for me (and you and few others of course!).
