I think the P3 turned out fantastic! I have only used my P3 since I bought it.
Provape really did a wonderful job with the P3! It is hard to use my other Provaris now.

I think it is perfectly fine to buy a used Provari 2.5.
Never had a problem with any of my Provaris.
I have a P3, 2 mini 2.5, a full size Dragon 2.5 and a Provape1

I have not bought a used Provari but I would think it is a sound buy.
The best part is Provape will fix it for a small fee if something is wrong.
I would still buy another 2.5. I love the reliability and quality!
They Just Work!

Good luck

They seem to be for sale every where. Check out E B@y. I was offered the Beta at my local B&M Monday at a pretty fair price but decided to wait and see if they changed anything after all of the feed back....................

Just curious, what is a fair price?

I bought a blem Satin Silver full size from ProVari (and, no, I have never found the blem) and the mini from the classies here. Both are great, both work consistently and both are used all day. I have two batteries of each size; that way I know I always have a charged battery since both units have the extended caps....

I love the Satin Silver finish! As said, it doesn't show any marks and they have been used well!

Enjoy your new ProVari

I have seen them from $250.00 to $350.00

What's fair?

$500.00 on Ebay from Germany!

They will probably go for about $225.00 or so....

Electrostix sold the betas for $250.00

Personally I would wait to see what the differences the final released version has if any?

As far as buying a used one I have purchased two (P 2.5'), one is on it's way, the other I have and it is like new!

You can also buy a Tatroe extension ring, use the Provape extension cap, and TADA use 18650', just like a full size Provari, or use two extension rings and the stock bottom cap, same result.

I get the feeling a lot of the dealers which were supposed to use their free beta models are just selling them for as much as they can get. Kind of defeats the purpose of beta testing. If I were ProVape, I would have put a code in the programming rendering them useless after a set date when the final models are released...

Congratulations!

Now, start planning for your next ProVari purchase...... it will come.....


i'm already thinking of the mini with ext cap. I have to add this about Provari. Yesterday I was out playing golf and I took along my MVP 2 with my IB Tanked. I had it set at 4.2 volts, when I arrived home I put it on my Provari set at 4.2 volts. I didn't think it was possible but the taste was better on the Provari. It was like wow is this the same juice.

I don't believe that they were free, I think the dealers had to pay for those BETA models. Why shouldn't they be able to sell them, they paid for the privilege of being guinea pig's for a brand new product, whether any feedback good or bad is passed back to Provape, is really voluntary at that point. What happens to the (unknown to the general population) number of units after that, is irrelevant. Provape in my opinion, only cares about whatever marketing data they receive back from the prospective dealers.

I thought it was posted that each dealer would receive 2 for beta testing, meaning they don't pay for them. Rather than just put them on eBay, they were to test them and let customers use them. ProVape doesn't receive any feedback, if the beta versions go directly to eBay. They are a dealer and required to meet certain obligations to their supplier...
