Something that is not mentioned much about the ProVari

[Andy Thatcher]

I am a happy camper.

Ordered two ProVari's this week and received my black one today and will receive the Mini blue screen tomorrow, both shipped within 24 hours.

Ok I don't really want to talk about the technology, everybody does, but while holding a ProVari for the first time earlier today something struck me that I don't see mentioned.

This mod is built like a tank ! Solid does not even come close to describing this thing. I won't but I suspect that I could hammer nails into a wall with it and bend the nails.

I am still new to vaping and so haven't actually seen many mods other than those I have owned. Yes the Altoids Box is a tin and really is pretty solid but the internals are pretty fragile. The Vapage XL while being a great day to day bottom feeder is just ali and plastic. The device I received today is like a ali blank. Yes the paint work may get damaged in time but the device itself ? Doubt it.

Build quality is just that of top of the high end electronic device, if not better.

Yes, you could say I am impressed.

I've seen people talk about the build quality but hammering nails with the ProVari puts in a new light! Definitely excited to get my mini (first VV). When I first heard about em and saw the price I was like no thank you, now a week or two later, I'll have one in hand in Saturday or Monday! The amazing build quality I've heard about is definitely part of how I could justify the price, "you get what you pay for" certainly applies in some situations.

The provari is as solid as a rock. I love it, I've had mine for a couple weeks. For a sturdy bottom feeder check out the Reo Grand, it's awesome.

Quick story: I open my shop every morning. There are slide locks on the garage doors, and they're old and sticky, so you have to bang them with something on the slide to get them to open. I usually use the padlock I just removed from the hole in the door track, but one morning I was extremely tired and unintentionally banged on it with the Provari that was in my hand. Worked fine and not a scratch on the PV.

i say the provari is worth the money because it doubles as a baton that you could beat a wood-be attacker to death with. at least thats how i justified it. i would like a build in tazer mode

Now there is a market...PV Knuckle Dusters.

Just to report while the Mini would not be as effective as a hammer it is only the size that holds it back.

Put on the 18650 extension on the ProVari for the first time today. If that flood comes and I need to build an ark I am good !

Built like a tank yes and also weighs as much.
Could be used to pound nails maybe, But never going to happen.
Would like a lightweight aluminum alloy model, YES

This thread is funny, because the other day I was looking for my hammer to put a nail into the drywall to hang a picture! I could not find my hammer, so I used my Chrome Provari to knock a couple nails into the wall! Worked great and my picture is now hung! Now the truth is, drywall is soft, but none the less, the fact that I even thought about using the Provari speaks to the quality and heft of the device! Of course, I do not recommend using your Provari as a hammer, but I think you understand the point to my comments! The Provari is just well build and solid!
