Why would you feel the need to throw away 3 grand on a battery tube?

vaping isn't about spending insane amounts of money on something just to have a status. It's about quiting smoking and becomming healthier.

Stop focusing on how much a piece of metal costs, and focus on what would give you the best experience.

Sorry if I come off as rude. I just think that there is a MILLION things that you'd be better off throwing 3 grand on, and a battery tube should be the last thing on your list.

I dont know who this is directed too, i am not looking to spend even $300 on a mod let alone 3000! Lol. I am just curious as to what other mods are out there and how expensive they are. One for entertainment and for two my provari is not that expensive, and neither is a reo.
So what is expensive?

Seems there are a few on the expensive side.

The most expensive i had found on my own was $300, the gepetti mods. Some of those look really nice.

It was pretty much directed at whoever read it lol. I was using "you" as a group, not anyone specifically.

Vaping stuff is becomming way more expensive than it should be. Look at the Gamma. It's like 180$ for the MINI and doesn't even come with a drip tip. 180$ for a minit atty is INSANE lmao.

I can't imagine how many people spend thousands of dollars to vaporize nicotine. It just seems completely asinine to me lol. I'm happy with my MVP 2 and Protank Mini 2s.

To be honest, anyone who can throw away 3 grand on something that encases a battery, I will gladly take that 3 grand and pay off some bills and buy some juice :p

More & more are popping up around the $250-$400 range these days.. newer-generation DNA 20/30 stuff like Zen, Hana, etc... plus the fancier high-quality mech stuff

Then you can jump up to the $2K-$3K range, like Otto, Caravela... there's an ongoing Caravela thread here somewhere.. really nice looking pieces, anyway.. and practically impossible to get


I find it odd that people still choose to attack a $160-$200 ProVari without ever vaping one, instead.. these are no longer the most expensive, folks! And you should have seen what $100-$200 would have gotten you 5+ years ago... :facepalm:

I completely agree with this.

I also find it ridiculous the money people will spend on mechs.

There are a lot of people who would not bat an eye at spending $3000 on something worth a lot less than a pv.

I grew up in a very wealthy neighborhood (an interesting social experience, I assure you) and parents would frequently go out of town for a few days to a few weeks and leave their kids a couple grand of spending money, not including things like groceries or going out to eat. I knew kids who got Lamborghini's when they were 15 for getting their learners permit.

Unfortunately, for some people vaping is about the status symbol. They usually have little to no care about the actual performance of their devices, and couldn't keep up a conversation about what they like or how it works.

I see this sort of thing all the time. I am a watch enthusiast and love when I spot a rare, high-end piece. Half the time I mention it, the other person is a watch enthusiast also. The other times, I get, "It was a gift" or "Is it a good one? They told me it was a good one." A guy spent over $50,000 on his watch and couldn't tell me a thing about it, other than the price.

Precisely. And hey, if they're willing to spend 50 large on a watch that they have no idea about, that's their prerogative. But watches are just for telling time right?! Not when you drop that kind of money, then, it's a status symbol.

spending money keeps the economy going,,,,,,,if you have the $$ and you're not spending your life savings or the rent money, what's wrong with it? And I know it could feed a small nation of children,,,,,,,but people with that much money are probably donating to charity already.

Personally, I'd love to be given just the chance to prove that money can really make me happy :D

(that last part said tongue in cheek, of course)

When i first joined i couldnt imagine spending $200 on a device, then i bought one.
But ive seen more expensive ones only recently so it got me curious, what else is out there. I have been limited to ecf threads as to what exists.
There was this guy who knew a guy who had a $700 vape. My respnse was oh he was the idiot who bought that provari off ebay... Lol

I laughed at that until I mentally tallied up what I had in my hand: Provari mini 2.5 in a Serenity sleeve with a Russian 91% on top, a $30 stone drip tip, and some high end juice, add it up and I'm coming up on a $350ish? setup. That's just what's in my hand, never mind what's in the vape box, the caddy that's on my desk or my juice cabinet.
