Description:
After an enormous amount of time & discussion, Kat & I have decided to offer these two GMZ Provaris here on ECF, before doing anything else with them. We want to put them here first because the reality is that ECF is our vaping home, and we wanted to make sure that its members have first dibs.

We also want to be up front about a few things, so you’re going to have to bear with us.

• First, in accordance with ECF guidelines, these are NOT being offered as first-come, first-serve. Due to a recent proliferation of flipper activity (buying cheap here, then reselling for MUCH more “elsewhere”), we are reserving the right to decide to whom we’ll sell. Since we cannot discuss sales on the device-specific threads, we are opening this ad for any and all to review.
• Second, we’re coming right out and saying that we did NOT purchase these during Provape’s closing “fire-sales”, so anyone who was around knows exactly what they were going for back then. Suffice it to say that it was more than the asking price here.
• Lastly, if we are unable to find a buyer, here on ECF, who we’re confident won’t turn around and flip them, we will then put them up for sale “elsewhere”, as per our initial plan. The prices at that point will be considerably higher (as one would expect).

We’re also going to be blunt in that if there’s a potential buyer with whom who we’re unfamiliar, we WILL be “researching” to see if there’s any indication that they are flippers. Simply put, that’s not the buyer we’re looking for.

So now, after ALL that, here’s the deal. >

We’ve got two PERFECT/mint-condition, barely used, Provari v2.5 Gunmetal Zenkotes. Both come with the original end caps (no extensions), and each comes in a Provape box (protected & perfected).

1. One is a Mini (teardrops) with a P3 style flat-top, and red LED.
2. The other is a Standard (crop circles) with original beveled/slant top, and blue LED.

The price for each one is $135, which includes USPS Priority Shipping (CONUS only), and insurance for the full amount.

Our hope is that they both find homes with vapers who will appreciate their extraordinary workmanship, style, quality, and almost ridiculous durability (both mod & finish). These are very special mods to us, and we seriously considered keeping them for ourselves (which still isn’t totally out of the question).

PM me or [B]@Katdarling[/B] with any questions.

Gorgeous, never out of style, workhorses... Simple to use, safety rich and built like an artistic tank!

GLWS (no luck needed!).

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you, T Tex......... <kissy noise>

 

[GeekyGeezer]

Wish there was a like button here. Not for just the mods, the indestructible finish, or the honesty of the seller. But rather because these are too special to turn into a profit center for someone who could not care less about what they are, and that more of them will never be made. I'm glad to see a stand taken.

 

[Katdarling]

Thank you, GGeezer.

And "LIKE"!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bump for DP

Hi FranSea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[57chilicat]

Absolutely stunning GMZ

 

[440BB]

We'll likely never see a finish as good as GMZ again. Good luck with your sale and congrats to the lucky buyers!

 

[Katdarling]

Thanks, chili, and 440! We're hopeful the new adoptive parent/parents is/are already smiling hugely!

Risking redundancy, the GMZ finish is RIDICULOUSLY indestructible!

 

[Silka]

OMG Kat - I am dying here - just lovely, I dont have a Gunmetal Mini and your post has sent me into a world of Provari lust!
Hope they find a perfect forever home

 

[Katdarling]

Oh Silka, thank you! Now, would that forever home maybe might be one........

Good luck with the sale, and congrats to the lucky person that get's these.
I have a GMZ Classic, and P3, they are a beautiful finish.

Thanks all, for the comments and the bumps, and it makes me/us VERY happy to see familiar faces .

Before I call it a night, nostalgic me wants to share a short tale of two black Provaris (both of which are favorites.

On the left, one of my very first. Black with blue LED, and that baby took me through a LOT of tough stuff. Its scars are evident, and every one means something to me. Leave here? NEVER.

On the right, another that is in my hands OFTEN. It's been dropped, kicked, flipped - you name it. Just like the first, it's one of my daily workhorses. Which went through more? I'm not sure, but if I had to guess, it would be the one on the right. That old V1 was something I treasured, and treated it with at least some level of care & concern.

The ZenKote on the right though, isn't any less loved, but I quickly realized it was something "different". I don't know WHAT it would take to ding it, but I know that I don't have "it", and that says a LOT. I'd likely break an anvil if I had it for too long.

Anyways - regarding the two in this ad, I can't tell you how many times we've changed our minds "Sell? Keep. Sell? Keep. Sell? ... "(you get the picture).

I swore I'd never put a GMZ up, but there comes a point when one realizes they can eat no more from the buffet table. That being said, I won't cry if it turns out that they're staying put, and I doubt Kat will either. It's been two months of on-the-fence, and at least we've ended THAT viscous cycle now. We ARE vapers!!!

"Blab, blab, blab, blab, blab."
"Shut UP, Dave!!!!!"



A picture, it's worth words. Timex has met its match (for those who remember...).

Good night, ECF friends (& lurkers too!). Thanks for all the kind words and support.

 

[57chilicat]

Two months on the fence. OUCH!

I wish - I cant stop looking at them, its the standard crop circles one drawing me in........... I have a GMZ Classic with the tear drop design.
Its funny lately I have only been vaping my Mini's at home, have popped all the Pv3's & Procyon's in the drawer for a little rest - Guess we are lucky to have choices on what to vape
Also cancelled my Dicode order - seemed silly when Provape fills everything I need in a Vape

I'm an outted Provi fangoi, to be sure, but for me, there is just nothing like the originals (Mini and Standard 2.5s). I do love them all, but the GMZ has that je ne sais quoi something special. That finish is unbeatable, figuratively and literally. I strongly doubt we'll ever see anything like it again.
