Dear god I really hope provape does not take these suggestions. The ONE thing that makes them great is the durability which is achieved thru the simplistic design. Lose that and ProVari will be no better than any of the dozens of multi function, multi button, multi problem junk mods you can get right now. People should really be careful what they ask for and be happy with what they have. If you feel the need to sub-ohm, get a mech and do it right. If you want all kinds of bells, buttons, and trinkets with all the problems that go along with them, go buy it... Your troubles await, but I beg of you, don't ruin something great to do it.

To be fair, most premium lines of products do what everyone else does...........they just do it waaaaaaaaaaaay better. I don't mean to imply a direct correlation between a handmade Bentley and a Ford as opposed to a Provari and a cheap regulated mod but just because both have navigation systems and leather seats doesn't make them equals. The question would lie in whether ProVape would want to make a model with more functions for the same or less cost or do it right like they have done with previous versions and do things well.

I know that I would personally pay more for a better made but equally durable product of the same quality level............and to add, I didn't buy a Provari for the price; I bought it for the quality as I would assume everyone else did too.

How exactly is this "Right" doing it with a mech? What appeals to me about the dna30 devices is their ability to go sub ohm, yet still maintain a semblance of safety provided by the electronics.

Lastly, don't even get me started on mech prices. Sure there are some really beautiful mech mods out there, and in limited quantity. At least with the cost of the provari I am getting some features, functions, and engineering. Mech manufacturers have to be laughing their way to the bank if they can charge upwards of $200 for some shiny brass and a simple, mechanical switch.

That's one thing that makes me happy when it comes to clones. 20 buck Hcigar nemesis that works better than the real thing. As far as being the "right" way... Well that would just be my opinion, but if you do not understand electronics and ohms law well enough to safely use a mech then it's a good sign you have no business doing it to begin with.... Once again my opinion. Maybe a better way to have put it was "go all out". :)

Well, perhaps they do keep as eye on us. I predicted they would come out with a green color long before they did. It wasn't a Zombie, of course, but I got the shade right. I have been known to be a bit psychic, but I didn't predict a presentation box so...

I think they should leave the ProVari alone and make a new product altogether if that's what they want. A bottom-feeder would be supercool!!! That system has been growing in popularity recently and there aren't many choices on the market. I've commented on that before and when asked what he thought might be the next trend Vapor Joe also said bottom-feeders. Although he was talking about out of China, his favorite manufacturer, since the design and technology is a no brainer.

Adding VW, different buttons, a different menu, etc., would require a completely new design to the existing ProVari which I think would just confuse their target consumer, who doesn't know a watt from a wallaby. I believe the majority of their sales are to people like my friends: people who are looking for a well-made U.S. product with a warranty, that is easy to use and works every time they pick it up or if it doesn't (which is rare) can be sent in for repairs at a reasonable price if out of warranty. A flat top would be easy to add, especially if it was a screw on, making it optional; but it needs to be included with the device, not sold separately.

My newest convert said he wanted a device just like mine and was willing to save up for one. When I suggested a couple of adequate lower priced mods from FastTech, he said he didn't want to buy from China. I pointed out that he was currently using an eGo made in China and he said because it was his only choice (not true, of course, but the other options he found too complicated). When I showed him my ProVari, I also showed him a Vamo and he said it felt cheap.

When ProVape comes out with a Version 3 ProVari, I hope they will have the presence of mind to continue making the Version 2.5's. (or at least keep the tube design as an option). I prefer the old V1 standard to the new V2.5 standard tubes, and wish they would re-release them with the V2.5 "ProVari" engraving.

A completely different device would be cool. I can't see many changes they could make to the v2.5 that I would consider buying. A bottom feeder would be awesome. I've looked at Reo's, but I don't care for Mechs & the VV electronics in them are crap. Even if they don't go with a different delivery system, I think a new product line would be better than "updating" something that isn't broken.
 
Low Sub-oHm Capability. (In my opinion) the people asking for this feature ought to be given white dinner jackets with wrap around sleeves.

Sign me up for one of those jackets, b/c i would buy a regulated 150W mod with capabilities of running down to .12 ohms that the watts wouldnt change as your battery drained :evil:

-I'd like to be able to run a .7ish coil and run a higher voltage (or wattage).

I believe you meant voltage and wattage. You just change one without the other changing.

LEGENDARY doesn't quite cut it any longer. I would want it to be EPIC.

Because ALL the coolest stuff, these days, is EPIC.

Tap, Tap, Tap.... Talk.

I didn't realize Beowulf was cool these days.

Before you jump on this, you should know that new ProVari's are now coming in presentation boxes. BlueRaider's phone is an iDevice, and posts pictures upside down, but you get the idea.

Maybe the whole kit comes in a presentation box, but when purchased only the ProVari doesn't. These must be researched, so I can update the Sacred Text appropriately.

I want a built in lighter. Since I started vaping, I miss my lighter. I used to be always the guy with the fire, and now I'm just another member of the group without the ability to make a spark. :(

I once got a little spark when I was putting the bottom cap back on, but I might be because I'm special.

interesting, because when I think of it, my bug out bag has steel wool and a couple ni-cads for lighting fire. I guess I am not without fire when I am carrying the Provari, just be hard to get it done in a short period of time. Have to take someones socks off for tinder! I can think of better ways to heat myself up lol, and it doesn't involve the box you were going to sell me!

Beats rubbing two sticks together.

I don't get the whole 100 watt thing, even the guy on youtube that the population watches couldn't do it. lol, they all want the g11 mod? there is complaints about the proVari menu system! ah, to be young again and something again.

what is that?*

It looks like there's a resistor across the red part

that gets hot to light the cigarette.

I am going to build a couple boxes tommorow, i have jointer, router, wood and glue, want one ocelot?
It's just as easy to build 5 as it is to build one. I'll show you my box if you show me yours and we can go from there? I have a really sweet idea what to do with a box and make it nice.

PM me

Show you my box? I'll have to think about it.

ETA:

what is that? *oops edit, seen it in a larger display now lol

Did I guess right?

Choice of flat or slanted end caps, both with air slots. Personally, I'm getting tired of messing with ProRings, as different ones work best with different toppers. The current endcap does look good with smaller stuff, but I don't use any of that stuff.

Metallic purple.

I also would like ProVape to continue carrying aftermarket accessories such as the Tatroe Base, and their version of the ProRing.

You know that thing is $300 right? And is probably the ugliest mod on the planet.

You can build a nicer looking mod yourself, for a fraction of that price and still have enough left over to buy a nice dinner jacket with wrap-around sleeves.

Considering I'm happy around 6.5 watts, I don't think it's for me.. :laugh:


But, I recognize there's a market for something like this..

I also have interest in seeing where some are taking the technology.. I'm actually pretty impressed


As for aesthetics, I'm sure its potential users/customers wouldn't be buying it for that.. As far as I know, this is the only thing out there like this, and they probably couldn't care less what it looks like -- but what it can do


Different strokes, different folks...
