Did I see Purple LED? That sure got my attention.

Here's how I vote on some of the comments:

I'd like to see various top caps. Ones that can be removed and changed like we have with various bottom caps, extenders and after market gear. Of course, one should be flat top as that has been a popular trend. Modular with tube assortments (and even some aluminum) could be fun, but not so necessary or important, to me.

I'd like a floating pin or some sort of adjustable pin -- perfected, of course, as Provari is known to do so well.

Please, don't change the button. It is a wonderful button. (Plus, some vapers can't handle bottom buttons at all!). I like the one button systems a lot, but if Provape made a 3 button I bet I'd like it too.

I also preferred the non-etched Provari name and logo. Maybe there could be a happy medium with a smaller logo?

Tube design has never been a selling point for me and provape products....so whatever they do with that I'm sure I'll be fine with.

I do hope they stay with the trend of being able to upgrade to new technical changes with reasonable cost.

When it comes to the main technical parts --- As long as it's passed Provapes test for endurance, safety, etc. whatever they do is fine with me.....as long as we don't loose the ability of the lower volts settings, however they are measured, that we currently have. I don't care if it is Just Volts or Just Watts or a combo......but I do think a VW option would go over very very well.

Or -- just put a provari chip in some very different styles, non tube mod. That idea has been hashed about several times. Make me a "fistpack style" provari and I'd be in unicorn land.

Ok, new to all this. I have had my provari (bronze with green led) for under one month, so take this for what its worth. The Provari is built like a tank and thats huge to me. Love the size and feel of this device. I am down for more colors, Throw us some special editions a few times a year, perhaps a splater here or a
camo there. A few more options for LEDS would be nice and the ability to have more volts and run a lower coil and I am as happy as the proverbial pig in...well you know.
Now as for getting more fetures at 25% less coment that was made earlier. You sir are correct, go purchase whatever asian built unit you want and enjoy it, however for me I am happy with my built in the USA, built like a tank, easy to use, vv mod with a 1 year warranty. You will never have to worry about me chastising you when you try to get your flavor of the week Hong Kong special fried mod repaired. Enjoy, you earned it.
As for me and my money, we are pretty happy with the Provari.

Didn't know wanting to shut off an electronic device or prolonging battery life was 'weird' as you put it...but okay :/
I've never seen proof that turning it off prolongs battery life, but it's a good theory. It already is 90-95% efficient when using the battery. I guess I just hardly ever hear about people turning off their ProVari. It's literally a handful of people out of the hundreds who use them.

Edit: by "hundreds" I mean the hundreds of ProVari users on this forum, not the multiple thousands out in the wild.

I understand your statement about wanting to save battery life, but very few e-cigs have a true "on off" switch. The exception being a mechanical mod with a safety that prevents the fire button from being physically depressed.

The power off switch on MOST regulated mods simply disables the fire button or other adjustment buttons on the mod. It does not actually turn the device off because you still need power to the circuitry to recognize the button pattern needed to turn it back on.

As a result, the "power off" switch is usually reserved for people who are putting their mod in a pocket or purse and they don't want to accidentally fire their mod. This is a valid reason, but the ProVari button is built in such a way that makes accidental firings very unlikely. There is quite a bit of "breakaway" pressure needed before you actually press the button to make contact. Simply lying it down on the button usually won't press it. Because of the design of the menu, it's very unlikely that you will get into a position where you've entered into menu mode and are simply round changing settings without your knowledge.

If you are really serious about saving your battery, then you remove it from the mod between usage. This removes all drain from the battery.

Glad there is a 16 second cut off. I don't trust the stuff in my purse to not set it off, and I know it has. So, I've learned to turn it off much more often when out and about and most certainly when packed for travel. Firing button turned off is a good feature to have, even if it isn't used much.

I've not noticed battery drain on my Provari's when not used like I have with some other mods. So, that's another pro-provari feature that is rarely discussed and needs to stay.

Most other mods that are really hard to set off are also really hard to use from my view. Please, Provape, no recessed buttons. :)

Very valid points. I haven't spent much time with the provari mini yet since the fiance got the only one the our local vape shop had and mine is still on order. Her's lasted about a day on the small battery, but she's not a heavy vaper and the volts were at about 3.9. I'll have to see how mine does once it comes in so I know how many spare batteries I need to pack or if I need to order the extension cap for a larger battery.

I'd still like to see the power function up front in the menu if they're going to include it all all though, and an auto shutoff feature would be nice too, just so you don't have to heat up the atomizer coil accidentally for 16 seconds while its in your pocket or purse. Even if the power savings are minimal, the batteries and atomizers are limited life/use items. Of course one can take the battery out and remove the tank if you aren't going to vape for an hour or two...but now we're talking ease of use. I just think rearranging the menu, and adding an optional auto shutoff feature would be simple to implement...and at the price point of the Provari, I guess I kind of expected those features.

After using it a few weeks I may not care though...I'll have to revisit those thoughts by the end of the month after I've logged some good vape time with it :)

You know what would be nice? A rhodium plated positive battery contact terminal. I get tired of trying to clean that thing. As far as I know, Super T Manufacturing is the only one who does that with their mods.

Now THIS is an excellent point, and one I hadn't thought of. I absolutely LOVE those Super T mods, but (try as I have) the mechs simply don't do it for me. So taking your point just a tad further...

I'd like it if Provape bought Super T, then added their chips to those GORGEOUS mods. Steel is my wood.

I realize this is ridiculously speculative on my part, not to mention highly unlikely, but since we're fantasizing...

Sorry Provape fans we don't want no antiquated Provari VV chips in our 100% Mechanical SuperT Mods..Removable DNA30 Module is what we are after....

P.S. I am a Provape fan, but a big SuperT enthusiast.. P+/ELA/Kick2

Don't even THINK about taking my rotary phone away, for one of those new-fangled thingamajigs.

You have your fantasies, and I have mine.
