    Oh I understand what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that current market trends are finding even less efficient ways of doing things almost daily.
    Right now the e-cig market is driven by us using the most resources possible. The more we use .. the more money they make.

    Either way my point still stands: there's no "right" way to vape. You don't have to agree with or understand why someone would vape differently from you but your particular preferred method is no better or worse.

    Right, yes, for the time being. I did not even notice that anyone seriously negated this.

    But I am not quite sure if the statement ("there is no "right" way to vape") will be tenable on a medium- or long-term basis. Time will show.

    Not a matter of being "happy" at 2 amps, the point was being able to do the same thing at 2 amps.



    How would you like getting your favorite vape from a product that size that lasted all day without a recharge?

    Show me.

    Hypothetical BS doesn't equate to reality outside of Congress and the 3 letter agencies.

    Your provari can't vape my way. Period. I know because neither of mine can.

    "same thing" pfffft... :glare:

    I won't quote anyone here. But the VAMO is the reason I finally bought a provari! I had enough of replacing mods. Now, I'm a sucker for some high wattage fun, so I am still buying things. Because everything else breaks. Atlas 50 watt, broken. Sigelei 100 watt broken. Before provari, several lavatube clones, and that fatal VAMO purchase! All broken...
    But, I'll always have those 2 reliable provari to back me up when all my others fail!
    It is a rule: non-Provari mods failure is much higher for Provari owners...
    I do not have Provari, so all four of my mods are functioning properly for 1.5 years.

    Still people assuming that if one doesn't use a Provari to puff away at 8-13W then he/she is a reckless, clueless cloud chaser constantly vaping away at 150W. :facepalm:

    It's great that some of you have found your sweet spot with that type of setup and there's not a thing wrong with it. Some of us vape like that as well as at higher wattages on occasion and do so not to chase clouds but for better flavor. Nothing wrong with that either nor with the people who do want to vape at 150W. I guess I don't understand why some people seem to be offended by differing tastes and points of view. For me the Provari doesn't cut it. Yes, I vape in the wattage range a Provari will support but the problem is I can't go beyond that when I feel like doing so. If Provari puts out a higher wattage version (I think 40 or 50 would give people a lot more flexibility) I'd definitely consider one. Them being "indestructible" or made in the USA is not even close to a selling point for me. Again, that's okay. You don't have to be offended by me thinking the Provari isn't all it's cracked up to be. You don't have to run to the defense of Provape and the Provari every time someone dares to post that it's not the best vaping device ever created.



    How many units were produced of the Ti Stealth and how many days is "a few"? There are plenty of attys and mods that sell out in a matter of hours (sometimes minutes) so "a few days" is not all that impressive. Also, the Kabuki is irrelevant considering Provape has nothing to do with them other than making them available for sale on their site.

    I tootle puff along at 8-10w... on 30w-40w mods. :D Because they cost about 1/8th-1/10th what a P'vari costs. Yeah, they'll probably break at some point -- then I'll buy some more for $30-$40 -- because I like buying new things! Having something so expensive that I CAN'T ever buy new things... that would seriously depress me. And besides that... I've never liked the way the P'vari's LOOK, those lil teardrop-dimples all over it. Just don't like it.

    Cheapest mods (my hobby - vaping for cheap).
    2 vamos, bought for $30 each (now about $25, but they are not used anymore), iStick 30 clone ($25), Sigelei 30 ($35, a bit too expensive for me...)
    Keep going...

    You coulda had a Provi by now.

    I do not need it. I do not like tube modes anymore and one button interface is no-no for me. And I like to keep tanks married to mods.
    And the thought that I may want to spend so much money on just one mode when I can have 5-6 of them is disgusting for me (remember, I am a hobbyist)

    And that's how you prefer to spend your money. Good for you. :thumbs:

    I prefer tube-shaped mods as my preference. They are more natural and comfortable in my hand to use, and fit easier in my front pants pocket.

    I once was a collector of mods myself. I must have a dozen collected over more than three years of vaping. I'm past that stage in my life. I have found two which I keep going back to time and time again over the last year, the rest are collecting dust in my dresser drawer.

    I have a Silver Bullet mechanical which I use mostly at home. I can vape sub-ohms on a dripper to change flavors on a whim.

    I have my Provari for home and when out and about. I may at times be a klutz and drop my setup on asphault or a tile floor, and I don't like to feel I have to "baby" my setup. The Provari/Kayfun setup has been extremely durable and reliable, and can take any punishment that I dole out. This is what I value most.

    That's what works for me. Good for me. :thumbs:

    I think you may really want one.

    Just my thoughts, Jim

    I once was a collector of mods myself. ...
    I hope I am not a collector. Just still looking what I like better. When I liked tubes I bought two, when I found out I like boxes, I bought two (always have a spare - an advise which is always on the top of ECF posts)

    Sorry, wrong thoughts.
