My first ProVari has safely made it to Prague and back 6 times. It has survived being dropped on cobblestones, forgotten in a taxi- the driver is a vaper and brought it back to the hotel when he found it, the rain, TSA, a security swab and inspection at AMS, a fight at a club- took the tank off first, random ladies trying it out, rolls off of bar tops, having a drink spilled on it... I know I can take it, and only it 6992 km away, without a backup and it won't let me down. It always fires, except when I have had 30 beers and I put a battery in backwards. It is antiqued, the paint has worn thin, there is a chip in the top cap and bottom cap, but it still works and works every time...
