What is with ProVari People...Cult'ish much?

[Thrasher]

While I cant speak for everyone,I personally have bought a enough of the other stuff to buy 3 provari's at this point, and i wish i DID listen to all these people on here, since I bought one I have no desire to use or try anything else. this seems to be one of the only hobbies where people dont mind spending 100's of dollars on stuff you cant repair or has very limited warranties.while some people don't care to me that matters, and it matters alot.

this is the one side of the angle i always see ignored when comparing things here. are there things that have more functions then a PV? i'm sure there are and they may interest a lot of people, but i personally cant see buying things for 100 here 120 there and knowing once it's broken its done. i would never buy a tv like this nor a phone, amp, guitar or anything.
But as with all things in life, everyone is different and your free to ignore the threads and go buy whatever you want.

In the end what ever makes you stop smoking is good enough.

Remember, they state on the site, the circuits are not american made

provape states the components come from across the world, but they use american when/if they can and then they are assembled here, on an american made MIL-SPEC circuitboard no the circuits arent coming from outside america. if you dont understand what this means google what it takes to get a mil -spec rating on something a resistor is not just a resistor in this case.

I will add so many people have gone on the warpath because even without the cultish behavior when someone asks for a relaible or very good apv and we say provari there is also a large crowd who instantly bash us as well, when we are just answering a question like the rest of the crowd. and then we have to stand up and also answer to a post like this about every two weeks now.

I can understand the enthusiasm for Provari. I don't understand people that purchase more than one. The point is to not need a back up device.

then you havent been in a situation where your devices have failed on you, you cannot run to bestbuy and get a new apv while you wait for a new one in the mail. the very first rule of vaping from ego's to zenesis is back up the back ups that back up your backups.

doesnt matter what you but or own, you should alway have more then one. if my pv dies i got a vamo if that pops i got a bolt somewhere, if that dies ill pull out a spinner, then a twist then a egoc then a kr808. then my old passthroughs.
.dont ever leave yourself without.

really! Another "I'm tired of people talking about the provari" thread.

 

[mikejm]

Isn't talking about being tired of talking about Provari really talking about Provari? I'm tired of talking about not talkibg about Provari and still talking about Provari by talking about not talking about it.

The "it" in this case being Provari.

I believe that you are wrong concerning the point. If any pearl of wisdom is true in vaping, one always has a backup device, no matter how reliable the primary may appear.

I have a Provari and would like a Mini for just out-and-about useage. The full size Provari does not easily fit into every kind of pocket to carry everywhere and because it is somewhat heavy, I would appreciate a smaller and slightly lighter device for those times. But, this is realistically just a "want", and not a "need" for me. I have the funds for one now, but I can't justify getting one now because of other financial considerations. I settled for a $50 VV Gripper that will meet my needs until I decide its time to splurge for a second Provari.

O.....M.....G! dude stop talking about "IT" or we will get another why cant they stop talking about "IT" thread.
Hi i'm L Ron Vapperd here to talk to you about joining Provariology

 

[Ghostrider]

I think we can all get along now if everybody in this thread will just shut up....................and buy a provari!

See what I did there?

Rule 1 of Vaping: Always have a backup. Never be caught out.
Rule 2 of Vaping: Always have a backup for your backup. NEVER be caught out.

If you don't have a backup whatever can go wrong will go wrong.
Nothing is 100% infallible. Devices can be broken, misplaced, lost or they can even be stolen. What would you turn to then?

 

[mikejm]

You wouldn't back up a Provari with a second Provari, typically.

 

[Thrasher]

smith and wesson----- cause im gonna shoot whoever stole my proV

 

[Baditude]

And why would that be, o flying pig of wisdom?

I dont see why not= im getting ready to get another one in about 3 weeks. just so i dont have to change attys anymore.

 

[mikejm]

OK, then buy a second. And get a back up for your back up, because you are an accumulator of identical objects. And post pictures.

Not that there is anything unusual or weird about that.

I know as a musician who used to play out I had a Marshall amp. if it blows up on stage im sure not gonna pull out a cheap crate to replace it, im going to go in the back and pull the same exact Marshall head out of a box.
20 dollars 100 dollars or 1000 dollars when you like something why is it so strange to want two of them?

say what you want, and def buy what you like - this is the best part of freedom of choice, but i know as a tech kind of person the PV is the one device is see that doesnt have a couple dozen threads about what went wrong with it.

I can understand that, sorta. **"disclaimer" I own 4 full size Provaris.**

I came to them after vaping a year plus on Ego's, and was greatly taken by the obvious quality of the mod. I have not seen anything to make me change my view. At the time I was using mainly carto tanks and I vape a bunch of different juices a day and it was just easier to have more devices than fooling around swapping tanks.

I also have 4 Empires. Same deal, but I started dripping and I think these give me the best experience of all small to mid sized battery mechanical mods that I've tried over time. They are dedicated to specific juices.

I have a group of 26650 battery mechanical mods as well. Each has its place in my vaping experience.

With the exception of one Italian device, and 4 Ego Twists, all the rest of my devices are fabricated in the USA.

I don't consider myself a collector but I do have specific juices that I use in each type that in my opinion, give me what I want. I guess you could call me a hobbyist that has saved so much by not smoking cigarettes that I could easily afford all the devices I own and or have given to new vapers.

Considering the tenor of the opening post... I used to frequent the new vaper forum to welcome new vapers and answer questions to the best of my ability. I don't do that much any longer because of the stuff I see so many members pushing or attempting to push on new vapers, and I am not talking about only the Provari fans. New vapers are confused enough without having everyone's personal preferences shoved in their faces by 30 different people all using different devices. When I get aggravated I just take a hiatus from that forum.

I will say this, I wish I had gone up in size faster, I have had considerably less bad experience with the bigger devices. At the time I was exploring the vaping world I didn't know this place existed. I had been vaping over a year before I signed into ECF on Egos and probably would have gone up in size faster than I did after reading here.

My Grandpa used to tell me as a child, "you get what you pay for". I find that still to be true.

Backups for my backups for my backups. True for devices, atties and cartos, and DIY supplies.

Provari's do have fanboys but I think they are far less cultish than some...the Zenfidels for example. The GG fanboys can get rather rabid at times as well. I think the Provari comes up in conversation so often because it is a really well built piece of gear. It is becoming a bit dated however, even the V2 version. The new chips like the Nivel and the Evolv DNA20-D are going to be driving forces behind new mods...and they will have their fanboys as well.

 

[mikejm]

I'm considering getting an ecab kit for a back up. Those ancient eGo's are making me nervous. I'd hate to be stuck with those for too long. They also sell NJOY disposables all over town. I'd also like to have a mini with external batts to complete my completeness.

Problem is that I use my back-up device every day ..... all five of them! (and my Provari is only one of my back-ups)
Sure do want that pretty gold one tho, so maybe I'll end up with two Provari back-ups
