My point. Why ruin a $200 ProVari when a $30 Vamo, e-pipe or even a $50 MVP, SVD means little to me and is very expendable. I spend less time at work than home and out running when I get home the ProVari is the first I go for after taking care of my dogs. Not to mention when I say VW means nothing, I do know what I'm talking about because I have them and use them 5 days a week. Just because a ProVari can take a fall from a 80' lift doesn't mean you should try it. I've seen fork truck drivers drive a fork 3 feet into a 12 inch I beam and make a hole in the 8 inch one behind it. There are no consequences for tearing things up with a fork truck. I'm not even amazed any more these people keep me in work.
I understand your thinking and its perfectly reasonable. But,
First, who says you'll ruin it? How many other devices have you ruined so far at work? If it is zero, you have probably been very careful with them. If it is more than zero, you may have been careful with them, but because of their lack of durability, they broke. You'll destroy multiple VAMOs, SVDs, ect. before you'll ever bust a ProVari. And even if you don't break those other devices, they'll die on their own, and then they are paperweights. With either of your ProVaris, unless you destroy the whole tube (which is virtually impossible, even if you try), you can send it in for service and have it repaired.....in almost all circumstances for less than you paid for your SVD.
But hey, it's up to you. I work in a shop with massive fork trucks riding around (with idiots driving them
) and massive machinery running. I bring my Mini with me every day. Granted, I avoid leaving it stupid places if I can, but breaking it really isn't something I worry about. I didn't spend a premium price for durability so I could just vape it while sitting on my couch.
