I have a silver Provari 2.0 with both the mini cap (18490) and the extended cap (18650). It has the blue display and is in great shape. 8.5-9 out of 10. Can anyone tell me what its worth?
Im getting ready to thin out my collection before too long and want to ask a fair price when I post it for sale.

Someday maybe they will be worth something but at this time they are worth basicly nothing. With Provape dumping new ones on the market for 20 bucks the used market is dead. I sold all my Provape stuff off over the last year and a half when I seen the bottom falling out. Boy howdy did I lose alot of money "investing" in Provari stuff.

Local shop was trying to move P3's out on Black Friday for cheap. I asked if they sold any. Nope.

They kinda remind me of at a different local shop they had Kabuki tanks on clearance but you HAD to take a Zen mod with it or no deal. I quickly learned why that tank was on clearance and got rid of it but even at the price of free it took a year to get rid of that Zen mod.

My 5 year old sliver Provari tube mod with the red LED display will stay in my collection. It's a great mod to have in your pocket while on a riding mower. There's no square corners to hang it up when you reach for it.

Now may be a good time to pick up several new Provari mods while Provape is selling them out at fire sale prices. The price is right and they might increase in value (or not) over time after the current stock is gone. If not, then it's good insurance against a possible restriction of hardware.

You can't have too much money or too many ecig mods ....

Provape needs to produce at least a simple 100w mod without all the bells and whistles and reasonably priced..I'd buy one in a heart beat, lol

I might but prolly not.

I had a Radius and didn't care for it. Its a brick of a single battery mod.

At this point I can't see every buying another Provape product.

Its like I payed 2500 bones for my first Win95 computer cause thats how it was. Now I'm on a Win10 box I grabbed at Walmart for 300 bones and it 7000 times the computer. Electronic prices come down. Companies go under that can't adapte. Its not personal, just business.

Never buy version 1 of anything! My first computer back in the early 80s was a CPM based tower with a black and white monitor for $3000 something. The daisy wheel printer was about $2000. I made money writing software on that one and the next two I bought, so it was a wash with a little profit as time went on, plus I learned C, Pascal, Dbase, Foxpro, and several other high level languages as time went on.

About 5 1/2 years ago I paid $150 on sale for my Provari V2 and about $30 for the 2nd year warranty. The 2nd year warranty paid off when the fire switch got flaky in year two. I sent it in and got a new fire switch free and they buffed it up, installed a new battery spring, and paid return shipping. It's still almost like new

To this day the iPV III mods are one of the best mods ever to come to market , they are bullet proof and have great chipsets . Imo they are superior to the newer iPV mods.

I told you, guys. Do not overspend on Provari.
Alien I bought my $200 Provari V2 when they got released several yrs ago now..No plans to buy any Provape product anytime soon..not enough power and way overpriced for the new mods that came out..
No worries [emoji41]

What a difference a year can make.

This would have been an all out battle until the thread was closed not that long ago.

But now, that super duper, will hold its value forever....

Is nearly worthless.

No worries.

I replaced mine with more expensive mods... a few times over.

Is the pad printed logo still nice and dark, a lot of them wore off. A collector might be interested if it's in pristine condition, but yeah, when you can get a brand new one for twenty bucks, it's an impossible sell, unless you find that right person that just wants one as a collector piece. I haven't seen too many blue LED V2's for sale, and in mint condition. I wouldn't ask for more than 40 on such a thing at the present time, even then, you might see it take a while to sell.

My V2 has been a rock solid unit with only one problem over the years. The circuit board shifted but Provape took care of that so it functions 100%.
This thing is built as tough as a Sherman Tank. The only reason I stopped using it is because I went to sub ohm which the V2 wont do.
If the prices are that low I would agree with the responses here. Its worth more than $30 to me to just sit in my collection.
