Did they ever actually print a user manual? I for one would love to see one.

Its still nice and dark. I couldn't find any flaws other than a scuff, which I could most likely clean off with an alcohol pad.

Cool, I snagged a blue LED V2 that looked good in the pics, but the logo in real life is barely visible, like a shadow effect of what used to be there. I wouldn't use alcohol to clean anywhere near that logo if were me.

The investment to be made back then was probably the Caravella. Or GG mods. Maybe some REO's.

Investment?
Financially, NASCAR commemorative plates are a better investment than a mod.

Now, I heard on the street: "Beanie Babies".

Hatchimals. Scramble to buy one now for $200 and sell it after Christmas for $20.

I still don't forgive my wife for not letting me sell the two Tickle Me Elmo dolls I had back in the day. Selling for over $1k, now $2 at Goodwill.

Investing in "stuff" rarely ends well IME.

I was lucky enough to purchase a new Caravelle when they first came out for like 200 bucks, about a year later the prices went sky hi and I sold for almost a grand. Now I see them for 150...the most ridiculous item I see now is the m-atty, an rda that sells for over a grand

The first two that I got (early 2012) came with manuals, E. After that, they went digi. The pdf you can still download is the exact same thing that I received in print, such a long time ago.

The mods are still in use.

At $9 per pack of Marlboro (at the time), I figured if I got a year out of the thing, I'd have done well. I've no complaints.

CORRECTION. I just checked the date on my pdf file, and it corresponds with the 2nd Provi (mid 2012). So just my FIRST one came with paper.

The Provi faithful were very, very upset by this change (paper-to-digital).

another mistake I made with provape was ordering the expensive ZenAtty Pro, made just for the Provari...terrible waste of money.
Not giving up I got a couple Russian 91% atties, but found airflow was too tight and the bottom fill screw leaked alot..

$1000 for an rda?
Does it at least come with lube or do they just come at ya all rough?


I'd pay a grand for their customer list.
Lol.

$1000 ?

In just over five years I have saved exactly $33,975.25 from switching to vaping. That's based on two former smokers, with decades of tobacco behind us, and represents exactly 51% of what we WOULD have spent on cigs if we had continued at regular pace.

Could I have spent less on vape-stuff? Heck yeah - probably could have knocked another half of that out. But since much of it was experimental, and it was/is a WHOLE lot of fun, I'm not terribly inclined to nit-pick myself to death with things I could have done.

Unmentioned is the fact that within that 51% expense exists literally decades-forward worth of everything I could possibly need (thank you, FDA). Had we been smoking, I'd be running out sometime today to restock.

All in all, I've no complaints. Not one.

Instead of the radii, if they would have relabeled an istick 30,I would have paid double. Just to support American workers. I do that now anyway at a b&m.

How exactly would a relabeled iStick 30 support American workers?

Two smokers smoking 2 PAD for 5 years and paying NY taxes(very few if anyone doesn't buy bootlegs) would have spent 75 grand. Two Months ago I paid that much for a move in ready 1200 sq/ft ranch house. Actually one up the street that needs some updating for 65K.

So in closing I'm saying a couple who smoke could for a fact buy a house in NY and pay it off in 5 years just by quiting smoking. Thats crazy huh??

Of coarse I only smoked bootlegs so my savings isn't anywhere near that amount but I still would save money if I didn't fall down the vape rabbit hole.

I only had a few Provari's so didn't lose a ton of money. I'm pretty cheap so it does sorta bother me but in the big picture my pickup eat Provari priced parts for breakfast.
